JOu -NuGlUEE we speak OF hot lli6 ClNlilLd-
ton of the Nazarene is upon US; whether
you sleep bound hand and foot by the rules
or order or whether you shall speak ike
american brave men, the march OF the
Nazarene is upon US: liberty shall prevail
and the island of Cuba under the provi-
dence of God shall be free"
HOAR REPLIES TO MASON.
Mr.. Hoar replied to Mr.. Mason. He re-
ferred to the speech which had preceded as
"exuberant oratory," and said sarcastically
that, Notwithstanding it, the power of inter-
national law would prevail The only effect
of recognition would be to give Spain the
right to search our ships at sea and take
away from American citizens in Cuba all
hope of recompense for injury done them
He alluded sarcasticaly to Mr. Mason's
innocent and youthful ardor."
Thereupon Mr.; Mason asked him: viii
the senator yield for question?
Six of them, replied Mr.. Hoar, SEEM
ingly in an angry mood.
Are you willing to have vote on this
question: Mr.. Mason querried.
I expect to have one, was the answer
win you help to get one?" Mr.. Mason
persisted
II expect to help to get more intelH-
gent one than some of the senators seem to
want, Mr.. Hoar replied. Then he proceed
ed TO express surprise that all this great
brass band of talk about outrages on wom-
en- and children practiced at our doors
should be followed by this squ yea ing
position, Mr.. Hoar declared: Whereas, our
ancestors loved liberty, and whereas, we
are the greatest nation on earth and sim
liar Whereases and remarked, pathetically,
when we are the greatest nation we Will
step talking about it. No great nation brags
of it." He continued: Whereas, we are
not afraid of any nation on earth, we Will
say to Mrs. Spain: We are not afraid or
you, and if your mobs destroy the property
of our citizens Wen not ask damages for
The Senate he said should ask the Pres
ident to use his good offices with Spain to
secure peace and the independence of Cuba,
and that was what the Republican platform
proposed He would have the facts round
as court found them before entering Judg-
ment, and would then say 10 Spain. We
have found such and such facts, on which
we propose to act, and II you DON stop
that war we'll stop it,, and he would not
stand in the Senate and brag and sputter.
Mr.. Hoar said with some feeling, that
he supposed he was one Of the barnacleS"
to whom Mr.. Mason had referred, and spoke
of the reckless introduction of resolutions
based on idle reports. ~ am SICK t OF S snls
ate" declared Mr.. Hoar. Il think IL Is
disgraceful. The senator (Mason) wants to
put down a war with Spain, and he would
put it down with a mosquito-a mosquito OF
much buzz and very little sting.
"A New Jersey mosquito querled MT.
Mason, gayly amid laughter.
SPEECHES FOR BUNCOMBE."
Mr.. Hoar closed with the somewhat con-
temptuous remark that he believed little
could be accomplished for Cuba by
speeches for buncombe or for Chicago, to
be followed by no practical or sensible
action
Mr.. GaIIinger expressed surprise that SEN
ators should be accused of speaking for the
applause of the galleries and of furnishing
buncombe for constituents. These senators
had sought for months TO secure consldera-
ton of a Cuban resolution, Dut ndu Deen
cut off by tilibustering Methods
Mr.. Haze earnestly protested against TINS
reference to tiIibustering. he gave in de-
toll ha ffr71n advocates
and the opponents of the pending resolu-
ton, showing that most Of the speeches
had come from those favorable to the reSo-
luton. I'm view of this. proceeded Mr..
Hale, lit is the height OF audacity and I'M
pudence-'
Mr.. Gallinger, who still held the floor,
declined to yield further. Then l with
draw the 1mpudence, proceeded Mr.:
Hale 1t was at least sort of colossal
Mr.. Gallinger peremptorily declined to
yield further. He criticised the course OF
senators who accused their associates Of
audacity and cheek whenever they had
anything to say in behalf of Cuba.
Later Mr.. Hale stated that there would
be no unnecessary delay on the resolution.
After fair discussion 1t would be voted on.
He was as anxious as any one, he said, to
see the resolution out of the way.
Mr.. Hawley spoke briefly, and in the
course of his remarks question arose as
to the neutrality laws. Mr.. Hoar en-
Mason made jocular remark IN a stage
whisper which started several senator's
laughing. Turning to Mr.. Mason, Mr..
Hoar said IF this is to be a circus of
course will go down.
If the senator from Massachusetts I'M
dderstands, he Is a circus ne does Sf, not un-
Mr.. Burrows then secured the floor for
a speech, but as it was 4:15 p. m. he yielded
for an executive session.
