DISCLAIMER BY HALE.
Balfour Assured Britain Hasn't
Our Sympathy.
HOT SHOT FOR CHAMBERLAIN.
Maine Senator Charged Him with Bring
ing on War Against Boers-Don't Think
Administration Ignored Properly Ae-
credited Transvaal Representatives.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-A speech,
sensational IN its interest and interna-
tionai in it's Importance, was delivered
III the senate by Mr.. Hale Rep, Me- i.
The occasion of the utterance was the
simple question whether a resolution
introduced by Mr.. Allen Pop, Neb. !,
calling for information as to the recog-
milton by this country of diplomatic
representative of the Transvaal republic
should be directed to the president or
to the secretary of state.
Mr.. Hale (Me.l said he could not be-
heye that any accredited representative
of the Transvaal republic had 5een re-
jected by the president. Said he fur
ther in part:
| should deem that most unfortunate event
If it occurred. ] have heard that irresponsi-
Bile, unaceredited persons, perhaps United
States citizens, have appeared in Washington
claiming to represent the gallant people who
are struggling for liberty. but no such mission
could be recognized.
| have yet to be made TO believe that any
duly accredited representative of that brave
people of South Africa has appeared before
the president Of the United States and been
denied avhearing. If that be true, the sooner
we are informed about it the better for the
American people.
do not doubt that the American people
agree with me that the war which Great Brit.
ain Is waging IS the most fell blow at human
liberty that has been struck in the last cen.
fury. do not doubt that the administration
representing the people of the United States
feels today | feel on the subject and as nine
tenths of the American people feel.
He denied that the American people
were Gin sympathy with Great Britain
in the South African war to stamp out
the liberty of people" and when Mr..
Balfour, IN the house of commons, made
such statement, che should be met
with some disclaimer from this side of
the Atlantic
Further along he said in part:
do not wish international complications.
do not wish war. Irecall that we have not
been much in love with neutrality in times
past that we could not speak up boldly for
Hungary, Poland, Armenia, Cuba and Greece;
and do not know why II is now that must
speak with bated breath in favor Of liberty.
do not believe that the English people are
in favor of this war. | believe that the great
queen, on Bonded knees, has prayed that the
war might be ayerted l do not believe that
the great premier of England favored the war.
1t was the act and movement of sharp cabinet
minister, engaged with gold spectators, which
favored the war.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Hale S speech
the resolution, as amended by Mr..
Spooner, was adopted.
Mr.. Spooner's amendment provided
that the resolution be directed to the
president, aud he be requested to furnish
the information, if not incompatible
with public interests.
