The nest thing In the Hue ot prog rets is tho unloycle.

Much bad blood was developed In tho sennto yes terday over the Cuban question, and thcro wcro numerous stormy passagci and acrimonious personal charges. I'arly in the day, Mr. Morgan, of Ala bama, called up his resolution declar ing that a state of war exists In Cuba and recognizing both parties os bellig erents. Ho spoke for some time in a dispassionate manner on tho .. solution, but wns aroused by Mr. Hale, of Maine, to a scries of sharp retorts. It led to the declaration by Mr. Morgan that in stead of sending n lawyer to Cuba to Investigate tho case of Dr. Iluis, ns was contemplated, tho administration would do well to send a ship of wm to Havamt to demand rcdrcv. At nnothcr point, Mr. Halo questioned Mr. Morgan's statement that Cuban pris ons wcro "stuffed" with American prisoner!, declaring that the informa tion reaching him (Hale) showed that no such condition -xlstcd. Mr. Mor gan asked from whom this Information came, and then hotly asserted that he knew where it came from and the world knew where It camo from, as the senator front Maine had not denied that ho was in communication with tho Spanish authorities. Mr. Hale In dignantly denied that his information came from Spanish sous ccs and said It was furnished In every item by Ameri can citizens. At this point, two o'clock, tho morning hour Intervened to cut of tho debato and give the right-of-way to the bankruptcy bill nnd Mr. Stew art, of Nevada, took the floor and spoke against the measure.

President Mc Klnley may abandon- his Idea of send ing a special messago to conirrcss ask ing for legislation for the relief of the Mississippi flood sufferers.

All the data in conncctloti with the amount of money the passage of the Hate resolution would pluce at the disposal of the surgeon-general for distribution was not before him and no final decision was reached as to tho message. Should he send In a mes sage, it Is probable that ho will recom mend a specific appropriation of either 8150,000 or S-'OO.OOO, and It Is possible, In tho event ho does not send to con gress a formal message, that he will transmit the Information in his posses sion. Senator Hate yesterday, when questioned on the subject, expressed the opinion that if bis joint resolution should become a law it would afford all tho relief that could be expected from the government. He said that ho had made Investigation and had as certained that this fund which had been set apart from time to time for the suppression ot epidemic" cow amounts to 5150,000.
