WASHINGTON," Feb. 11.—Mr. Quay’s res
olution to recommit the tarifi . financia
bill was expected to be brought to a fine
issue in the senate today, but there was 1
small attendance when the senate opened. ’
Mr. Cameron (Rep. ., Pa.) ofiei‘ed tht
following joint resolution relative to th-
termination of the war in Cuba:
“That whereas the president of thg
‘ United States in his last message to thi:

.. favorablejmonsideraticn of ..the- Spanish

Quay’s Resolution Goes Over.
Mr. Quay .called up the resolution to re-
commit the tariff finance bill._ Mr. Gor-'
man suggested that the subject go over
until tomorrow, and Mr. Quay assented,
owing to the pressure of. other business.
On the request of Mr. Call (Dem., Fla.)
the Cuban question was made the Special
order of business after the disposal of the
urgent deficiency appropriation bill.
Mr. Thurston (Rep., Neb.) called atten-
tion to published reports that he was the
author of a bill recently introduced giving
pensions to ex-slaves. The senator ex-
plained that the measure was introduced
by request, and he was entitled to no
credit for it. He believed, however, that
the government assumed a just moral ob-
ligation when it called a people from bond-
age, not only to the privileges but to the
responsibilities of freedom.
With the routine business cleared away
Mr. Smith (Dem., N. J.) addressed the
senate on the Monroe doctrine. There was
special interest in the senator’s speech
from the fact that he differed radically
from his New Jersey colleague (Mr. Sew-
ell) and also from the report that Mr.
Smith had ‘conferred with executive offi-
cials concerning the pending resolution on
the Monroe doctrine.
Senator Smith's Speech.
Senator Smith announced that he was
opposed to the adoption of the resolutions
introduced by his colleague, Mr. Sewell,
and quite as strongly opposed to those re-
ported by the foreign relations committee,
and he supplemented these two assertions
with the remark that he had very little
sympathy with the position assumed by
the senator from Colorado, Mr. Wolcott.
There was, he argued, no occasion for any
action of any kind upon this subject by
the senate at this time. Both houses of
congress, by the passage of the resolution
‘ providing for the appointment of a com-
,mission to determine the true divisional
line between .Venezuela and British Gui-
ana, had done all that the president and
secretary of state, charged with the re-
sponsibility of diplomatic negotiations
‘with other powers, desired and all that the
. their independence.
people expected.
“We have,” said he, “done all that ei-
ther prudence can justify or patriotism de-
mand. We have met the situation out-
lined to us by the president in such a man- .
nor as to show that there is no division of‘
sentiment in the government of the United
States when any question of national hon-
or is involved. It is not only unnecessary
but unwise to either qualify or intensify
o'ur action thus taken in response to both
an executive and a public demand. ”
Later on in his speech Senator Smith
said: >
“The Monroe doctrine does apply to the
controversy between Great Britain and
Venezuela quite as truly and quite as
justly as if the flying squadron were now
in a Venezuelan port demanding the sub-
mission of a people who have achieved
To define the meth-
' ods bywhicha foreign power may accom-
» to every power in the civilized world that
plish its purpose by evading technicalities
is to nullify the American principle upon
which we take our stand. ”
The proper way and the only way to ap-
ply efiectually the MOnroe doctrine in
dealing with foreign powers was to apply
it to each individual, case, as that case
might arise.
The ringing message of the president of
the United States, promptly supported by
the unanimous vote of both houses of con-
gress and by the unanimous sentiment of
the country, was, he said, sufficient notice
the Monroe doctrine was a fixed principle
otthis government, to be maintained in'
' all cases and at all hazards.
believed the people were satisfied.

. Proposed Sugar Legblation.‘
Mr. Lindsay (Dem., Ky.) gave notice of
anamendment to the house tariff bill pro-
posing to repeal the provision of the pres-
--.Adver_ti_.se in the VGazetteii' ’

all discolored sugars“
Consideration was resumed of the r'esov
lution directing the secretary at agricul-
ture to carry out the law for the distribu-
tion of seeds, and Mr. Vest (Dem. , Mo. )
renewed his criticism of the secretary.
The senator called attention to a pub
lished interview with
plying that the president would veto this
resolution if congress passed it. In view
of these statements, Mr. Vest said, the
president should have full information of
the subject, and he preceeded to show from ,
agricultural department reports that he
had himself, though opposing this seed
law, “used the apprOpriation for his own
purposes” by making excessive seed dis-
tribution in his own state of Nebraska.
‘ It had received in one year 221, 964 pack-
ages of seeds, or 150,000 more than its
quota.
In another year designated by Mr. V est,
Nebraska received one- -ninth of the entire
seed distribution of the country.
“It is enough,”‘ declared the senator,
“to make the star eyed goddess of re-
form hang her head and blush for shame.”
If the law had been prostituted, who
had done it more than the secretary of
agriculture? asked Mr. Vest. If the sec-
retary could strike down a law, even as to
the distribution of seeds, then it must at
last result in destroying the basic doctrine
on which the republic was founded.
Mr. Vest ofl'ered asubstitute resolution,
directing the secretary of agriculture to
purchase and distribute seeds as in pre-
vious years and to procure them by open
purchase of contract.
In the House.
The desk of Mr. W. H. Crain was draped
heavily with black when the house‘recon-
' vened today. On the desk lay a beautiful
bunch'Of white hyacinths, lilies of the val-
ley and roses. Mr. Crain’s death came as
a shock tohis colleagues. ‘
The debate on the bond bill proceeded
until noon. Mr. Hainor (Rep, Neb.) spoke
in favor of nonconcurrence in the free
coinage substitute and Messrs. McDear—
mond (Dem., Tenn). Calderhead (Pop.,
Kan.) and Skinner (Pop., N. C.) for con-
currence.
Mr. Dingley (Rep., Me.) endeavored to
reach a new arrangement about the bond
bill debate. He asked that tomorrow be
given to the District of Coluflnbia commit-
tee, the next day to the continuation of
the bond bill debate and that the next day
the debate proceed under the five minute
rule until 4 o clock, when the vote should.
be taken. There was no‘ objection.
Mr. Sayers (Dem., Tex.) then made the
formal announcement of the death of his
’ colleague and offered the usual reselutio'ns,
which were unanimously adopted. A com-
mittee consisting of Messrs. Pendleton of
Texas, Crowley of Texas, Kyle of Missis-
sippi, ,McDearmond of Tennessee, Miles of
Maryland, Milnes 'of Michigan, Leonard of
Pennsylvania, McCleary of Minnesota and
Murphy of Illinois was appointed by' the
speaker to Iaccemuany'the’body to Texas,
. 'aftenwhich the house, as afurther mark
of respect, adjourned until tomorrow.

mhch interesting testimony.
Sir Edward Clarke, Q. C., M. .P., for-
