Several members appealed to him not to do so and the speaker asked Mr. ltarrett. if he insisted upon the demand. Mr. Harrell seemed t<> hesitate when Mr. Talbot again gi/t on his feet and declared in a loud voice tiiat he was willing to have Ids words taken down. “I wilt stand l>y them,'' said he.

The United States must lie the eaclualve judge of wheu the doctrine i* to he epnlied. The United stales, Mr. Allen maintained, cannot permit Great llritain or any other foreign power to determine when am! to wiiat. extent the acquisition of territory on the Western hemisphere will imperil our Government. lie thought, iiowever, that it would be amplu time to act when the Venez uelan commission shall have r«p< i ted, aud said: "If we shall determine that the antiou of Great llritain In acquir ing territory in.Venezuela will Imperil our government by imperiling the rights of Venezuela, it will become our duty to marshal all the resources of our people to resist the threatened or actual invasion If, on the other hand, we shall determine, after due investigation and deliberation, that our interests will not lie imperiled, it will Ire our duty to abstain from any interference with the action of Great llritain." i ontlnulng, Mr. Allen said: “The threatened demolition of Fnglaud and the Knglish institutions that we liars li«u eil i«* 11, la /riiti m }•**«• ia li/if re*a I f I.Iinph Is tut danger from foes without, Wa have simply been Indulging In tha harmless pastime of twisting the cau dal appendage of the Itritlsh Hon to arouse a war spirit In the breasts of our people, and thus induce them to for get tlielr gricvuncc* and their wrongs. “We mistake the temper of the American people.

The general natire and ridicule directed ugaiuat the accrelary, and the alliiaioua made to the president, made the apeecli hardly less notable than that which atartled the senate. Mr. Vest referred derisively to "tha | colossal Intellect dealing with cab bage*." At one point the senator said: "The aecretary of agriculture churges from hla office, reminding im of what Cicero any* of Calallnc'* flight from the sen ate: ‘Ah It exeesalt cvaslt erupit.’ (Laughter).

Mr. Vest referred to the "bugle blast*' from the Secretary of Agricul ture as to the congressional extrava gance in distributing seeds, "The Democratic party lias been most unfortunate," said the Senator, with emphu' is. "not only a* to It* in ternal discords, hut also in the fact that the devil has owed us a grudge and has paid it In a secretary of agriculture. "The Secretary had," continued Mr. Vest, "put the Democratic oariy In antagonism to the great agricultural interests of the party, although that party had always stood as the close friends of agriculture "The gigantic intellect of this sec retary of agriculture has daily gone outside of his legitimate duties and why did it not discover some of the really flagrant abuses’.'" "Till* secretary,” proceeded the Sen ator. "has assumed to run the entire government.

"The trouble Is,” said Mr. Vest, "that the secretary of agriculture In a monomaniac on the gold standard, lie sees only gold, gold, red gold, and Vs as I k I it 1/ u unii ii.nn uu !■/■ /Iona mil sou as he sees I* u lunatic.” Mr. Vest closed shortly after 2 o'clock with it remarkably sarcastic and bitter peroration, lie referred to the useless seeds, which it was assert ed the secretary had properly refused to buy. ‘‘Hut,''added the Senator, “there was one seed not mentioned. “it wus,” he proceeded, smiling maliciously, “the aurefur fetncuiin canes mortonae, or, in plainer words, Morton's golden dogweed. This would flourish while tiie secretary, swinging his golden censor at the executive mansion, shouted his holy, holy, art thou, oil (irover, King of Kings und Lord of Lords."
