Mr
Morgnu of Alabama occupied nl
most ihu entire scbMlou today speaking
until nearly o oclock lonlgnt In Mippuri
of the resolutions It as mainly an uigu
mint without dramatic Interest Tho sen-
ator severely arraigned Spanish Minister
llupu de Loinn for Impropriety In criti-
cizing tcnators Ilualso lecited ninny evi
dences of the severities and atrocities
with which Spain lus prusccutttur the
war
Mr Morgan sild ho fouled that the
funatlclsm of Spain veould lend her to
take up the gauge of war no matter how
mild and proper tho cuurso of congress
might bo
Tho sennlo galleries aro beginning to
assume their normal condition owing to

Mr Elltlns reHoliillon directing the com
mittee on foreign relations to report tnr
btatiiH of the Cuban war went over until
tomoriow after n confeience between Mr
Klklna ami Mr Sherman
Mr Mitchell tltcp Ore complained
that the Cuban resolutions were making
no headway anil said If the Cuban ques-
tion could not be disposed of In a reiiscin
nblt > time h must Insist on going on nllh
the Dupunt election case
Mr ghormitii ie ionded that ho saw no
reason why th Cuban lesolutluns could
not Iki dlsiosetl of In a daw or 1vo but
he did not tleslro In cut oft speeches So
far as lie was concerned run would In-
sist on keeping the Cuban resolutions be-
fore tho tenate to tho cxclttslim of any
other subject yielding only to speeches
With this explanation Mr Pugh of Ala-
bama was recognized for a continuance
of his silver speech begun jeslorday lie
argued Hint tho movement for an Inttr
nniiomil monetary confeience was futile
as England would not consent In It
Tho senator declared that If tho friends
of sliver In the Uirco political parties
could be nulled on one man they could
elect a preildtnt by an overwhelming ma-
jority Hut unfortunately the friends of
free sllvrr weif lighting eiieh other In
separate political r > rganlzntlous and this
fart was tlui greatest nnd the only ob-
stacle In Mm way of their uuecoss In the
next prosddentlal election It was utterly
iiniensonalile said Mr Pugh to expect
free colnuge democrats who constitute
fourllflhs of the party lo go over to the
populist party mail up of n mere fraction
of the friends of freo coinage
Mr Pugh conrluded nt P45 p in
The Cuban resolutions were then taken
up and Mr Morgan of Alabama proceeded
with his speech In support nf the resell
tlons lie spoke of the supersensltlve

she felt the sand slipping from under her
feet while tho gem of trjn Antilles wan
pnsstngout of her grasp Spain had auek > 1
this oraugo well nigh dry until the
sweetness was about exhausted
Mr Morgan said the Spanish ministers
statement made public yesterday Mas
a mosl weak effort It had been kept In
hocrei doubtless because all Its prophecies
of subduing he Insurgents were disproved
by facts Thn Spanish minister pleaded
that tho Insurgents would not come out
for un open fight ot the etiquette and
chivalry of Spanish warfare and yet the
Insurgents rren their prisoner being un-
able to feed tlicrn nnd they maintain no
prisoners such as tho Spanish have at
Ceuta Africa
Spains conduct of thn war In Cuba ran
with blood Tho Snanlsh ministers refer-

ator said tho Sunnlsh minister In his
statement admitted a condition of war

Mr organ referred to Minister do
Lomes celebrated diatribe criticizing

to the American people
Such sir act by such a superellllnus
foreign mlnlter was moat remarkable
and It was hlrh tlrno for thn American
congress lo retire If tho American people
tver listened to the apnea of a foreigner

Mr Morgan said h totally dissented to
the view that ft foreltrn minister hid any
rleht t appeal to tho press as to any
pending nitration of legislation ln view
of th Snanlsh ministers flagrant of-
fense avalnst this ruin tho senator said
he would refer to authorities It was time
to atop this uproar Into which legislation
