Il was IN inspiriug-a historic scene,
and one rarely witnessed even in this
country Of great and notable Assem-.
blages. In such circumstances it is not
surprising that the brilliant orators
who addressed the senate rose to aud
even surpassed their best previous ef-
forts. The occasion, the surroundings,
the momentous subject under discus
sion-war with it, awful consequences
INSPIRED them. "
The debate, beginning at the unusu.
ally carly hour Of 10 O'Clock, continued
until far into the night, and yet the
thronoa ramainsd ~ il held under
some spsu. During tho day speeches
were delivered by Messrs. Cullom
(1lls.), Berry (Ark.), Daniel (Va.),
Tillman q. o., Wolcott (Colo).
spooper (Wis.), Chiffon (Tex.). Teller
(Colo.) and Stewart (Nev.).~ All the
deliverances were characterized by
brilliance and eloquence, but it is no
detraction from the efforts OF any man
to say the notable utterances were
made by Messrs. Woloott, Daniel and
Spooner. Mr.. Daniel carried aloft the
flag Of recognition Of the
. Csbe. Republiss Independence,
while both, Mr.. Woloott aud Mr..
spooner supported the policy Of the
president and tho foreign relations
committee In favor Of armed interven.
don with ultimate independence. The
argument Of Mr.. Spooner was ex.
haust,ve. profound and brilliant. Amid
all, tho talk, however, it 10 not apparent
that . single vots on the Maine ques'
don has bsen changed. The minds Of
senators .ars made up ~ clearly ~ il
Amsrics's casa against Spain.
A Sensational incident, not really
growing ont. Of the debate upon the
pending question. occurred during the
evening. , In . personal squabble; over
tho recent trip made BY Mr.. Money

Wellington (Md.), Mr.. Wellington
