VEST DOES Nor SPEAK.
And Anti-Cubanites Think They Have
Won a Victory.

speak today 1 never said that [ would
7 certainly cannot reply to Senator
Vest if he does not speak. said Senator
Hill. The senate became aware of this
condition of affairs early in the day but
the galleries remained in ignorance dur
ing greater part of the session. many
they could be rega1ed with such debate
as the present session has not witnessed
The misrepresentation as to the senator's
intentions grew out of the fact that he
had said that he would call up the res
olutiOn today. He had said nothing of
any intention to make a speech but every
one rushed to the conclusion that he could
have no other purpose in getting it up.
The opponents assert that the Missouri
senator S failure to talk is due to the fact
that he has been induced to look into
authorities which do not sustain his view
of the question and that he has now con-
cluded to investigate further before
Spea king. The question is one requiring
close attention to precedents and the con-
stitutional points and all recognize that
Senators agreed that if Vest and Hin
