Rl'LKOF PATRIOTISM. Has Indisputed Sway in House of Representatives Whore #50,(>00,000 Voted. Sec tions and Parties Hnrinonionslv Blended. Washington, March s. ? In a spirit of patriotism, with eloipient words ringing in their ears, every memher of the house of representatives today responded to the President's tirst call to meet the Spanish situation by casting his vote for a bill placing in Presi dent Mclvinley's hands fifty million of dollars to bo expended at his discretion for the national do fer.se. Party lines were swept away, and with a unanimous voire congress ,voted its coniidcnee in the administration. Many incur tiers who were paired with absent colleagues took the responsftiilitv of breaking their pairs, an unprecedented tiling in legislative an nals, in order that they might g< on record in support of this vas1 appropriation to maintain the dig. nity and honor of their country. Speaker Rcid, who, as the presiding otlicer, seldom voles except in case of a tie, had his name called aiul voted iu his. tenacity fl representative. The scene of enthusiasm which greeted the an nouncement of the vote ayes, :i 1 1: nays, 0 1ms seldom been paralleled in the house. All day long the galleries were jammed will! enthusiastie spectators, applauding the patriotism of the words of elo quenco which were uttered by the memlK'rs on the lloor. The speeches were all brief. Although font hours were allowed for debate, sc great was the pressure for time that no one mcral>er was giver more than two minutes, and most of them had to content themselves with a beggarly fraction of ti minute. In all, 50 speeches were made. With one acclaim mem hers from the north, the south, the east and west, tho States am) the territories, battle-scarred vet. crans of tlio Union and the Confederate armies, all joined in pro claiming their support of tin country's chief magistrate in the face of a possible foreign war. It the whole dohuto there was only a slight discordant note, causer by tho speech of f icn. IVinghum ol Pennsylvania, who served wilt distinction under Hancock. II< s]M>ke too conservatively for th* aroused temper of tho house, am when ho insisted that our relation! with Spain wore ns friendly a* they had been for years, many o1 tho members hissed him. Whih almost every member who sjmkr depreciated tho possibility of war, a wide divergence of opinion as t? how close wore 'hostilities ninni fcstod itaolf in the debute. Tin general contention l?y tho major ity, among them the leaders or both sides, was that thin appro priation by preparing for win would prove tho an rest guarantee, of |veaco. Others insisted thai war's alarms would soon l?o heard, and Mr Mann of Illinois declare* that war actually existed in al save name. The speochesa whicl attracted most attention were thou of Messrs. Cannon, llendersor and I)olliver oti tin* KcihiMk'mi side and Messrs. Hailey andSayrei on the Democratic side. Mr Hay (Deni.) of Yirginin look advantage of t!ie opport units to refer in complimentary term* to the part that Consul (Jenerai Lee is playing in the present eon. tingency. lie said that (Jen Lot was sustaining so well the good name of the State in performing his duty as to win the encomium of the entire nation, and that al such a time it. was a genuine satis faction to have such a man av Fit'/ Lee at such a post. Tin reference to (Jen Lee railed out loud applause hotli from the llooi and the galleries. "Siiow on which sun-:on SYM PATH IKS LlK."
