can COnsul III Soutn AIrlca dSkln8 nlib to do something to secure the release of an American boy who had been forced to enlist in the English army to fight the Boers in South Africa. Whether 1t be true or false. know not, but the letter came from the parents of this boy ask ing me to transmit 1t. telling me tha, they had in vain appealed to the Stat, Department to intervene in their behalf
 we have swung further away from democratic traditions, from republican ideas and from republican principles II. the last five years than nj the previous hundred years. Things are now accept ed as a matter of course that would have shocked the intelligence of our forefather; beyond endurance, all growing out or this striving to lock arms with the great European powers, and become woric power, to foster this new idea of diplo- macy, sitting quietly by and allowing of one government power to assemble in his residence in the capital of the republic the representatives oi every other great nation and make the cold bloded and deliberate demand or re- quest that they join with him in a oeter- imitation arbitrarily and with force 10 prevent the American people from ac- complishing what they had determined to accomplish.
 Tt may be we'll enough to treat tho representatives of foreign powers with courtesy and consideration. do declare that if the publication in the press is true this man Pauncefote ought to he ordered to take the first ship to cross the waters. We want no such man in the republic. If he comes here to represent his gov ernment, we'll and good: but if he comes here to hatch conspiracies, to attempt tt force his wishes and his ideas upon tho American people, the soooncr we are TIC of him the better 1t will be.
 And, another thing. Mir. Chairman, . am only restrained from discussion of what I regard as a most unfortunate in cident by the ordinary amenities which should obtain between one gentleman ano another. I aliude to the fact of the op- portunity seized by the chief citizen Of the republic to send a member of his family across the water for the purpose of participating in the coronation Of king.
 "I shall not discuss that. I will in passing say that 1t is a most unfortunate circumstance. It is unprecedented in our history, and is today deeply lamented on the part of every country loving man Tn the republic. It Is establishing prece- dent that he ought not to recognize and 1t is but one more link in the chain show ing toward to what end we are drifting.
 "In the next few days we are to have brother of a ruler come over to this coun- try and take charge of little tug ship vessel or yacht, whatever you please to term it, built by some people up in New York. We are appropriating thousands of dollars and the Anglomaniacs and the European maniacs are falling over each other to get to see little Dutchman come over and take charge of little ship. Applause on the Democratic side.) What difference does it make whether he is Prince Henry or not? There are thousands of citizens of this republic following the blow, as noble, as honest, as intelligent as Prince Henry or Prince any body else. Applause on the Demo- cratic side.)
 why do people give heed to this fool ish and disgraceful flunkeyism enacted by the present administration? what difference does 1t make to us whether
 he is a brother of an Emperor? It IS evidence of our good will. they say. What do we care about the good will of the
 German people? Let us treat them
 noiitely as one honest man treats
 another, but why should we bow down
 to these people any more than to any other citiZen?"
 MT. Grosvenor (Ohio) If the gentleman bad heen living at the time of Lafayette came to this country. bearing the com mission of the King of France, would he have overruled the action or George Washington sending commission to meet him and accompanying him over the country?
 MT Wheeler: "No; l would have been nroud to join in the commission to well come the Marquis Lafayette. He was great holdier. a great fighter and fought for the rights of the American people (applause), but this man represents that lingism of fiunkeyism that seeks to en- slave the labor of every people under the sun.
 MT. GilIet Mass )--Does the gentleman ,r,tic;ze inc democratic administration Of Buchanan in receiving the Prince or Wales?
 MT. wheeler-That is q very different thing daughter and derisive cries on the side). We receiVeo nm ho' as we are receiving this man. II recoI- feet rightly. but he came as the official head of his government.
 MT. Grosvenor-On the contrary ne came under another name and the at- tendant that was with him came incog- nito also. coming as mere private clu- zen and was taken charge Of by the gov ernment during his entire stay m the United States and dined at the White pouse bv a Democratic President at. the time when Democracy meant snmethin"
 Mir. WheeIer-If the gentleman Is cor rect. then I condemn in unineasured terms the attitude of that Democratic S
 Amid much confusion and cries Of regular order. MT. Boutell Qll.) deciareo to the rattle of Republican applause that no man in recent years had rehecteo on our diplomatic affairs at the present head of the State Department MT Boutell discussed the Chinese crlsir with the Russian proposition and the rejection of the German proposition Tor inc surrender of certain of the Chinese leaders.
 Mir. Wheeler asked if 1t was not fact that at the time of the German ana other nerotiations mentioned MT. Hay was absent and the negotiations were conducted by Secretary Root with the as- distance of the acting secretary Of the state Department. MT. Adee' MT Boutell insisted Mir. Hay had conducted inc negotiations. The excitement occa stoned by MT Wheeler's speech then t,ibsided and the consideration Of pen- sion bills was resumed
 Later in the day MT. Grosvenor secured the noer ana replied at length to MT Wheeler, He denominated MT. Wheelers about the forthcoming visit of Prince Henry as a bitter attack upon inc President of the United States, the House and Senate. and incidentally upon all with whom the Prince would come in contact" Just at the time when the American people were to be put to the .4 o. ta xvbatbar they were gentlemen .
