l once got rather curious confession

One day l met him in Union square.
"How's business?" l asked. He was

After little preliminary skirmish-

those reported by the minority. There
ought to be time and opportunity for those
of us who think the minority resolution the
wiser to point out to the house and to the
country the reasons for our belief. And
yet know as well as the members on that
side that these resolutions, involving the
question of peace or war; are to be rushed
through this body with short and insuni-
Client debate and that too, when every man
in the country knows that nothing can be
done until the senate acts and you know
that the senate will act with proper delib-

have action at last without discussion than
to have the practice of the last twelve
months allowing ample discussion and no
decision" (Applause.)

as ready to decide it, we are as ready to
take our responsibility with gentlemen on
the other side and we invite you TO cal. the

Johnson's Protest
At this point johnson. Republican. of In
diana, stoutly protested against cutting off
members of the house. He entreated Hen

move the previous question until other
gentlemen have had the right to be heard"
Henderson declined to yield, but he grant,
ed a few minutes to McMiliin, Democrat.
of Tennessee, member of the committee
on rules.
McMillin said the most momentous ques-
tion that had confronted the American
people since the close of the great civil war
confronts us today and he did not agree
with the sentiment which seemed to be
strong on the other side that there ought
not to be candid and ample presentation
of the great question to the representatives
of the American people and through the
American people. (Applause on Democrat-
ic side.
If we had recognized the independence Of
the republic of Cuba long ago, he contend-

we would have been free from obligations.

FIGHTING BOB" EVANS, CAPTAIN OF THE INDIANA

Now Mr.. Speaker, what excuse are we
going to give the American people for
hasty action in this matter? The resolution
of the majority does not propose to recog-
nize the republic Of Cuba and the resolution
of the minority does. The resolution Of the
majority does not force the president to
send our army and navy to back up this
action Immediately; the resolution of the
minority does. They differ as the poles
differ, and their differences ought to be
shown and the representatives here CIV
en- an opportunity to show which one of
the resolutions best accomplished the work
to be performed.
You heard the presidents message. You
know the spirit it breathed. You know the
indecision that characterized it. You
know that there was no free Cuba in it and
yet you propose to turn over TO him the
army and navy and give him discretion 10
fight or not TO fight, as he pleases. So far
as 1 am concerned. and believe I represent
the members on this side of the house, We
are not only in favor of free Cuba, but We
intend that the president shall not stand in
the way of that freedom" cloud ap-
pause on Democratic side.)
Bailey Criticised
Mr.. Henderson, In closing the debate
criticised severely the position taken by
Mr. Bailey. He has presented singular
spectacle here today. He has attempted
again and again to force action in this
house on his own statement, under any cir
Gums tances, on any bill, and at any time
And now he pleads for time because the
senate is going to deliberate, and urges
that as an argument, and winds up by
wanting us to call the roll inv. I regard
the attempt 10 make partisanship out of
this great national question as unw!se
(cries of oh on the Democratic side)
when he attacks the chief executive and
the Republican party for dereliction in the
care that had been taken in making con-
tracts with every powder manufactory in
the country preparing shot and shell tc
overcome the difficulties that have been
forced upon the country In the past by false
policy; he is unjust to the country, he is
unjust to himself to the party, to the
president. We have examined with care
the great dangers that confront us. We
have weighed, as has the president, with
brain and heart, the whole question, and
all that confronts the country in settling
the great problem. That has been done
wisely, and IL done wisely and well, It lie

IN THE SENATE
The Day Given to Debate on Cuban
Affairs

Iue LAY 0lteA u 0cpaIc VA SuUdn
Affairs
WASHINGTON, April 13.-War between
two powerful nations was the sole topic Of
discussion in the senate today.
Such excitement, suppressed though 1t
was, such a feeling that the country wGS
on the verge of events that would make
history for all time to come; such eloquent
and impassioned oratory, and such keen
and brilliant repartee have not been known
in the senate since the days when the
country was convulsed in the greatest war
of modern times
Notwithstanding the throng in the GAL
leries, that semicircular chamber was al
most as silent as If it had been deserted.
Conversation was conducted in low whis-
pers.
A full quarter of an hour before the SEN
ate was convened Mr. Davis, chairman of
the foreign relations committee, entered
the chamber and quietly went to his seat
in the center of the Republican side. He
carefully placed on his desk bulky pack
age, which all intuitivey knew to be the
fateful resolution and report from his COM
mittee on which peace or war might hang.
the senate chamber filled very rapidly and
when the vice-president's gavel fell nearly
every senator was at his desk. Scarcely
five minutes had elapsed after the session
convened before the vice-president recog-
nized Mr.. Davis. An instant hush fell over
the chamber. Mr.. Davis presented to the
senate the resolutions and report from his
committee and requested that they be read.
the report was terrific arraignment of
Spain and her policy, yet SO eager were all
to hear every word that not the slightest
demonstration occurred throughout the
reading.
Following the presentation OF the REPORT
and after Hoar of Massachusetts, had in

Mr.. Pierce of Missouri. and they almost
came to blows. All this time the gavel of
the speaker was heard above the awful
noise, and his voice was calling the SER
geant-at-arms to restore or6er. Armed
with the great silver mace, the emblem Of
authority of the house, Colonel Russell.
the sergeant-at-arms repeatedly charged
the thick mass of struggling members, but
was as often swept aside, One of the other
employees, Griffin Halstead, a son of Murat
Halstead, while attempting to pacify Mr..
Brumm, was felled by blow on the jaw.
At last, by the efforts of a dozen muscular
members, the belligerents were separated,
the angry legislators retired to their seats
and a semblance of order was restored. Ii
is one of the most disgraceful scenes Wit
messed in the house in many years
What He Asked
Mr. Bailey said: THAT i asked only what
was reasonable will be testified to by the
gentleman from Maine (Mr. Dingley) be-
cause after the unseemly occurrence, which
came more nearly disgracing the house Of
representatives than any act which has
occurred during my membership in this
body, the gentleman's own sense of fair
ness compelled him to ask the house to do
precisely only what 1 asked for in the be-
ginning I did not intend to Interfere with
the immediate consideration of the resolu-
ton but | wanted the country to under
stand that" (derisve laughter and jeers
on Republican side)
A member-"Don't pay any attention to
him."
Mr.. Bailey-"Mr. Speaker, l believe will
not disgrace myself by commenting on
such behavior as that. applause on the
Republican side) I am gratified to know"
continued Mr.. Bailey, that after fifteen
months of delay and suspense it has at last
daWned upon the Republican majority of
the house that the time for action has ar
rived. (Applause on the Democratic side.)
For more than a year we have been en-
treating you to take some action. And it is
at least some satisfaction that you have
resolved at last, not to heed our appeal, but
to heed your angry constituents at home.
(Applause) But true to your policy and
your traditions You have resolved when at
last you are compelled to act that you will
deny to members of this body the oppor-
tunity to discuss your conduct.
'"There Is a radical difference between the
resolutions reported by the majority and

here for action. and I want to say thas'
with scarcely a dissenting voice. We are
ready for the roll call In this house, zap

lent In his denunciation Of this enort 10
stifie debate and not allow q ''remonstrance
against this unnecessary war into which
the country was to be plunged" that the
speaker had to appeal to the sergeant-ai-
arms to compel him to take his seas.
The rule was then adopted. and the resolu-
tions were again presented, together w'th
those Of the minority report, which was 70

yielded to Mr.. Dinsmore (DemocraD OF

Mr.. Dinsmore said he regretted as much
as any other man on the floor could the
manifestation Of partisan feeling ana par
tisanship that had occurred during the
afternoon. ut appears to me, sir, salo
he, 'that If there was ever period In the
history of this government when patriot'c
dignity should have been shown and paru-

craftsmanship. that period is now" GRO
longed applause on Democratic side.)
In conclusion, he urged that the minority
resolution be substituted.
The Debate Closed
Mr.. Adams, as the acting chairman OF
the committee, closed the debate.
The vote was then taken on the substi-

Resolution Adopted
The vote was then taken on the adoption
of the majority resolutions. and they were
adopted, 322 to 10. The names of the
Democrats as they voted for the resolu'

The nay votes were cast as follows:
