TILLMAN AND HOAR.
Consideration of the postoffice appropria-
ton bill was resumed. but Mr.. Tillman in a
brief speech declared the voting down of
the resolution was "a cowardly trucking
to British influence
Mr.. Hoar. replying. said: mo man has
a more hearty admiration for the Boer re-
publics or a greater sympathy for their
gallant fight than have. It's the best fight
ing done on this planet since Thermopylae,
and no fighting has been done in a holier
cause. But this is diplomatic mission.
Under our Constitution and customs the
function of recog .lizng and receiving dipio-
matte agents belongs primarily to the
President. If we admit to the floor of the
Senate gentlemen in their official capacity
we are extending them recognition by the
Senate as representatives of a government
not recognized by the President"
Does not the Senate believe, inquired
Mr.. Tillman. that it's the hypnotizing in
fiuence which has brought on our war OF
conquest, the disgracetul attitude which
we occupy In the eyes of the world and has
paralyzed the honest American love OF free
dom and of Patriotism
II am bound to say" replied Mr.. Hoar,
that / think the attitude of the country
with reference to the people of the Philip
pines has throttled and stified the express
sion Of sympathy which ought TO go out TO
the Boer republics.
The amendment of Mr.. Lodge for the APP
preparation of $225, 900 to carry out existing
contracts for the pneumatic tube service,
the service not to be extended until Con-
gress had taken further action, was then
agreed to-3S to 20-as was a committee
amendment directing the postmaster gen.
eral to make an investigation of the pneu-
matte tube service and report to Congress
whether it would be advisable to continue
the service as at present, discontinue. 1t or
have 1T acquired by the government.
The bill was passed after another EFFORT
ton for mail transportation had been de-
feated-16 to 80.
Mr. Morgan moved to proceed to the
consideration of the Nicaraguran bill.
This would have displaced the present I'M
finished business. Mr.. Morgan's motion
was defeated-21 to 2S-as follows:
