Cheeseborough would not agree with him, as he thought a petition a very grave matter. T can get every man in town to sign peti- tion to hang you," Smith said, and at once went at it. lin an hour or two he returned with a petition signed Ey nearly every prominent citizen in town, reciting that P. Cheeseborough was a very undesirable citizen, and should be publicly hanged. MT. Cheesborough was really an excellent man, and Smith had obtained the signatures without telling what his petition was about. MT. Cheeseborough was broken hearted until remonstrance was circulated, and was signed by the same men who signed the original petition.

After the debate in the Senate had con-
tinued for eight hours yesterday an effort
was made to reach an agreement to begin
the vote upon all Of the pending resolu-
lions relating to the Cuban question at z
o'clock this evening, and in the confused
colloquy among senators there was made
manifest for the first time a disposition to
filibuster.
Mr.. Caffery Ga.), although disclaiming
any intention to delay action unduly, OBJ
jected to any agreement to the fixing of a
time to vote. The debate then proceeded,
hit In few minutes Mr.. Wellington (Md.)
entered a motion to adjourn. This was
defeated by the decisive vote of 81 to 10.
The emphatic manner in which the decision
was reached indicated a determination on
the part Of those senators who desired i'm

Senate to remain In continuous session

posed OF or until an agreement had been

DEFENSE OF SPAIN.

There Was No Need TO Enforce the
RaIe Against Applause.
Mr.. Weliington's speech was listened 10
with apparent interest by all the senators
on the floor, there being a general feeling
that no one could tell to what extent the
Maryland senator would go In his defense
OF Spain In her course in Cuba. Toward the
conclusion Of his speech, which was a de-
Tense OF Spanish methods throughout, Mr..
Wellington launched upon a grand perora-
ton on the splendid history of the people of
his state in UNFOLDING liberty, and wound
up with the declaration that the American
PEOPLE were united as one people for the
defense of liberty and self-government for
all peoples OF the world.
Contrasting this conclusion with the sena-
tors defense of Spanish methods in Cuba
caused smile to play on the faces OF many
OF those who listened to him.
Senator Chandler was sitting but a few
feet from the Marylander while the latter
spoke and was the first to rise TO con-
graduate him. though on what was a mys-
