Mr.. Hawley. rep, of Connecticut, who
had voted for the Senate resolutions,
intimated that there was considerations
which should make senators stop and
think before voting. The United States
criticism from Europe; and it was within
the boundaries of possibility that this
country would find itself involved in
war not with one nation but with more
than one. He ridiculed the talk about an
American army of 100000 or 100000,
and asked what these men would do
without coast defenses. Would they
march to the sandy beach of New Jersey
and offer themselves as food for the
enemy's cannon? They could no nothing
else.
Among the bills reported and placed on
the calendar was one for the adjustment

of Nebraska, introduced a joint resolution
authorizing the President of the United
ing the political independence of Cuba;
and asked unanimous consent to submit
some observations at this time.
Let it go over" Mr.. Hale interpoSed.
The Vice President asked whether there
was any objections to Mr.. Aliens request.
Il will not object Mr.. Hale said, but
| call the attention of the senator from
Nebraska to the Importance of observing
the rule which requires imperatively that
on objection to any measure, 1t shall go
over and unless the Senate believes that
there is some distinctively good reason
why he should submit remarks at the
present time, l hope he will not ask unan-
lmous consent to break the rule. 1 will
not object myself"
This brought about sharp interchange
OF compliments between Nessrs. Allen and
Hale into which Mr.. Chandler was also
drawn, which occupied fifteen or twenty
minutes. 1t was ended by an inquiry from
Mr. Wolcott as to what business was be-
fore the Senate that allowed the triang
ular colloquy. The Vice President ex-
planned the situation.
i could have delivered my speech in
TWO minutes" Mr.. Allen remarked, with
request for unanimous consent"
