THE SENATE a STORM CENTER.
washington, April 1.-THE action of
the House of Representatives yester
day in adopting its declaration upon
the Hispano- American situation made
the Senate TO-DAY the storm center OF
the war elements. The galleries were
packed and thousands We're turned
away.
Hale (Me.) presented a memorial from
the National Civic club of Brooklyn,
calling attention to the necessity in
the event Of war with Spain Of repeal
Ing some Of the present navigation
laws. The laws, as they are at pres
ent, II said, would prevent our mer-
chant vessels from sailing under a
foreign flag. while every Spanish
merchantman would be under the
French flag.
our ships would therefore be preyed
upon by Spanish privateers.
Hale said the question raised was
most serious one. He thought 1t would
be Notifying and humillating to this
country for It's vessels engaged in
a.
country than our own. He asked that
the memorial be referred to the COM
mlttee on commerce. which he hoped
would give 1t thoughtful consideration.

gram from Philadelphia which read as

az Davis, chairman of the foreign re-
lntions committee, the resolution yes
terday reported by the foreign rela-
tlons committee was laid before the

Turner (wash.) began a speech In
which he sharply criticised the adj
mlnistratlOn for the vacillating and ir-
resolute, cowardly and pusillanimous
policy pursued by 1t In the Cuban
question, He said the developments of
the past two weeks had shaken his
faith in those who held the Presidents
ear and confidence.
NATION WILL BE SHAMED.
Mr.. Turner declared himself strong
" In favor Of the resolution presented
by the minority of the committee on
foreign relations. and for so doing he
needed no further justification than the
magnificent state paper which accom-
panied the minority report. He declared
however that the same malevolent
influences which have paralyzed the eX-
ecutive and almost caused the people
to revolt, Were still at work. II these
influences should succeed. the whole
country would know the disgraceful
story and the nation would be shamed
Mr.. Turner maintained that Congress
could not delegate to the President the
power to make war.
The Congress OF the United States Is
the organized conscience of the coun-
ny said ne and 1t is the only power
Nhat can take the dread step of war"
