Condensed Proceedings of the Na- tional Law Mill, Washington, May 2..—Another stir ring debate on Cuba occurred in the senate. It was of the give and take order, with sharp parliamentary fenc- ing- The main speeches of the day were made by Senators Foraker of Ohio, Cannon of Utah, Lindsay of Kentucky and Hoar of Massachusetts. It was the first speech of any length nade by Mr. Foraker since he entered the senate. and, in addition to this. the Ohio senator is one of the Cuban subcommittee on foreign relations. He spoke in favor of a reference of the resolution to the committee, but on the pereral question, declared his purpose of supporting the resolution recogniz- ing Cuban belligerency when it should be reported by the committee. Mr. Cannon was bitter in his denunciation of Spanish atrocity, characterizing the captain general as “that mad dog Weyler.” Mr. Lindsay declared if the information furnished by United States consuls was so shocking as to subject them to danger of assassina- tion if their names were disclosed it was time to send warships to Cuba and to terminate all diplomatic rela- tions with that country. It was developed in the course of a cotloguy between Senators Foraker, Morgan and Vest that the state de- partment had withheld the names of United States consuls reporting on the serious condition of affairs in Cuba because it might lead to their massa- cre. Mr. Vest declared that this pre- sented the most serious phase of the subject, as it was time to protect our officials with warships if their per- sonal safety was threatened for mak- ing reports to their government. No action on the resolution was tak- en, but Mr. Morgan said he hoped to secure a yote to-morrow on Mr. Hale's motion to refer. He desired to do this, ne said, in order that the Cuban reso- lution might not antagonize the tariff bill on Monday. Washington. May 20.—The long and exciting debate on the joint resolution recognizing the existence of a state of war in Cuba and declaring that strict neutrality shall be maintained by the United States passed the senate by the decisive vote of 41 to 14. The an- nouncement of the vote was received with tumultuous applause, which drew from Senator Hawley an emphatic protest against “mob demonstration.” The resolution as passed is as follow: “Resolved, That a condition of public war exists between the government of Spain and the government proclaimed and for some time maintained by force of arms by the people of Cuba, and that the United States of Ameri- ca shall maintain a strict neutrality between the contending parties accord- ing to each all the rights of belliger- ents in the ports and territory of the United States.” The vote on the final passage of the resolution was as follows: Ayes — Bacon. Baker, Bate, Berry, Butler, Carter, Chandler, Chilton, Clarke, Clay, Cockrell, Cullom, Davis, Deboe, Foraker, Gallinger, Gorman, Hansbrough, Harris (Kan.), Heitfeld, Jones (Ark.), Kenney, Lindsay, Me- Bride, { Mantle, Mason, Mills, Morgan, Nelson, Pasco, Pettigrew, Pettus, Pritchard, Rawlins, Shoup, Stewart, Thurston, Tillman, Turner, Turpie, Walthall—41. Noes — Allison, Burrows, Caftery, Fairbanks, Gear, Hale, Hanna, Haw- ley, Hoar, Spooner, Wellington, Wet- more, White, Wilson—14. An analysis of the vote shows that the affrmative was cast by 1S Repub- licans, 19 Democrats and 4 Populists, and the negative by 12 Republicans and 2 Democrats. Prior to the final vote the motion of Senator Hale to refer the resolution to the committee on foreign relations was tabled—34 to 19. Mr. Vairbanks of Indiana proposed a substitute pro- viding that the president extend the good offices of the United States to Spain toward securing an end to the conflict and the ultimate independence of the island. This, too, was tabled— 35 to 15. Then followed the adoption of the original resolution. The voting occurred after an excit- ing debate participated in by Senators Thurston, Elkins, White, Fairbanks, Thurston, who presided over the Re- publican national convention at St- Louis, recalled the stirring scene when that convention enthusiastically in- serted a Cuban plank in the platform, and declared that this resolution was in partial fulfillment of that pledge. Messrs. Elkins and White urged a con- servative course and an inquiry by a cominittee. Then came the first vote— that on the Hale motion to refer. It was a test of strength and the defeat of the motion ‘assured the passage of the resolution. Mr. Fairbanks tried to stem the tide by offering a compro- mise proposition somewhat on the lines of the Cuban plank adopted at St. Louis, but it met the same fate as the Hale motion. Mr. Hale spoke with intense earnestness and feeling and with a trace of bitterness in his words. He declared that the elements opposed to the administration—Demo- crats and populists—had furnished the bulk of the vote in. favor of the reso- lution, and that the foreign policy of the administration was thus to be dic- tated by its opponents. He expressed the fear also that the resolution would lead to war with Spain. Mr. Spooner added his protest against tying the hands of the administration. Mr. Forman closed the debate. resenting the suggestion that party lines were drawn on the resolution, and assert- ing that the administration should have dispatched a war vessel to Cuba to protect our officials on the island. The final vote was then taken and the senate adjourned until Monday. Washington, May 26.—The debate on the tariff bill began in the senate with crowded galleries and a large attend- ance of senators and the tariff leaders of the house. Minor business claimed attention up to 2 oclock, When Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, in charge of the tariff bill, took the floor for the opening speech. At that time every available seat in the galleries was occupied. The Republican side of the floor showed an almost solid representation, there being but three or four vacant seats. The Democrats also presented full ranks, and the scattered seats of the populists were occupied with but one exception. Mr. Dingley, chairman of the ways and means committee, and author of the house bill, took a seat immediately beside Mr- Aldrich, and listened attentively. Other Re- publican members oi ute wars . means committee and Representative Simpson, of the Populist contingent. occupied the rear lounges. Speaker Reed was not present. Mr. Aldrich spoke for aimost an hour and a quarter, adopting an easy conversational style. His speech was the official. utterance of the finance comiittee, and, in a sense, the Repub- lican side of the: chamber: Without making invidious distinc- tions between the two bills Mr. Al- rich clearly stated as the belief of the finance committee that the house bill would not yield revenue adequate for the needs of the government. Mr. Vest of. Missouri, one of the Demo- cratic members of the finance commit- tee, followed with a statement in op- position to the bill. He spoke of the futility of piling up taxes on an over- burdened people when there was a bal- ance of $129,000,000 in the treasury. He criticised the schedules in detail. declaring that some of them were de- signed to be prohibitive. He severely attacked the increase in the lead duty. declaring it was for the benefit of the “cormorants” of monopoly and against the people. Mr: Cannon of Utah, a Silver Repub- Bean, closed the debate for the day by urging that the protection should be so distributed as to aid the farmers. Yarly in the day Mallory, the new sen- ator from Florida, was sworn in and took his seat. THE MARKETS. Latest Quotations From Grain and Live Stock Centers.
