Although four hours were allowed for debate, so great was the pressure for time that no. one member was given more than five minutes, and most of them had to content themselves with a beggar ly fraction of a minute. In alf fifty-nine speeches were made. With one acclaim members from the north, the south, the east and the west, the States and the terri tories, battle-scarred veterans of the Union and the Confederate armies, all joined in proclaiming their support of the country’s chief magistrate in the face of a possible war.

He spoke too conservatively for the aroused temper of the hsuse, and when he insisted that our relations with Spain were as friendly, as they had been for years, many of the members hissed him. While almost every member who spoke depreca ted the possibility of war a wide divergsnee of opinion as to how close were hostilities manifested it self in the debate. Tne general contention by the majority, among them the loaders on both sides, was that this appropriation by preparing for war would prove the sarest guar antee of peace. Others insisted that war alarms would soon be heard, and Mr. Mann, of Illinois, declared that war actually existed in all save name. The speeches which attracted most attention; were those of Messrs.
