A FIELD DAY OF ORATORY
Mr. H.?lc I'rjps tin- Senate t?i
Policy or the Ailui'.nMni
House Unseat* Mr. PIo
or Alabama.
(Hy Telegraph.)
!W ASHIN?TON, Feb. 9.?For m u
than three hours today the Senat
chamber rang with eloquent atppea
in behalf of the Cuban insurgent
Announced speeob.es were delivered I
'Air. Cannon, of Uta'h, and Mr. Ma, o
o'f Illinois, in advocacy of the adopth
of resolutions which t'hey pr senti
yesterday. Following 'Mr. Cannon
speeah, Mr. Hale, of Maine, address?
the Senate briefly, urging the 'Senate
uphold the policy of the administri
tion.
Long before Mr. 'Cannon rose to a,
dress the Senate, the galleries we
.packed with people who were ana
that this would be a field-day of Cub,
oratory. Mr. Cannon's speech was
calm and dispassionate argument
support of his resolution.
While IMr. Cannon was speaking
sensational incident occurred. A met
ber of the House of Representative
standing near the Speaker, audibly d
nounced as a lie. seemingly some stat
merit Mr. Cannon had made.
?Mr. Cannon, tpale with feeling, ma,
reply to what tit the moment seem
an insult, but which was subsequent
satisfactorily explained.
'Mr. Mason followed Mr, Hale In a
long and at linn s fierce speech in which
he urged the President immediately to
intervene in the Cuban war, and end
the struggle which on both sides bad
become so brutal as to shock uhe sensi?
bilities of the civilized world.
Mr. Butler, of North Carolina, pre?
sented an amendment to the constitu?
tion enabling Congress to lay and col?
lect an income tax.
Mr. Morrlll, of Vermont, called tip
his joint resolution authorizing the
gilding or the statue of Liberty in the
dome of the capital. The resolution ap?
propriates $7.000 for the proposed work,
and after a short discussion it wa.
adopted, 30-22.
The resolution offered by Mr. Can?
non, of Utah, vesterday, urging t'he
(President to 'notify Spain tli.it If it fail
to recognize Ohe independeni.t' Cuba
before March ?!. next, this govern men ?
would then recognize the belligerent
rights of the Cubans, and In ninety
?days thereafter assort the independence
of the 'Cuban republic, was then laid
be-fore the Senate-, and Mr. Cannon was
recognized.
In opening, Mr. Cannon, replying to
the criticism of a New York newspaper,
said that gomet'hlng more harmful than
of the Cuban question, Mr. Cannon
said:
"I charge now that theipurpose of the
administration is In consonance with
the wishes of the Spanish bondholders,
and before peace Is secured in Cuba
security for the payment "f tin- tremen?
dous debt of $400.000,000 must be give:;
by the blood-stained Island. That. 1
say. appears to be too- wish of the ad?
ministration, and, I may say. .if Spain."
I.Mr. Cannon .-aid that President Mc
KInley's signature to a document would
set the 'Cuban people free. "What." he
asked, "is it that stays th.- hand -o' Mc?
Kinley?"
.^_jM_r,_Cannon maintained that it was
no anbt'lt'f satisfactory to tin- Cuban
patriots or to the sympafhizers with
them that the battleship Maine sfhould
be sent lo Cuban waters. Above all.
It waa no satisfaction to see the stars
and stripes dipped to the Spanish en?
sign. 'It is no answer to those in wait?
ing for something effective .and fraught
with results, that th.- administration
should'have under consideration at tt.i.
ciprocal trade relations with tlheSpanish
government relating to the island of
Cuba.
In conclusion Mr. Cannon maintained
that the present policy of the admin?
istration was to hold Ho- Cubans while
Spain outraged und pillaged the island.
"I -believe that oik- strong, brave word
spoken in time will absolutely free
Cuba, and I am firmly tin- belief thai
?t'he result of such a word would not be
war between Spain and tin- United
States."
Mr. Hale followed Mr, Cannon with
a motion to refer the Cannon resolu?
tion to t'he committee on foreign rela?
tions, and with a speech deprecatory of
the policy of Congressional declaration
on the Cuban question, and in support
of the course of the administration on
that subject.
Mr. ."Hale spoke of the release of all
Americans frmin Spanish prisons, the
recall of Weyler, and the establishment
of autonomy in the island as showing
what Ohe IPersident had accomplished.
He did not agree with .Mr. Cannon that
the people at large wanted war. The
motion to refer was adopted without di?
vision.
Mr. Mason was then recognized. "1
deny," he said in opening, "the insinu?
ation t'hat t'his is an effort" lo put the
administration in leading strings.
"1 am charged with seeking war." ex?
claimed the Senator, "but my resolution
is for peace. One word from this ad?
ministration wiuld bring peace to this
continent, and under the Providence of
God.'we believe it would bring inde?
pendence to Cuba."
The thumb-screws of the inquisition
were again brought into use in Cuba,
proceeded Mr. Matron. .The pinchers
-that tear the flesh from 'human bones
'have contributed to the carnival of
cruelty. Three thundred thousand peo?
ple marching to the grave. Three hun?
dred thousand more starved: An-! yet
the cry was raised that war was being
sought, when the on.- and only cry was
for peace and an end to this atrocity.
'Referring t., the duty of the United
States. Mr. Mason said:
"This government ought to maintain
that the horrible unassaccs which are
now too common in the island of Cuba
and conducted under the guise of war?
fare must lie stopped. We have no
right as a neutral nation, fully regard?
ful of the rights of nil.to look upon such
warfare as within any reasonable con?
struction of international law. The
flag of truce has b.-en abandoned, pris?
oners of war are being shot and it is
evident that no one rule of civilized
warfare is being observed. The con?
flict has developed into a mere matter
of murder on both sides?prisoners of
war being shot or mache ted without
triaiV;
"He referred briefly to the tr.p tool,
by Captain General Blanco through the
island, riding as he did ride, in an
armored ear under a heavey escort
Spanish troops. "Thus he -.vent," de?
clared Mr. Mason, "leaving men, wo?
men and children to starve while t'he
funds which were placed in his bands
to relieve the distress of the reconcen
trados and paciftcos were being used !??
appeal as bribes to the Cuban leaders.
"Now that the Spanish forces have re?
fused open battle." said -Senator 'Mason,
"the only hop- of Spain is :?. overcome
the Cuban leaders 'by bribes."
He read a letter from an American
woman who is a mother superior in a
convent in Havana, to a friend in this
country, picturing the condition of af?
fairs there. "The war," .-he said, "bas
destroyed the country, but while it has
made many poor it has made others
rich."
Continuing she said thai Weyler. had
succeeded in killing hundreds of thou?
sands by this policy of concentration.
SDante, he said, pictured with unrivel
ed pen the horrors of hell, but was in?
capable of depicting the terrors of life

I ever heard of relates to a small mad?

LIKE. A BOGUS TRILBY.
She Could Fiddle I'nder Spurious Hypno?
tism as Well as When Not Under It.
A short time since there arrived in Port?
land a young gentleman who is a very
skillful and artistic performer on the vio?
lin. On account of this and other good
qualities, he found a warm weieome in
musical circles, und frequent gatherings
of the musically inclined were held for hin
entertainment and to have the pleasure of
listening to his playing.
On one occasion there happened to be
present nt one of these gatherings n young
lady whom he had not previously met, tied
who was also a performer of no small
merit on the violin. It was arranged
among the party that n joke should bo
played on the newcomer; The evening
passed pleasantly, many beautiful si lec?
tions being played on the piano and other
instruments by members of the party, in?
terspersed with singing and conversation,
the subject of hypnotism being brought
up and discussed nt some length, the new?
comer expressing his total disbelief in this
occult science.
Just before the time for parting he played
with great feeling and taste one of Bee?
thoven's sonatas, which was loudly ap?
plauded. Then one of the party remarked
what a line tiling it would bo if any one
could be hypnotized und made to play like
that. Another, who had expressed his be?
lief in hypnotism and claimed ho possessed
some knowledge of the science, said he be?
lieved he could hypnotize any member o(
the party and cause him or her to plaj
the violin, perhaps not so well as the last
performer, hut passably well. He was nt
once urged to make the experiment, but
no one was willing to be experimented
upon. Finally the young lady mentioned
was, at tho solicitation of her friends, in?
duced to consent to be hypnotized.
Tho usual motions were gone through,
and she gradually passed into the hypno?
tized state. Then a violin and bow were
placed in her hands mid she was directed
to reproduce tho sonata last played. She
went through the entire piece without tin
error, und played it about as well as the
gentleman who had preceded her, to the
wonder and astonishment of all, and espe?
cially to the first performer. He had not
tho least idea that the lady was ti violin
player, and imagined that there must be
mere in hypnotism than ho had supposed.
Ho had his revenge Inter when the joke
was explained to him by remarking that
this was a fair sample of the workings of
hypnotism. ? Portland Oregonin d
