Washington, Jan. ia speech,
sensational in interest and interna-
tional in its Importance, was delivered
in the senate by Mr.. Hale (rep, Me.).
The occasion was the simple question
whether the resolution introduced by
Mr.. Allen pop, Neb.) calling for in
formation as to the recognition by this
country of diplomatic representations
of the Transvaal republic should be
directed to the president or to the sec
rotary of state. Mr.. Hale made the
question the text of an imprisoned
speech in which he declared that nine
tenths of the American people SYM
pathiZed with the beers. He declared
that 1.-The war which Great Britain is
waging is the most fell blow at human
liberty which has been struck in the
century" He denies that the Ameri-
can people were 'in sympathy with
Great Britain in the south African
war to stamp out the liberty of the
people" and when Mr.. Balfour, in the
house of commons, made such state
ment he should be met with some dis
claimer from this side of the Atlantic
He declared the English people them
selves were not in favor of the war
which has been brought on by a
sharp cabinet minister engaged with

which previous to Hale's speech had
caused sharp colloquy between
Messrs. Allen and Spooner (rep., Wis.,

towering the commissioner in his dis
erection to withhold fees of attorneys in

structions to the Paris peace COM
missioners led TO prolonged debate.
