Mr White made some jocular remarks on the sub ject of Senator Wolcott's mission as an envoy to Europe, and intimated that it was merely an effort of the Hepubncan party to make the people believe ihafit was anx ous to carry out the pledges mad in ihe St. Louis platform in favor of international bimetallism He said that there won id be no objection to the passage ot the bill, and that the iuiiest chance would be given to redeem Re publican promises, but that the attempt was doomed to certain failure. The commission, he said, if appointe , would never come home, because it would never go abroad; and the Republican party, feeling that its pledges as to in- rnpniitiAndl 1 i motollicm liar) lioon POrri aiA out, would proceed to relieve the people or me general princ pie oi arourauon, in by the addition of more taxes. wfhl he incidentally criticised the tone ' . m r 3 vck c 1ioiiT I Morolon1 a nnii7iijlon Mr. Cannbn said that he would vote "l - w"wuu , for the bill although he regarded it as meM.fuu ,asJcu " entirely too nebulous and lamentably good tor England and Venezuela why weak in leaving to the President discre mot good -for England and the.

If we may claim under it, all our demands must be settled ei her by arbitration or by war. At consider able length he argued in favor of arbi tration as the only rational mode of settlement It was reserved to Associate Justice Brewer of the United: States Supreme Court to arouse the meeting to its highest point of enthusiasm. the chilly winds blowing through the win is of the un warmed theater caused overcoat collars to be turned up and handkerchiefs to be tied over bald pates and shivers lo pass around, but Justice Brewers witty and eloquent remarks caused even the inclemency of the weather to be forgotten Justice Brewer, this country, bat of the world. Ap plause "I know judges make mis takes," continued Justice' Brewer, "hav ing been on the bench many years. I know, it is dangerous to submit grave questions to such a tribunal, and if I could see here one of my brothers with whom I have been associated for two years (referring to Justice Harlan, one oi the liehrmg ea arbitrators) I think I " could illustrate that at his expense Laughter But then what arethe errors and losses incidental to arbitration com pared to"the horrors of war? Applause W hat are a few million dollars of wrongful damages in comparison to the sacrifice of thousands of human lives?" Justice Brewer, in his peroration brought down the house by a brief but dramatic poem on "Lost Opportune lties, which, to the surprise of manjof nis hearers, he said had been written by his fellow-citizen, eXwSenator John J. Ingalls of Kansas. He declared in ring ing tones his opinion lhat the United States had now an opportunity which if once lost, might never be regained. Gov.

I am sure that not less ardent than I,,they hope their efforts in the cause of peace will not be in vain. v'Faithfully yours, in Christ, ' "James Cakdinal Gibbons., Other letters were read and other speeches made and the proceedings were closed by the benediction, pronounced by the Rev.

When I say that," continued Justice Brewer, I do not want to be considered as one who who would trespass upon the pre r gative of the Senate to make a careful canvass oi mat treaty, l appreciate fully the woids of the Senator ot Massa chusetts, Mr. H-ar, so recently uttered in protest against pressure for indecent haste. I do not believe in saving to the gentleman charged with the duty of con sidering that treaty that 'you must vote for it.' There is something in my own nature whicn, when anybody says to me you must,' causes something to run up my spinal tolumn which says I won't.' (Applause ) It is the Senate's duty to consider r that treaty carefully, and is no trespass upon their rights for American cit zens to express their views of that treaty. And I am sure there is no one who will more cheerfully accord that right than the senior Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Hoar), whom we all delight to honor In spite of 11 the in timations I see in the press I belie e that the Senate will not declare itself 'in favor of the Uw, but against its enforcement ' They will act upon it with the desire to do the best for the interests not alone of Were Miss Kia Nahaolelena and Mr. Joseph Helelulie, and They Had a Hallelujah Time.
