The. presi dent's message, which he had intended to send to congress yesterday, has not been changed in j any particular and embodies the unanimous! views of the; cabinet,- without fjhe slightest variance or exceptions.

SH&RP: WAR TALK INDULGED IN BY MEMBERS OF BOTH HOtJSES OP CONGRESS.

Senator Allison, of Iowa, in charge; of the hill anode a point of order against the amendment. This called "out a .bitter speech' toy Sen ator (Morgan, of Alahama, who 'charg ed the appropriations committee with discriminating against proper measures .'.na threatened... to assist -In, dissolving-' the committee. .- . . . ' '"As for the. threat implied hy 'the . senator from -Alalbama"- interjected uen ator Allison hotly, "if 1 know myself, I do mot crave the ,work that is now imposed upon me (by the senate. If the senate wants to dissolve the comr rn'ittee, it may do so without -delay." Senator Morgan, resuming the discus sion, said that already we heard of a great coal comlbine . that is to control the prices of coal to Ibe supplied, to 'the government at southern ports, die hoped the report was not tEue, -but he reanzea, ne said, the opportunity for- such treasonable spoliation . of the gov ernment, ne pointed out some of ' the advantages of opening the coal lields of the South 'by the movement suggest ed in tne pending amendment. The government -would thus be enabled to obtain its coal in any auanities at rea sonable rates near the theatre of action in case of hostilities. "I do not know.' Mr. President, whether war is coming. or riot," said he," I have never myself done anything that anight involve this country in walfvhut It-seems to me that the sworn tes pony now before the sen ate is sufficiently strong , to compel us to strike in detense of the honor and dignity of the country, arid in memory u-jl wur; ueau, seaanea snrouceu. ' m- tne mud-of Havana harbor. J am willing to vote for a declaration that may in volve us in hostilities, 'because 1 .believe mat we have a just cause." : Esenator uviorgan was of the ODlnion that if a railroad company had. ib rough t the amendment into the senate it would have passed without a murmur of dis sent from the connmittee, and he did not think that, in he present circum stances, there should Ibe the slightest hesitation to pass it, because, although H had not received the approval or any cuumuuse, n naa receiv.ea k tne sanc tion of the secretary of war. "I am willing," said he," to do anything' that will succor the United States navy and strike down the monopoly that seeks to prey upon the government." Senator Allison had a telegram, read from Secretary Alger, saying that wnile he was willing that improvement should ; ibe Wade, the money to be ex pended within the . discretion of the secretary of war, he thought the outer bar, Should be left for-; the present so as to prevent the too ready ingress of foreign hostile ships. '--It is .better not," the secretary's, dispatch read," to open any .deep -harbors that would admit warships. (It would hiakei. simply one more piace to guara." , v ,, . : . On this telegram the chair overruled Senator Allison's point of order: j and submitted the nuestion . to the senate whether the amendment -should toe con sidered. . !i - ': - 1 ;!'. ' .n aye and no vote;was taken on thi3 proposition and resulted in the negative 19-S3. The vote had the effect of rul ing the amendment out of-order. . At 2 o'clock the 'bill -was laid aside and Senator Walthall, IMississippi, pre sented resolutions on the death of his late colleague. Senator James Z. George anc? eulogies were pronouncea on mm by several senators. At 4 o clock, as a xurtner mark or respect, the; senate , adjourned' until Monday.; ; H?USE 1 OF REPRESENTATIVES. . There was a scene of igreat excitement in the house late this afternoon during the consideration of the.lbill cor the re organization of the army. If was caus ed- hv Mr. Lentz. an Ohio uemocrat. who made a vigorous assault on the ad ministration, charging that the policy of delay was in the interest of stock jobbers in W411 street. He alleged that Wall street was in the possession of i: formation .'that the message -would not go In long hefore it was known at the capitol and profited heavily by the ad vance In the price Of stocks which re sulted.' He even charged- that mere was no warrant f or the alarming state :. .--nts aibout the eituation toHavana, whioh were made as a justification for the delay"; of the message. Mr. Lentz"s speech created a profound sensation arid was met with an em phatic replj from General ' Grosvenor, now generally regarded as the adhiiri istration's spokesman on the floor. Mr. Grosvenpr said a message from General Lee was received on Tuesday and another received on yesterday Which was very urgent. He said the second was an appeal for time. Speaking of the note of the powers (M. , Grosvenor said the president's reply put an end" without Qualification to every delay or interference from the powers.. Mr.MlcMillin asked Mr, Grosvenor ' Jiat ihe latest information was as to the president's .policy.- In reuly Mr"-. Grosvenor askea ,jr. McMillin f -' latest information as to the controlling power" on the democratic side . next Monday (Laughter and applause.) - "I .know What power is con trolling on your side,".: observed -'Mr. McMilltn. "that power.; is Mark Hamna," (Jeers oni repuiblican side.) ; , Mr. Grosvenor defended Senator Han-, na, calling attention to the senator's denial that he had ever 'bought a share of stock on Wall street in his life. VCan he say tne same xning aiooux Votes?" asked Mr. McMilliai- amid de risive laughter from., the democratic side; :. ..":':-. ',;' -:- ' . '. ' .- Mr. Grosvenor declared that J ohn Mc Oook was wittingly in a great con spiracy to secure the independence of Cuba and validate 4uu,uw,uw or uuoan bonds. : These honds, he said, would he destroyed if Spain, were driven out. of Cuba in the interest of American neoDle.' He declared that he h4d been told thatfca .gentlemen in iNew York was "short - of the market iDerore. tne crisis came to suci3 an extent that ruin star ed him in the face. Since then the gentlemen had neglected no enterprise to nromote war. He declared that there was no evidence that the'Tresi dent had faltered. Mr. Lentz's alle gation that -the president had acted in the interest' of stodk speculation, he said was a terrible' onslaught. ought, if the -president were guilty, to reznilt In his Impeachment. It was in-famous.'-Such a charge in the old days wnrivid have sent Its author to the block. : Mr. Lentz-denied that he had.'d r the president was seeding i fiwuwib stock speculation. . In concluding Mr. Grosve0ji said he was delighted -that , tnia assault had. been made Upon th president because it disclose the. plans of the opposition. It" was bow apparent that the demo crats proposed to take, political ad vantage of every situation. (When the opposition c-peqed, a recruiting station or republican volunteers to fight the administration, ih& said, - they would have little use for their quarters. It was infamous, he . said, that the cable should carry, to Madrid. tbtet- the news that the president motives bad been -impugned and Integrity as sailed. - . ' I have no more doubt that we shall go to war.V Mr. Grosvenor said than that I -will live until next .week- 1 may be mistaikenI pray God I atn, "but! he. lieve we shall go to war practically upon the declaration of congress. If it Is averted. ' it must - he by Spain." Great applause.) '., i ; After Mr. Grosvenor concluded his remarks Mr. 'Bailey toolk the floor! In a brief, speech; 4n which he quoted several utterances of Mr. Grosvenor . to show that the Ruck Eye statesman had shifts ed his position. Then turning his at tention to some of Mr. Grosyenor's re marks Mr. 'Bailey indignantly repelled the idea that If war came it was to be a republican war. "It would .be a war of the. people i of the United States against "Spanish tyranny on the island of Culba," said he amid tumultous ap plause.; ' ; A great deal: of opposition developed during the day to the army hill. Mr. Hull tried to save the bill. , by agreeiifg. to strike out all Its provisions, even the three Ibattallon function; features but it was in the. -end recommlted 150 to 61; i ' " .'. " . .
