Abstract of the More Important Pro-
CeedingS of Both Houses.
TUESDAY, MARCH n


In the Senate. Mr. Pugh, in concluding his
silver speech, declared that if the friends oil
silver in three political parties could be un'ed
on one man, they would elect President by
an overwhelming majority. But, nnfoItu-
nately tho friends OF free silver were hghtins
each other in separate political organizations,
and this fact was the greatest and the only
obstacle in the way of their success in the
next Presidential election. Is was utterly I'M
reasonable said Mr.. Pugh. to expect free-coin-
age Democrats who constitute four-fifts of the
party, to go over to the Populist party, made
mp OF a mere fraction of the friends OF Tree
coinage.
The Cuban resolutions were then taken up,
and Mr. Morgan. of Alabama, proceeded with his
speech i'm support of the resolutions. de spoke
of the supersensitiveness of Spain, caused. he
said, because she felt the sand slipping from
under her feet, while the Gem Of the Antilles
was passing out of her grasp.
Mr.. Morgan referred to Minister Dupuy de
Jome's celebrated diatribe" critcizing Sem
ators and appealing over their heads to the
American people. Such act by super
ciious foreign Minister" was most remarkable,
and it would be high time for the American
Congress TO retire if the American people ever
listened to the appeal of foreigner, calling in
question words used in debate.
The Senator then had the clerk read the
reply of Gonzales Quesado, Secretary of the
Cuban Junta, to the Spanish Ministers letter.
Ii related such shocking details as to indign-
ties on Cuban women by Spanish troops that
Mr.. Chandler urged the statement be printed
but not read
Mr.. Morgan went on to read from personal
letters received by him giving the experience
OF men in Cuba. lie said these letters disclosed
the existence of a bloody war, and 1t was the
duty of Congress to recognize that condition OF
war as ex listing. The Senator said he had re-
ceived postal cards from The North bidding
him TO leave the country and consort with the
negro Maceo But he could not be diverted by
these insults nor by the attack of some news.

FRIDAY MARCH 90.

In the Senate, the Cuban resolutions were
! taken up.
Mr. CafTery Ia, d. then proceeded with his
| speech opposing the resolutions. In response
to a whispered inquiry by Mr.. Plat Conn. L. J,
who sat near him, Mr.. Gallery said: a / say,
in response to an inquiry, that we should not
be engaged in denouncing on the floor of the
Senate the manner in which foreign Govern
ments conduct their own affairs. No, protest
against the attacks on the character of foreign
countries. protest against these epithets,
hurled right and left at Spain during the de-
bate in this Chamber"
Mr.. Call said there was no excuse for hesita-
ton or doubt in the course of the Government.
This was but the prelude TO the execution of
that broad plan of cooperation among Ameri-
can Republics foreseen by James q. Blaine.
AT one point. when Mr.. Call was urging in
tervention, Mr.. Platt asked: Suppose we sug-
gest intervention and Spain does not accept it,
then does the Senator propose we shall go TO
WARP"
First let us make our declaration and see
what effect that has" answered Mr.. Call Next,
let US repeal our neutrality laws and allow our
brave boys and men, ready to risk their lives
in the cause of freedom, an opportunity to do
so. That will settle the question without a
war and will settle it within 80 days"
In the House, the Bayard resolution being
before the members Mr.. Fairchild IN. Y, R.)
took issue with the majority OF the Foreign
Affairs Committee as to the character of Mr..
Bayard's ofiense. They thought it was merely
a censurahle ofense, and he expressed regret
that the Committee had not adhered to Mr..
Barrett's original resolution to bring in arti-
Giles of impeachment.
Mr.. Webster ALA, D. in opposition to the
resolution, made a reference to the tariff He
said this attack on Ambassador Bayard came
from Massachusetts, a State that believed in
protection for projections sake.
Mr.. Willis DEL, R.) was the first Republi-
can to announce that he opposed censuring Mr..
Bayard. Like Mr.. Hutchinson, he said he
would be willing to vote for the second resolu-
ton, but be could not vote for the resolution
of censure. He respected Mr.. Bayard as a man
OF force and distinction.
Other members spoke. Then Mr. Hit asked
for vote. At the request of Mr. Willis the
vote was taken separately on the two resou-
tions. The first resolution censured Mr.. Bay
ard :" in the name of the American people"
The second condemned in general terms the
delivery of partisan speeches by our foreign
representatives.
The resolution was adopted-1S0 ayes to IL

Hoean's Alley and College boys Pa

The yellow kid of Hogan's alley, fol-
lowed by q number OF other equally as
celebrated denizens Of that resort, known
only TO readers Of the New York Journal,
visited Richmond last night, and, N
honor Of the approaching election OF VII
liam Jennings Bryan, paraded all OF lhe
most prominent streets Of Richmond, TO
music furnished by the First Regiment
Drum Corps.
The yellow kid was gotten up strictly
according to Hoyle, and his best girl
was by his side during the most OF the
uarade. though she occasionally stopped
and fingered behind long enough 10 ilrt
with some Of the boys who lined the
Sidewalk and witnessed the grotesque
and amusing parade.
While the Hoean's-alley crowd was DIS
tinctly the feature Of the procession, the
BRYAN. sewan. and Lamb Club. Of Rich
mond College. who brought up the rear
were very much I'm evidence, and their
immense banner-containing sixteen sill
YER stars and one gold one, and the
names of the candidates whom the club
members are supporting-created much
enthusiasm all along the line OF march.
The streets over which the procession
moved were Illuminated, aud a beautiful
display of fireworks was made on almost
every square. Especially was this true
OF Broad street, thc Whple lcHstn %
which was traversed by the parade. The
street was lined with people. who cheered
ths young enthusiasts on. and the crowd
was undoubtedly for Bryan and Democ-
racy. as the frequent cheers for the Boy
Orator which greeted the Hogan s-alley
crowd indicated.

considerable enthusiasm for the Demo-

speeches were made by Messrs. d. c..

land Pollard.
The parade passed the Dispatch office.
where three cheers were given for this
paper and the nominees Of the Democratic
party.

active around city headquarters, though
he did not remain there very long ~
any one time. Mr.. Smith appeared TO
be very sauguine o. Mckinley election,
and offered TO bet 500 10 Sioo thereon. \

60 take this bet was soon found for him.

Of clerks had been gotten rid OF. and none
but the few faithful were IN evidence
around the rooms that had FOR the past
few days presented such a busy scene.
IL was stated there. however, that the
Palmer and Bucllncr vote in Virginia
would be very small. indeed insignin-
cant. and that many Of those who had
originally intended TO vote for the two
decOy candidates would support McKn-
ley. All Of thove seen az the hesdquar-
tcrs denied most positively. though, that
any suggestion had emanatcd from them
10 the Palmer and Buckncr following 10
shift their vote TO Mckinley.
The gentlemen seen around the Bolto-
cratic headquarters said. however. that
they didn't believe. Notwithstanding Nc
Kinley would receive a large percentage
Of Palmer votes. that he would be able
90 defeat Mr. Bryan in this State. Mr.
Guigon was the only Palmerite who ex-
pressed the belief that the Republicans
would carry Virginia. and he claimed

that the returns tonight will prove
him 20 be a false prophet.

trusted with the reins Of government.
Mr.. Waddul spoke next I'm behalf or
the regular Democratic nominee. Ills
speech was well prepared, and gave quite
fun consideration 10 the most important

Mr.. Waddn received about FIVE siXths or
the votes present, the remainder going
