years.

lenged the statements of Mr.. Proctor
as to the conditions on the island.
Eikins Answers.
Mr.. Proctor-Will the senator ac
cept the statements in the consular
reports?
Mr.. Elkins-Id a thousand times
rather accept your statements, but
there are other men not perhaps so
eminent as the senator from Vermont
who report state of affairs entirely
different from that reported to this
senate.
Mr.. Elkins declared that the United
States ought to take Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippine islands, in order
that we might have some compensa-
ton for our enormous war debt. If
afterwards it was desired to give the
Cubans their independence. he was
willing, as he had always believed
they ought to have it. In conclusion,
Mr.. Elkins paid a high tribute to the
president
Mr.. Clay (Ga.) said he was anxious
to see the question adjusted without
war, for the people of the South did
not want war; but, as war was now
inevitable, he believed in making it
upon the best resolutions offered. These,
he thought, were those submitted by
the minority.
Mr.. Proctor (Vt) replied to some Of
the statements made by Mr.. Elkins.
The latter, he said, had received his
information from Mr.. Atkins, Of Bos-
ton, whose sugar plantations had been
protected by the Spanish troops. He
thought it too late now to talk. War
was upon us and we Ought to meet it
with united front.
Mr.. Pritchard IN. c. contented him
self with announcing, after a brief
eulogy of the president, that he would
support the house resolution
Mr.. Nelson (Minn.) declared that the
question as to the power Of the presi-
dent to recognize the Cuban republic
was irrelevant. Congress had the au-
thority and ought to exercise ito ac-
cept that brave republic as our ally in
the coming war.
Mr.. Perkins (Cal) announced himself
in favor of recognizing the indepen-
dence of the republic Of Cuba. The as
sassination of the sailors of the Maine
was sufficient warrant for us to go to
war.
Mr.. Thurston (Neb), who followed
him, declared his intention to vote to
recognize the republic Of Cuba. He
was a Republican, and he had been
urged by every Republican influence to
vote against the independence resolu-
ton, because it was Of Democratic
origin. But in this matter he was more
than a Republican,; he was an Ameri-
can citizen.

CAFFREY CONSERVATIVE.
The Southern Senator Pleads
Against Hasty Action.

Mr.. Gallery was then recognized.
81 have stood BEFORE" said he, ION
the brink of war. Although young
then, l counseled moderation, but my
opinions were swept to the winds, and
1 was carried along with my people
into the most colossal war in the his
tory of civilized nations.
''Our people We're a unit then. If war
Is to be waged, we ought to be a unit
now But it seems that. whoever dares
to utter a thought in opposition to
hasty or ill-conceived action, subjects
himself to the gibbet in the popular
breast"
Mr. Caffrey then entered upon a dis
cusSiOn of the Cuban situation, declar-
ing that it was manifest that the pow
err of Spain was slowly dying in Cuba
and that her sovereignty without our
interference would be swept from the
island.
Mr.. Caffrey maintained that recogni-
ton was an executive and not a legis-
lative function. 1.-THE adoption by the
senate Of the resolutions reported by
the minority of the foreign relations
committee" he declared, would be to
stultify ourselves, and. the president
would be bound to veto those resolu-
tions.'' - At
Mr. Caffrey, speaking Of recognition
of the insurgents, said States cannot
be made like paper money, in which
counterfeits must necessarily play a
most important part" He thought the
war feeling must be exceedingly strong
to justify the acceptance of a counter
felt, even under the sweep. of patriotism
and enthusiasm. 81 -
Whose fight is ite' he vehemently
asked. ''in which we are: going. to par
ticipate? 1t is not our fight, but a
fight between certain tinsurrectionary
factions in the island Of Cuba and the
Spanish CROWN
He then paid a glowing tribute to
the wisdom, the patiencel and the high
patriotism Of the president.
Even without intervention on our
part, it was the opinion Of Mr. Caffrey
that the island of Cuba would be free,
that in the very nature of things
Spain would have to relinquish her
hold In the Western hemisphere.

THE SUPREME MOMENT.
Hale In Vain Attempts to Stem the
Rising Cuban Tide.

The supreme moment had come Mr..
Hale (Me.), who had been the main
stay Of the opposition to radical ac-
ton on the Cuban question, arose. His
first words sounded a warning. This
action the senate is about to take"
he began, speaking slowly and i'm
pressively, places it in deadlock with
the house and the president of the
United States. 1t is remarkable
spectacle we are presenting to the
civilized world"
But he got no further Mr.. Teller
and Mr.. Wolcott were both on their
feet The latter declared passionately
that Mr.. Hale's statement was most
important. He said as Republican
he demanded to know upon what au-
thority it was made.
II ask the senator whether he Is au-
thorized by the president to declare
that our contemplated action will place
us in deadlock with the PRESIDENT"
Before Mr.. Hale could reply, Mr..
Teller made the point of order that it
was supplementary for a senator to
refer to the action Of the other house
or the president.
The vice president read the rule and
asked Mr.. Hale to proceed in order
The latter said he proposed briefly
to state the reasons for his opening
statement He did not pretend. he
said, to speak by the authority Of the
president or to know in any contin-
gency his future action. "But I do
know, if the motion Of the senator
from Minnesota prevails" he contin-
ued, sit will bring the senate into dead
lock with the president, as hown by
the message h has submitted to u.s."
Mr. Teller again called Mr.. Hale to
order and again the vice president had

utes. every SENATOR who so desired, had
an opportunity to express his views.
Before the voting had actually begun
after Z o'clock tonight-the great speech
Of the day had been made by Mr.. White.
Of California, who has been consistently
and conscientiously opposed to action
of any kind upon the Cuban question.
The speech was a mastery oratorical
effort and attracted profound attention
from every auditor
No less than twenty-five senators
addressed themselves to the momen-
touS question under cOnsIdera ton dur
ing the day, and, while under the rule
elaborate arguments were impossible,
the speeches were characterized by an
imprisoned force and eloquence rare
ly heard in or out Of the halls Of the
American congress.
1t was not until the first vote-that
on the amendment of Mr.. Turpie, Of
Indiana, providing for recognition of
the island republic-had been taken
that the senate was brought face to
face with the tremendous Importance
of its action.
Impressive Scene.
The scene in the chamber of many
BILE impressiveness. The galleries
which had been filled apparently to
their utmost capacity throughout the
day. were massed with brilliantly at
tired women and men distinguished in
all walks of public and private life.
On the floor was every member elect
ed to the senate, save one-Mr. Wall
thall, Of Mississippi, who was again de-
tanned from his seat by serious illness.
So deep was his patriotic interest in
the pending question, however, that he
notified Mr.. Spooner, of Wisconsin,
with whom he was paired, that he
could not deem it fair to hold him to

to an abrupt close. Senator Hale and
several other senators, who were
scheduled to present their views, re-
Trained.
When the bell rang for vote, at ex-
actly 1880 p. M. there was a great
stir in the senate and in the galleries.
Senators came trooping from the
cloak rooms, and the spectators, many
of whom had been in the galleries for
twelve hours, leaned over impatiently.
The first vote was taken upon the
amendment of the minority of the for
eign relations committee, which pro-
vided for the recognition by the United
States of the Republic of Cuba as the

In the semi-circular area back of the
senator's desks were seated and stand
ing men, many of whose names are
household words throughout the length
and breadth of the land. Over all were
floods Of electric light, softened by the
multi-colored glass in which were lined
the coats of arms of the forty-five SOW
ereign states of the Union.
Exciting Close.
1t is no detraction from the brilliancy
of the debate OF the day to note that
the great-the notable utterances-of
the closing hours of debate were made
tonight. Mr.. Hale, of Maine; Mr.. Cor
man, of Maryland, and Mr.. Allison, of
Iowa: Mr.. Aldrich, of Rhode Island;
Mr. Jones, Of Arkansas, and Mr.. Hoar,
Of Massachusetts, all deeply impressed
by the magnitude and possible awful
consequences Of the step about to be
taken, addressed the senate with an
eloquence and solemnity born only Of
the most profound feeling for their
country's welfare. AS the words fell
from their lips the chamber thrilled
with an intensity of interest which Dor
dered upon awe.
The test vote quite naturally was on
the amendment offered by Mr.. Turpie,
recognizing the independence Of the
Cuban republic. 1t prevailed by ma
jority of IA, the vote being 81 to 81.
By political parties the vote was cast
as follows: Years-Republicans. IL:
Democrats. %; Populists, Z; Silver Re
publicans, 5. Nays-Republicans, 80;

alignment Of parties was quite different
from that on the Turpie amendment.

WAR IN A HOTEL LOBBY.
Hotel Clerk Uses Revolver, but
Luckily Does No Harm.

Luckily Does No Harm.
The lobby of the Brunswick hotel
was the scene of a. miniature war
few minutes before IL o'clock Friday
night. Three young men, whose names
could not be learned, thought to end
an evening of revelry by singing a few
popular songs, accompanied by the
hotel piano. AS most of the guests Of
the house had retired. Manager Epley
sent the night clerk, Walter Rutledge,
to the parlor to request the young men
to be quiet. He did SO and they began
to abuse him and threaten him; he re-
turned to the desk and in few
minutes the party came down from the
parlor and renewed their threats to
whip the clerk. Meantime he had taken
a revolver from behind the desk, and
on crossing the lobby later one of the
offenders took him by the coat collar
and began to choke him. Rutledge
warned him to stop and when one Of
the other disturbers came to the aid
of his friend. the clerk drew his weapon
and fired. The ball, 32-caliber, struck
one Of his assailants in the left breast,
but only penetrated the clothing, strik-
ing a suspender buckle. When the
shirt was unbuttoned the ball fell to
floor.

on the other hand, had declared em@
phatically against it.
He said the present Cuban republic
was but a skeleton government and unSJ
der the forms prescribed might With
entire propriety in it's own good timel
enter into a convention with Spain to-
the exclusion of the United States
He argued that the republic of Cubat
should be recognized by treaty the in4'
itiative to be taken by the president
as Is his lawful right, thereby making
case for ourselves that the nations
Of the world could not question.
He outlined the disagreement prob<:
able between the two houses and
guardedly limited at the conference
which would be necessary and from
Which would come a resolution, upon
which the representatives Of all parties
could unite and which in the light of
history now making would stand the
assaults Of international law,
Mr.. Aldrich Or. L. said while he could
not vote for resolution embodying
recognition of independence, he believ.,
ed that in some way, somehow reso-
luton would, during the next forty
eight hours, be presented that would
be satisfactory to the president, the
congress and the people.
In reply to Mr.. Aldrich and to others
who had just spoken, Mr.. Jones (Ark.)
declared that it was the wish of large
majority of congress and the people
that the resolution adopted should rec
ognize the Cuban republics independ-
ence and the events leading up to the
present situation fully justified the
friends of independence in assuming
the position they had taken. The pres
ident had disappointed the people by
not saying he intended the independ-
ence of Cuba.

SCHUYLER H. MATTSON DIES
SUDDENLY
Business Interests of the Mill City
- Shooting ARRAY Resulting
From Little Innocent Amuse-
- ers.

Schuyler H. Mattison, an old resident
of this city, and one of the oldest in
habitantS of the state, died at his home
1fol Third avenue south, at 8 o'clock
Friday evening of heart failure His
friends had known for some time that
he was falling, but none expected the
end to come so soon. None but the
members of the family was present at
the death bed. \ peaceful and quiet
ending of a long, honorable and sue
cessful life.
This pioneer was born in Bennington
VT, March IS, 1907, which made him
at death more than ninety-one years
old. He was married to Miss Mary e.
Overton, in the city of New York, Feb
Is. 1S4S. In 1851 he came to Minneapolis
and has been one of it's best known
residents ever since.
Few men have done more in the way
of furthering the real estate interests
of the city than Mr.. Mattison All the
years of his life here he has bought
and sold real property, and his name
will appear more times on the records,
perhaps, than any other. At one time
he owned the entire block on which
the West hotel now stands, and he re-
peatedly offered it for sale at 81 900:
later he built his home on the corner
now occupied by the hotel, and it was
not till recent years that the house WIS
removed. He laid out Mattison's first,
second and third additions to the city,
properties bounded by Fifth and
Eighth avenues and Seventh and Tenth
streets. Through him First avenue was
: graded, and he laid out Third avenue
south.
His work, however, was not confined
to real estate. He owned at different
times stock in many banks, and various
other enterprises, and himself handled
commercial paper and other securities
In his early years Of residence in the
city he held several minor offices. Be-
fore the city was organized as a city
he was town supervisor, and late in
the COS and in the early '7Os he was a
member of the board of aldermen
In September. 1894, Mr.. Mattison was
thrown from his carriage during a run
away and sustained a serious injury
In one of his hips. On account of it
he was never afterward able to leave
his home, and most of the time was
confined to his room, but his mind re-
= manned clear to the last.

loren Fletcher Will support the Hen
neptn County Man.

An interesting development in the guber-
material fight so far as Hennepin county is
concerned, has come to light in letter writ
ten by Congressman Loren Fletcher to At
torney c. L. Smith, OF this city. Mr.. Smith
is a strong Eusts man, and wrote to Mr..
Fletcher requesting him to state his position
in the fight as between Eustis and Van SAINT.
Following is that portion of Mr.. Fletcher S
letter relating to that query:
Il note what you have to say about my
support of Mr.. Eust;s. l have always told
Mr.. Eugtis that if there was no other can
didate in Hennepin county except himself,
he would have my support. At that time
there was talk Of ]. T. Wyman's being the
candidate. II we had had two candidates,
both friends of mine. l should have taken
no part between them. Now Mr.. Wyman
is out Of the way. 1 am for Eustis.

In the same letter Mr.. Fletcher makes the
statement that in taking this position he does
not stand sponsor for the attitude of his
friends, and that he does not intend to be
understood as speaking for them in any man
ner whatever
