In the senate the scene was vastly

was read by the clerk. there was slight
ripple Of applause. and then one by one
the Senators answered aye as their

Big with political significance In u ra-

promising war TO the jingoes, without
promising peace TO the stock markor,
without conceding anything on the cur
