wAsHINoToN. Jan. 20.--The Senate
had busy session today.
Turple, ,(Dem. Ino.,) resumed his
speech on the Cuban question. He
spoke Of the papers recently cent to tue
Senate reciting the claims OF Ameri.
cans against Spain. These, II allo wed,
could not be- paid In generations from
spsin's impoverished purse.
~ would rather trust the resources
Of the Cuban republic" declared the
Senator, "than those OF Spain, stripped
as she will be OF the resourcee of
Cnbe.'
Turple then cited the psst iBotauces
in which speedy recognition had been
given by the United States to the
revOlutiontsts OF South American
republics against Spain, and also
spain's recognition OF the confederacy.
Two yenfs after The Argentine outbreak
President Monroe urged recognition
Of the beiligeTeDcy and four years after
the outbreak urged the recognition
OF Independence. There was no kug.
gssiion OF autonomy, home rule and
restoring peSce, anu yet this outbreak,
said Tufpie, was brief compared with
the present one in Cuba, now in its
twelfth year. "rbere was no fear OF
war with Spain" said the senator.
There never mad been such war and
be hoped and believed there never
would. The recognition of bsllic.
etency was recog nized right, not u
cause Of war.
Spain has utterly failed to make
Roadway against the rebellion. With
an overwhelming military and naval
force, Spain has not re-eotabllshed her
over IN the single state OF Pinar del
Rio.
Purple closed as follows: "If the
Cuban patriots succeed we may then
claim VIC were friends of that re-
public; friends In need, n the hour and
DAY or danger. II failure is before
them-which may God averi!-our
action will etill lose nothing OF grace
or OF grandeur"
Tho Senate then turned to the VOL.
cott bill providing for an international
monetary conference. White dem,
Cal. spoke dorisively OF Wolco,l,s trip
to Europe az the representative of the
coming administration in behalf OF
bimetaljism. This envoy nDtecedent
had not met the most hearty recsp.
tion, II the cable reports could be be-
lieved, but hai been referred by the
British statesmen to their brothers on
the continent. White said the senator
from New Hampshire (Chandief) In
hm leisure hours from the Senate
edited newspaper, which contained
au article which White had read at
the desk amid some amusement. 1t
spoke OF Senator Sherman rs the great
leader who would solve the problem OF
bmeIallism. Turning to Sherman,
White asked the Ohio senator II he
was ready TO assume the task mapped
out for him. There was no purpose,
10 far as he knew, White proceeded, TO
oppose this measure, as " was felt to
DO harmless, while II might satisfy
liz promoters, who might feel that 1t
Kept come OF their promises. Yet with
this act they were doomed to oeT-
tain failure. When 1t hau remained
Enacted upon come other device might
be resorled TO. The senator referred
10 the lonesomeness OF the proposed
oommission going about and seeking
nations with whom to confer. He |
doubted II any one would be appoint-
Cd to this commission unless, come
large emolument was attached to the |
llaoes.
Cannon Ind., Utah) urged on
amendment directing the President of |
The United States TO call conference |
and reciling that the purpose was
toward securing ratio between Is to |
l and 10 TO l.. He said The Wolcott
bill merely relieved Mckinley from |
all responsibility, leaving him the |
meIe administrative duty OF appoint. |
Ing commissioners. There was n
belief, be said, that Mckinley IN his
holy OF holies entertsins conviction |
iavOrab.e to bimetallisnn, aud the bill |
should be msue broad enough TO per-
nit the coming President 10 aid in the |
accom- plishmeut OF this great end, |
