The urgency felt in advancing the Cuban
question to a finality In the Senate WAS
shown today by the abandonment OF the
usual routine business the suspension Of
the reading of the journal and the imme-
date taking up of the Cuban resolutions.

populist Senator.
Mr. Allen Against Da Point.
Mr.. Aliens argument was of a legal char
acter, the general conclusion being that Du
Pont was not regularly elected, and not
entitled to a seat. He contended that Mr.
Du Pont was not entitled to a seat in the
Senate without a certificate or credentials
from the executive of the state, and when
this was lacking. as i'm this case, the courts
of the state could compel the issuance of the
credentials by the governor.

from the governor

disclosed Mr.. Alien as the 'wisest man i'm
the Senate"

Mr.. Caffery OF Louisiana then proceeded
with his speech, begun yesterday, oppos-
ing the Cuban resolutions. In response to
whispered inquiry by Mr.. Platt of Connec-
ticut, who sat near him. Mr.. Caffery said:
Il 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 governments conduct their own
affairs. No, 1 protest against attacks on
the character of foreign countries. I pro-
test against these epithets, hurled right

chamber. take no part in such denun.

of place. and as not BETTING the dignity OF
the Senate Of the United States"
Mr.. Caffery went on to urge that the reso-
luton was q gratuftous insult to Spain and
amounted almost to war. Why, he asked,
should the United States Senate turn to the
fairy tales told in the newspapers. to blood.
