WASHINGTON. .Ian. 21.—Before the Cuban debate was resumed in the house yesterday Mr. Lacey (rep., Ia.t, chairman of the committee on public lands, called up a hill to extend the public land laws of the I'nlted States to Alaska and to grnnt a right of way tinder certain restrictions to any rail road organized under the laws of any state in the union. It was explained that the right of way grant was 100 feet on cadi side of the road, but that all mineral deposit* were specifically reserved. Without completing the con sideration of the trill It went over and the house went Into committee of -e ! whole and resumed the consideration of the diplomatic und consular appro priation hill. Mr. Clark (dom.. Mo.i. opened the Cuban debate with one of ills char acteristic, breezy speeches. He Bald In part: if Spain does not bring the war to a speedy conclusion the i'nlted States ought to expel her from the western hemisphere. There can he not dcubt as to what haa l>e<n our traditional for eign policy. What our foreign policy itt under the McKinley administration, like the peace of God, pass' th all un derstanding. In these days of Mc Hannalsm our foreign policy is so feeble, so cringing, ho cowarcly, that even old and decrenlt Spain int tilts our flag, maltreats our citizens and Bcarehes our ships with perfect im punity, and President McKinley, In stead of sending men-of-war to pro tect our honor, assert our supremacy and teach the Insolent and Impotent dons a lesson they would never forget, passed the hat around and invites the American people to contribute alms for starving and dying Cubans! ft Is high time that we served p'ain and emphatic notice on all kings, em perors and potentates that the navies of transatlantic powers shall not a» used us collection bureaus for for questionable debts, as was done a y'uir or two ago at Corlnto, and as 'vas done a month or so ago in Haytl. The Cuban case Is this: For three years the Insurgents have fought with a courage and suffered, with a fortitude that has challenged the admiration of the w orld—save and except the Mc Kinley administration. Three or four hundred thousand peoplp—somp of thp papers say OHO,000 —have died: men, : women and children, as much martyrs In the cause of liberty as was Warren or any other hero who died that we might he free—and yet the McKinley administration lifts not its finger to stay the slaughter and ean think of nothing more effective for their relief : than to pose as the big beggarman. j The party of Sumner. Chase and Se ward, which proudly vaunted Itself as , the friend of man. has become the ally I of pestilence arid arson, famine, devas- | tatlon, rape and murder! To pvery suggestion that we should re-enter upon a vigorous end foreign policy we are met with the hysterical shriek that we are advocating war. i It Is not true, but suppose ft were? : There irp some things wn’nc than war deplorable as war unquestion ably Is—and one of them Is to may the cry baby act until we arc despised of all nations and kindreds and j tongues. Now that we number 70,000.000 souls a republican administration cannot . o ; taunted, kicked or cuffed into resent ing an tnsnlt or demanding reparation for an injury. Such a contemptible ! and pusillanimous policy Is enough to make Grant, Sherman. Sheridan. n>i pnnt, Farragut and Porter restless in their coffins! My renublcan trends I invite you ; to lay aside the weight that Is holding you down, asert your rights, come out j on the side of eternal Justice and hu man liberty, thereby demonstrating that you are worthy of the high voca tion wherein you are called. We de-n- I ocrata and populists stand here ready to remove from America her great re proach. We on this side will con tribute 1f>2 votes. If only 27 republi can* will break th“ yoke, defy their taskmasters und Join us in this noble work before the sun sets this day we will send the glad tidings ringing round the world that "Cuba Is free."

Jan. 21.—Senator Morgan continued his speech In ad vocacy of the ratification of the Ha waiian annexation treaty in th„e exe cutive session of the senate. He an nounced at the conclusion that he probably would require one more day n which to complete his presentation of the subject. Senator Morgan dealt with the questions of the agricultural and com mercial possibilities of the island, with the character of the present govern ment and with the position of the na tives on the subject of annexation. He repeated his assertion that President Cleveland was favorable to the ac quisition of the islands, and expressed ihe opinion that ii was his intention to have restored the queen and to hive negotiated with her a treaty of an nexation. He also expressed the opinion that Mr. Cleveland would nev er have taken such a positive position as he did take against the Dale gov ernment and In opposition to ann x atlon, but for the antagonistic ard mis leading teport of C:mmlisloner Blount. The senator was Interrupted at this point by .wo or three senators who are opposed to the treaty, who wanted to know If it was not true that Mr. Cleve land had withdrawn the treaty for an nexation made by the Harrison admin istration. He admitted that this was the case, saying that it v.-.ix a matter of record, but ho still contended that un der conditions entirely to his liking Mr. Cleveland would have supported annexation. Mr. Morgan had been con vinced from private Interviews with Mr. Cleveland that he not only be lieved in the wisdom of annexation of Hawaii, but that he would also have i' '"omr unt il me unm xauun oi v.uuu under the light conditions. Mr. Morgan defended the present government of Hawaii in strong terms ami eulogized Mr. Dole as one of the most competent rulers of me time. He controverted the idea that the present government was, as had been charged, a missionary government, claiming that It was in every way staunch und : enterprising and abreast of the times. Speaking of the resources of the isl ands, Mr. Morgan said they were mani fold. and that the time would come when they would produce enough cof fee to supply the demands of all the people of the United States, while the sugar production had already reached its limit. He concluded that the resources of Ihe country were such as to Insure a very prosperous future ami predicted that Honolulu would some time in the not distant future attain to great com mercial importance, equal In all prob ability to that of Hong-Kong or otner cities of equal magnitude. The Senatorial Itri lerjr Charges. COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 21—The sen atorial bribery Investigation was not before tiie senate yesterday as ex pected. The crowds waited In vain during the morning session for a re port from the committee consisting of Senators Burke, Finck, Robertson, Long and Gar field, that had held un usual sessions the last two nights.

Hollenbeck of Chardon, auditor of Geagua county and a member of the republican state executive committee, was also before the committee. All of the witnesses refused to answer questions, because their attorneys had advised them that the committee had no Jurisdiction un der the senate resolution on which it was proceeding;. The committee has a report to pre sent to the senate recommending the arrest and punishment of these five witnesses for contempt. It is delayed because of the sickness of Mr. Hol lenbeck, who was allowed last night to return home on account of his ill ness. As the five names are included In one contempt resolution it was de cided by the committee touay to wait till Mr. Hollenbeck ran return and ap pear before the bar of the senate. €'*••** «f I.unary.

Mr. Chapman believes that recent mlsgoveriiment In the United States Is but a chapter In the history of commerce. He shows how since the war of 1861 the salient five Is the growth and concentra tion of capital; how capital haB con tributed to and supported both po litical parties alike, for I's own pur poses. and has thereby caused and stimulated the rise and growth of po litical "bosses.” He points out how the revolt from "bOHs rule.” as evi denced in the recent New York cam paign, indicates the awakenin'? of a public conscience and a demand for bettc r things, which Is the Hint step in shaking off the shackles of the boss and the regeneration of the na tion; In which conclusion from en tirely different premises he strikingly coincides with the deduction drawn by Mr. Edward M. Shepard In his thoughtful urid well-studied paper lu the January Atlantic upon the New York election. "A man In Birmingham got himself "That’s nothing.
