constellation of states, and invoked the
knitting together of the hearts of all
the people of the union for the advance
ment and glory of our beloved country.
Turpie, democrat, Indiana, in pre-
| senting a petition concerning the Turk
ish massacres, said the Armenians were
charged with no revolt, only with being
Christians. The time has come, said
the senator, when there should be an
| official notification to Turkey and to the
| Mohammedan church, that there has
! been a decadence in their power to
proselyte with the sword. I'VE have
already sent a message" said the SEN
ator, referring to the concurrent reso-
luton, but it should be followed by a
shot which would go crashing through
the grand seraglio." The senator urged
1t would be a glorious day when the
destruction of this Turkish power was
brought about. The senator urged the
| Christian world might now be called
upon to take up another crusa6 driv-
ing back the rule of MohammC lnism
and spreading the rule of Christianity.
| Turpie spoke with great earnestness
and vigor and his remarks attracted
much attention.
Allen of Nebraska, gave notice of an
amendment to the pending silver bond
bill, depriving the secretary of the trea-
sury of the power to issue bonds unless
authority is granted by congress.
Calls resolution for the investigation
| of the arrest of Eugene V. Debs was
taken up. Call demanded immediate
action, saying the laboring interests of
the country desired an inquiry.
Hill nf cot he
had respect for the laboring people, but
he never heard they desired this inves-
tigation. If such an inquiry was desir-
able it should be conducted by one of
the regular committees. He offered an
amendment directing the whole subject
| be investigated by the committee on
| judiciary and a report be made as to
what, If any. legislation, was neces-
| sary.
Call said the amendment was intend
ed to suppress this inquiry. He spoke
vigorously upon the indignities and
wrongs against Eugene V. Debs, be-
cause he ventured to express opinions
| contrary to those entertained by the
| court The senator said this inquiry
was vital to the preservation of civil
| liberty and the inviolability of the per-
sonal rights of the individual
Hill said he would not be put into an
| attitude of opposing the inquiry. He
paid a high tribute to Debs and said
the action he urged was with a view to
securing appropriate legislative action.
Allen. who severely criticised Judge
Woods, created a flutter of excitement
by asserting in his opinion the express
purpose for referring the resolution to
the standing committee was to suppress
and kill il. 1t was an adroit means of
sending the resolution to the dark
| caverns' of the senate
The resolution finally went over to al
low Thurston of Nebraska to address
the senate on the Monroe doctrine He
freely criticized the attitude of Senator
Wolcott and supported the stand taken
by the president.
Senator Thurston said: THE adoption
of the resolution reported by the COM
mittee on foreign affairs will present a
grand international issue which may
hold much menace TO the worlds peace:
an issue which / sincerely hope and
profoundly believe will be resolved to
the abiding peace and honor and per-
manence of this government, but which,
1t is useless to deny. may prec!pitate
upon our beloved country all the disas-

great English speaking nations of the
globe remit their differences to the ar

responsibilities; dare not vote for the
pending resolution without first sub

mankind and the dispasstonate criti-

Were there nothing at stake but
mere adjustment OF boundary line be-
tween Venezuela and British Guiana,
would hesitate long and seriously be-
fore voting to commit this government
to any tnterf renee. But the present
question rises high above any Venezue-
Ian dispute. The British prime minis
ter, the accredited mouthpiece of the
strongest power OF Christendom. has
seen fit to officially declare and TO ad-
wise this government that the Monroe
doctrine has no place in the law of ma
tiOns. and is not accepted or recognized
by any European power. This challenge
thus broadly thrown down by Great
Britain must be taken up by this re-
public or the Monroe doctrine Is a thing
Of the past.
