He Vigorously Opposed the Adoption of the Conference Cuban Reso- lutions Report. The House yesterday revived the agita- tion of the questicn of Cuban belligerency in connecticn with the conference report on the Cuban resolutions. It wae not expected that there would te much debate, but Mr. Boutelle, by his vigorous opposition, prevented action yes- terday, and the debate ran over until to- day. Mr. Boutelle (Me.), who has steadily op- Posed the passage of any Cuban resolu- tions,said he never had regretted his course, and he thought his attitude had been vindi- cated by subsequent events. This pro- ceeding was a remarkable illustration of “how not to do it.” The resolutions had no legal effect. They amounted to noth- ing. That had been proclaimed in the Senate, and was well understood here. The chairman of tne foreign relations commit- tee in the Senate admitted that the reso- lutions when brought back by the confer- ence committee were dead as Julius Caesar. They never could have passed the Senate, and therefore the House conferees thought it wise to surrender. Mr. Hitt denied emphatically that it ever had been admitted in the Senate that it would have been impcssible to pass them again in that body. It was admitted that a vote could have been obstructed, but he declared emphatically that there was in the Senate an overwhelming majority for each and all of the resolutions. Mr. fHoutelle, continuing, argued that public ardor on the question had meas- urably cooled, and that there was no demonstrable proof of the existence of the fact of Cuban belligerency. He taunted the committee with having refused to make the resolutions joint, and insisted that it was clearly understood that the President did not favor belligerency. He did not Pretend to voice the whole public senti- ment of the county, but he did represent the conservative element that deprecaied foreign Urcils that might eventuate in a foreign war. He attributed much of the feeling in the country to the sensationalism of the press, which was constantly secking pretexts for inflaming the public mind. A Lively Running Debate. ‘The gentleman says he has seen no ex- pression in favor of recognition,” inter- rupted Mr. Smith (Mich.) “Has he not seen the resolutions adopted by the re- publican convention of Massachusetts which declare for the recognition of the belligerency?” (Loud applause.) “L have reccived ro communication from that source,” replied Mr. Boutelle. “Read the hearts of the American peo- ple,” shouted Mr. Henderscn (lowa), “and you will find that expression.” (Great ap- plause.) “One more gentleman who represents the American people,” sneered Mr. Boutelle. “Iam w'th them,” retorted Mr. Hender- son, “I can tell you that.” (Loud ap- plause.) Mr. Gillett (Mass.), who was temporary chairman of the Massachusetts conventi Aenied that the platform demanded t ognition of Cubans. “The gentleman doubtless referred the platform of the republt Sota,” interrupted M sota, amid another If I can keep presidential politic this debate,” said Mr. Boutelle, s| should be very much pleased.” “The man who makes that insinuation,” replied Mr. Henderson, “is saying some- thing very far from the truth. “These resolut‘ons express public opin- ion,” shouted Mr. Smith. “I will take care of that,” replicd Mr. Boutelle. “You will in Massachusetts, but we will in Michigan.” “No; I won't in Massachusetts. Massa- chusetts will be taken care of on this floor by the men who represent her here. ‘Not by the gentleman from Maine. ‘No, sir; the gentleman from Maine has no desire to represent Massachusetts, or Michigan either.” (Laughter.) “And Mich!gan has no desire to be repre- sented by the gentleman from Maine. (Laughter.) After this parting shot Mr. Boutelle was allowed to proceed with his speech. Proceeding, he deprecated the tales of herrible atrocities committed by Spain in Cuba, which had been retailed in this country with a view to firing popular pas- sion. He recalled the burning of a negro, bound to a gridiron, in a public square in Texas, an orgie more horrible than any- thing that had occurred in a generation. Mr. Grosvenor asked if that outrage had rot been committed by an incensed mob. “Certainly,” replied Mr. Boutelle, “but the point I am making is that the whole Spanish people should not be indicted be- cause somebody is hung or garroted under the form of law any more than the Ameri- can people should be indicted for the act of a mob at Paris, Texas.”” A Drive at the President. Mr. Boutelle created much amusement by. a sarcastic description of the President's twist of the British tail in his Venezuelan message. He painted Mr. Cleveland in bat- tle array, with plumes streaming #nd sword clanking, marching down to the sea- shore and shaking his fist at John Bull, cryin; Fee, fi, fo, fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman.” “Four days afterward,” continued Mr. Boutelle, ‘just as we were preparing to pack our grips and go home for our Christ- mas turkey, this great warrior, with the broken plume and spurs tangled in his trousers, dragged himself up the steps of the Capitel and made his Macedonian ap- peal, the treasury's bankrupt; for God's fake, gentlemen, don’t go home till you have given us money enough to tide over the holidays.” ° “That,” he said, disgustedly, “is what you call a vigorous foreign policy.” In support of his contention against the recog- nition of belligerency, Mr. Boutelle read from the messages of Gen. Grant, and charged that it was the boast of the revo- lutionists that they had burned and de- stroyed crops, fields and villages in order to drive the people into insurrection. After he concluded Mr. Smith of Michi- gan secured a minute ‘in which to read the decigration of the Massachusetts re- pees convention on the Cuban ques- ion. ~ c Mr. Skinner (N. C.) closed the debate for the day with a brief speech in favor of the adoption of the conference report. Without action, at 5:10, the House took @ recess until 8 o'clock for the considera- tion of private Is. Last Night's Season. At the pension session of the House last night several members attacked Mr. Erd- man (Pa.), a member of the invalid pension committee, for blocking pension bills. Mr. Erdman in his reply declared that he fa- vored meritorious bells, but that he had opposed and woul continue to oppose bills to pension teamsters, camp followers, pho- tegraphers, deserters and others who were not justly entitled to pension. He referred to the pension bills passed without debate yesterday afternoon (over thirty in num- ber) as a feast spread by the House for the benefit of deserters, photographers and bounty jumpers. Eight bills were favor- ably acted upon. Among them was one to pension the widow of Brig. Gen. Edward Jardine. ——_—_+-e+___ Old Missais, Etc.

At the annual meeting of the District Federation of Women's Clubs, held in the lecture hall of All Souls’ Church Wednesday afternoon, there was an election of officers for the ensuing year, followed by the ap- pointment of a delegate from each woman's club in the District belonging tq the fed- eration to represent the organizations at the general federation of clubs, which will meet in Louisville in May.

It has been urged that Montgomery county, in an equitable distribution of po- litical lator and horors, is entitled to name the candidate for Congress in the sixth congressional district. I don’t know how this is, but on that assumption I have been urged by many friends, whose good opin- ion I prize highly, to consent to enter the lists as a candidate for Congress: I have not deemed it necessary to pub- lish any statement with reference to the matter, for two reasons: First, I do not de- sire to seem to decline that which has not Leen tendered, and, second, I have said to a number of thcse who have spoken to me on the subject and insisted on using my name that I was not a candidate; that I am not inclined to make a personal can- vass of the district, and that such a can- vass would appear to be necessary in order that the citizens may have knowledge of the candidate and ris views on controlling public issues, so as to act advisedly in making a nomination. I would not want my name presented by Montgomery county unless there was rea- sonable assurance that my candidacy would be acceptable to other parts of the district. The very early date fixed for holding-the convention in this county ren- ders such conference with the people of the district quite out of the question, even if my professional duties would permit me to enter upon the canvass. A number of gentlemen have announced themselves as candidates for the nomina- tion, so there is no dearth of available ma- terial. I thave been requested to publicly state my position with reference to the canvass, and, in justice to those gentle- men who are candidates, I say to my friends that I am not. I will cordially support the nominee of the convention. JULIAN C. DOWELL. ——_.————— Henry M.
