The senate. he said. should ask the
president to use his good Offices with
Spain to secure peace and the indepen-
dence OF Cuba, and that was what the
Republican platform proposed. He
would have the facts found as a court
found them before entering judgment,
and would then say to Spain, 1--WE have
found such and such facts on which we
propose to act, and IL you don't stop that
war we'll stop it," and he would not
stand In the senate and brag Of what we
could do.
Mr.. Hoar said with some feeling that
he supposed he was one of the "barna-
cles' to whom Mr.. Mason had referred.
The senator spoke of the reckless intro
duction OF resolutions based on idle re-
ports.
Il am sick OF this kind of action i'm the
United states senate" declared Mr.
Hoar. II think 1t Is disgraceful. The
senator (Mason) wants TO put down a
war with Spain. and he would put it
down with mosquito--a mosquito Of
much buzz and very little sting"

Mr.. Mason. gayly. amid laughter.
II know the reputation of a New

Mr. Galllnger, who still held the floor,
declined to yield further.
:Then / withdraw the 'impudence,' :"
proceeded Mr.. Hale. 1T was at least a
sort of colossal cheek"
Mr.. Gallinger peremptorily declined to
yield further. He criticised the course
OF senators who accused their associates
or audacity and cheek whenever they
had anything TO say in behalf of Cuba.
Later Mr.. Hale stated that there would
be no unnecessary delay on the resolu-
ton. After far discussion IL would be
voted on. He was as anxious as any
one, he said, to get the resolution out of
the way.
A question arose as to the neutrality
laws.
Mr.. Hoar endeavored to elucidate.
whereupon Mr.. Mason made jocular
remarkin stage whisper. which started
several senator's laughing.
Turning TO Mr.. Mason, Mr.. Hoar said:
