POLICY OF EXPANSION DEBATED.
Eoar Delivers a Speech Declaring Against
the Idea of Colonies.

Washington. Jan. i0.-Yesterday was
an interesting day in the senate. the
principal subject under discussion be-
ing the constitutional right Of the Unit
cd States to carry into effect the policy
of expansion. The leading speaker was
HCar. who delivered a speech in sup
port of the resolution introduced by
Vest declaring it to be in opposition to
the constitution for this country to ac-
quirc foreign territory to be governed
permanently colonies. Although
Hoar occupied the time OF the senate
for more than two hours he was ac-
corded the unusual compliment of close
and undivided attention by his col
leagues on the floor and n large audi
ence in the galleries.
He confined himself closely to his
manuscript. but his address was deliv-
cred with all the fire. earnostness and
animation OF the orator that he is. Hear
is a master of the subtleties of the Eng
lish language and 4 rhetOriCian Of nota-
b!e ability. and his keen sarcasm and
wit were thoroughly enjoyed by his
auditors His speech was in answer to
that recently delivered by Platt of Con-
necticu.. and had ben most carefully
prevarcd He took strong ground
against the position assumed by the
Connecticut senator, maintaining tha.
il was in violation OF the constitution
ard the declaration of Independence
the great cxpounder OF The Constitu-
tion"-for this country to acquire for
eiEn territory to be held and governed
as colonies.
The central ideas Of Hoar's argumeE.
were in brief as follows:
The powers not delegated to the
United States by the constitution, nor
prohibited hy il TO the states. are re-
served 10 the states. respectively, or TO
the people.
The sovereignty which can be exer-
cised by the nation rs n unit is only
that which is necessary for accomplish
ing the purpose OF the ccIStitut, on. and
must be either expressly granted there
in or necessary or convenient. in the
Judgment OF congress, to accomplish the
purposes expressly declared therein.
All other sovereignty is reserved to
the states OF to che people.
The power TO conquer alien peoples
and hold them in subjuCation is no
where expressly granted
The power to conquer alien peoples
and hold them in subjUgation IS no
where implied as necessary for the &C
conpIishment OF the purposes declared
by the constitution.

iiaG power 70 acquire ana govern for
eign territory. and declared that had
this country embraced the doctrine of
Hoar the Mayfiower would have been
turned back from Plymouth Rock and
the country never would have expanded
to the Pacific coast.
During his reply Platt said that Hoar
had misrepresented his statements. He
then read from his own speech a para
graph showing that he had held il to
be the duty of this country to provide
for acquired territory a most liberal
and enlightened system Of government
"a government in accord with the spir-
1t of the declaration of Independence
and of the constitution.
Cafery concluded his speech in op-
position to the Nicaragua canal bill, but
an effort to fix a time for a vote upon
il failed.

Havana, Jan. 14-The Cubans are
greatly incensed over the action Of the
United States government in making
the Bank Of Spain the fiscal agent OF
the United States in the collection OF
taxes, as under Spanish rule No great

Cubans than this. The Bank Of Spain
was the instrument used for years tu
wrest unjust taxes from them. 1t is
the most unpopular institution on the
