One Of the Martyrs Whose Blood
Is the Seed Of Liberty.
THE STATESMANS ROLL-CALL
Dramatic Effect Produced by Faneled Ans.
wsp Of the Republics Great Men on
the Question Of Retaining
the Philippines.

WASHINGTON. April 11.--For more
than three hours today Hoar, the SEN
ior senator from Massachusetts, oe-
cupled the attention Of the senate with
speech IN opposition TO the policy Of
'imperlalism upon which he main
tained this government had embarked.
As prepared, his address was 5000
words in length. but Hoar omitted
much Of II. owing to an incipient at
tack Of the grippe. from which he was
suffering
The speech was brilliantly written.
was illuminated with splendid rhetor-
icsl figures, and was rich with citations
from history. One OF the notable parts
Of the address was a eulogy Of Aguin-
aldo.
One Of the most sffective parts Of
the speech was his fancied roll-call
OF some OF the distinguished states
men OF the United States on the ques-
ton OF the retention Of the Philippines.
He began with George Washington
and closed vita William Mckinley,
each in a sentence giving the reason
for his vote. Every vote was in the
negative. except that Of Aaron Burr,
VINO voted yes. and said; You are
repeating my buccaneering expedition
down the Mississippi am to be vindi-
Gated at last"
When the name of William Mckinley
was called. he replied for the president;
There Gas been a cloud before my
vision for the moment, but / see clear
ly now: | go back to what said two
years ago, 'forcibie annexation is Grim
inal aggression: governments derive
their Just powers from the consent Of
the governed. not of some Of them. but
Of all OF them 1 Will stand with the
fathers Of this republic; 1 will stand
with the founders Of the republican
party"
The effect was dramatic.
As Hoar pronounced his peroration,
the stiffness in the chamber was in
tense
Senator Hoar made an earnest and
vigorous defense of the Fillpinos, es-
pecially Of Aguinaldo, who. he dcolar-
ed, was brave, honest and patriotic.
In the course of his eulogy Of Aguln-
aldo. he said;
He deserves 10 be remembered with
that small band who have given life
and everything dearer than life to
their country IN losing cause. He
shall live with KOssuth. with Dom
Poul, with Joubert, with Emmett,
with Egmont and Horn, with Nathan
Hale, with Warren, with all the great
martyrs OF history whose blood has
been the seed of the cause Of liberty"
As one bit of proof of their state
craft he declared:
The state papers Of Aguinaldo, the
discussion Of the laws OF nations by
his attorney general, the mastery ap-
peal of Mabini, are products of the
Asiatic mind. They ore not unworthy
of the Asiatic mind-vehicle, through
which came to us the scriptures of old
and the new testaments, the poetry
Of David the eloquence of Isaiah, the
wisdom OF Solomon and the profound
philosophy OF Paul.

MUST COME TO TIME.
Turkey Will not Be Trined With on
the Indemnity Claim Longer

NEW YORK, April 17.-A special to
the Times from Washington, says:
State department officials viii not
talk for publication about the dispute
between the United States and Turkey
over the failure Of the latter country
to pay the indemnity for the destruc-
tion Of the American missionary prop
erty during the riots Of 1895, except
to deny that there has been any sus-
pension Of diplomatic relations. While
Minister Strauss is In this country for
an apparently indefinite stay. we have
charge d'affaires in Turkey and dip
lomatic relations still continue.
IL is evident. however, that in the be-
lief of the administration the time Is
approaching when Turkey must re-
eeive the usual sharp hint which Is
always necessary to make that country
pay a debt. There is nothing unusual
about the long delay--1s months-since
the Porte last promised TO pay the
$4,000 indemnity. 1t is Turkeys in
variable way Of attending to such mat
ters and has not surprised anybody.
When this manana policy has been
stretched to the utmost there usually
comes time when final hint is ne
cessary. European nations cannot al
ways give utteranees TO final hint
The United States can do so and the
only question is how soon the time win
come.
There is another matter in issue with
Turkey-the payment Of an indemnity
for the death Of Frank Lenz, the wheel
man. The Turkish policy is the same
in both cases and is the time honored
policy of that government.
One reason for the belief that the
time is approaching when the final jog
will be given to Turkeys memory is
that the state department claims that
nothing is being done by this govern
ment to secure this payment Of the
indemnity. 1t is known that the gov
ernment has for a long time been try
ing to secure the payment and there is
apparently no reason for dropping all
efforts at this time. This leads to the
belief that the state department is
preparing to give strong hint and
does not care to talk about 1t in ad-
vance.
