SOUTH HIS TARGET
Hepburn Opposes Loan of
Tents to ConfederateS.
OBJECTS TO STATUE OF LEE
Idaho Senator's Caustic Speech
Makes No Votes in Support
of Protest.

With the south as his target, Senator
Hepburn spoke yesterday in the Senate in
protest to the passage OF a resolution au.
thorizing the loan of government tents fol
use at the Confederate Veterans reunion
in Mobile. Ala, in April, and against the
receipt of the statue of Gen. Robert E.
Lee in the Hall of Fame.
The vote was put on the resolution au-
thorizing the loan OF the tents for the
Confederate reunion and Mr.. Hepburn
cast the only vote against its passage
Sixty-o senators-and a majority OF
them from the north-voted with the
democrats.
His invectives against the placing of the
Lee statue in Statuary Hall were particu-
larly singing, and his entire speech was
a fierce denunciation of the Confederacy
and of the men who fought against the
Union in the civil war. He said he had
learned that those who attended the Con-
federate Veterans reunion would wear
the rebel uniform and that the rebel flag
as well as the Stars and Stripes would
be waved at the encampment.
Gives Senators Warning.
when this vote shall be TAKEN" he con-
the rebel flag should wave over property
of the United States. through the recog-
milton of Congress, they can vote for the
joint resolution and answer for it. II they
believe that the rebel nag was furled for
ever at Appomattox, they had better look
to their vote.
He turned shortly afterward to a con-
sideration of the Lee statue, although not
referring to 1t by name.
there was-educated at the expense of the
United States goVernment-an officer
holding high rank, who was sent for by
the commander-in-chief of the army OF
the United States, and rendered high
commission in the army. for its defense
He held commission in that hour, and
he held a commission as an officer in the
army of the United States when he stood
up and took the oath of allegiance to a
rebellious organization.
Il say this to hurt no mans feelings
No mans feelings could be hurt more
than mine are when | see this man put
forward as worthy of high place in the
Hall of Fame. In that very hour when Con-
&. ess was setting apart the old hall OF
the House of Representatives to receive
the statues of men worthy to be honored
by their country the state he represented
was not a part of the Congress of the
United States in either body.
Makes Earnest Appeal.

not participate in inviting the states to
place any statues there. She cannot
claim that she was part of the spirit
