pending resolution. He said Mr.. Sher-
man would soon assume the responsible
ity of the conduct of the state depart
ment and he could well afford to wait
until that time.
This brought Mr.. Sherman to his feet,
who replied with much spirit complain
ing that he should not be dragged INTO
the debate. which, he said, he did not not
want to enter. He said the Sanguiily
resolution commanded his respect, as ne
felt that Sanguil.y had been made the
subject of almost barbarous injustice.
! II say, therefore," he said, "that Mr.;
Sanugily's rights should be respected
and guarded by the United States, but
/ am not in favor of debating the resoln-
ton at this time, when it stands in the
way of appropriation bills
He had agreed to the reporting by Mt:
Morgan of the resolution and nc han
voted against its consideration when It
antagonized the appropriation bill, and
he saw no inconsistency in his action.
But this feeling on his part that appro-
priation bills should be considered did
not deter him from entering his protest
against violence and wrong, and he
trusted the time would never come when
/ he could see man robbed of his rights
as Sangui!y bad been without entering
his protest He would not, if he could
prevent it, see Sahguilly driven to the
point of suicide, as another American
citizen in Cuba seemed to have. been;
~ am" he said, in conclusion, "op-
posed to tyranny and wrong, wherever
encountered, and | should stand by Mr..
Sanguilly if | stood alone"
1--WE are ALL" responded Mr. White,
Opposed to tyranny and wrong, but we
may differ as to the means of correcting
them"
Referring to Mr. Shermans reference
to the fact that Mr.. Morgan had reported
the resolution, Mr.. White said that Mr.,
Sherman could not escape the RESPONSE
mans course might be consistent, in that
senator's opinion, but to his (White's)
mind, it was far from consistent.
Mr.. White then entered upon a tech
meal legal argument to show that the
exercise Of diplomatic functions belonged
exclusively to the executive department,
which matter constituted the main part
of its power.
At $50 p. m. while Mr.. White was
still speaking, Mr.. Allison asked that
unanimous consent be given to n recess
from & to s p. m, the appropriation bills
to he considered ut the night session.
Mr.. Hill, Directing, remarked soto vocc
to senator's: I'VE might rs well go on
and conclude this question: referring to
the Cuban resolution.
Then Mr.. Allison asked for agreement
for n recess from to 8 p. m, without
condition as to appropriation bills, and
this was agreed to.
Mr.. White gave way temporarily to
allow of the consideration of bills on the
calendar and the following bills were
passed: House bill amending the act
as to the appointment of receivers of ma
tionnl banks. house bill to better define
and regulate the rights of aliens to hold
and own real estate in the territories;
house bill for the delivery of letters in
towns and villages by carriers to asso-
Citations of over twenty persons at their

Carson, New, Feb. 25.-George Siler.
who is to referee the Corbett- Fitzsim-

latter at Cooks ranch for the purpose
of chatting with the New Zealander on
the rules, According TO Siler's interpreta

Siler admits, however, that the point is
not brought out clearly and he considers
it good policy to let the contestants them
selves decide whether fighting shall be
permitted during the clinches. This point
has not yet been settled. and it is proba-
bic that the fighters will not agree on
this point for a week or ten days. He
said to Ser that he did not propose to
let COrbett know what style of Fighting
he preferred until within few days of
the fight. He said it was his intention
not to let Corbett know what he thought
of break-away blows and that style of

Washington, Feb. 25.-Thc senate was
storm-swept today 10y snch passionate de-
bate, such extraordinary demonstrations
in the crowded galleries and such
dramatic personal exchanges between the
conspicuous figures Of the senate M to
make the day one Of the most notable in
the annals OF the upper branch Of con-
gresss. Cuba was the theme and seemed
TO stir up emotions of months. II brought
about the complete displacement Of APP
preparation bills, threatening their failure
and advancement Of the Cuban question
TO the very front of senate business. II
showed, also, that the resolution demand
ing Of Spain the immediate and uncon-
ditional release Of Julio Snngui.ly, having
on test vote secured the right of way
would Ike resisted by protracted debate
The Allen resolution for sending battle
ships TO Cuba came up soon after the
session opened ut II o'clock, and Mr..
Allen severely arraigncd Srain for cruel
ties against women and children.
Mr.. Morgan (dcm) of Alabama, who
reported the resolution demanding San
guilly's release, followed in calm
speech, reciting the breach Of treaty
rights In Sanguilly's case.
Mr.. Daniel of Virginia, in fcrvid plea
for Sanguilly, stirred all the latent pas
sion OF the senate, He spoke of Spanish
outrages TO American citizens and insults
to American officials. When Mr.. Hale
Of Maine sought to interjcct questions,
Mr.. Daniel suggcstivcly stated that he
would yield in due time, whether it be-
TO the organ Of the captain general of
Cuba or the queen Of Spain or any one
else.
In view of Mr.. Halc's attitude on the
Cuban question, the meaning was unmis-
taxable, Personal feeling was quieted
however, by mutual explanations. This
was followed by series of explosive in
cidcnts, eliminating with ringing
declaration by Mr. Frye that II he had
his way war ship would start forthwith
for Havana. This gent thrill through
the crowded galleries, which broke into
long continued and vocferous applause,
which the vice president tried vainly to
restrain,
Mr.. Mills cxultantly declared that the
galleries were filed with American citi-
zcns who had light to express their
feelings.
Speeches followed in quick succession
from Mr.. Lodge, Mr.. Teller. Mr. White
and Mr.. Sherman. The latter earnestly
supported the resolution. With the Gu
ban resolution placed directly before the
senate on vote, Mr. White of California
took the floor in opposition, speaking
throughout the afternoon.
AT O'Clock the senate took a recess
until p, III. for continuance of the
debate.

NIGHT SESSION.

The senate galleries were crowded to
their fullest capacity at the night ses-
sion in anticipation of a continuance Of
the excitement occasioned by the Cuban
debate and possibly decisive action.
At 8 o'clock. when business was re-
sumed, only eighteen senators were in
the chamber, hut others came in from
time to time till there was falr attend
ance.
Mr.. Hill secured the passage of bill
to authorize bridge over the st. Law
renee river at Hogansburg, y. Y.
House bill to allow the bottling of dis
titled spirits in bond was passed with
amendments as reported; also senate bill
to prevent the importation of impure tea
and for q government board to fix the
standards Of tea.
Mr.. Pettigrew asked unanimous con-
sent to proceed with the Indian appropria-
ton bill
Mr.. Hill wanted it understood that
this did not displace the Cuban resolu-
ton rs to Julio Sanguilly, which was to
keep its right as unfinished business.
Mr.. Pettigrew assented and the. Indian
bill was taken up. This apparently dis
posed of the Cuban question of the even
ing, and the galleries fast lost interest in
the routine of the Indian bill.
The amendment as to the five civilized
tribes went over. A number of indi-
vdual amendments, mainly of minor
character, were made.
Mr.. Allison gave a final warning shat
appropriation bills would fail unless con-
sidercd continuously from this time for
ward.
Mr.. White said the passage of the Gu
ban resolution would be futile, as 1t
would be consigned to limbo when 1t
reached the hands of the executive, whose
past action foreshadowed veto if any
action was necessary. Why not. there
fore, go on with appropriation bills, which
were really in danger.
Mr. Stewart said that while the people
were calling out against these Spanish
barbarites there were Americans in the
senate if there were not in the White
| House.

| Indian bill during the morning hour was

BECKER's BODY REACHED.

Waco, Tex, Feb. 25.-(Special)-
Workmen employed to dig out the body
of John G. Becker. who lost his life in
the cave-in, reached the body at sunset
this evening, and work was discontinued
until tomorrow.
Justice Bayliss Earle investigated the
particulars of the accident and asccr-
tanned that Mr.. Becker, who was an ar
chitect and builder, volunteered to de-
sccnd into the well to remove obstruc-
tons for the purpose of increasing the
flow of the water. Before going down
into the well, Mr. Becker hung his coat
on the fence. His memorandum books
show that he has been building houses
Mt various points in Texas for the past
year. He leaves many architectural
drawings. some of them original and nos.
scssing great merit.

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The Cuban res
olutions were taken up promptly by the
senate today.
The first resolution coming over from
yesterday was that of Mr.. Allen, asking
the power TO use effective measures to
protect American citizens in Cuba, and
to that end TO send United States war
ships to Cuban ports. Mr. Alien said
American citizens were daily being ar
rested in Cuba and thrown into prison
without any trial, many of them being
denied access to the United States consul
general. IL seemed 10 be the disposition
of Spain TO punish every American citi.
zen in Cuba. Ii was, he said. II story
full of barbarity and atrocity. Recently
lady had been taken by Spanish Off
Gals and her person searched under cir
cumstances of extreme cruelty. Little
girls had been gathered mp in Cuba and
sold into the worst conceivable cruelty;
sold into a life of shame. Spanish sol
diers had taken infants, held them NJ
by their heels, hacked them with the
deadly machette and killed the parents
Such action was blot on civilization
Why should congress remain supinei
The time would come when this inactior

Mr.. Morgan said the committee on for
cign relations would press for the protec
ton of citizens as fast rs the well au
thenticated facts would admit. The re-
ports of atrocities against women ant
little girls were vague aud did not have
notification warranting action by thu
committee. 1t had. however, brough
forward the resolution for the immediate
release of Sanguilly, as the facts in thu
case were established beyond question.
Mr.. Hoar inquired whether some tim,
should not he given senators TO. examine
into the Sanguilly report, as action oil
the subject involved great internationa
considerations.
Mr.. Morgan felt that speedy acton
was essential. He reviewed the circum
stances of Sangully's arrest, long con
finement, proof of his American citizen
ship. his freedom from completely in tn

well known circumstances in the case;
