w AS SdlNGION, u. u, Feb. 26.-The
Senate had the Indian appropriation bill
before it to-day throughout the session.
, but. that fact did not prevent Cuba and
the Sanguilly case from being fought over
even in more angry and excited manner
than 1t had been yesterday. At the very
opening Frye Or. of Maine referred to the
dispatch announcing Sanguilly's release
to-day, and deprecated further discussion
or the matter, saying that for his part he
did not believe in wasting powder simply
>. for the purpose of making a noise.
The Sanguilly resolution having been
. sent 10 the calendar, two other resolutions
as to victims OF Spanish cruelty were
: offered, one by Morgan CD of Alabama,
in The case of George Washington Aguirre,
and one by Call in relation 10 the suicide
or murde" of DR.. Ricardo Ruiz. AS to
Aguirre, there were some comments upon
his baptismal name, Morgan assuming that
1t gave to Aguirre an additional claim
Upon. American sympathy, and Lindsay
(D:) OF Kentucky, insisting that his sur
render, under proclamation of amnesty,
was an un-George Washington act.
a letter from Ethan Allen of New York,
vouching for the young man, was read,
and Hoar was led in jocose mood to in
quire, with on air of gravity, whether
that was the Ethan Allen of the Revolu-
tion: Morgan said that he was the grand
son of the revolutionary hero, and another
Senator added the information that he
=. vas the president of the Cuban Junta of
New York.
The storm broke out again through the
Sanguily matter, and White CD of Cali
fornia and Lodge (R.) of Massachusetts,
had some delicate sparring, in which
White spoke ironically of Lodge as one of
the great men of the world, and as know
ing more about the Spanish pronun citation
than all other Spanish scholars known.
This was provoked by Lodges sneering at
White for pronouncing Julio" as
"Huleo."
Lodge retaliated by imputine envy to
the California Senator because his long
speech yesterday had not enthused the
galleries.
Hale (R.) OF Maine appealed to the
Senators to lay aside all extraneous dis
..cussion and contine themselves to the
business of appropriation bills for the six
remaining days of the session, saying that
he expected the Senate to sit on Sunday.
He was cruelty ridiculed by Morgan
and told that he ought to start out on a
: regular tour of lecturing if he could find
lot of school children for his audience.
The Alabama Senator was in a very un-
.cohciliatory mood. He refused angriIy
e and with every mark Of disrespect 10 per-
. nit either Senators Hoar or Hale to inter
ject a remark into his speech, but he re-
served his bitterest words for President
. Cleveland, who he described contemptu-
ously as having been down on his
hunkers'' praying Spain to release San
gully; also as ''sIuggard sleeping and
snoring when Americans suffered"
Morgan was on the floor over an hour.
After he resumed his seat the bitterness
. faded out of the debate. Instead of It
q there was witty passage between Sena-
tors Daniel (D.) of Virginia and Gray (D.)
OF Delaware.
When the former used the Spanish
word 'incommunicado" Gray assumed
ignorance Of its meaning and said he did
not talk Spanish. With pleasant and
gracious smile Daniel excused himself
and SAID that he thought that the Senator
from Delaware had just been talking very
good Spanish.
This polite response, with its unex-
pressed but well-understood meaning,
provoked an outburst OF laughter on the
floor and in the galleries, which were
crowded all the day.
In the pleasanter turn which the dis
cussion had thus taken the Cuban ques-
ton was permitted to subside and the
'actuar consideration of the Indian appro-
priatlon bill was resumed.
The bill had not been passed when. at
o o'clock, q recess was taken until
7:3O P. NJ.
The House bill to prevent trespassing
upon anq providing for the protection of
= National military parks was the first mat
ter taken up In the Senate, and passed
with an amendment.
Hill Cd of New York asked unanimous
consent TO have an executive session at 3
o'clock this afternoon.
Frye (R.) OF Maine-I object.
Hill give notice so that no one NAV
be taken by surprise that at 8 o'clock in
the afternoon l will make that motion.
Quay (R.) OF Pennsylvania asked unan.
imous consent to take up and con.
slider the substitute for the labor commis-
sion bill.
Hale (R. of Maine-That is very inn.
portant matter and will give rise TO de-
bate. l must object.
At Quay's suggestion the substitute was
read. 1t provides a commission of five
Senator'S, five Representatives aad nine
others to be appointed by the President
to investigate questions pertaining to i'm
migration, labor, agriculture. mining. and
business, and 10 report to Congress such
legislation as it may deem best. The total
cost is not TO exceed $4,000 year.
THAT is gigantic scheme" Hale said,
"for building up great set of officehold-
ers at the rate of $4,000 year. L OBJ
ject."
At 11:15 the Indian appropriation bill
was taken up with the understanding that
at l P. NJ. the Sanguilly Cuban joint reso-
luton would come up as the unfinished
business.
The pending question was the commit
