was precipitatcd in the senate yesterday

feated by a vote of SO to q, but not until
after sharp controversy between its au-
thor and Mr.. Davis, chairman Of the
committee on foreign relations. Mr.. AL
len maintained that the resolution was in
line with presidents, while Mr.. Davis
contended that in the peculiar circum-

action that might be considered recog-
milton of the Boer diplomats until the
president, who alone had the power to re-
ceive diplomatic representatives, had TAX

minion. If such arrangement is to
be the result, 1t is a great pity it
could not have been accomplished
without such great sacrifice Of
lite and treasure. 1t would have
been much wiser for the Bocrs to
have made the best terms possible
and saved much bloodsbed After
having made such a gallant fight,
it is shame they should be so
greatly humlated. English rule,
however, may prove blessing and
good to the people generally may
result.
