CUBAN QUESTION
Causes Another Breezy Debate In
at the Senate Chamber.
MINISTER De LONE REBUKeD.
Senator Hoar Again Pleads
For Moderation.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE crowds
In anticipation of an exciting Cuban de-
bato were not disappointed. Two new
phases OF the subject made their appear
anoc, and each afforded debate which
aroused senators and spectators to "a high
stage OF interest and excitement
The main qucstion--on the adoption OF
the house Cuban resolutions-was not
reached OF mentioned, as the new phases
occupied all the time up 10 y p. m. Mr.
Lodge arose TO question OF personal
privilege, and in vigorous words rebuked
the Spanish minister, Dupuy dc LONE,
for his recent criticisms of senators. SEN
ator Teller added his opinion thai rep.
etition of the ministers action should bo
followed by his dismissal. Senators Gray
and Hale maintained that senatorial priv
ilego and prerogatlve should not be
strained TO close the mouth Of the Spanish
minister. Mr. Lodge did not press for
any definite action.
The incident WAS hardly closed when
the subject came up in another form.
Mr. Hoar had asked that his resolution
postponing the entire Cuban question un-
til April u go over until today. This
aroused Mr.. Sherman To an energetic and
feeling protest. he declared that Mr..
Hoar's resolution was q reflection on tho
committee on foreign relations and was
an effort TO shelve the Cuban resolutions
after weeks of discussion and overwhelm-
ing votes in both houses
MIR. Hoar finally waved Mr.. Sherman
aside with emphasis TO the great amuse-
mens OF senators and the crowded CALLER
les. Mr. Hoar insisted on making his ex-
planation, without interruption. TO the
suggestion of the Ohio senator that an at
tack had been made on the committee on
foreign relations. A very grave question
was before the senate. 1t was question
SO grave that the senator (Morgan) who
reported the Cuban resolutions said 20
would lay his sword before the senate and
Spain was at liberty to take IL up.
Mr.. Hoar SAIL he would, Of course, yield
for correction.

Senator Morgan Rises to Explain.

Mr.. Morgan pointed out that his state
ment as 10 laying down his sword was the
conclusion of a previous statement that II
10 became necessary, IL war came, then he
would place his sword on the table OF the
committees, and If Spain wished To take it
up she could do So
Senator Hoar continued: eve have no
findings of fact brought before the senate
in any authentic way. We have "a mes
sage of the president TO the house of rep
resentatives containing the diplomatic COR
respondepce and consular reports, but
nothing else Now the senator from Ohio
for the first time brings before the senate
what be says was before the committee"
Here Mr.. Sherman interrupted TO say
that he had read pages and pages to tho
senate, and that Mr.. Hoar had been absent
for q week or two and did not know what
had been going on. Mr.. Hoar was unable
to show that the document In question
hnd never been printed for the senate and
TINT his original contention was correct.
Senator Morgan inquired whether the
senate must wait till il was sure 1t had all
the facts before It could act.
Mr.. Hoar answered with a counter ques-
ton: Would you have the senate take
action without knowledge OF factsy" Mr.
Hoar went on to explain that he objected
To the mixing up of things between the
executive and the senate. Someone in
qurcd bow that Tailed with Hoar's posi-
ton In favor of aid TO Armenia.
Mr. Hoar answered that the two matters
were not at all parallel.
Mr. Chandler then read the full text OF
Mr.. Honr's message to the president
pledging his support to the most vigorous
measures the administration might take
in the Armenian matter.
Mr. Hoar said that this was in the inter
est OF humanSty and patriotism, and he
would willingly vote tomorrow for any
measure for the protection OF the lives OF
American citizens In Cuba, but that is q
different thing from recognizing the bel
ligcrency of an insurgent party on the
island
Mr.. Sherman finally withdrew his OBJ
jection and Mr.. Hoar's resolution went
over until today, but not before Mr. Hoar
had made brief bot telling speech
against what he termed the meddling pol
Icy OF congress in foreign questions.
The lattor part OF the day was given to
n continuance of Mr. Turpe's speech in
opposition TO the claim Of Mr.. Dupont.

STORIES OF ANIMALS.
Rats Like Oysters An Intelligent Mule.
Suicide OF Dog.

The almost human intelligence OF ami
mails is ever a source OF interesting obser-
vation 10 students of natural history. Tho
other day cat boarded the Royal Blue
express at Baltimore and rode all the way
TO New York. No one had seen. her
boarding the train. and TO all intents and
purposes she was like any tramp, trying
TO beat her way. She had secreted her
self on the engine tender, and her glossy
black coat was soaking wet from the
water butt on the tender.
The novel method of larceny adopted
by rat betrayed real genius. Harry Stoll,
who has an oyster stand at the corner OF
Newark and Washington streets, Hobo
ken, concluded that-a thief was pilfering
his goods. So he set watch, and laid
various traps for the thief. A clam solved
the mystery by catching at least one OF
the thieves, a fat, sleek, comforta BILE rat,
who looked as III he might have been
making a very good living in the oyster
shop. Stoll now proclaims his discovery
that rats like oysters and CLANS.
"But how in thunder, said Stoll, "do
the blamed beasts get the shellfish openf
That's what beats me-" The rat caught
by Mr.. Stoll's detective clam was securely
fastened by the tail. Ii is well known
that clans and oysters have habit OF
opening up when they are pat in dry
place, and that Is the time when the rat
gets in his work The rat puts his paws
inside and tackles the oyster. He quickly
yanks the oyster out, II he can, and
makes him give up his hold on his shell.
III he can't, the oyster closes the shell
with snap, and the rat is prisoner.
