WARM WORDS IN SENATE
Continued from Page I.

when this was granted he asked that
the resolution in regard to the seating
of. Hon. NJ. S. Quay as n Senator from
Pennsylvania be taken up. saying that
he was satisfied that there were Sena-
tors who We're seeking an opportunity
to so delay the resolution as to render
it impossible to secure Il vote during
the present SESSION. He continued by
saying that while other important
matters were demanding attention the
fact must not be lost sight OF that
the great State of Pennsylvania was
being deprived of its just right OF two
votes upon the floor of the Senate.
The question must DC decided in the
high tribunals OF the consciences OF
Senator's or upon the low plane Of poll
tics which had in the past character
lied such proceedings AS he took his
seat Mr.. Penrose cast his eyes in the
direction of Mr.. Gallinger, asking that
time be fixed for a vote and re-
marked:
4 CHALLENGE.
II look snuarely at those who arc
creating these Obstacles"
MIR. Gallingcr rose and stated quietly
that he had been trying for six days to
get an opportunity to speak in OPPOSE
ton to the Quay resolution, but had
been prevented by other business. lie
still desired to speak and he knew
many other Senators who wished to be
heard
no this statement Mr.. Penrtse re-
Piled that Mr.. Gallinger hal told him
that he did not expect to talk on the
Quay matter. ''IIc may nave changed
his mind" Mr.. Penrosc continued, hut
he most emphatically then told me that
he would not speak,"
Mr.. Gallinger was on his feet before
MIR. Penrose concluded. 81 assert most
cmnhatically," he said. that when the
senator says I told him should not
speak on this subject lie does not state
the truth" He went on to say that
Mr. Penrose had como to him In an
''lmpcrious way" and asked him
Whether he intended tn ask to be heard
and that he (Gallingcr) had told him
N'cnrose) that he was not entirely de-
cidcd rs TO whether he would speak or
not
81 don't know whether do not speak
tho truth. or whether the Senator from
New hampshire failed to tell the
truth" was Mr. Penrose's response, but
he was, he said. very confident of his
position.
TO this Mr.. Gailinger replied that 1t
was humanity and beneath his notice"

BOER SYMPATHIzERS
New York. March 15.-There was a

Cooper Union tonight, at which George
NJ. NnnHoesen presided. Montagu
White. the Boer representatives: John
l.. A1ilholland and p. Louter Vessels.
representative of the Orange Free
State. made speeches. Mr.. VanHoesen
professed that mot until all the Beers
are in their grave or all the English
are in fight will the war be over"
President McIkinley's name was
Kissed and hooted and the mention OF
Bryan's name brought forth cheers.
Mr.. White made the references to
Mr.. Bryan that were cheered. Another
remark of his that was enthusiasticallv
checred was:
II hope the day may be far distant
when there is in reality a case of hands
across the sea'-to stihe the life and in
dependence of America"
Referring to his interview with ra-
gard to the probable destruction of
Johannesburg by the Beers, he said:
"A nation making war cannot provide
drawing-room for it's enemy. The
Beers would neither have lost or gain
ed by the destruction of Rloemfontein.
but the case of Johannesburg is differ,
ent, as it would provide splendid bar
rack accommodations for the British
and by reason of it's location and other
advantage an invaluable base for oDer
ations."
Mr. Vessels charged England with
supplying the natives with gums to use
against the Dutch with classifying sur
veys in order 10 gain possession OF dia-
mond fields; With misusing the natives
and Beers, and with other reprehen-
sible things. He concluded with an
appeal that America intervene to stop
hioodShed, and reiterated the statement
that the European nations would have
interviewed If they had but known how
the United States would stand
No resolutions were offered at the
meeting.

SALISBURY'S ARG UMENT.
Pretoria, Wednesday, March a.
State Secretary Reitz's REPUTATION of
Lord Salisbury's arguments in the re-
ply to the Bloemfontein note was is
sued to-day. Mr.. Reitz says:
THE British government. after the
Bloemfontein conference, cndeavored
TO enforce by threats certain changes
in the internal government of the
Transvaal republic. contrary to the
London convention. They also import
ed troops in great numbers and broke
OFF negotiations with a threat to take
their own means to remove the griev-
ances of their subjects.
'After waiting n fortnight, while an
army corps was prepared and the re-
serves were being called out by the
son of these proceedings. Sir Alfred
Miner refused to reply.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Chamberlain. in his
speeches, showed the world that Eng
land had decided on war. Accordingly
the Transvaal republic addressed to
the British government n demand for
the withdrawal of these troops, as 9TH
erwise it would accept the presence of
the troons as n declaration OF war.
That was not necessarily intended as
message of war;
Concerning the armaments, Mr. Reitz
says:
"Thesc were bought openly in Eng
land and in Europe. and the High Com.
missioner boasted full knowledge OF
them at tho Bloemfontein conference.
and also full descriptions of those arm
aments were found among the officers
papers at Dundee.
Both the army and the ultimatum
were protective measures. subsequent
to the raid. and to the discovery,
through concealed cables. that British
Cabinet Ministers were IMPLICATED in
the attempt to filch away the indepen-

protect the foreigners are to be over
come by the element at the Chinese
court which is favorable to the Boxers.
ATTITUDE OF UNITED STATES.
The attitude OF tho United States
goveTylmer,t respecting the Boxer
troubles having been misrepresented IN
certain quarters IT can be Stated au-
thoritatively that up to this point not
the first step has been taken toward
sending any troops from General Mac
Arthur's army in the Philippines to
China. 1t was decided last week that
none OF the troops could be spared, if
wanted. and that none woul be
spared for such 81 purpose in the pres
ent aspect of the Chinese trouble.
Mr.. Co niger asked for further in
strucuons. and was directed to proceed
with energy in the protection OF the
American legation and the lives of the
American citizens in China. He was
warned. however. not to be n party to
any alliance or combination of
