Whereas. we are not afraid OF an.
nation on earth, We will say TO Mrs

citizens We'll NOT ask damages for it,
The senate, he said, should ask th'

Republican platform proposed.

Mr. Hoar said with some feeling that
he supposed that ne was one Of the
''barnac:es" 10 whom Mr.. Mason referr-

ton of resolutions based on idle reports.
81 am sick of this kind of acting in the
United States senate" declared Mr..
Hoar 81 think it is disgraceful. The
sera1nr (Mason) wants TO put down a
war with Spain, and he would put II
down with a nosquito-a mosquito of

"A New Jersey mosquito?" queried
Mr. Mason gaily, amid laughter.
Mr.. Hoa- closed with the somewhat

GALLINGER AND HALE.
Mr.. Gallinger expressed surprise that
senators should be accused of speaking
for the applause of the galleries and of
furnishing 5uncombe for constituents.
These senators had sought for months
10 secure consideration of Cuban res
olution but had been cut off by fiilibus-
tering methods.
Mr.. Hale earnestly protested against
this reference of filibustering. He gave
in detail the time consumed by the adj
v0cates and the opponents OF the pend
ing resolution. showing that most of the
speeches had come from those favorable
to the resolution.

Mr.. Gallnger promptly declined 10

of senator's who accused their associates
OF audaciiy and cheek whenever they
had anything TO say in behalf Of Cuba
Later. Mr.. Hale stated that there
would be no unnecessary delay in the
resolution. He was as anxious as any
one, ne said, to see the resolution out of
the way.
Nj. Hawley of Connecticut spoke
