OF the head expressing dissent. Mr.: Roar
went on: There is but one organ of this
country with foreign countries. That is the

press nor the two houses of Congress. nor

NO DANGER OF WAR
There was no danger of war with Eng
land, Mr. Hoar exclaimed. England did
want 10 20 TO war with the United States
and the United States did not want to go
to war with England. Mr.. Hoar told the
antcdote of the great Napoleon walking

And I said that l did not" Mr.. Turpie

Now the Senator is quibbling and wants
| to raise a question:" said Mr.. Mitchell /.
| Il shall not interrupt him any more"
Il am very glad" Mr.. Turpie rejoined
land l hope the Senator will keep his
promise. But am going to make a con-

| this case for eight hours and ! never in

'Does the Senator from Indiana" Mfr.

| took the floor on the Della ware election
| question, and then the Senate proceeded
| to executive business, and at p. N
