Senator Hoar charncterizes Mr. Bry an's defense of his course in procuring the ratifieation of the Paris treaty as xeeedingly weak and lame. It will not bear examination for a moment, sald the Massachusetts senator. Mr. Hoar did everything in his power to prevent the ratitication of the treaty and he declares that everything he tried to do “was brought to naught by the action n by Mr.o Bryan, an action taken iinst the remonstrance of the wisest lenders in his own part Among these was Senator Money of Misshssippi, who made a R®trong speech against rati fication, saying other things “Does any man say we going to have peace by ratifylng this treaty Yes, Will have peace with Spain, but we will begin war with the Fili pinos.” He further said regarding the resolutions that had been tntrodueed in the senate that they were worth little more than as a text for open discus sion in that body.
