 Voice Trembling With Emotion.
 Then, with a voice trembling with emotion, his head slowly shaking as the words came forth, he told how a captain of company of infantry or ganized in the same town in which he was born, went forth in the morning of the revolution to hold the bridge at Concord and said that he was in the same position as that captain was. Realizing the tremendous responsibil- ities of his high office, he thought that whatever was done should be done with an eye single to the situation. He said he was born in a cold latitude and con- sequently might look upon things in somewhat different light and then, with hand raised, and amid profound stiffness in the senate chamber he made this significant remark: eff this country is to do great act of interna- tional justice let us do it calmly and deliberately"
 Attacks Upon President III Advised.
 Senator Hoar argued that the at Jacks upon the president were ill-ad- vised and most ill-timed; that instead of condemnation of the policy of the executive the country and the congress should commend the president in his efforts making for peace, so long as peace could be had with honor Then after paying a tribute to the president the senator said that the men who suffered by modern wars were not the men who provoked them, and that the men who reaped the benefits from wars were a few officers and the stock job bers. Tt is not the Weylers, the Sa- gastas, the Blancos, who realize the horrors of war;" he said, but the poor peasants, taken away from home and drafted, the widow whose stay is talk en away, that suffer most. War may be necessary now, but I am not pre- pared to believe it.'' He then remark ed that he could not agree with the as Sertion that war was needed once in a while as a purifying force. He said that war meant the addition of untold millions to the public debt of the coun- try, the piling up of pensions mountain high, and would bring woe and desola- tion to thousands of homes.
 McKinley's Sublime Self Restraint.
 q like and thank the president of the United States for his sublime self restraint in this emergency and for holding back so far as he could the step towards war" continued Senator Hoar. Those who love and stand by him need not be disturbed that the brilliance of his fame will be diminish ed in the view of our posterity by his action at this time" MT. Hoar said that the name of Mckinley would be linked with other actions of notable self-restraint which had characterized the American people in other momen- tous hours. Have we forge tten," said he, ''that the same kind of objurgation and contumely was hurled at the head of Washington when he held back the people from another war with Eng land?"
 Recollec lions.
 The senator from Washington, MT. Hoar thought, had forgotten this fact, prominently historic though it was, that John Adams as president had sent to France commissioners to negotiate peaceful solution of pending critical questions, and that while that action had cost Adams the reelection, it had left him with a brilliant fame. "I am old enough said MT. Hoar, ''to re- member some of these tempests of pop ular excitement in congress and out of it. Some of the senators here remem- Der the cry of "On to Richmond!" "On to Richmond" and the charges of i'm potence and cowardice which were heaped upon Abraham Lincoln. Some of us on this side of the chamber wish we might forget Bull Run" MT. Hoar recalled the fact that he had entered the house during the ten years war in Cuba. He added sententiously that in those days the members did not throw books at each other and call each oth- CT liars. He recalled the tremendous pressure that was brought upon Presi- dent Grant to take drastic action in the then pending Cuban question, and re- garded the self-restraint with which Grant at that time conducted himself one of his strongest claims to fame.
 "As I Grow old and Thin BIooded."
 "As I grow old and thin blooded" said MT. Hoar, T like to read the stories of these sublime self-re- straints." MT. Hoar said he could not agree with the impression taken by MT. Foraker that recognition of belli- gerency year ago or even two years ago would have averted serious trouble between Spain and United States. That recognition would have given Spain the right to search our ships and he did not believe it would have done the in- surgents the slightest good. MT. Hoar referred to the quotation yesterday by MT. Lodge from the poet James Rus sell Lowell in relation to the civil war, and MT. Hoar called his colleagues at- tention to the fact that the people had not taken at that time the advice of MT Lowell but instead had taken that
