He did not approve of the president's mes- sa/30 l-i Its entirety because tt was Impos sible fcr him to grant ouch power to a presi dent as Mr. McKlnley evidently desired. WELLINGTON OPPOSED TO WAR. Mr. Wellington-Old. ) followed IMr. Bacon , and > as , ho arose to speak there , \ya3 a .stir . .In the galleries. The speaker said he was I/thoroughly satUOed tbat there was no good " 'rVflson for/ the Unjjctf States going towai" . .Vh paln. , , NoMvar could bo Justified at ' { .any time bf jy/nation * u-aless on'dlplonutlc ' agencies' had'been"'fthaustetl and ne could jiot see tnat result in the message of the -president ; "I will vote for peace , I wilt stand for peace as long as peace Is possi ble. I do not stand here as an apologist "Tiir.'idc. Spanish pcllcy. I bellevo the people ple ot Cuba had a right to rebel against the 'colonial ' policy of Spata. But wo as a na- " tlon arc outside the situation. We have "nothing to do with the rebellion now going en In1 tbat Island. Mr. Wellington argued that the message of the president has been wholly misconstrued , that Inatead ot an appeal to congress to < \rnctlo war. it was exactly the rcvcrce , but the war frcnxy was abroad and congress was rushing hopelessly into hostilities. "The president , I believe , in his beart feels that war Is not necessary. " He read the clcolog paragraph ot tbo president's mea- ' sage , and , placing hU interpretation upon it. eald that-tbe words Indicated that the ' executive still believed that the armistice jnxintcd io the Ifliucgcnta would yet work out peace. Passing to the Internal dissen sions existing In Spain , he Mid that the United States would be held responsible should tbe Carlisle overthrow the present dynasty , whlcb he hoped would conttnuo many years. Upon the ; , question of the re sponsibility as to the' destruction of tbe Maine , Mr. Wellington passionately said that he could not think that Spain blow up our vessel. "If so , then the responsibility rested | * v upon General Blanco , In command at Ha vana , cad I cannot believe that General B'anca wculd sanction such an outrage. 'Ono ttouch of nature makes the world akin. ' even though the kliwhlp be with a Spaniard. " Mr. Wellington then recounted the deeds ot valor done by Marylapders , and said that while the conservative people of his date agreed with him. that war was not neces sary , they anil himself would be found b'at- tllng with tbe majority. In concluding he said : "If war must be , Maryland will bo with you , but In this fate- < tul hour , oho \a \ tor peace. " TURPIE HAS AN AMENDMENT. Mr. Turple ( Ind. ) , la order to make per fectly clear tbe resolution reported by the minority ot the foreign relations committee , offered an amendment to Insert after the word "Independent" the- follow lap ; : "Aad 'that the government of the United States hereby recognizes the republic of Cuba'as the true and lawful government of that 'Island. " Mr. Cattery was then recognized. "I b-ive teed before on the brink ot war , " ho > iald. "Although young then , I counseled modera tion ; but my opinion was swept to tbe wtndi , nd I was carried along with my people Into the mcst colossal war In the history ot civil ized nations.Our people ! were a unit then If war la to be waged we ought to be a unit now.

" 'Mr. ' Cattery then entered upon a discussion of the Cuban situation , declaring that it was manifest that the power of Spain was slowly dying In Cuba , and that its sov ereignty without our interference would be uwcpt from the Island. Mr. Oaltcry maintained that recognition was an executive and not a legislative func tion. ' "The adoption by the senate of the resolu tions reported by the minority ot tbo for eign relations committee , " be declared , "would be to stultify ourselves , and 'the president would be bound toveto- * those reso " ' * ' lutions. / _ _ Even without Intervention1 on our Dart , if was. the oplnlca ot Mr. Cattery that the isktnd of Cuba would bo free , tha.f.Jn the very na ture of things Spain would have to relinquish its hold in the westera hom'sphere. COMMENDS THE MBSSAGE. IMr. Ha.wley ( Conn. ) pronounced judgment upon the message of the president as one of tha great state papers which , would be Justi fied In the light ot history. He crtlcsed | | the resolutions as presjnted and thought to all Intents and purpcses the house'resolutlon more nearly i cached all the phases of this complicated question than any reported. Mr. White ( Cal. ) said he stood in tbe sen ate to addrra "hlrnoclf to the most momentous question which had ver been brought to the attention ot tbe American people. It was disagreeable to dissent from the cbmmltteo In view to set aside the popular feeling. The senate ita.s here to face a war whjch now must come upon ( ho country , but he thought H not amis ? carefully > to consider the situation which confronts us. "The record here made , " tbld he , "wjll live ca lon ao reason tuad Justice. " No one doubted , he "eald , that the government of Spain bad failed ot Its duty and had mis governed the Island ot Cuba. Nobody doubted the issue of the coming war be tween Spain , and tbe United States th-it the triumph of this country would result was tsrtata. "But , " said Mr. White , 'Vhla nation , with Its 70,000,000 ot people , and Ho great resources , Is great to do exact Jus tice. It hao been well and thoughtfully said that no moro sublime spectacle has ever been presented than that of a great nation sacrl- flclng for Justice Its passion and Its pride. Mr. White declared that , In view of the recent actionof Spaty in making a Virgo appropriation for the relief ot reconcco- trades , and In abolishing tbe edict of con centration. It met tbo only argument ot many. It had met the argument ot many senators In tavor of lioetllltips. Spata had swept tholr footing from beneath thtm , and they no longer > id standing In court. THERE WILL BE NO DESERTERS. In a magnificent peroration he said : "Those of us who dissent from the majority fo so from dictates ot conscience , but what ever resolution Is passed , pledging .tbls country to declaration that history will have to decide whether right or wrong , you will tlnd no deserters in tbe rmp. . You will flnd opinions deep , rooted and firm , per haps , but we are all Americans when that Judgment tat rendered. There Is but one ac tion that can be taken. Shoulder to shoulder , hand In hand , we will march forward with equal step to vindicate the conduct ot that government which we believe to be the beat that Almighty God has permitted at all times , and on the morrow , when It shall come onus , from every housetop In the United States let there be Hung the stars and stripes. " ' Mr. Ilawley Introduced and asked imme diate consideration for the following reso lution : Reaolved , That the president is hereby authorized , In his discretion nnd wlt'n such limitations nnd exceptions na shall seem to him expedient , to prohibit the export of coal or other material used in war from any seaport of the United States until other wise ordered by congress. Mr. Cockrell asked what the cfect ot such a rnsclutlon woud ) be. Mr. Hoar remarked that It would put stop to the export ot coal , and prohibit that going to Spanish ships , which waa ot more value to them then powder. Mr. Pettuii ( Ala. ) mid that aucb a pro cedure was agalnit HTw , and he thought that so radical a measure must be ordered by congress , and that congress should not in vest tbe power in the banda of the presi dent. dent.Mr. Mr. Hoar , realising the force of the objec tion , changed the resolution Into a bill , but It went over upon objection ot Mr. dor- Mr. Bate ( Tarn. ) addressed the ten-ate for a fifteen mlnutca * cpeecb. uktng for the recog nition of the preient government.

Ho had hoped that a peaceful solution of the difficulty might have been found , but al though the president had acted with , a dig nity , equanimity and patriotism seldom equaled , war was at band. The diplomacy ct the entire world could not now prevent It. For the murder of the heroes of the Maine war was the only reparation. Despite tbe belief of some senators , tbo evidence ot our court of Inquiry was such .that lf.lt wer eubmllwJto _ any court In the laud a verdict bf murder in the first degree would be rd- " turned. ' ' ' v v "I + \ , .Mr. Posco ( Fla. ) spoke in favor ct recog nition of the Indepandenco of the Cuban re public. ) He believed , too , that when our troops were landed In Cuba they ought , to act In concert with the forces under General Gomez. The other senator from Florida. Mr. Mai- lory , said nobody desired war It that calam ity could be averted and , he regretted that the president had suspended diplomatic oe- gct'atlona , Tor through them war'might have been averted. > ' Mr. Faulkner ( W. Va. ) thought only one of two courses was open to this country , either to submit to the indignities. Intuits and crimes of Spain or that the American oongrce ? should make such an utterance as would remove every doubt about our Inten tion to present the question for arbitrament by the awprd. The hand of oppression must be lifted from the emaciated shoulders of Cuba. Mr. Wilson ( Wash. ) spoke In favor of-tha majority resolutions. "We went less oratory tory and more powder ; less rhetoric , and more rams. " he said. "Patriotism , " said he , "was higher than these Interests , love of country dearer than the dollars. " Mr. Pottua ( Ala. ) attacked the house reso lution as being unconstitutional. He In sisted that congress bad the right to declare war , and said that the president was in his high office to execute the mandate of congress. He bitterly arraigned 'thepresi dent's senatorial advlserf , saying that the tenate was the executive's adviser , not Ills scnatorl.il friends. "In fact. " said Mr. Pet- tua , "the president has had more advisers than tbe law allows. " iMr. MoBnery ( La. ) said he would vote for tbe recognition ot the' Cuban republic , clos ing his remarks with a tribute to a reunited country as Is being witnessed today. Mr. Gear ( la. ) supported the majority resolution. ' Mr. Galllnger ( N. H. ) read a number ot autograph letters from Cuban military com manders , ahowkig the high patriotism which actuated them in their struggle for liberty. Mr. Elklns ( W. Va. ) said It was plain War was Inevitable and could not 'be avoided. His reasons In opposing the recognition of Cuba were : The Insurgents had not wen their Independence as nations seeking recog nition always have ; tbe Insurgent govern ment la by Its constitution only temporary , and such Tecoznltltw was contrary to Amer ican doctrine for 100 years. He thought the resolutions as presented by the foreign re lations committee ought to be amended &o as to provide that tbe recognition should be given by tbe president the only power that could give It. Mr. Bikini challenged the statements of Mr. Proctor as to the condi tions on the" Island. . , _ Mr. Proctor Will the senator accept the statement ; In the consular reports ? Mr. Elklns I would * thousand times rather accept , your statements , but there are other men , * not , perhaps , so eminent as the senator from Vermont , who report , a state6t affairs entirely different from that reported to this senate. " Mr. Klklca declared that the United .States ought to < take Cuba , Porto Rloo and the Phlllpp'ae islands In order that we might have some compensation for an enormous war debt. If afterward It was desired to give the Cubans , their Independence , he was nllllng , as be had always believed they ougnt to have It. In conclusion , Mr. Btklns paid high tribute to the president. Mr. Clay ( Ga. ) said be was anxious to see the question adjusted without war , tor the people of the south did not want war , but j i i ' as war was now Inevitable he believed In maUln : It on the best resolution offered. These , be thought , were those submitted by the minority. PROCTOR REPLIES TO ELKINS. Mr. Proctor replied to some ot the state ments made by Mr. Elklns. The latter , he said , had received his Information from Mr. i Atkins ot Boston , whose sugar plantations ' had been protected by the Spanish troop * Ho thought It too late now to talk. War was upon us and we ought to meet it with a united front. i Mr. Prltchard ( N. C. ) contented himself with a brief eulogy of tbe president and that he would support tbe house resolution. Mr. Nelson ( Minn. ) declared that the question as to the power of the president to recognise the Cubin republic was irrelevant. Congress had tbe power and ought to exer cise it to accept that brave young republic as our ally in the coming war. Mr. Perktas ( Cal. ) announced himself In .favor of recognising tbe independence of iCubi. The assassination ot tbe sailors ot the Maine was suBtlent warrant tor UK to go to war.

Mr. Hale , who has bee * , the mainstay at the opposition to radical action on the'Cuban question , arose. Hla frst words sounded a warning. "The action the senate Is about to take. " he began , speaking slowly * and Impressively , "places It in a deadlock with the house and the president of tb * United States. It Is remarkable spectacle V" * presenting to tbe civlllxed world. " ; * But h fet no ti > ' f kand Mr. Wolcott was en hit feet , He declared passionately thit Mr. Halo's statement was most Important. Ho tald as c republican he demanded to know upon what authority It was made. "I ask the senator whtthcr ho Is authorized by Iho president to declare that our contem plated action will place us in deadlock with the president 7" Before Mr. Halo could reply Mr. Teller made the point of order that tt was unpar liamentary for a senator to refer to the ac tion ot the other house or the provident. The vlco president asked the rule and aslted Mr. Hate to proceed In order. The latter said he proposed briefly to state the reasons for his opening statement. He did not pretend , he said , to speak by au thority of the president , or know in any con tingency his future action. "Out I know If the motion of the senator from Minnesota prevails , " ho continued , "It will bring the senate Into deadlock with ( ho president as shown by the message ho has submitted to us. " Mr. Teller ngtln called Mr. Halo to order , nnd again tbe vice president hid tbo rule read. Mr. Halo seemed but gtlKhtly dis turbed by thcoo Interruption * ? . Procc-rllag again , he convmoitod upon the remarkable spcotacle the senate presented. "Wo afo not asked to legislate , " ho con tinued , "upm ordinary mattcra , but upon a grave national question that Involves war. It IA proposed here to disregard th leader ship ot the chle < f magistrate. He has left us 'hi ' no doubt as ito the lines of policy which may compel us to enter upon war , If ouch It Is to bo , with Spain. "Ho has told ue that tbe conditions In Cuba are not such as will psrmlt our recog nition ot the republic ot Cuba. Ho baa blazed the policy. The war In Cuba must stop. Nothing Is plainer than that Inter vention Is to be resorted to , and ho auks to bo Instructed to USD the army and navy Cor that purpose. And now , here today , with this policy marked out , with everything o desire about to bo consummated , with freedom to Cuba assured , end Intervention by arms , If necessary , decided upca , the president la to be confronted by the senate's effort to de- flno another policy. Weare to thrust this resolution in hta face , a resolution ho bos docMred he dots not bi > 'icvo ! In and docs net Wot. The chief executive la the nearest appioacn to a ruler this country too AS. Shall he be opposeil ? " CONSERVATISM MELTS AWAY. Proceeding , Mr. Halo expressed tbe deep senseot regret with which he had , In the last few days , witnessed the melting away ot the spirit of conservative sentiment In the senate. Senators who had opposed the recog nition of the independence of Cuba had one by one and day by day come Into line for that declaration. He said he had wondered why It was so. and he. had found the solu tion cf the problem In a banquet given on last Wednesday night In this city to W. J. Bryan. With ereat sarcasm he proceeded to read from an account of the speech made on that occarlon by Mr. Bryan and to allege that It was responsible for the sudden unanimity of sentiment upon the democratic side of the chamber. Many of the democratic senators ga\o manifestations of their approval as Senator Hale was reading the account of the speech. The ffalhllflcatbn of the democratic party. Mr. Halo continued , was not to be attributed to- any caucus or ccaventlon action but Ho this oyrcpcislura. But all this cl.tempt to make politics out of the altuatlca , ho con tinued , would not succeed. If war oame It uould not be conducted by the democratic party. The country would net tula tothat / party , and the flag of the UnHed States \\ould not be carried by thai party , but by that gallant soldier and states man , ithe president of the United Suts' : . He would conduct the war and bring It tea a successful conclusion. Itie democratic senators and democratic party , which co r seemed so Intent upon hcaMlltlcr-J with Spain , would be found , when war was actually upon us , Impe lns aad obstructing l.he couruo of thcoe who were now seeking to avert war with all Its horrors , but who would then be , in the fore ( rant fighting -for the honor of their couo- T * ' f . 'Mr. Gorman , ( Md. ) followed Mr. Hale , and By his njanner.i'by ' fine vehemence of his Ut terances , showed bow greatly he felt the giUvfty of tbe situation. Ho counseled a temperate policy and. Invoked that rancor of debate bo eliminated from the occasion. He criticised the attacks made by senators upon the president as the commander-ln-'chlef ' ot flhe army and travy , and forcibly declared that party politics should give way to a higher duty In the determination ofthe question. . Hp questioned the wisdom of the resolution as adopted , and hoped that wiser counsels would prevail. ASKS AUTHORITY TO STRIKE. The message of the president , he raid , read to him as a declaration bf a man who had exhausted all diplomatic efforts to bring peace out of chaos , and now came to con- gresa for authority to strike tbe blow that would give tbe Cuban people freedom from years of misrule. "Every loyal democrat , " he said , "would be found behind the presi dent , not as a democrat , but as American citizens upholding -Uie hands of our great commander in the war now almcst upon us. " He Mild that the open criticism of the presi dent was to bf deprecated , and he wished the record aa made up might be blotited forever and only a united people shown up permost to the world HP clcaed amid pro found stillness , end the occasion was worthy a place in the history of nations. He said : "I pledge myself to forget that McKlnley W Q elected by the republican party because I know , and bellevo , .that as president of a united people he will bear his country's flag aloft , and Ifiat co nation , Spanish or otherwise , will receive from his aught else than that fair , manly and bravo treatment of an American president. " 'Mr. ' Allison ( fa. ) , seemingly laboring under Intense excitement , said that uo man could doubt his loyalty to the country or the flag , but be ser'IC'Uuly ' doubted the wisdom of doIng - Ing that which bad .been a question ot con- trovers/ since the days ot Washington down to the present time , an assumption of con gress to declare the Independence of a nation In contravention of the well known principle of International law. ' He said the amendment bad been forced Info the resolution in the face of the fade that the president did not counsel or even advise such action , < but on the other band had declared emphatically against It. He said the present Cuban republic was but a skeleton government , and under the forms prescribed might with entire propriety. In Us own good time , enter Into a convention with Spain to the cxciuslcn ot the United BCatcs. ' He argued that tbe republic of Cuba should be recognized by treaty , the Initiative to be taken by tbe president as Is bis lawful right. , thereby making a case for ourselves t at tbe 'rations ' of the world could not question , He outlined the disagreement probable be tween the two bouses , nd guardedly hinted at tbe conference which would be necessary and from which would come a resolution upon which the representatives of all parties could unite , and * which In the light of his tory now making would stand tbe assaults of international law. EXPECTS SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION. Mr. Aldrlch ( R. I.-said while he could not vote for a resolution embodying recognition of Independence , he believed' that In some way , eomehow , a resolution would , during tbe next forty-eight hours , be presented that would be satisfactory to the president , the congress ) and the people. In reply to Mr. Aldrlch and to others wbo had lust sooken Mr. Jones ( Ark. ) declared that It was tbo wlrh of a large majority of congress and the people that the resolution adopted should recognize the Cuban repub lic's Independence , sad tbe events leaJIng up to the present situation fully Justified the friends of Independence In asmmlnn tbo po sition they bad taken.
