New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-04-20

use the land and naval forces Of the
2United States to execute the purpose Of
this resolution.
In the Senate.
The struggle in the senate was q battle
royal.
For a moment itgbordeIed on sceLe,
similar to that which disgraced The house
proceedings, but it was for moment
only. Time honored senatorial dignity
came to the rescue.
Arrayed against each other IN the three
days debate were the oratorical giants Of
tile upper house on one side Foraker,
Wolcott, Cullom, Mason, Daniel, Davis,
-Tulpie, Lodge and Thurston: on the 9th
er side, Hale, Burrows, White Haw-
ley, Hoar, Spooner and Wellington, with
Hanna and Elkins as hackers.
The credit for the adoption of the res
olutions in the form which recognizes
the independence Of Cuba is SAID to be
due to the brilliant boldness of Senator
Foraker of Ohio.
His victory over the Hanna Elkins
policy, as given to congress through the
president, was complete.
1t only remains for the house to en-
dorse it. That done, the president will
never dare to interpose his veto.
The debate as whole was brilliant.
The speeches were not only eloquent or
atorical efforts, but they constituted at
the same time a careful and thorough
presentation of all the facts and argu.
ments for and against the step that was
about to be taken. ,.,.
The conduct of Senator Davis through
out all the excitement was that of a
calm, conservative and able statesman.
The vote on the resolutions, when
taken by parties, is interesting. g..
On the adoption of the Turpie amend
ment to the Davis resolutions, the
amendment which recognizes the Repub-
lie of Cuba as the true and lawful gov
government of the island, the vote was
as follows: Yeas-republicans II; dem
ocrats, 90; populists Z; silver republi-
cans, 5. Nay-republicans, 80; demo-
Gratis, j.. -" T.:
On the final vote, whereby the resolu-
tons as eiven below, were adopted, the
alignment of parties was somewhat
changed. In favor of the resolutions
where "a republicans, 81 democrats, 7
populists and silver republicans; OPP
posed were 10 re publicans and 2 demo-
Gratis.
The resolutions, which were thus
passed by avote of 67 to 21, are as fol-
lows:

representatives of the United States of
America in congress assemblies:
