Since the PETER motion ofputting the

on the Dingley bill, the spiciest incident
iu the senate this session has been the
speech of Senator Allen of Nebraska IN
reply to the criticism of the senator s

Massachusetts in AZ after dinner speech
in Boston while ratifying over the cleo

presses the hope that Spaniards will
continue to disregard the vltuperatlon

The Globe says:
when these wild men rave at Eng

amusing lunatics, whose grotesque
antics do not carry danger to either
country. But the Spanish are more
easily infiamcd to anger, and there is
some danger of Spain falling into the

Spain has endured .@Ich cOntumely

many indications that this passive SUBJ
mission to insult will not last much
longer 1t would be we'll, therefore,
for the Washington government to
place restraint upon Senator Chandler
