who desire to precipitate us again into
a bootless. war.
Does the gentleman contend that, If
tne treaty fails, we will be at war with
TENN.
4 do" replied Mr.. Grosvenor. "a
truce now exists. The failure Of the
treaty would leave us exactly where
we were the day before the protocol
was signed
Mr.. Carmack recalled the fact that
the treaty with Mexico was not adopt
ed as it was sent TO the senate, and he
tried TO force from the gentleman from
Ohio the statement that the failure of
the treaty would be followed by a re-
sumption Of hostilities He contended
that Spain would accept any terms we
made.
Mr.. Grosvenor claimed there was no
authority for such a statement, and
charged that the death of every volun-
teer soldier, who would be mustered out
the moment the treaty would be rati-
fed, should be laid at the door of those
who contributed to the defeat OF the
treaty.
A LIVELY EXCHANGE.
1.-THE death of every soldier in the
Philippines henceforth," declared Mr..
Carmacl1, will be laid at the doors of
those who are now prosecuting the war
against the Philippines" Democratic
applause.)
How would you meet the situation?"
I would sail away from Manila and
never look back" (Renewed Demo-
cratic aDDlause)
And all the world would brand you
as a. coward retorted Mr. Cirosvenor,
TO the accompaniment of a burst of Re
publican applause.
The brand should go on the back of
the administration" declared MIR. Car

of the people Of the Philippine islands,"

Grosvenor that has always upheld

'I thought the party belonged to

Mr.. GrosVenor, not noticing the inter
ruption, that has never pulled down
the flag Of liberty"
You contend, then" said Mr. Car
mack sarcastically, that the liberty of
those islands was due to the Repub-
lican party and that the Republican
party proposes to collect that liberty
and own it?"

IMPALED BY LEWIS.
Mr.. Lewis replied to Mr.. Grosvenor
IN a twenty minute speech He con-
vulsed the Democrats with laughter at /
the expense of the veteran OhiOan, and
repeatedly drew from them rounds of
applause He referred to Mr.. Grosvenor
as the security of liberty and the de-
fender of the honor of his country. He /
did not wonder at the applause Mr..
Grosvenor's speech had evoked from
his colleagues. 1t had been made many
times, and was entitled to recognition
on account of its antiquity. But he
said, Mr.. Grosvenor had now appeared
in a new role. He had undertaken to
warn the United States senate Of its
duty and to portray the terrible blood
shed and devastation which would fol-
low its failure to act in accordance
with his ideas. The United States SEN
ate had been solemnly warned that if
it did not ratify the treaty, it would
hear from the gentleman from Ohio
again.
In concluding, Mr.. Lewis expressed
his regret that the service of so dis
and able an advocate should
always be enlisted on the side of those
who, in time Of peace, under the plea
Of patriotism, asked bounties and free
gifts, but who, in time of the national
peril and stress, took advantage Of the
necessities.
Mr.. GrOsvenor declined to make an
extended reply to the gentleman from
