THE SPEECH of Representative Lam
ham at the Confederate Memorial Day
services 10 this city yesterday was gen.
erslly regarded as one ofthe most thrill
lug ever listened to on any similar occA'
sion. The speaker was at home with
his SUI ject, spoke without notes and his
words formed a steady flow OF oratory
and pathos for about an hour. As DE
drew towards it's close the nearer found
himself in a condition similar to that
experienced in reading a pleasant book
when he begins to count the leaves and
lament the fact that there Is bot one
v,lume. He spoke ex amino, and whlle
sone of the younger and more thought
less 10 the audience did not listen as at
tentiyely as others, every wearer OF the
gray and the majority of his hearers
drank in oil he said with avidity. AT
the close of the banquet on the IGN
of LIST January, after Representative
Maddox had made his chef d'G1vre, the
members OF the camp shook his hand
with the i.vitation, Come to see US
again." Ia the language of Gil Bias,
there are two of them" and the Elm
csre invitation extended Mr.. Maddox
Is as honestly applied to Mr.. Lanham'
That he may come again is the earnest
wish of all.

adversely to the House resolution.
Mr.. Berry declared 1t was. So did
DIR. Teller and Mr.. Jones (Ark.)

The committee WAS merely unable to
agree.
Mr.. Sponner, amidst. more laughter,
asked for additional light.
Mr. Burrows stated that he had not
meant 10 report the resolution adverse.
ly, but to merely advise the Senate Of
tbs adverse action of the committee.
Mr.. wellington moved that the COM

sideralion OF the resolution and that 1t

was another ripple of agitation, the

REPORTS from the Norfolk dstric,
indicate that a warm contest will be
had between Mr.. Maynard, the present
incumbent, aod Mr.. Lawless. for tae
democratic nomination for Congress
and that "personslities" may be in
duged in, which may result In bitter
ness if not a split in the democratic
vote. This has frequently occurred in
the Norfolk district and the result has
bsen the election OF a republican to rep
resent that strong democratic district 10
Congress. The republicans are count
iug on a recurrence of democratic
division and, as recently stated, WORD
has gone down from Washington"
directing them to nominate a candidate
for Congress and make strong fight
and that all the money needed will be
furnished them. The democrats should
take warning and see that friendly
contest is held 10 the Second district
such an one that at its termination all
who take part can rally to the support
OF the successful nominee The demo-
Gratis cannot afford to lose any Con-
gressmen at the next election.

Politics NOT only makes strange bedfel-
lows, but. like money, it breaks up the
strongest friendships. Two years ago Mr.. J..
T. Lawless was one Of the strongest sur
porters Mr.. II. L. Maynard had in his race
far Congress in the Second district and sided
him materially in securing the nomination
and the election. But now Mr.. Lawless has
decided to become 8 congressional candidate
and yesterday challenged Mr.. Maynard to
Joint debate, saying: "Inasmueh as you seek
denomination upon the strength of your
public record and desire, of course, that the
people be informed thereon; and inAsmuch
asI, TOO. desl1e to be heard in this connec'
tion, l hereby respectfully invite you to meet
m, in joint discussion throughout the dis.
triet." Mr.. Maynard declined the challenge,
saving: ut will be unwise in my opinion to
engage In 3 public discussion of our claim;
for nomination. Furthermore, my duties in
Congress will prevent me making an extended
canvass Of the district at this time" To thi;
declinstion Mr.. Lawless replied that the
reasons were evssicns and will prove to be
insufficient in the minds Ct ahe people OF this
district to whom you are iDdustriolsly an.

GENERAL FITzHUGH LEE was one Oh
President Roosevelt's guests OF the

the relations between this government
and Cuba the general said:
"This government has settled poi

Over one hundred years ago, when
the republic Of the Uoited States first
posed az an independent power, Eo-
alishmen and others in Europe shook
their heads ominously when asked
what would be the outcome OF Ids
country. Moet of them were OF the
opipion thst 1t would exploue lh'o
many fragments at the first presiden-
tial election. 1t came and passed OIL
without any such dire result, and as
election followed election, issues we're
sprung and safely bridged over and the
country emerged from one crisis
and another until the would-be
prophets pigeon-holed their forecasts.
CUBA will doubtless have the same ex-
perience if size is let alone. But that
che will not be is the opinion OF many
and that the masquerade dress in which
she has been sttired by the United

During the greater part of the Sen
ate's session yesterday Mr.. Patterson,
OF Colorado, one OF the minority mem
bers of the Philippine committee, oc-
cupied the floor In discussion of the
Philippine question. He devoted much
of the time in jus;ifying the course OF
bis newspaper, the Denver News, from
whose editorials Mr.. Foraker, OF Ohio,
quoted several days ago. Mr.. Patter-
son quoted from the utterances OF the
paper to show that it consistently had
advocated the independence of the
Filipinos since December, 1898. the
editorials quoted by Mr.. Foraker hav'
Jog been written prior to that time. He
d discussed the whole Philippine ques.
ton, end had not concluded bis re-
marks when he yielded the floor for the
day. Several lively colloquies occurred
during the speech.
After some further discussion of the
Philippine question between Mr.. For
aker and Mr.. Hoar, dealing particular
ly with President McKinley's procls'
nation to the Filipinos, the bill was
laid aside for the day and sixty.two
private pension bills were passed.
