SENATORS IN TEARS.

Dc PORTRAYED by Thurston.

Statesmen Weep Over Cuba's Woes
a. Portrayed by Thurston.
A scene, dramatic in the intensity Of it's
interest, was presented in the national
senate Thursday during the delivery by
Senator Thurston of Nebraska Of a speech
on the Cuban situation. His first sentence,
in which he said he spoke-4.by command
of silent lips"-a delicate and touching
reference to the loss of his wife on
his memorable trip to Cuba-com-
manded instant attention. Mrs. Thurs
toms dying request of her husband
was that lie should lose no time on ac-
count of her death to do his utmost to save
and free Cuba and its people. In Accord
ance with this request, therefore, Senator
Thurston sacrificed his personal feelings
and delivered his Speech speech that
was his tribute to the memory of his wife.
The speech was very generally regarded
as a mastery effort, and wen those who
could not agree with his conclusions con-
coded the power of his Grafton. As he
neared the end of his speech his voice,
which had been clear and ringing, notice.
ably broke. He was almost overcome by
emotion, but rallied with an effort and
closed in a manner that thrilled his au-
ditors. Staid and dignifed senator's
turned away and wept and In the CALLER
les tears welled to hundreds of eyes. It
was a remarkable scene and the stiffness
until the last word had been pronounced
was as of death itself.
AS Senator Thurston sank into his seat
and buried his face in his hands the CALLER
les were swept by such q tumult of APP
plause as has not in a long time been heard
in the senate chamber. AS a brother
might have done, Senator Allen, Senator
Thurston's colleague from Nebraska,
walked to him and placing his arm over
his shoulders quietly led him from the
chamber. The act was nj of the spon-
taneous and touching amenities among the
turbulence and discord of political life.
