| go out of power" He hoped the Re
publican party would rescue the country
from it's despised position before ths
nations of the world.
Il approve the statement of the SEN
ator (Frye) that aship should be sent tc
Cuban waters. 1 would send every shiI
we've got l would not count dollars
beside American citizenship. l would
make every power in the world respect
American citizenship if it took all the
men and all the power this country has
Mr.. Allen then made stroke which
added a new surprise to the situation
He moved to lay aside the Indian bill
which was technically before the sem
ate, and proceed with the Sanguilly res
olution. He did so, he said, to make a
direct issue between the protection OF
American citizens on the one hand and
the appropriation bills on the other.
Mr.. Hill asked for the ayes and nays,
| saying a record vote was desirable. The
roll call was followed with intense in
terest and when the motion prevailed
| ayes 40, nays 27-there was a distinct
| sensation throughout the chamber.
The vote to resume consideration of
the Cuban resolution was as follows:
Yeas-Allen Bacon. Berry. blackburn,
Blanchard, Brown, Butler. Call, Gamer
on, Cannon, Carter. Chandler. Daniel,
Davis Dubois, Gallinger. Hansbrough.
| HILL Jones of Nevada, Kenny, Lindsay,
Lodge, Mantle Martin. Mills. Morgan,

son, German. Gray Hale. Hawley. Hoar
Jones of Arkansas, Mcmillan, Mitchell

! all, Sherman and Wetmore-27.
| Mr.. White of California took the floor
| and argued that the resolution. if passed,
| would never see daylight. Hill inter
rupted to express the hope that the pas
| sage of the resolution would at least
have a moral effect on the next admins
tration.
Il differ from the senator from New
York" said White land l hope the
chairman of the foreign relations COM
mittee (Sherman) will not be forced TO
carry into his policy as secretary of
state the views which he has announced
in this report"
Continuing Mr.. White criticised the
effort to have this important question
considered at a time when the appro-
priations bills were pressing. and de-
clared that as much as he was interested
in the appropria ton bills he would not
be foreclosed from expressing his opin-
ion on the Cuban question as presented
under the pending resolution. He said
Mr.. Sherman would soon assume the
responsibility for the conduct of the
state department, and he could well af-
ford to wait until that time.
This brought Mr. Sherman to his feet
He replied with spirit, complaining that
he should not be dragged into the de-
bate, which he did not want to enter.
He said the Sanguily resolution COM
manded his approval as he felt that
Sanguilly had been made the subject of
almost barbarous injustice.
L say, therefore," he said, that Mr..
Sanguilly's right should be respected
and guarded by the United States, but
am not in favor of debating the reso-
luton at this time when it is standing
in the way of appropriation bills"
He had agreed to the reporting by
Mr.. Morgan of the resolution, and he
had voted against its consideration
when it antagonized the appropriation
BILL and he saw no Inconsistency in
this course. But this feeling on his part
that the appropriation bills should be
provided for could not prevent hin,
from entering his protest against vio-
lence and wrong, and he trusted that
the time would never come when he
could see a man robbed of his rights as
protest. He wouli not, if he could pre-
vent it, see Sanguilly driven to the point
of suicide as another American citi-
zen in Cuba seemed to have been.
II am" he said, "in conclusion, op-
posed to tyranny and wrong wherever
encountered and 1 should stand by
Sanguilly if I stood alone"
I'VE are all" responded Mr.. White,
opposed to tyranny and wrong, but we
differ a the for
recting them" He said that some
seemed disposed to correct all wrongs
by talking about them. Referring to Mr.
reference to the fact that Mr..
Morgan had reported their resolution
Mr.. White said Mr. Sherman could not
escape the responsibility for the course
pursued.
Mr. Sherman's course might be con-
sistent, in the senator's opinion, but in
his mind 1t was far from consistent.
Mr. White then entered upon techni-
cal legal argument to show that the ex
ercise OF diplomatic functions belonged
exclusively to the executive department,
which matter constituted the main part
of his speech.
At $50 pm, while Mr.. White was
still speaking. Mr.. Allison asked that
unanimous consent be given for re-
cess from to o'clock the appropria-
ton bills to be considered at the night
session.
Mr.. Hill objected, remarking: "W'
might as we'll go on and conclude this
question"
Then Mr.. Allison asked for an agree
ment for a recess from to 8 without
condition as to the appropriation bills.
This was agreed to
Mr.. White gave way temporarily to
allow several minor bills to be con-
sidered. The following bills were pass
ed: House bill amending the act as to
the appointment of receivers of ma
tional banks; house bills to better de-
fine and regulate the rights of aliens to
hold and own real estate in the terri
tories house bill for the delivery of let
ters in towns and villages by carriers
to associations of over twenty persons,
at their own expense.
AT o'clock the senate took recess
until p. m.
THE NIGHT SESSION

sion in anticipation of continuance
