 Insistancs.
 MT. Davis then moved that the sen- ate insist on it's amendment to the house resolution and that the president of the senate appoint three conferees. "Let that motion be divided" demand ed MT. Daniel. From the democratic side of the chamber came such express sions as We don't want a conference" Lets settle this question right now while we are at it." etc.
 Hale Speaks.
 MT. Hale said that he had never known in his long experience in the senate, when the two houses were at odds, committee of conference to be order that the differences between the two houses might be adjusted and an agreement reached satisfactory to both without inf1ammatory speeches on the floor of either branch. He maintained that it was the duty of the senate to appoint conferees to assemble in sol emn conclave in an endeavor to ad- just the differences between the two branches of congress. After briefly discussing the parliamentary status of the resolutions MT. Hale said that there was an evident determination here in the senate upon the part of the temporary majority to dragoon everybody into its way of thinking.
 The proposition for conference was to be voted down, he declared, and those in temporary majority who had been demanding immediate action would have to take the responsibility for any delay that migh now occur. He believed the stern arbitrament of war would soon be upon us. While the temporary majority here could now control the situation the whole coun- try would understand that that ma jority was preventing definite action upon the momentous question at issue, simply by standing out for the recogni- tion of the independence of the Cuban republic, recognition which all of the great lawyers of the senate inclding MT. Morgan of Alabama, had consist ently and ably opposed. We are in favor of speedy action," declared MT. Hale, because we believe the time for action has now come and we are pre- pared to submit the question of differ ence between the two houses to con- ference''
 Vote to Insist.
 Without division the first part of MT. Davis motion, insisting upon the sen ate amendment, was passed. MT. Ald- rich of Rhode Island briefly addressing the senate, said he had never known during his service such a course as was being proposed by the majority to be insisted upon and he thought the senators in favor of that course ought to give some reason for the position they had taken. In reply MT. Jones of Arkansas maintained that it was the part of the house to request that a conference committee be appointed and thus far the house had not asked for a conference.

 The consideration of the sundry civil bill was then resumed, MT. Gal fingers amendment to the use of steam presses in the bureau of engrav- ing and printing being agreed to. Dur ing the consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill, MT. Allen took the floor to say that MT. Hale had been
 
 had said that the change of front on the part of certain senators on the Cuban question had been due to the presence in the city of Hon. William J.. Bryan. He had interviews with MT. Bryan read to show that MT. Bryan had supported all the movements made looking to the advancement of the American cause in the Cuban situation.
