question Of adjournment came up again.
Mr.. Allen declared that he was not in
favor of taking an adjournment or recess
until vote had been taken on this ques-
ton. There was absolutely no reason, he
said. why action should be delayed
further.
I'VE have reached the peculiar period
in this session." said Mr.. Allen. when the
eyes OF the entire world are turned upon
us 1t is more than an ordinary session.
and are we to adjourn simply as a matter
of convenience and to give an opportunity
to patch up broken lines on this question?
Let US go on and come to a vote at once
AT this juncture the Nice-President laid
before the Senate the House resolution
on this question.
Mr.. Davis moved that it be laid on the
table. which action was taken.
Mr.. Wellington moved that the Senate
adjourn until II o'clock today. This mo-
tion was amended so as to make the
the motion lost by vote of 80 to 32
Senator's Want to Talk.
1t was then suggested that Mr.. Davis
ascertain the number of senator's who
desired to speak on the subject and
also make an arrangement in regard to
limiting such speeches as to time.
Mr. Carter suggested that such an
agreement could be made immediately
II understand" said he, there are
twenty-three senators on the list to
speak. At least one-half of that number
stated that if an agreement could be
reached whereby a vote can be taken
they would gladly forego the desire they
had to be heard.
This subject has been debated here
for the past three years and we have
insisted that action should be taken else
where. That action has now been taken.
and we seem to be the only obstruction
in the way of final action 1t seems to
me but proper that arrangements for
voting should be made now
Mr.. Carroll: Why try what is impossi-
BILE? When they all get through talking
We will vote.
Mr.. Carter: That will take until next
week. 1t seems to me that the country
requires that we act rather than talk
on this matter.
This statement was met with a burst
of applause from the floor and galleries.
Mr.. Carter continuing said:
This little exhibition of applause in
the galleries is but an indication of the
general feeling of the people" (Ap-
plauseD
Mr. Gray; 1 arise to make a point of
order. The gentleman is talking to the
galleries. and that is against the rules
of the Senate.
Mr. Pettus said he wanted to inform
the senator from Delaware that the ap-
plause was started on the floor of the
Senate
Mr. Mason: I started that applause.
Mr. Allison then urged that the Senate
adjourn until 10 o'clock today.
This motion was carried by a vote of

and vital moment, in the history of our
country, remain silent, and content my
self by voting to vindicate the position
which I think my country should occupy
in presenting her case and asserting her
rights before the civilized world.
II am not here. sir, to govern my pub
lie action by a mere suspicion as to what
may or may not be the intention of
others. The saying that partisan politics
ceases at the shore line is a pregnant
one. We are here today Amrican citi-
zens. l do not believe any one here will
maneuver to support a partisan advan-
tage.
"I am here to support the American
President"
Mr. Daniel asked if Mr.. Gray believed
| that the resolution before the Senate rep
resented the wishes of the President
Mr.. Gray replied that he believed it was
his duty to support the resolutions before
supporting the President
Mr.. Gray declared that he wanted to
| put the case of his country upon high
grounds.
why have we spent millions in patrol
| ing our coast to prevent supplies from
| going to Cuba?
1T was because our conscience is too
| high to allow us TO violate international
| law Now, circumstances have arisen
| that we cannot ignore.
II liken the action that is proposed by
| this country now as the action of a law
abiding citizen who has a disorderly
neighbor who beats and misuses his fam
| ily That law-abding citizen endures 1t
| for a time, but at last he commands, in
| the name of humanity, that his neighbor
| desist and he is applauded by all of his
| law-abiding neighbors. That is our atti-
| tude and all the nations will applaud u.s.
We have nothing to do here with the
| Monroe doctrine. 1t does not affect in
| the least the case.
Our action is demanded because we
cannot longer endure the outrages now
going on in Cuba.
| Immediately at the conclusion of Mr..
| Gray's speech, at 40 o'clock, Mr.. Davis
| tried to effect an agreement on a time to
vote. He said that he thought the time
| had come for him to make an appeal
| to the Senate in the interests of the
| eXigencies of this case and of those who
are starving TO death in the island OF
| Cuba while the debate was going on here,
| to fix time for the close of debate.
Il now ask the unanimous consent that
when the Senate adjOurns today, that it
| shall be until tomorrow at II o'clock, and
that vote be taken at o'clock tomor-
row afternoon"
Mr. Allen-Why not vote now?
Mr.. Davis-I then ask unanimous con-
| sent that the vote be taken now.
| Mr. White-There are some senators
| here who would like the privilege of say
| ing few words on this momentous ques-
| ton. and therefore / object.
Mr. Davis-I then renew my first re-
| quest
| To Limit the Speeches.
Mr. Teller proposed that the speeches
be limited in length. Mr.. Caffery objected
! to this.
Mr.. Pasco suggested the chairman move
that during the last four hours of debate
the speeches be limited TO ten or fifteen
| minutes each.
This proposition was objected TO by Mr.,
| Daniel.
Mr.. Davis-I then ask that a vote be
taken tomorrow night at O'Clock.

CONDITION OF MIR. BAYARD.
End Of q Great Career 10
Not Far on.

Dedham, Mass. Sept s.-The condi.
ton of Thomas f. Bayard former am
bassador to England, who is st Karl
stein, the home of his daughter, Mrs
Warren, was critical yesterday. So
pronounced had been the change the
past two or three days that it was
thought the patient would not survive
many days.
Mr.. Bayard came to Karlstein, the
summer home of Mr.. and Mrs. s. E.
Warren, about three weeks ago. His
health was not good. and during the
first two weeks it did not improve. A
week ago q change came which ap
peared to be gradual breaking up OF
the system, combined with kidney
trouble.
At first it was not thought likely
that his case would prove serious. al
though it as admitted by those in at.
tendance that the end of a great career
was not far off. The extreme heat OF
the past few days had a depressing eff
feet upon the patient, and on Friday
anxiety was keenly felt. "A consulta.
ton of physicians was held. Late on
Friday favorable turn was noted, but
Saturday the change was for the worse.
Yesterday he was semi-conscious, with
fair pulse.

THE OLIVETTE SUNK.
The Hospital Ship OlIvette Sent to tho
Bottom by Some Mysterious Agency
at Fernandina, Fla.

Fernandina, Fla, Sept. 1.-The hos
pital ship Oliyette, which has been w.
ing near the quarantine station,
through some mysterious agency, sank
about 1880 a. m. Aboard of the ship
was the hospital corps of 35 and a
crew of As persons, all of whom es-
capped without injury, but in scanty at
tire.
The roustabouts sleeping in the
lower hold had narrow escape, being
driven from their hunks like so many
rats. Fortunately for those on board
there was a schooner near by, and
some of them took shelter on her
while others sought refuge at the
quarantine station.
The Olivette went down in about 80
feet of water, her main deck being
submerged. No one apparently knows
how the calamity could have occurred,
and as no investigation has yet been
made the matter remains a mystery.
Vessels in the harbor will probably
pump her out if such a thing is posi-
