A Member of the Canadian Parli0-
ment Speaks for Spain.
Montreal. May 31.-In the Senate debate
at Ottawa last night an incidental re-
mark about the war drew forth a fiery
pro-Spanish speech from Senator Belle
rose.
In putting a question as to whether the
Government has taken steps to secure the
Hundredth Royal Canadian Regiment for
Canada, Senator Boulton remarked that
the readiness of the British Empire for
war was the surest guarantee of the peace
of the world. II the United States had
been more prepared for the present Span
ish-American war there would have been
no war at all. for Spain would not have
attempted resistance.
This brought Senator Bellerose to his
feet, with the hot rejoinder that even If
the United States had had a navy with
power equal to that of Great Britain,
Spain would not have submitted to injus-
tice. He said Spain would not submit un-
til forced to do SO. A nation might be
beaten but still retain its honor. He be-
lieved that Spain would have fought any
power rather than tamely submit to the
action of the United States, which he said
ternational usage. If this Monroe doc
tTine was TO be acknowledged then Cana
da's time might soon come.
The members of the government paid
no attention to the outburst.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Bill to Maintain Life Saving Sta
tions During the Summer

The proceedings of the House yesterday
were brief and uninteresting. There was
another rush of members to the front with
pet measures for consideration by unani-
nous consent. The Speaker distributed
his favors of recognition about equally be-
tween the two sides and some half dozen
private bills were passed.
A concurrent resolution directing the
commission recently appointed to codify
the criminal and penal laws of the United
States to also codify the laws for the
district of Alaska, was adopted
Mr.. Mann of Illinois called UP a Joint
resolution directing that the life saving
stations along the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts be kept in operation during the
months of June and July of the current
year.
He explained that the life saving sta
tions are practically suspended during the
months of June and July of each year.
but owing to the Importance of maintain
ing a continual picket line and signal
service along the coasts during the exist
ing war the Secretary wants authority
to keep four men-about half the usual
force-employed during the coming two
months. The estimated cost Is S11l009
The bill was taken up for considera ton.
Letters from the Secretary of the Navy
and the Secretary of the Treasury were
read, stating that the life-savfng stations
must be operated in order to maintain the
system of prompt and rapid communica-
ton along the coast and with the Navy
Department.
The bill was passed without a dissent
ing vote and at 1:35 p. m. the House ad-
journed until noon today

The subject of Admiral Dewey's victory

Mr. White-I beg to correct the senator
from Massachusetts, If he thinks l have

today or at any other time.
Mr.. LODGE am glad the senator is so
full of courage.
Mr.. White-That does not require very
much courage
Mr. LODGE was beginning to speak OF
the Asiatic squadron.
'At the end of April that squadron was
ordered to destroy or capture the Span
ish fleet. Admiral Dewey descended on
Manila and swept the Spanish fleet out OF
existence.
This action was so brilliant in its con-
ception and complete in its execution
and results as to be one of the great
naval battles of the century. We have
to go back as far as Trafalgar to find one
more brilliant in execution There he
was sent by the orders of the President
TO make this attack. A wise attack, Mr.
President, for it is not the only necessity
in war to defend. The attack on Spain s
most valuable possession was the quick
There, then. was the American ad-
miral with his victorious fleet and Ma
Mia helpless under his guns. 1t is all
important to support him. If anything
should befall Admiral Dewey, if adverse
fortune should come to him and TO his
fleet after his great Victory, the Ameri-
can people would never forgive the Ad-
ministration or the Congress. They would
feel as the English people felt at the
death of Gordon.

sent warship. the Charleston. to Manila

''One of the best of American generals
has been appointed to command.
All these things are wise Mr.. Presi-
dent. and pave the way TO permanent
peace
But. Mr.. President. I may stand alone
in my conception, but / believe and have
believed from the beginning that Admiral
Dewey and his fleet are in real and special
danger despite the distance"
Mr.. Turpie: ~ have listened to these
remarks for some time. and 1 do not think
they are such remarks as ought 10 be
made public. and I move that the Senate
proceed 20 secret legislative session"
The Vice President: rs there a sec
ond? There is. The sergeant
will clear the galleries.
The session lasted three hours.
Immediately after the Senate resumed
open session, Mr. Elkihs took the floor
and pleaded for the exemption Of rail-
roads in the hands of receivers from
special taxes, stating that railroads in
general were having a hard time, but
these bankrupt roads were especially op-
pressed.
Mr.. Elkins then turned his attention 70
the currency question and declared that
greenbacks were the most expensive cur
rency. He thought we should encourage
the increase of territory.
At the conclusion of Mr. Elkins's speech
Mr.. Chandler gave notice that he wished
to speak on the bill today.
The Senate then went into another ex-
ecutive session. and adjourned 10 meet at
