Thurston of Nebraska lifakes Ilia ' '. First impel-taut Speech on the Mionroe Doctrine. .. WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. —The prayer of the senate chaplain today referred to the appearance of another star—Utah—in the constellation of states and invoked the ' knitting together of the hearts of all the people of the Union for the advancement and glory of our beloved country. Mr. Turpie (Dem., Ind.), in presenting a petition concerning Turkish massacres, addressed thesenate briefly. .Inthe recent calamities, he said, the Armenians were . charged with no revolt. They were charged only with being Christians. Their only crime was that they claimed and exercised the right to worship the divine Creator of the universe. Mr. Allen (Pop. , Neb. ) gave notice of an amendment to the pending silver bond bill, depriving the secretary of the treas- ury of the power to issue bonds unless the authority' is granted by congress. : - Mr. Kyle (Pop. ., S. D.) ofiered a resolu- tion, which-Went over, proposing a com‘ SENATOR THURSTON. mittee of inquiry into certain reports of irregularities in the mailbag branch of the postal service. - Mr. Ledge (Rep. , Mass.) presented a resolution calling on the civil service com- mission for the correspondence with the public printer. from~ July 1, 1895, to Nov ,1895. The resolution went over. 111.131.1113 resolution for an investiga- tion of an arrest of Eugene V. Debs came up, and Mr. Call urged immediate action, saying that the laboring interests of the —country desiredthe inquiry. Mr. Hill (Dem., N. Y.) said that or- ; dinarly he had great respect for the labor- ing people of the country, but he pointed out that no petitions had come from the representatives of these people. He had never heard that they desired this investi- gation. Mr. Hill offered an amendment directing that the whole subject of con- : tempt of court, as enforced by the federal judiciary, be investigated by the committee on judiciary and that a report be made as ' to what, if any, legislation was necessary. _ “Mr. Hill urged that this was a judicial question, and hence proper to be consider-t ed by the judiciary committee. There was no need of mentioning this particular case, as'the United States supreme court had passed on it and congress would not be likely to overrule the supreme court. The question now was as to a ‘legislative remedy for any general evil that might exist. Mr. Allen interposed with a. dissent to ,Mr. Hill’s statement of the supreme court decision. He said the court held it had no jurisdiction to give the relief asked. It did not rule on the merits. Mr. Allen severely criticised Judge Woods, who com- mitted Debs. Mr. Hill said he would not be put into; ' the attitude of opposing an inquiry. He paid a high tribute to Mr. Debs and said the action he urged was with a view of securing appropriate legislative action. Mr. Allen created a flutter of excitement j by asserting that, in his opinion, the ex- press purpcse of referring the resolution to a standing committee was to suppress and kill it. It was-an adroit means of sending the resolution into the "dark caverns” of the senate. ‘ r. Thurston‘s Speech. The resolution finally Went over, to al- low Mr. Thurston (Rep, Neb.) to address the senate on the Monroe doctrine. Ex- cept for a brief pension speech, it was his first speéch since entering the senate, and he was accorded close attention. He said: "Were there nothing at stake but a mere adjustment of a boundary line between Venezuela and , British Guiana, I should hesitate long and seriously before voting to commit this government to any inter- ference. It is difficult to believe and im- possible to demonstrate that our honor is involved. our prestige threatened or our tranquillity disturbed by any disposition which can possibly be made of a distant strip of South Americanmarsh and menu- tain. But, sir, the present question rises high above any Venezuelan dispute. The British prime minister, the accredited mouthpiece of the strongest empire of Christendom, has seen fit to officially de- clare and so advise this government that the Monroe doctrine has no place in the law of nations and is not accepted or rec ognized by the European powers. The challenge thus broadly thrown down by Great Britain must be taken up by this republic or the Monroe doctrine is a The world is waiting to know whether that great declaration of American policy is living or dead. 3 The world is waiting to know whether it is to be respected, maintained and enforced or abandoned and despised. The people of ‘ thlf country expect congress to make an- swer in their behalf. They expect that answer to breathe the same spirit of [for them, changers are not the custodians of the na-- American patriotism as did the answer of 1 “Equul uml Exact Justice to all Men of W/Lutcvc'r State or Persuasion, Religious or Political. ”-—Jcfi“crsou. 'Wholc No. 1288 Ethan All'en at Ticonderoga, as did the anSWer of Thomas Jefferson in the Decla- ration of Independence, as did the Liberty bell of 1776. A Slap at Wolcott. ' “The British position. bluntly, almost insolently, stated by Lord Salisbury, has been reasserted from this floor,‘ clothed in such splendid rhetoric and presented with such fervid eloquence as even to win American applause. I unhesitatingly as- sume that the applause was for the match- less ability of the orator and not for the sentiment of his address. I cannot believe that the views of the senator from Celo- . rado will commend themselves, to-the de- liberate judgment of the American people. They may be satisfactory to the money changers. England can crack the wt.) but, \thank God! the money tional conscience. They may be approved by Wall street, for Wall street represents that powerful foreign syndicate which seeks to dominate the financial and indus- trial policy of this country, but Wall street cannot dictate to the senate of the United States. If our people ever become so senile and degraded as to be willing to list the honor of the nation on the Stock Exchange, to go up or down with the market, it will be time to turn the pic- tured face of Washington to the wall and to cast the sword of Grant into the sea. “I agree with the senator from Colorado that this is no time to stir up public pas- s,ion to appeal to any prejudices that may exist against England, to fan the flame of any incipient war sentiment, but I must insist that this is a time of all others to call forth the highest expression of loyalty and devotion to American institutions. I must insist that this is the supreme hour for a dignified, positive and solemn decla- ration cf the American purpose, clearly, calmly, deliberately stated. The Monroe doctrine was announced by a president of the United States more than seven decades since. For almost three-quarters of a century it- has stood as the established pol- icy of the American people. It is our priceless inheritance from the fathers. We have grown to consider it as much a part of our form of government as the constitution of the United States. The Holy Alliance. “It is not my purpose to treat this sub- ject historically or to review the events wh1ch led to the assertion of this American policy in the message of President Mon- roe. I’could add nothing in that respect to the exhaustive presentation of the sena- tor from Massachusetts. . I have no doubt that the fear of the holy alliance and the knowledge of its purpose had much to do with its formulation and declaration, but there is nothing in the language employed by President Monroe which limits the ap- plications of the doctrine to resistance of the threatened aggression of the holy alli: once. It has been universally considereL and construed as pledging this country to oppose the extension of monarchical insti- tutions in the western hemisphere, and also to protect every foot of American” soil from further invasion, aggression or do minion by any foreign power. If such was not the meaning and purpose of the Men- roe doctrine as originally announced, then it is time now for a clear and explicit re- statement of the American policy. “It' is contended upon this floor that our neighboring republics are not worthy of our sympathy or assistance because of the instability of their established fo1ms oi government and of the ignorant and help less character of their populations. When have the weakness and helplessness of the child ever justified abandonment by tln mother? Unstable and imperfect as may be republican rule on a portion of th. American continent, yet any government that professes to be ‘of the people, by the people and for the people’ is better than the government of kings. And any coun- try which has shown its ability to rid it- self of despotism is worthy of our encour- agement and substantial aid in all its struggles and all its efforts to secure for its people a greater measure of liberty, en- lightenment ”and civilization than they now enjoy.” In the House. During the morning hour in the house several bills were passed by unanimous consent. On motion of Mr. Fletcher (Rep, Minn.) a bill was passed granting to the Brainerd and Northern Minnesota Rail- road company a. right of way through the Leach lake and Chippewa Indian reserve tiohs; on motion 01‘ M1. Powers (Rep. ., Vt.) to authorize the Sons of Veterans to wear the distinctive badge of that order on public occasions. The house then went into committee of the whole, Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio in the chair, andvtook up the consideration of the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill. The bill carried 51, 637,058, being 898, 600 in excess of the appropriation for the present fiscal year. John Oliver Hobbes’ Divorce. LONDON, Jan. 29. —The decree of di- vorce obtained by Mrs. Pearl Craigie, the American author and dramatist, better known as John Oliver Hobbes, on July 4 last was made absolute today.

Untimely Emlifig of an Expeditionto Aid Cuban Patriots. WERE GARCIAS IN COMMAND The Spanish Minister Declares That They Were—Everybody on Board the Steamer J. “Y. Hawkins. Man- aged to Escape In the Boats. _ BOSTON, Jan. 29. ——An alleged filibuster- lng expedition has come to grief. The steam vessel J. W. Hawkins, commanded by Captain Woodrow,s sailed from New York with a party of between 75 and 100 men, bound, it is alleged, for Cuba, where the party was to enter the ranks of the in- surgent army. When the Hawkins was off the eastern end of Long Island, she sprung a serious leak, and the water gained so rapidly on her that all hands were obliged to take to the boats. The men were picked‘ up on Monday morning by passing schooncrs, among which was the three masted schooner Helen H. Benedict, Captain Br'ockett, bound from Norfolk for _Boston with a cargo of coal. The Benedict picked up 25 of the men and landed them at Vineyard Haven to- day, from which place they were transfer- red by the stemnboat Susie D and landed at Wood’s Holl, where they took an early train for New York. They were very reticent about giving particulars of the disaster, and little could be learned from them. The J. W. Hawkins was a steam vessel of 125 tons net and 188 tons gross.’ She was built at Kennebnnk, Me, in 1880, and hailed from Onancock, Va. She has been engaged in the fishing business, but had been lying idle in Baltimore harbor for some months. Two weeks ago Mr. Tonslcy appeared in Baltimore and desired to purchase the steamship for a Mr. Smith of New York. \Vas Garcia In Command? NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—According to a story from Washington, the expedition aboard the Hawkins was under the com- mand of the famous Cuban general Calix- ’ to Garcia and his son Carlos. In response to the request of the Spanish' minister at Washington, Senor Dupuy de Lome, it was said orders were issued by Admiral Bunce to the cruisers Raleigh and Montgomery to put to sea in order to intercept the supposed filibus tering enter- prise. It is understood that the ciders came direct from the state dcpmtment, and in turn from Secretary Herbert of the navy. Then, it is said, the treasury department followed this action with orders to the revenue cutters McLane, Merrill and Col- fax to keep a sharp lookout for the expedi- tion and to intercept it if possible. Minister De Lome said that there was a. . large number Of men on board, besides plenty of arms and ammunition. The Spanish minister declared also that the Hawkins was to touch at Palm Beach, Elm, and take 011 more men and ammuni- tion. It had been reported that Garcia had sailed on last Thursday from Philadelphia “on a fruit steam vessel, and that on the sea he would transfer to another vessel, the Jasof, which was to be the head of a large fllibustering expedition. A Shrewd Plan. A second transfer was to be made 011' Florida keys to another vessel, and the ex- pedition would then proceed direct to Cu- ba. The Spanish minister declares now that this info1n1utlon was published by Cuban sympathizers for the purpose of throwing him 011' the track. He is confi- dent that Garcia boarded the Hawkins at New York, and it is reported that he asked the aid of our government in intercepting. the Hawkins. The officers at the navy department have declined to confirm the report that that was the mission ofthc cruisers dispatched _ by Admiral Bunce. but try to maintain the greatest secrecy in regard to their des- tination. The Spanish agents in Philadelphia and this city have been carefully watching Garcia, but it is thought that he has elud- ed their vigilance. < To Tax Bicycles. _ ALBANY, Jan. 29.—Senator Ellsworth’s bill, authorizing the supervisors of Niagara county to appoint a side path commission to tax every bicycle at not less than 50 cents and not more than $1 a year, to be expended in the erection of cycle paths along the highways, was favorably report. ed by the committee on taxation and re trenchment today.
