Il was a.2s p. M. when Mr.. Beveridgs
oomplslei his address. As be resumed
his ssat . storm Of applause swept
through the galleries which was pro-
Iongsd to an unusual s1tent. President
pro tenn Frye made . passive snort TO
repress the Demonstration and finally
announced thst applause was not per-
mitted In the United States Senats. This
was greeted with laughter In which Mr..
Frye himself indulsentiy Joined.
Meantime Mt. Bsveridge was rsosiving
the congratulations Of his colleagues and
many members OF the Honse.
Mr.. HoAr had risen and addressed the
chair. He had been . careful listener to
the spesch of Mr.. Bsveridgs and for some
time hnd been getting his Information
together for . reply. A. soon ~ No could
make himself heard he said that he had
been delighted with the slnqusnos nj
the Senator from Indiana.
81 am glad" no said, ito Welcome to
the public service his snthusiasm, his
silver speech and the earnestnsss with
which he 10 disposed to discharge his
duty"
Yet, he said. he had listened In vain
for those words which the American peo-
pie have taken upon their lips In solemn
cries. The words fright" "justioe, y
duty" and ''frsedom" were absent from
the eloquent address.
The beauty and sloquenoe Of the speech
had recalled that incident In which
Satan had taken Christ upon an exoesd-
inRly high mountain and showed Him
all the kingdoms Of the world and the
glory thereof and promised that all should
DO His II He would but fall down and
worship him. and he had replied: "Ges
thss behind me. Satan"
Mr.. Hoar declared that practically
every statement Of fact In the speech wa
rsfutsd By government reports received
from Admiral Dewey. Gen. Otis and
from other Official SOURCES. "Where did
Spain get the right to ssll her rights In
tbs Philippinesi" Mr.. Hoar asked.
Whore did the United States get the
right to buy and sell people like shespi
he was certain that for all the wealth
and commerce and glory which he had
eloquently depleted the Senator from
Indiana would nos have Q great injus-
tics done.
Mr. Hoar declared the Bilipinos had the
Spaniards hsmmsd In ut Manila and the
latter vera Obliged to surrender. He
thought 1t would be necessary 70 revise
the Constituti ton before thoss Eiiipinos
could b bought and sold. He did not
bslieve Mr.. Bsvsridge would advise the
American people to do this thing or to
do anything 90 base a. to strike down
the infant Filipino republic.
The Massachusetts, Senator made ire
qusnt references to and quotations from
the reports OF Gen. Otis and Admiral
Dewey and other officers In the Philip.
pines. These showed that whom Aguinal'
do arrived In Luson from Hong Kong,
the insurgents had an army OF $4,000;
that In the island Of Luzou the Filipinos
maintained courts. schools, municipal
governments and churches and that psaos
and order prevailed pretty generally,
Spanish prisoners were kindly treated.
"This," declared Mr.. Hoar. sis the

that the present condition OF warfare was
