BAYARD RESOLUTIONS PASS
A Synopsis of the Speeches—Boatner
I nseated—Both Houses Adjourn
Over Intll Monday.
Washington, March 20.-Mr. Morgan pre-
sented a new phase of the Cuban question
to the senate shortly K»fore the adjourn-
ment to-night by offering a joint resolution
declaring that a s^tate of war exists in
Cuba, and recognizing the insurgents as
belligerents. The pending resolutions are
concurrent, while thes«* being Joint, it
adopted, would require the president s sig-
nature. . ^
The resolutions before the senate recel\eo
an unexpected reverse to-day. Mr. Sher-
man sought to interrupt the usual course
of adjourning over Saturday unless unani-
mous consent was given to take the nnai
vote on the Cuban question at a slated
time next week. The unanimous consent
was not given, however, and the senate
voted—12 to &!~to adjourn over to-morrow.
The vote was regarded as an evidence of
giowing opposition to the Cuban resolu-
tions. _ .
Most of the day was given to the <. uoan
debate, speeches being made by Mr. Cat-
fery of Louisiana in opposition, and Mr.
Call of Florida supporting the resolutions.
The Dupont contested election ctee came
up long enough to allow Mr. Allen (P) an
opportunity to express his views against
Mr. Dupont's claim. A number of small
bills were passed.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Washington. March 20.-The opposition
felt to advancing the Cuban resolutions to
a finality was shown to-day by the aban-
donment of the usual business, the sus-
pension of the reading of the journal and
the immediate taking up ot the Cuban res-
olutions. Having secured the right of way,
Mr. Sherman yielded temporarily to Mr.
Allen ot Nebraska to state his views on
the claim of Mr. Dupont. The statement
had more than passing interest, as the
six populist votes in the senate are re-
garded as decisive in the contest, ami this
was the first expression from a populist
senator. Mr. Allen contended that Mr.
Dupont was not entitled to a seat in the
senate without a claim or credentials from
the executive of the state, and that when
this was lacking, as in this case, the
courts of the state would compel the Is-
suance of the credentials by the governor.
Senators Mitchell and Chandler called at-
tention to the fact that senators now sat
in the chamber who did not hold creden-
tials from the governor, and Mr. Mitchell
sarcastically added that this disclosed Mr.
Allen as the "wisest man in the senate."
but Mr. Allen vigorously maintained his
position.
Mr. Gorman moved that when the senate
adjourned it be until Monday.
This aroused opposition.

vailed—42 to I'll.

Mr. Caffery (D> of Louisiana then pro-
ceeded with his speech, begun yesterday,
on the Cuban resolution. In response lo
a whispered inquiry by Mr. Piatt of Con-
necticut. who sat near him, Mr. Caffery
said: "J say in response to any inquiry
that we should not be engaged in denounc-
ing on the tloor of the senate the manner
in which foreign governments conduct their
own affairs. 1 protest against attacks on
the character of foreign countries. I pro-
test against these epithets hurled right and
left at Spain during the debate in this
chamber. 1 take no part in such denun-
ciation, and 1 characterize it as entirely
out of place and not befitting the dignity
of the senate of the United States."
Mr. Caffery went on to say the resolu-
tions were a gratuitous insult to Spain and
almost amounted to war.
At 2.36 o'clock Mr. Caffery concluded ami
Mr. Mills was recognized but declined to
take the floor at this hour, in order that
those opposed might proceed.
Mr. Call then addressed the senate. Me
said there was no excuse for hesitation or
doubt in the course of the government.
At one point when Mr. Call was urging
intervention Mr. Piatt asked:
Suppose we suggest intervention and
Spain does not accept it; what then does
the senator propose that we shall do—go to
war?"
"First, let us make our declaration and
see what effect that has." Mr. Tali said;
"then let us repeal our neutrality laws and
allow our brave boys and men, ready to
risk their lives in the cause of freedom, an
opportunity to do so. That will settle the
question about the war and will settle it
within ninety days."
Mr. Call read a letter recently received
from a personal friend in Havana, telling
of a bloody massacre live miles from Ha-
vana on the 22d ultimo. It gave details of
the slaughter of twenty and imprisonment
of seventeen Cubans. They were sacrificed
in the streets of Havana.
As to the threat of privateering. Mr. Call
exclaimed: "What commerce have we to
prey upon? Privateers can do us no harm.
But there Is no possibility of war."
Mr. Palmer took the floor on the Cuban
resolutions, but postponed his remarks until
Monday.
The following bills were passed: For the
relief of settlers within the indemnity lim-
its of the grant to the New Orleans Pa-
cific railway company; approving the con-
struction of a bridge over the Sulphur
river, Arkansas, by the Texas and Fort
Smith railway company; granting a pen-
sion of $50 to the widow of the late Briga-
dier General Glendenning.
During a lull in the process of passing
bills Mr. Morgan introduced an important
Cuban resolution. Mr. Morgan asked that
the resolution go over under the rules.
\ At 5.40 the senate adjourned until Mon-
day.
•re fore. that in the opinion
f representatives the public
speeches by our diplomatic or consular of-
licers abroad which display partisanship,
or which condemn any political party or
parly policy or organization of citizens in
the Fnited States, are in dereliction of the
dutv of such officers, impair their useful-
ness as public servants and diminish the
confidence which they should always com-
mand at home and abroad.
The house later considered the contested
election case of Broil vs. Boatner. for ihe
Fifth Louisiana district, anil the report of
the majority, declaring the seat vacant on
account ot fraud and intimidation at the
election, was adopted—131 to 5^. Three re-
publicans voted for Boatner.
MOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Washington, March 20.—The debate on
the resolution to censure Mr. Bayard was
resumed to-day under an agreement en-
tered into yesterday to take a vote at 2
o'clock this afternoon.
Mr. Adams of Pennsylvania, who was
minister to Brazil under the Harrison ad-
ministration, said Mr. Bayard's long serv-
ice and commanding: position as an Ameri-
can made his offense the more flagrant and
reprehensible. He read from a speech de-
livered by Mr. Bayard at Wilmington a
year ago. In which Mr. Bayard said: "I
represent no party in my position as am-
bassador to Great Britain, but the whole
pecple." and said this was evidence that
Mr. Bayar I fully recognized that he was
the representative of no party, but of his
people.
Mr. Fairchlld said that Mr. Bayard's ut-
terances constituted a libel within the
deiinltlon of the law. and in view of his
exalted position a high crime against his
country.
Mr. Wheeler (D> of Alabama. In opposi-
tion to the resolutions, made the first ref-
erence to the tariff to-day. He said this
attack on Mr. Bayard came from Massa-
chusetts. a state that believed in protection
for protection's sake. Mr. McKinley had
on this lloor argued in favor of high pro-
tection for Iron cotton ties as necessary to
their production in this country. Cotton
ties had been placed on the free list by the
Wilson bill; yet he read a telegram from
Youngstown. O.. chronicling the first ship-
ment of cotton ties to Bombay. India.
Mr. Hutcheson (D) of Texas said he
would vote for the second resolution, laying
down the well established principle that
our representatives should abstain from
partisan speeches, but he could not vote
for the resolution that censured Mr. Bay-
ard by name.
Mr. Willis (R) of Delaware was the first
republican to announce that he opposed
censuring Mr. Bayard. Like Mr. Hutcheson
he said he would be willing to vote for the
second resolution, but he would not vote
for the resolution of censure. First, pride
would lead him to vole against it. He re-
spected Mr. Bayard as a man of force and
distinction. He did not think, however,
that he betrayed any confidence when he
said thai Mr. Bayard was a born aristocrat
posing as a democrat. His instincts were
feudal in nature. Proceeding. Mr. Willis
drew the members around him in throngs
and aroused great enthusiasm both on the
floor and in the galleries by his eulogy of
the value of the birthright of liberty and
his outspoken contempt lor American
snobs, simpletons and sycophants who dis-
credited their own country and worshiped
at the foot of the aristocracy of the old
world.
Mr. Turner (D) of Georgia closed the de-
bate for the opposition in a strong ten-
minute speech. His theme, like that of
Mr. Bayard's at Edinburgh, would, he said,
be "individual freedom, the germ of na-
tional prosperity and progress
worthy of lhat

HOUSE.
Washington, March 20.—The house, after
a three-days' debate, adopted resolutions
censuring Thomas F. Bayard, ex-secretary
of state and now ambassador to the court
of St. James, for utterances delivered in an
address to the Boston, Eng., grammar
school, and in an address before the Edin-
burgh, Scotland, philosophical institution
last fall. The vote stood J80 to 71 in favor
of the first resolution and 191 to 59 in favor
of the second resolution. Five republicans
broke away from the party lines and voted
against the resolution of censure and six
democrats voted for it. All the republicans
and nine democrats voted for the second
resolution.
Mr. Willis, a republican from Mr. Bay-
ard's state, made a speech ill opposition to
the first resolution, and Air. Bailey (D> of
Texas not only Indorsed the resolutions, but
declared that a man who delivered such
utterances as Mr. Bayard had at
vfas unworthy to represent the
States anywhere at any time.
There was a report about the house after
the resolutions had been adopted that Am-
bassador Bayard would resign, but close
friends of the administration asserted posi-
tively that there was no foundation for
the report.
The resolutions adopted, after i\ citing the
objectionable portions o* Mr. Bayard's
speech, were as follows: \
Resolved, that it is Ihe sense of ihe house
of representatives that Thomas F. Bayard,
ambassador of the Fnited States to Great
Britain, in publicly using the language
above quoted, has committed au offense
against diplomatic propriety and an abu*K
of the privileges of his exalted position,
which should make him the lepiesenuU1
l heme
of lliat noble chevalier. In tones
of contempt he described the triumphant
republican party turning away from its
duty 10 visit its wrath and indignation on
a member of his parly for a trivial act.
What a prodigy! What an exploit in poli-
tics! The question was not whether Mr.
Bayaid had violated good taste in his ad-
dre s. but whether it was in good taste for
the house of representatives to condemn
hi ill for what he had done. Like Mr.
Tuck» r yesterday, lie paid an eloquent
tribute to Mr. Bayard for his services to the
south in the da>s ol her despair, and he
then proceeded to recall again the Chandler
interview and the charges o!' levying on
the protected industries by the McKinley
agents.
Mr. Grosvenor (ID of Ohio tried vainly to
interrupt Mr. Turner.
"You have had your time." said Mr. Tur-
ner. "When you stood over the grave of
General Schenck yesterday defending the
imputations against him you said not one
word about these stories about the agents
of the presidential candidates you favor.
In the face of such a state of things, Mr.
Speaker." he continued, 'i ask iMt Is not
a strange coincidence that the demonstra-
tion should follow the statement as thun-
der follows lightning?" (Applause.)
Speaking of charges of political corrup-
tion he said the "addition" was now going
on; th» "division and silence" would come
later. (Laughter.)
After a few words by Mr. Newlands of
Nevada, favoring the resolution. Mr. Hitt,
chairman of the foreign affairs commit-
tee, yielded the remainder of his time to
Mr. Bailey (D) of Texas, who made
speech in l'avor of the resolutions.
The Edinburgh speech might, he said,
be a breach of propriety, but it did not
warrant these resolutions of censure. The
Boston speech, characterizing the people
of the Fnited States as a violent people,
was much more serious. It was a breach
of good tasie and of diplomatic etiquette,
and was an offense against our common
sense and sound and rugged patriotism.
One hundred years of submission to the
laws repelled the charge lhat the Ameri-
cans were a violent people. Mr. Bailey
concluded by saying that a man who would
express such utterances as those of Mr.
Bayard at Boston was "unworthy to repre-
sent this country anywhere or at any
time." (Laughter on the republican side.)
At the conclusion of Mr. Bailey's re-
marks. Mr. Hltt asked for a vote.
At the request of Mr. Willis the vote
was taken separately on the two resolu
lions.
The first resolution censured Mr. Bay-
ard "in the name of the American people "
the second condemned in general tones the
delivery of partisan speeches by our for
elgn representatives. The first resolution
was adopted-ISO to 71.
The corrected vote shows that six demo-
crats—Bailey and Cockrell of Texas, Cum
mings of New York. Latimer of South
Carolina. Layton and Sorg of Ohio—voted
with the republicans for the resolution
and five republicans—Baker of Maryland
Cook of Illinois, Draper of Massachusetts,
Pitney of New Jersey and Willis of Dela
ware—with the democrats against it. The
second resolution was adopted—191 to 59.
Nine democrats voted for this resolution
and one republican against it. The nine
democrats were: Allen of Mississippi, Bui
ley of Texas, Cummlngs of New York
Hutcheson of Texas, Layton of Ohio. Sorg
of Ohio. Owens of Kentucky. Pendleton of
Texas and Stokes of North Carolina,
On motion of Mr. Dlngiey (R) of Maine
the house decided thai when it adjourns
to-day it be to meet on Monday next.

Duii'm Trade Review.
N w York, March 20.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
eekly review of trade, which Issues to-
morrow. will say: The movement toward
better things is still the exception. There
Is a better business in shoes and small in-
lustiials, and there has been a squeezing
of short sellers in cotton. But the general
tendency of Industries and prices Is not en-
couraging, and those who were most hope-
ful a month ago are slill waiting, not so
hopefully, for the_ expected
BrMdKtrcet'N Financial Review.
New York, March 30.—Bradstreet's finan-
lul review to-morrow will say: Dullness,
ccompanled by depression, has marked
the speculative situation this week. Trans-
actions have been almost entirely profes-
ional, and the market as a whole very
narrow. Some liquidation of long holdings
could, however, be traced, and the trading
element on the stock exchange sold stocks
at times with more or less vigor, although
the increase of the short interest resulting
therefrom resulted in some covering and
furnished the only support to prices lhat
was at all In evidence. The public is ab-
solutely out of the stock market, and Lon-
don's indifference to and distrust of ihe
speculative situation here is no less ap-
parent than in the past. All departments
there were Indeed unsettled during the
early days of the week by the attitude of
the French government in relation to Eng-
land's policy in Egypt, ihough by last
Thursday this situation had improved suf-
ficiently for a bullish movement to assert
itself there. The Interests in American
stocks is. however, of the smallest charac-
ter. and though London bought late in Hie
'k it was in such trifling amounts that
no effect was produced. The fact that for-
eign exchange rates keep steadily below
ihe gold export point does not attract at-
tention. The unfavorable Impressions which
undoubtedly exist In financial circles as to
the present outlook for the business com-
munity necessarily affect the temper of
speculation and check Investment. An-
other factor of some importance Is the
slow movement of corn. The general un-
willingness of farmers to sell at the pres-
ent prices decreases the tonnage and profits
of western railroads and creates a serious
disappointment, which is shown in the In-
active speculation in railroad shares gen-
erally. despite the evidence that the joint
traffic association is working well and that
trunk lines and other roads are conducting
competitive business with a minimum of
rate cutting or friction. Nor is it possible
to ignore tne fact that the approach of the
presidential campaign has an unsettling ef-
fect. and that this reeling is supplemented
by an apparent venturesome move of the
present congress In regard to the country's
foreign relations and its impotency on the
finances and the currency.

Mr. Boatner. the conlestee. and Mr

for the expected recovery.
Causes of continued depression are not
wanting. Bad weather has cut off much
business, especially in country districts.
Some failures of consequence have caused
especial caution. The root of the business
is that in many departments men bought
more and produced more when prices wire
mounting and everybody was rushing to
buy last year than they have been able to
That the buying was of a nature to
anticipate actual consumption for many
months they were fully warned, but they
had more hope than observation and went
on piling up goods. Some are engaged to-
day in th<- same hopeful -anticipation of a
demand which has not yet appeared.
The woolen mills, with prices already re
luced below the present year's lowest a\
erage. and wool 5.3 per cent higher than It
was then, are not getting business enough
to keep the works in operation. Clothiers
have taken many foreign goods; they have
failed to market all tiiey produced last fall,
and they hope to carry a host of retailers
whose stocks are not yet sold. Sales of
wcol were the smallest In any week for
years, and in the three weeks of March
nave been 9,997,400 pounds, ol which 4.751.000
pounds were domestic, against 17,105.876
pounds in the same weeks or 1892, of which
11.X86.626 were domestic. The demand for
dress woolens Is still quite fair.
Sharp declines in prices of cotton goods
is the comment of mills on rising cotton.
Goods now average lower than since May,
1S!>5. Print cloths have declined to 2l,4c,
which is only l-16c above the lowest price
on record. The accumulation of goods, In
the face of the slack and rapidly diminish-
ing demand, has brought about the closing
of one of the largest mills, and others are
considering.
The iron industry shows but a slight
average decline 1n prices, as dealers still
remain on the highest prices of last year,
quotations are deceptive, because lowi
prices are constantly made to secure busi-
ness.
Speculation in cotton has caught short
sellers in trouble, and just because they
thought prices must go lower the shorts
are forced to put them up. Such a rise
may go on without regard to supplies or
demand, but neither the government report
of last w eek nor th? I all of goods nor the
closing of mills give reason to expect more
than a speculative rise.
The market in wheat has been weak,
though rather stagnant, but the weight of
facts is felt, as the western receipts for
the three weeks of March have been 8,982,-
4X1 bushels, against 5.624,924 lost year. At-
lantic exports, flour included, also show
a decrease amounting to 4.408,064 bushels
for three weeks, against 5,097,018 last year.
The movement of corn continues very large
and prices have declined lc for cash.
Failures for the week were 261 In the
United States, against 278 last year, and 49
in Canada, against 35 last year.
BradntreeCii Trade Review.
New York, March 20.—Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say. The general trade
throughout the United Stales for the first
quarter of 18% is disappointing. When
the Improvement in industrial and commer-
cial lines between March and September,
1895, is recalled, occurring as it did two
years after the panic of 1893, reason would
seem to have been behind the confidence
that the current calendar year would
bring a general revival. But the most fa-
vorable reports at this time are those
which declare the volume of business only
equal to and in a few instances in excels
til a like total one year ago. The fact that
inteiior merchants are buying more freely
In Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and parts
of Nebraska, where ihe snow and rain
have prepared th** soil for the crop, con-
stitutes almost the one favorable an-
nouncement for the week, in almost all
other pai Is of the country east of the
Mississippi stormy weather has tended
to check the volume of business and still
further restrict mercantile collections,
which have now been exceptionally slow
for more than a month.
There is a sharp decline In total exports
of wheat (flour included as wheat) from
both coasts of the Fnited States this week,
the total amounting to only 1,692,000 bush-
els. against 2,401.000 last week. 2,988.000 In

Wool Review.
Boston, Mass.. March 20.—The Commer-
cial Bulletin will say to-morrow of the
wool market: The sales are again insig-
nificant. The American clip has opened In
Arizona at 6V£e. These prices do not afford
an exact criterion, but the indications are
that the opening prices will be about on
last year's basis, or slightly below. The
difference in price between American and
Australian wools is not so wide that the
sample lots should influence the American
market.
The sales of the week were 909.000 pounds
domestic and 643,000 pounds foreign, against
098,000 pounds domestic and 530,000 pounds
last week and 1,431,000 pounds domestic and
852,000 pounds foreign for the same week
last year.
The sales to date show an Increase of
6.710.713 pounds domestic and 3.269,900
pounds foreign from sales to same date
in ls95.
The receipts up to date show a decrease
of 4372 baits domestic and an increase of
31,602 bales foreign.

RAILWAY INTERESTS.
«»Manual of Statlatlea."
The Manual of Statistics or Stock Ex-
change Handbook for 1896 is out. It em-
braces all Information an Investor desires
regarding railroads, street railways, grain
and produce markets, cotton, mining, pe-
troleum. banks. Insurance and the like.
Although In the hands of subscribers by
the middle of the month, it contains mat-
ter which transpired during the present
month, among other Items of general In-
terest, the appointment of John K. Cowen
and Oscar G. Murray receivers of the Bal-
timore and Ohio railroad on February 29.
This speaks well for the up-to-dateness of
a closely printed statistical volume of
about 500 pages. The publishers say: The
work ' constitutes in reality a condensa-
tion of the reports of all public corpora-
tions of notable Interest for the preceding
year. At the same time comparison of
prices and transactions In the grain, cot-
ton. petroleum and other markets Is neces-
sarily required, with a full year, ayd in
this connection the manual, as usual, pre-
sents a full and most accurate record. It
may also be permissible to add that there
is no authority which, preserving a due
regard for the considerations of space and
bulk necessary in a volume intended pri-
marily for constant reference on the part
of busy people, affords such a variety of
data and information, having a direct use-
fulness in financial and speculative affairs
of all kinds." Charles H. Nlcoll, publisher,

Exports of Corn.
Railway Age.
Exports of corn from Galveston have
reached a considerable figure, the total for
the season commencing September 1 up to
March 7, being 3,844.280 bushels. The re-
ceipts by rail at that point in the same
tli>e were 6846 cars. How small a share
of total product the exports at this
and all other ports constitute, however,
may be gathered from the estimate that
the consumption of corn In the United
States by men. animals and distilleries is
approximately 5.000.000 bushels dally. 150.-
000.000 bushels a month and 1.500.000.000
bushels per annum. With an enormous
crop still on hand and another looked for
a few months hence, the country can stand
the drain of all that may be exported and
still have abundance.

party, which numbers forty, was called to
meet, but only eight responded, including1
the vice president. Raball Amblard, fiva
editors of the Dlarlo de la Marina, and
Manuel Hierro. a storekeeper. The rest
failed to respond, as they consider that
the reformist leaders are responsible for
dividing the Spanish elements of the popu-
lation, The revolution, they assert, has
failed to benefit the country, and Is dic-
tated only by personal Interests. It Is
claimed that the rural wealth of Cuba,
representing tl30.000.000, only pays 4 pet*
cent of the revenues, while the business
and industrial interests, all old Spanish,
pay the rest. At the same lime they hava
representation In congress.
