Washington, April 15.-The gallerie,
were thronged this morning when thu
senate met at 10 o'clock 1t was the ex
pressed intention of Chairman Davis Il
| endeavor to force continuous session
until the pending resolutions are dis
posed Of. The vice president had be
fore him list Ofr23 senators who de
sired to speak.
Mr.. Cullom Qlls.) said that Spaiu'.
and that vengeance must be taken by
the American people in the interests OF
humanity. Mr.. Cullom declared that
the Maine disaster was an act of "de-
liberate and atrocious murder" He
made an extended argument for i'm
mediate action, paying high tribute to
President Mckinley.
Mr. Berry Ark was recognized after
Mr. Cullom's speech. He wanted to
vote for the resolution offered by Mr..
Turpie, which recognizes the independ.
ence of the present republic of Cuba
but said: 'Whatever resolution is
adopted will be found supporting the
hands of the president. With an i'm.
passioned outburst, he pledged the
south to loyalty to the flag.
Mr.. Daniel (Va.) was next recognized.
His opening sentences were: ''We
stand upon the edge of war. This ma
tion is one with the sword in it's hand.
and if the word which now hestates
upon it's lips be spoken and the com
mand Forward be given upon some
proud day the stars and stripes will be
waving over Moro castle and Cuban
mas prison." Mr. Daniel said he was
content neither with the house resou-
ton nor the senate committees resolu-
tion. "In my judgment" said he, ''our
first step should be to write on our
statute books the recognition of the
great Cuban republic, which has won a
place among the Independent nations by
its own valient sword"
Mr.. Gray replied briefly to Mr.. Daniel,
saying his only object was to secure a
united front in the present emergency.
He thought there should be hearty CO.
operation between congress and the
president. Mr.. Gray said there was no
justification for Mr.. Daniels insinuating
that the presidents supporters desired
to send the American army to Cuba to
aid in suppressing General Gomez. Mr..
Gray said he wanted truce between
the political parties until the crisis had
passed. Mr.. Tillman said there would
be- war whenever resolution was
adopted, but this was no reason for the
president not saying candidly what he
meant to do.
NJ yAolcot. announced his intention
to vote for the resolution and resente6a
the aspersions upon the president.
Mr.. Morgan gave notice that he would
move to lay upon the table any and all
to the Cuban resolutions as
fast as they were presented.
Mr.. Spooner, the next speaker, also
deprecated the reflections upon the
character of the president.
No Vote Today.
The prospects now are that there will
be no vote in the senate today. There
will be night session, perhaps lasting
well into the evening. An attempt will
be made to reach an agreement tomor-
row, but there is little hope of success.
Warm Time In the House.
In the house, rising to personal ex-
PLANTATION, Mr.. Bailey said the speaker
was responsible for the late scene in the
house. Hot words passed between him
md Mr.. Dalzell, (Pa.) who alleged Mr..
Bailey had, as the papers stated, lost
nis head. Mr. Bailey responded angrily
that gentlemen, when insulted and
,alled liars, were charged with having
ost their heads if they resented it. He
,aid he would infinitely prefer to lose
lis head in resenting an insult than to
ose self respect in submitting to one.
