Spain owed to Cuba M much as Turkey ones to Armenia , or an the United Stslei to Venezuela , a duty of protection , and If thl protection Is not Riven then the point ha been reached when the United States nhould move for the severance of Cuba from Spain. " At 1 IB Mr. Sherman bcjan hh speec'i , closlnR the debate. Ho i-polic of the keen seraltlvonoea of iho Spanlih people and their tcrdencj- quickly resent any act they re- carded as Injurious to them. lint. Mr. Sherman said , be felt that the time had came when the United States must Intervene to put an end to crime nlmont beyond dcscrlpt Ion. The senator * ld ho would not re-ctne on the ICRM arguments so fully covered by Mr Morgan , but he referred to sevcra pairphlets prciente.1 by Mr. Estrada Talma the apent and representative of the Cuban In this country. Mr. Sherman fald the statement bore the fitamp of authenticity. He said Hover came the misapprehension Unit tha Cuban were scattered , unorganlroil bands. I showed the orRanlratlon of a legislature of the army , of the president the latter n man of high charlactcr. It was BH complct- nn orsanlfitlon at the United States bad during the revolutionary war. The ruloa of war observed by the Cubans were humane and honorable. rtoulnR "one of the barbarous ferocity of the Spanlin troops. The senator read fioin the order of General Maximo Oomcr show Ing the hu mane treatment ordered for prisoners It was In striking contrast with the mur derous course * pursued by General Weyler the SpanlBh commander. The entire Span Ish force now In Cuba was distinctly Span tin. Nn ttust was placed In any in in o Cuban birth. This Spanish fgrcn today was Krcator than the entire nrltlah force sent to the United States to combat our nlrug Klo for Inlepsndcncc. While Mr. Sherman was sp-aUIng of the character of the Culnns Mr. Morgan aske to read a letter Just received from on ofil- clal of the National Capital bank of this rlty , who. with the president of the bank hud travcleJ through Cuba. The letter de- Rcrlbcd the Cubans as an honorable , chiv alrous , high-minded people , bravp to an ex treme , ready to risk their lives for patriotIsm - Ism , BAD FAITH OP SPAIN. Mr. Sherman went on to speak of the bad faith of Spain In putting down the former rebellion , when reforms were prom ised and never executed. The rule of Spain lias always been oneof Iron , of oppression and of atrocltlPB. The senator pal-1 a glowIng - Ing tribute to General Gomez , commander oi the Cubans , who had been pictured as a brigand , "Gomez Is a man of standing , of char- pcter. " said Mr. Sherman. "He Is probably nn Idealist. Dorn In San Domingo , ho went to Cuba to fight this cause of liberty. Ho ought to be , anil will be. considered a pa triot at some speedy day. " Turning to the material Interests of the United States In Cuba , ho showed that the tnclo of the Island with the United States was $32,000,000 annually , and the trade of the United States with the Island was $19- 000,000. "But mark It , " said Mr. Sherman , "I do not favor the annexation of Cuba to the United States. In my Judgment the Island should become a part of Mexico , being of the tame people , and I would be glad to see that accomplished. " Mr. Sherman said ho would now turn his attention to "the saddest phase of this whole subject. " He referred to the recall of General Campos , a humane soldier , and the substitution of General Weyler. who has been well christened "the butcher. " "The events of the last thirty days In ronnect- tlon with this appointment had changed bin whole feeling , " ho said. "This mnn Wcyler Is ono of the worst men who could bo sent to pacify n people. His warfare Is massa cre. He openly avows It. Ho Is a brute , pure and simple. His hands are staineJ with the blood 0 ! defenseless men and women. " In support of this statement Mr. Sher man sent to the desk and had read ex tracts which were most startling and sen sational. They recited atrocities of Weylet's former command In Cuba , which sent a noticeable murmur of horror through the oronded galleries. Ono of the statements was that General Weyler had captured pa rents and their several daughters , pretty Bcnorltas. lie had ordered the young girls stripped nuked and then compelled them to dance thus naked before the Spanish troops , while the parents , driven to tie ! point of Insanity , stood by. But this was not all. Mr. Sherman was Interrupted nt this point find asked that the recital be suspended. The senator went on to give extracts from recent Interviews with Wey ler. In which ho spoke of exterminating the Cubans. These showed him to bo , said Mr. Sherman , a demon rather than a gen- eial. WAUNHD THfi GALLERIES. Then the senator added : "If this con tinues , in earthly power can prevent the people ot the- United States from going to that Inland , sweeping over It from end to end and driving out thi o birbarlans. " At this fervid sentence the galleries broke Into ( cud find continued applause , while the vice president loudly gave warning that under their rules , If the demonstration was fopjated , the galleries would be cleared. Mr. Sherman said every Christian heart re volted nt this rule of oppression. We did not want any Armenia at our doors. We could not shield ourselves , like Great Brit ain , by saying Armenia was too far away. Cuba was right beside us. The- rules of civilized society , the spirit ot the age , de manded that Spain should be compelled to stop these cruelties. Not only the United States , but the countries of the world would unite In this demand ; and If Spain failed to heed It , and Weyler carried out his pro jected plans , there was not a point on the American hemisphere which would not take up arms to put an end to the Infamy. I stand responsible for tno course wo must take , " said Mr. Sherman , In closing , "and confident In the Justice of this course , con- lldont In th ? Justice of the Almighty Ruler of the universe , I feel we should aid In securing Cuba the tame liberty wo now enjoy , " Mr. Sherman was again warmly applauded as he closed , and Mr. Oalllnger took the floor. Ho graphically portrayed the woes which Rpaln InlllctcU on the Cubans , quoting n.any newspaper articles , and declared that General Weyler was beginning to live up to his name. In conclusion he said : "God speed the day when Cuba shall be free. " Mr. Lodge ackud to have placed In the Record the outline of Weylor'B forthcoming proclamation cent by the correspondent of the Associated prets nnd said this alone would Justify nny action the s.enato would take. General Woyler's policy of shooting down defenceless people was begun , said Mr. Lodge. . "There was a people struggling against rrongg beside which the grievances which led the American colonies to rebel against Great Drltaln were nothing.

MR FIIYB WAS TIRED. Mr. I'rye raid "I anheartsick and tired to sec day after day this splendid republic ot ouri doing police duty for the most wicked nation on the face of the earth. " After rtadlni ; an account of the Bermuda a flair , Mr. Fr > continuing , nald that he had been mortified and humiliated by It beyond , measure. Although recognlrlng the rupremacy of law , he would hc bean dc- HghtcJ If Almighty God , without loss ot human life , could have sent a commotion to send skyward the seizing vessel nrd send the other Cubaward. In closing he Raid he would vote for anything which v ould aid tSe cause of the Cubans , who were M successfully striving tr wrest liberty from the grasp of a relentless despotism. Senator CaKrey took an opposing view- on tha question. He declared Spain must b treated as belonging to the family ot civilized nations , nnd tcld alt rules of In ternational law should prevail In the deal ings of this nation with the rebellion. At tacks upan th- past conduct of Spain were out of place jn this discussion. AVhlla her treatment ot the Indians of South America might have been differed In a degree Iron the treatment glxen this race by all civil Ized nations , It did not differ In kind , Wha had we , askel the senator , to watt ant a declaration of a belligerency , much less of Independence ? There was not a uclntllli of actual evidence warranting this action The senator said h did not favor nny course contemplating the taking up of arms against Spain In favor Cuba. If we Interfered feredIn the affairs of Cuba , said he , we do so with the Implied thlcat that we wtl protect Cubi. Against the power of the United States Spanish chivalry and valor would not lust half a campaign. Weak ni Spain la she would resent nn unwarrnntc Interference. Lest we Incur the Imputa tion of bullying a weaker nation , the United States should move with caution , Mr. Caf- frey opposed the resolutions because congress - gre-ss had no power , and the facts did not warrant action If we had the power. ALLEN FAVOHRD FULL RECOGNITION Mr. Allen read an argument as to tlio legal tight of congress to recognize Inde pendence. The Ectmtor spoke at greal length , referring to Spain as an "outlawed nation" and Weyler as a "bloody butcher , ' while the crowded chamber was evident ! } desirous of proceeding to a vote. Mr. Allen bald he would not only recognlre Cuba , but he would establish her as cue ot the na tions ot the earth , and for that purpose would summon our armies and fleets to Cuba's aid. Let war come , It should nut check us In our duty. At this point numerous amendments , gome verbal , were offered. One by Mr. Call pro posed a proclamation by the president rec ognizing the Independence of Cuba. Mr. I'ascoe called attention to the Import ant fact that the- pending committee reso lution was "concurrent , " which , according to usage , did not need the president's sig nature. Ho urged that It be a Joint resolu tion , thus endorsing the picsldcnt In Ills actions. "The reasons against adopting a Joint resolution , " said Mr. Sherman , "Is that the president would be compelled to act within ten days , while a 'concurrent' resolution will express the wish of congress and allow the president to act when the circumstances warrant. " Mr. Pascoc said this was the A cry rea son he believed the resolution should go to the president In order to obtain speedy ac tion. Ho offered an amendment directing the president to Issue a proclamation of belligerency. Mr. Cameron offered nn amendment for extending tlfe ft loudly offices of the United States to Spain tor the recognition of the Independence of Cuba. "I am authorized by the committee on foreign relations to accept that amendment , " said Mr. Sherman. Mr. Sherman mo\eJ to lay on the table the tosolutlon of Mr. White requesting the executive branch to grant bclligeicncy and adding sympathetic expressions as follows : Wo are of the opinion that the ex ecutive department , to whose investigation and care our diplomatic relations have been largely committee ! , should recognize- belligerency at those who nro maintaining themselves In Cuba In armed opposition to Spain , and that the influence of tlie olliceis or the United States may be prudently , quickly and effectively exerted to the end that Cuba may be enabled to establish a permanent government of her own choice. The motion to table prevailed , yeay , D7 , nays , 12. This afforded the first test of the spuato against a limited sympathetic resolu tion.

A special to the Rec ord from Washington ms : The rcmarkab ] speech of Mr. Carter In the panate , taken In connection with that ot Mr. Carlisle at the Manhattan club In New York a few day ago , has started a good deal ot talk over the reorganization of the old political parties am a division of the people upcn new lines Both the republicans and democrats ncem nl most hopelessly divided upon the same Issue and that most Impottant before the American people today. The parties arc united upon every other. More than half the democrats In congress declare that they will not support the candidate to bo nominated at Chicago unless ho pledgee himself to free coinage A conservative portion of the republicans say the tunic concerning the candidate to be nominated nt St. Louis. Why , It Is aaltcd cannot those In both parties wlto think alike get together and name- men who agree wltl them ? A great many people believe that I dbcusslon and division continue much longer that will happen. Secretary Morton sug gested such an expectation upon hl < part. It a newspaper Interview not long ago and there nro these who claim to have heard the presi dent predict a general breakup and reorgan ization bcforo the end of this administration but It Is not likely that there will be an ) bolting from either paity until after the na tional conventions are held nnd the platforms are adopted. The republican leaders do not expect nny bolt. Both Mr. Teller nnd Mr. Carter , who announced the terms ot the sliver senators , declare that they will not leave the repub lican party nnd that they cannot be driven out , no matter who Ii nominated. "I am a republican and I always expect to be a republican. " said Mr. Teller. "I am Just as good a republican as John Sherman cr George R. Hoar , and there Is Just as much probability bt their leaving tbo party as there Is of my leaving It. I have said t'-at I will not support the republican cand.datc for the presidency unless wo can make some satisfactory agreement on the bllvcr ques tion. I think that agreement can bo made , but If It Is found Impossible I will still continue tinueto be a republican. I do not Intend to vote the democratic ticket , no matter who Is nominated en cither side. " Senator Carter says : "We are going to got together before the St. Louis convention The silver men are not going to bolt the re publican party. There are many other Issues upon which we agree , and they would hold us together no matter how much wo might differ on the money question. Nevertheless , we western foll&ws'Intend ' to have something to say about Ihe management nnd the po'lcy ot the party.

A serious quarrel has broken out among the transcontinental roads over the division of vhat are known ns cltcle rates that Is , rates going by ono route and returning by another. The origin of the dispute Is the refusal ot the Illinois Central to accept lower proportions on tickets rcadlrg from Chicago to San FrnnclfcoIa New Orleans and returning via Portland and St. Paul than tickets return- ng via the direct routes from San Francisco. : ts refusal in this respect leaves little or noth- : is for the roads from St. Paul or the Mis souri river to Chicago. They declare that ho Illinois Genual thould not be allow ed to sell Pacific coast tickets at short line rates via New Orleans. _ .Tolilril the AHHOclatlon.

The United States authorities have taken a step In the liermuJ.i casa that gives great satisfaction to the Cu bans. Heretofore there has been no legal process In connection with the sclrttre ot the steamship nnd the lighter James S. T. Strnnnhan nnd the lighter's cargo ot arms and ammunition. They were detained under executive orders , the president of the United States haxlng power to act In such cases , but no com t authority had been brought Into le'.iulsltlon , except In the case ot the men for whom warrants had been Issued. James J. Mncklln. attorney for McCildln Bros. , who own the steamer Strannhnn , made i demand on the United States marshal Wednesday for the release of the lighter. Ho was asked to wait until the district at torney could look Into the matter and readily acceded. DIsittlct Attotney Macrarlune last night filed n libel and Information on be half of t'ic government against the cargo ot the Stranahan , described as containing SOO liackages of gun ponder and dynamite , cart ridges and other substances of like character. The action Is brought under sections 1,475 and 4.47C of the United States rexlsed stat utes , which provide for the packing of ex- iloslves for shipment , and a penalty of a fine not exceeding $2,000 or Imprisonment lot exceeding eighteen months , or both , for violation of the requirements , which are that they "shall be securely packed and put up separately from each other and from all other articles ; and the package , box , cask or other \cssel containing the came shall bo distinctly marked on the outside with the name or description of the article con- alned theiolu. " The cases on the Stranahan containing ex plosives arc alleged to have been not thus narked. The libel notifies nil concerned to ippear Match IT before Judge Brown , In he United States district court , to show cause why the packages described should tot bo seized and forfeited. Speaking ot the case , Horatio S. Reubens of general counsel for the Cubans said : "Tho ctlon of the district attorney shows tint tc has abandoned the Idea of acting on the ground of Infraction of the neutrality laws lo thus Introduces a novelty In such cases. 'here was no warrant for the government's rtlon on the lines followed , because In all 335s that liavo gone before based on the neutrality laws the government has failed.

The Post's Washlng- on special says : Beyond n question the Jnlted States Is nearer war than It has been or many years. The temper of congress Is trongly In favor pf active Intervention for ho independence of Cuba , and without a oubt Is prepared to commit this govern- lent to extreme measures In support ot ! iat position.

The American spirit has been o thoroughly arqused that corgrean and the president feel that they have a practically unanimous endorsement In aiding the revo lutionists , and Jt 1 $ only a question of a few hours when there will be an open decla ration to the effect that Spain must either terminate hostilities on the Ham ! or admit the Independence of the Insurgents. The first Impulse was to put politic ? ahead of national patriotism and to confine the glory of the resolutions to congress * . But the termendous enthusiasm with which the move ment lias been received by the country at laige has very much broadened the view a of the leaders of both branches of congresi and there Is a manifest willingness to make the re'olutlons Joint In form , so as to permit the president to participate In the perform ance. wnsTisn.v pnxbioAS.

Cos The connection Is evident Eoa ( the sun ) could bo no brighter than this substance makes whatever It touches , and as the rayi of the- sun give life to allen on earth , 9 } will this newly-found article for the launchy work glvo health to the pkln and rejuvenate all It comes In contact with. ICIUIC'S KOS ( i : MX III Ol ? SOAP ) . The ainiiy IMirnoMCN for \Vlilcli ItYn UoNlKitci ! . Kos was designed to bo a perfect wnsh- Ing compound ; a preparation that would do tha family washing better than It had over been done before , with less labor and with out the UEO of a particle of soap. To ac complish such wonderful results the bsst equipped laboratoty In the United Slates has been bending every cffoit for years past. Wo belleva that the public Is fully aware that when a piece of goods passes the cruc'al tsst of the chemist In charge , of .this exten sive laboratory and the preparation oincrces from the factory bearing tiio name and trade mark of Jame ? S. Kirk & Co. , that It must be as near perfect as modern science can ina-e It. Among the other advantages Has has over any washlnc powder on the world's market today are : That a llttlo Kos In the water makes It soft and velvety. Anyone putting their hands In water prepared with 1-os will almost Immediately exclaim : "My , this water feels like satin ! " Wo also guarantee that l os will prevent flannels and woolens from shrinking a par ticle , and that If you wash your flannels In water In which Eos Is used they will como out ot the wash soft , fleecy and white. For all scouring and denning purposes Eos oc cupies a pre-eminently first position. Use Eos to wash your dishes and for gen * eral kitchen work ! Use Eos to scour your milk pans ! Use Eos In to clean your paint ! Use Eos In your bath !
