AROUSED TO
A HIGH PITCH.
Continued from Page -

the discussion into a mooted debate.
THE senator from Ohio is a man of
penetration, of great scientific attain
ments,'' answered Mr.. Hoar, 'but L
doubt whether he has 80 mastered the
science of the x rays as TO penetrate my
brain and ascertain my motives in offer
ing this resolution"
Mr.. Hoar said his only purpose in urg-
ing this resolution was to call attention
TO some new practices growing up in deal
ing with grave foreign questions. Instead
of having effective action by the legisla-
tive and executive branches the legisla-
rent resolution TO express an ineffective
opinion 1t was all moot question.
CONGRESS is NOT BOUND,
the president is not bound, the people are
not bound. Mr.. Hoar said he objected to
doing business with one-half of the pair
of scissors" If we wanted to cut any
knots, let US get both halves of the sets
sors, let congress act with the president
and let the president act with congress
Mr.. Sherman again interrupted, but Mr.
! Hoar waved him aside with emphasis to
the great amusement Of senators and the
crowded galleries.
Mr.. Hoar insisted on making his ex-
! PLANTATION, without interruption. to the
suggestion Of the Ohio senator that an
| attack had been made on the COMMITTEES
! on foreign relations. a very grave for
| elgn question was before the senate It
was a question so grave that the senator
| (Alorgan) who reported the Cuban reso-
! luticns said he would lay his sword be-
fore the senate and Spain was at liberty
TO take 1t up. Mr.. Hoar was interrupted
from across the aisle by Mr.. Morgan
HOAR MEANS IT.
will the senator yield?' asked Mr..
! Morgan.
q will not" responded Mr.. Hoar, de-
"But demand that you shall; you have
arf rot a-,,As =
/ Mr.. Morgan.
Mr.. Hoar said he would of course yield
| for correction.
Mr. Morgan pointed out that his state
ment as to laying down his sword was
! the conclusion of a previous statement
/ that If it became necessary If war came
! then he would place his sword on the
table OF the committee, and If Spain
| wished to take it up she could do so.
Mr.. Hoar went on to urge that no facts
| on the Cuban question had been pre-
scented to the senate. The letters trans
mftted by the president had never been
read in the senate.
Mr.. Shrman jocularly interrupted to
| say that the Massachusetts senator was
! absent for two weeks and did not know
| what had been done. He Sherman had
! read to the senate from these letters.
Mr.. Hoar responded that everything
| the Ohio senator read or spoke did not
necessarily become widely known. He
proceeded to argue that congress was
MEDDLING TOO MUCH
in diplomacy, and it was meddling with
/ out any information as to facts.
How would you get information from
! the inaccessible quarters of Cuba?'
asked Mr.. Morgan.
Twill we act without information be-
cause we cannot get information?" ques-
toned Mr.. Hoar.
Mr.. Morgan raised another laugh by
| asking Mr.. Hoar where he got his in
| formation on which he urged such en-
| ergetic action as TO Armenia.
Mr.. Chandler added to the amusement
by reading Mr.. Hoar's dispatch 10 Secre-
| tary Olney as to Armenia, in which the
! Massachusetts senator said his voice and
| vote could be depended on even to the
extent of treating the oppressors of Ar
menia as pirates and enemies of the
/ human race. Mr.. Chandler sarcastically
asked If Mr.. HoaT had intended to add to
| this dispatch provided no action is
| taken before April g."
Mr.. Hoar insisted that his course as
] to Armenia was the result of investiga-
| tion and he was ready to stand on that
Investigation. That is what he asked the
senate to do, to
INVESTIGATE BEFORE ACTING.
At this point the presiding officer an
nounced it was 2 o'clock, the close of
| the morning business.
Mr.. Hoar again asked that the resolu-
| tion go over without prejudice until to-
| morrow as his health was NIT such as
! to permit his going on. Mr.. Sherman
! did not renew his objection. and the reSo-
| luton went over
The Dupont contest was then taken up
I and Mr. Turpie (Dem) Ind, resumed his
speech against the claims of Mr.. Du-
pont 10 a seat in the senate. Mr.. Turpie
/ had not concluded when, at Ass, the
| senate went into executive session and
! soon after adjourned.
