be possible to issue the expected call
for volunteers to-day. ,
The notice of the arrival qf the big

DISCUSSIONS
IN CONGRESS.
Senator Poraker Said the Gov
ernment Has Recognized the
Cuban Republic.
IT CREATED A SENSATION.
The House Passed a Bill Empowerine the
President to Call For Volunteers
and Providing For Their Organ
ization For Three Years.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, April 20. During
the five hours of discussion in the Sen
ate this afternoon of its recent action
upon the Uuban resolutions, :in the
course of which several extended
speeches were made by Senators who
voted against the conference report
upon the resolutions, only one new
point was developed. That was made
by Senator Foraker, Ohio, in the
course of a brief statement concerning
the recognition of the Cuban Re
public's independence. He said: "I
think quickly, speedily, possibly even
now, on the very day when the ulti
matum has been sent to Spam, pur
suant to the resolutions that passed
here, this government has practically
recognized the Republic of Cuba, and
1 think-possibly it is true we will all
know by to-morrow that the govern
ment is to-day being omcially dealt
with by the representatives of this
government, as it should be." .
This utterance, cominsr from a mem
ber of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee, created a profound sensation
among Senators. Being pressed for
the source of his information Senator
Foraker replied that his information
was positive but not othcial.
tattle progress was made with the
Sundry Civil bill upon which the Cu
ban discussion was hung, but in the
last minutes cf the session an amend
ment was agreed to providing for the
payment to Great Britain of the Beh
ring sea award, amounting to $473,151.
Consideration of the Sundry Uivil
Appropriation bill, was resumed and
Senator Cockrell, Democrat, of Mis
souri, continued his speech on the
Cuban question, begun yesterday.
The Cuban Republic
Senator Foraker, of Ohio, called at
tention to statements made in the Sen
tae two vears ago by the present Secre
tarv of Sfate, Mr. . Sherman, to the
effect that the Cuban republic had an
established form of government, ad
ministered by officials Of high stand
ing, character-and ability. He held,
therefore, that if these statements were
true two years ago their truth had
been strongly accentuated since that
time, and that it was further entirely
proper for the United States to recog
nize the government of the Cubans.
in discussiner tue diplomatic nego
tiations between this country and
Spain. Senator Foraker read from a
newspaper clipping what was said to
oe a semi-omciai statement, in eneci
nr r i . a a tt a
that in a formal dispatch sent by the
President to the Madrid government
the attorney general had changed the
term "independent government" to
' 'stable government, " the change being
made because "stable" was the word
of diplomacy to be employed in the
circumstances. When Minister Wood
ford had inauired what construction
was to be placed upon the word
stable" the President nad replied that
it must be regarded as mearang in
dependent." Mr. Woodford had failed
to transmit the President's meaning to
the Spanish government, fearing that
such a statement made omcially might
complicate future negotiations. Sen
ator Foraker said that seemed to De ine
exnlanation whv the independence of
the Cubans had not been officially de
manded bv the President.
Senator Allison. KepuDiican, oi
Iowa, interrupted to say that he did
not think there was any doubt that
the corresnondence with Spain would
show that the President had actually
demanded the independence of the
Cubans.
Senator Teller then concluded his
sneech. holdiner it to be the duty of
all to stand by the country rather than
to seek Dolitical advantage.
Senator Thurston. Republican, of
Nebraska, closed the discussion by
savinc that at 11 :24 to-dav when the
President sierned the Cuban resolu
tions sent to him by Congress the .time
for nartv discussion had ended.
After nassincr the amendment to the
civil bill providing for the payment of
the Bering sea award to Great Britain,
the. Senate, at 5:35 P.M., went into
executive session and soon afterward
adjourned. -House
of Representatives.
The House to-dav passed as an
emercencv war measure the hill em
noweriner the President to call out the
volunteer forces and providing for
thp.ir ore-anization. Both the "Presi
dent and Secretary Alger had urged
the imperative necessity of the passage
nf the bill to-dav and Chairman Hull
of the. Military committee- drove it
through under whip and spur. The
bill was drafted at the War Depart
ment, introduced in the House yester
day and considered, and reported by
the committee to-day. No such ex
pedition could have been possible ex
cept under the stress of war pressure.
The bill is permanent in its character.
There was a tremendous dwhion
stration in the House immediately
after the reading of the journal when
iViajOr rruueu, liic a rcamcui o wawwia
tive clerk, announced the President's
approval of the Cuban resolutions.
The House then went into com
mittee of the whole to consider the bill
authorizing the President to call for
volunteers
Mr. Hull explained that the commit
tee had unanimously agreed that past j
precedents should be followed and the !
Governors of States should retain the j
power to appoint all regimental oth, ,
cers. The joint resolution passed by?j
Congress authorizing the President
to employ the militia lorce oi me
United States, he said, would not meet
the present situation. Hefelt author
ized to say that if we were to fight this
war it would be with the volunteer
and not the militia forces.
Mr. Hull read the following tele
gram he received from Secretary
Alger this' morning: "I hope you
will introduce your bill this morning.
Time is now very valuable. On the
whole, I am inclined to think that re
quiring commissions to be signed by
the President for the militia would be
cause for action and opposition by the
Governors, who naturally might feel
that this was taking some of their
power from them. Can you consist
ently change that, and hasten its pass
age?" . T
Mr. Johnson, Republican, of In
diana, at this point attempted to secure
time to address the House regarding
his attitude on the general situation.
If war was to come, he said, he was
ready to support any measure to prose
cute it to a successful conclusion. But
before hostilities began he thought the
House should give him a chance to
speak. The request met with much
opposition and was refused.
Mr. Handy, Democrat, of Delaware,
opposed the bill because it was pro
posed to pass it as an emergency meas
ure and yet it was to be a permanent
enactment.
A question arose as to whether un
der the provisions of the bill addi
tional legislation would not be neces
sary to permit the President, to call
out volunteers. To meet this defect
Mr. Lacey offered an amendment au
thorizing the President to j raise volun
teers when Congress shall have au
thorized him to do so or when he has
been authorized "to call into the ac
tual service of the United States, the
militia of the several States." The
Cuban resolutions contain, the latter
authorization. The amendment was
adopted.
Mr. McMillin, Democrat, Tennes
see, moved to reduce the term of en
listment of the volunteer forces from
three years as provided in' the bill to
one year. He thought that many of
the young men of the country would
not be willing to enlist for three years.
Mr. null replied that it was not ex
pected that the war would be a long
one unless Spain resorted to guerilla
warfare, but he did not believe a three
years term would terrorize the young
men.
The amendment was defeated.
Mr. Talbert of South Carolina, Dem
ocrat, warned the House that war with
Spain was not a light thing. Gentle-
i .1 . i . j i i i
mow wuo tnougni it, wouia oe ove- m
tew days would be sadly disap
pointed, in his opinion. "I remember
at tb opening of the last war," said
he, "men at the North and Soutlrbe-
lieved it would not last thirty days. 1
heard a man agree to drink all the
blood that was spilled. Every country
in Europe may be drawn into theen
counter before we get through with
Spain." ".'L-
Mr. .Little, Democrat. Arkansas, of
fered an amendment, which was agreed
u, providing mai ine xnaian territory
shall furnish its quota.
Mr. Liinney, Kepubhcau, Morth Uar-
olina, offered an amendment provid
ing- that nothing in the bill should be
construed to prevent companies and
regiments from selecting their own
officers. The power to select officers
to fill vacancies, he said, would be an
incentive to enlistment. The tyran
nous discipline of officers, he said, was
more dreaded by soldiers than the bul
lets and bayonets of the enemy.
Mr. (jfrosvenor, Kepublican.oi Ohio,
vigorously opposed the amendment.
Its adoption, he said, would sow a seed
of sin that would grow up to death.
The Liinney amendment was de
feated.
An amendment was adopted provid
ing for a chaplain for each regiment.
Section 13 was amended so as to pro
vide that the Governors of ; the States,
instead of the President, might appoint
officers of the regular army in the
grades of field officers in the volun
teer arm, such appointments to depend
upon the consent of the President.
The bill was passed without division,
and at 5.15 the House adjourned.

RACE TROUBLE AT KEY WEST.
An Affray Between a Policeman and a
Colored Soldier Causes
Excitement.
Much
By Telegraph to the Moraine Star.
Key West, Fla.. April 20. The
Cuban population literally went wild
to-night, having apparently reserved
its enthusiasm for an imposing demon
stration. The procession marched
through the principal streets of the
town led by a Drassband, which took
particular care to play only American
national airs.
The rear of the procession was
brought up by the better class of Cuban
residents in carriages. The parade
serenaded Commandant Forsythe at
his home fronting the harbor, and the
Americans at the principal hotels.
There were "vivas" and cheers for
Andrew Jackson. General Grant and
President McKinley.
After the demonstration an affray
occurred which shows that considerable
feeline exists against the colored
troops or rather their presence here
Sersreant Williams, of company G.
25th infantry, was with a brother
soldier examining a revolver at
street corner when a policeman asked
him to out the weapon away.
According to the story of the police
sergeant, Williams refused and chal
lensred the policeman to compel him
The policeman drew his revolver but
the weapon missed fire. Meanwhile
the soldier blazed away. He was over
powered before any one was hurt
During the struggle to overcome the
neero several white men struck him
in the face.
Williams was locked up at the city
hall. The police say Col. Daggett had
issued an order forbiddiner the troops
to carry side-arms. The escapade has
raised feeling to a high pitch,; and race
trouble is feared.
Twentv minutes after Williams' ar
rest twentv-five soldiers of the 25th In
f antry, armed with rifles and fixed bay
onets, surrounded the ? residence
j of Sheriff Knight and demanded
j the immediate release of his! prisoner,
i The sheriff was alone and ill. The ne
i gro troops gave him five minutes to
j comply with their demand and he de-
cided that discretion was the better part
I of valor and gave up his man.
Colonel Daggett, when the latter
feature of the affair was brought to his
j attention, said he would investigate it
i thorouffhlv and. if the report were
true, would discipline

COTTON MARKETS.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star,
New York, April 20. There was a
sharp bulge in the cotton market at
the opening this morning with the
bear crowd in complete rout. Trading
was on a tremendous scale for a time
and generally active through the en
tire session. The better feeling re
sulted directly from an unexpected
rise in both spot cotton and futures in
the English market and a further
sharp rise in spot cotton at all south
ern markets. Simultaneous trades in
the pit at the opening showed a differ
ence of from 3 to 5 points with ope
rators very excited. Prices jumped up
18 points on the near months owing
to heavy buying for Liverpool ac
count and by luckless bears. The
later options snowed a gain of 9 to 15
points with the market irregular.
Transactions on the call alone reached
the unusual total of 40,000 bales, while
dealings for the first hour were 117,
000 bales. News from nearly all points
favored the bull crowd who were
jubilant and for a time refused to take
the handsome profits in sight. Later,
evidences of liquidation of Liverpool
started realizing and a sharp reaction
took place. At no time however did
the market show the slightest signs of
weakness. In the afternoon the mar
ket was very feverish with the close
firm at a net gain of 16 to 18 points.
Total sales 327,300.

I was reading an advertisement of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy in the Worcester
Enterprise recently, which leads me to
write this. I can truthfully say I never
used any remedy equal to it for colic
and diarrhoea. I nave never had fo
use more than one or two doses to cure
the worst case with myself or children.
