Importance that the bill should be
passed as II came from the house. The
amendments he proposed were not i'm
portant. Chandler then delivered q
glowing eulogy on the patriotism and
Americanism OF the president. But
this was not without its sting. when he
referred to Cleveland as inspired by
the genius OF Massachusetts, in the
person OF the secretary of state. He
appealed to both sides of the chamber
not to allow any question OF party ad-
vantage to stand in the way of hearty
support OF the executive. He said the
senate should thank God that Cleve-
land had divorced politics from foreign
affairs.
II understand" Chandler proceeded
sarcastically. that stocks have gone
down to-day: that Wall street and
State street are agitated because a
democratic president desires to sustain
the honor of his country and Is upheld
by a republican congress. I do not
think we should be intimidated by
these foreign capitalists who are
pounding the stock board"
He then read from a cablegram to q
New York paper an account of a meet

described as being about ready to
throw their American securities on the

done more for English interests than

cause he stands firm for American
honor, he has fallen SO low In the esti-
nation OF Englishmen that there are
now none TO do him reverence"

Teller said he regretted the president
had not taken action without waiting
