AGED SENATORS At Odds
Continued from First Page.

Joint resolution of the New York Legislature,
that the committee would have to do one
of two things either report back the reso-
luton adversely and asked TO he discharged
from its further consideration, or turn It's
face in the other direction, but that,
whatever it did, he was confident that the
folly and overstrained pride OF Spain would
force her into improper and wrong proceed
ings toward the people OF the United States
and wouldlead her to engagein war;andthat
in such a case he drew his sword and laid II
on the table and Spain might take 1t up
IL she chose.
DIDN'T SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
Mr.. Hoar said, with Il shrug ofindifference,
that heaCccptedM Mr.. Morgan statement, but
was unable TO see any great distinction
between ii and his statement He again
dwelt upon the absence or any report from
the Committee on Foreign Relations on
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Iudedto the request
made i'll the morning by,Mr. Sherman for the
printing OF the paper addressed to the State
Department by the agent OF the Cuban in
surgentS. He was Informed by Mr.. Sherman
that that paper hdd been read in the Senate
in his Mr.. HOarSJ absence, The Senator,
Mr.. Sherman added, was away 4 week or
TWO. and did not know what was going on
here. Laughter
Mr.. Morgan asked MIR. Hoar whether he
could devise any method by which the
Senate or the President could get access
70 the center Of Cuba today for the pur-
pose OF getting Information.
Mr.. Hoar retorted with the question
whether Mr.. Morgan thought that the Sen
ate should act without information because
OF the difficulty of obtaining.
Mr.. Morgan repliedl THAI Senators had
the reports OF the American consu!s in
Cuba.
That is what the Senator now says"
Mr.. uoar responded. "but the Committee
on Foreign Relations has not informed
the Senate whether these consular reports
are true We have had nothing but i'm
FASHIONED speeches from some OF its MEM
bers. That is not the way in which our
foreign relations should be treated"
Mr.. Morgan asked Mr.. Hoar on what he
had acted when ne was so ardent about
outrages on the Armcnians.
Mr.. Hoar replied that what he had pro-
posed in regard to Armenia was just what
he proposed in regard to Cuba-to say to
the President that the Senate was ready
to sustain him in any measure that he
might see fit TO take for the protection of
the lives and property OF American citi
2ens there.
MR.. HOAR'S TELEGRAM.
Mr.. Chandler sought TO add To Mr.. HOar's
annoyance by reading that Senator's tele-
gram 10 President Cleveland, saving that
the President might depend upon his vote
and speech in the Senate for the most
vigorous action the President could take
in connection with Armenian outrages,
even If he determined to treat the PERSONS
who committed them as pirates, or com
mon enemies OF the human race. (Laugh
teri
Mr.. Hoar defended his course on the Ar
menian question, saying that he had inves
tigatcd that subject thoroughly.
Finally Mr.. Hoar's resolution was al
lowed to go over till today, instead of
being sent to the calendar, in accordance
with the rule, Mr.. HOar stating that he
would address the Senate, and aiming
parting shaft at Mr.. Sherman, saying that
the Senator had imputed to him a very
improper motive, and in very improper
way
The Senate then proceeded to the con
sideratiOn OF the question whether Mr..
Dupont has or has not been duly elected
a Senator OF the United States Senate
from the State of Delaware, Mr.. Turpie
Dem. Indiana, continuing his argument
of Monday against Mr.. Dupont's right to
the seat.
without action on the question, the Sen
ate, at 4:4O, adjourned until today.
