Or? .mmI. Senator George Friable Hoar of Mas aachosetta. successor to Charles Sum aar, delivered a .speech In the senate tly which must have made the chills chase each other up and the spinal columns of the Pblllp Jlngoes. Truly be laid on and kied not He smote tbcm blp and He broke them on the wheel, and quartered them, roasted them on red hot coals, gibbeted them Bofcrs high heaven, brayed them In a saartar, stretched them on the rack, whipped them at the cart's tall and otherwise de? pltefnlly used them.

Ile'wss three hours In deliverIng It If he had actually spo? kes every word he prlnteu. It would have consumed five or six hours In Its delivery. By reason of Its great length ao one paper will ever print all of It, and for the same reason it will not be generally circulated in pamphlet form, as that would be too expensive-, for he It remembered that congressional speeches sre not printed free nn<! In limited quaotltles. as most people seem to think but are paid for In very hard cash by the author or by some? body else. This great speech by Sen ator Hoar?for a great s|m?cch It Is be? yond all cavil?will cost somewhere from *2t> to per thousand. Hut It to too good a campaign document for the Democrats to 1h? lost. Consequent ly 1 offer no apology for making up the bulk of this letter of quotations from It?quotations which should be aaved up and used far campaign pur pears by .ill who rend these letters, lie drawn this glowing ptfllafl of our position st the close of the Hpu'dsh wsr 1 A Urem Aealvrrnteat. "From sll over the country came the voter of well paid latw>r. dwelHafl In ?happy homes, full of contentment with the present and of hope for the future. Capital was seeking new Investments ee sll sides. Our domestic mnrket. rescued from foreign Invasion, was essr own. Foreign mnrkets were open tag. The balance of trade was on our side. The product of American Indus grr was carried abroad on an over* waotrnnsj aad tacreestng tide. **Wa had woo the r,' rv* ? tt?? liberator Id both hemispheres. The Hag of Spain emblem of tyranny ami cruelty?had been driven from the western hemisphere, and was soon to go down from her eastern possessions. The war had been eoudneted without the loss of a gun or the capture of an American soldier in battle. The glory of this great achievement was unlike say other which history has recorded. It was not that we had beaten Spain. It was not that 75,000,000 people had conquered 13,000,000, not that the spirit of the nineteenth century had been too much for the spirit of the fif? teenth century, not that the young athlete hod felled to the ground a de? crepit old man of 00. It was not that I the American mechanic and engineer In the machine shop could make better ships or better gnus or that the Ameri? can soldier h/sailor had displayed the same quality lu battle that he bad shown on every Held?at Hunker Hill, at York town, at Lundy's L?ne, at New Orleans, at Buena Vista, at Gettysburg, In every sea light ou Lake Erie or on the Atlantic. Nobody doubted the skill of the American general, the gallantry of the American admiral or the cour? age of the American soldier or sailor. The glory of the war and of the victory was that it was a war and a victory In the Interest ot Ulbert,?. Tfce Kvsttvte&'n j flag had appeared as a liberator In both hemispheres. When It floated over Havana or Santiago or Manila, there were written nu its folds, where i all nations could read them, the pledge I of the resolution of. congress and the declaration of the president. Every true American thanked God that he had lived to behold that day." Onttnona Prediction. > In these mournful words he predicts and deprecates tbo death of the Repub? lican party: "I believe, Mr. President, not only that perseverance in this policy will be the abandonment of the principles up? on which our government is founded, that It will*change our republic, into an empire, tnat onr methods of legisla? tion, of diplomacy, of administration, must hereafter be those which belong to empires aud not those which belong to republics, but I believe persistence In this attempt will result in the defeat and overthrow of the Republican par? ty. That defeat may not come this year or next year. I pray God It may never come. I well remember when the old Whig party, in the flush of de? lirium aud anticipated triumph, gave np the great doctrmcs which it had so often avowed and undertook to aban? don tho great territory between the Mississippi and the Pacific to its fate. It held Its convention at Philadelphia. It selected as Its candidate a great mil? itary chieftain. Amid the tempest and delirium a quiet delegate from my own state arose and declared to the conven? tion that the Whig party was dead. It seemed that a more audacious, a more foolish, a more astounding utterance nt ver fell upon human ears. And what was the result? The party carried tho country and elected Its president. But within less thau four years thereafter Daniel Webster, as h<? lay dying at Marshfleld. said, 'The Whig party as a political organisation is goue, and It Is well.' Let no such fate attend the lie* publican party. In my judgment, If not now, It will retrace Its steps In tlfue." Tho two concluding sentences of that paragraph arc pitiable when we con? sider who uttered them. Senator Hoar Is an old man. He helped create the Republican party, which, he fondly hoped, was Immort..!. but he sees Its finish. Vet the affections of his heart cliug to It, and despite the evidence of his owu senses he exclaims, "In my Judgmcut, If nut now, it will retrace its steps In time." Vain hope! The Re? publican party, like Ephraim of old, is Joined to Its idol, which Is the almighty -dollar. All the eloquence, all the learn? ing, all the pnihos, all the courage, all the patriots of a dozen men like Sena? tor Hoar, cannot check It In Its mad ca? reer. It Is doomed! Illustrious Traitors. Speaking of Edward Everett's splen? did prophecy?that a time would come wheu Wash ngton's birthday would be celebrated even In the orient?Senator Hoar exclaimed: "The time which the orator predicted came. lu that eastern archipelago, no longer the home of barbarism, a people had achieved their Independence and thrown off the yoke of centuries. They we e longing for civilization, education and liberty. To the millions, with which that land Is swarming. In the dawning of a new light the name of Washington has become familiar. But, alas, the people are citing his example to protect their own liberties against his countrymen. They are nearly threefold In number tbo people to whom his farewell address was deliv? ered. Pray to God that that revered and beautiful character, our shield so often ngalnst distempered folly and un? hallowed ambition, may be theirs also." As to traitors the venerable senator delivered himself of these sizzling sen? tences: "If to think as I do In regard to the Interpretation ?of the constitution; In regard to the mandates of the moral law or the law of nations, to which all1 men and all nation* must render obe? dience; In regard to the policies which are wisest for the conduct of the state, or In regard to those facts of recent history In the light of which we have net?.?d or are to act hereafter, be trea? son, then Washington was a traitor; then Jefferson was a traitor; then Jackson was a traitor; tlr u Franklin was a traitor; then Sui inor was n traitor; then Lincoln was a traitor; theu Webster was a traitor; then Clay was a traitor; then Corwin was u traitor: then Kent was a traitor; then Howard was a traitor; then McKinley, Within two years, was a traitor; then the supreme court of the 1'nltcd State? has been In the past a nest and hotbed of treason; then the people of the I'nit ed Htntes, for more than a century, have been traitors to their own flag and their own constitution. "We are presented with an Issue that can be clearly and shandy stated ** ? question of constitutional power, h i Question of International law, a ques? tion of justice ami righteousness or a question of public expediency. This can be stated clearly and sharply in the abstract, and It can be put clearly and sharply by an illustration growing out of existing facts." lie then proceeds to roast the ribs of the jingoes In this artistic fashion: "I hold that this acquisition, holding and governing can be only a means for a constitutional end-the creation of new states or some other cf the con? stitutional purpoeof to which I have adverted. And 1 maintain that, you cau no more hold and govern territory than you can hold and manage cc.nuon or flettl for any other than a constitu? tional end, and I maintain that the holding in subjection un alien people, governing them against their will for any fancied advantage to them, is not only not an end provided for by the constitution, but is an end prohibited therein. Congreu and the Constitution. "The constitution of the United States sets forth certain specific ob? jects and confers certain specific pow? ers upon the government it creates. All powers necessary or reasonably convenient to accomplishing these spe? cific atjie.cA* wariL e*?rcV&Vag Wiese spe- I cltic powers are granted by implica? tion. In my judgment, the constitu? tion should be liberally construed in determining the extent of such powers. In that 1 agree with Webster and Ham? ilton and Lincoln and Washington and Marshall and not with Calhouu or the Democrats of the time of the war of the rebellion and since. But the most liberal statesman or jurist never went further thau the rule 1 have stated in claiming constitutional powers for our government. The constitution says that congress may make rules and reg? ulations for the government of the ter? ritory aud other property of the United States. That implies that we may acquire and regulate, territory ? as we may acquire and use other property, such as our ships of war, our cannon or forts or arsenals. But territory, like other property, can only be acquir? ed for constitutional purposes and can? not be acquired and governed for un? constitutional purposes. Now, one con? stitutional purpose is to udmit new suites to the Union. That is one of the objects for which the constitution was framed. So we may acquire and hold and gOVem territory with that object lu view. But governing sub? ject peoples aud holding them for that purpose is not a constitutional end. On the contrary, it is au end which the generation which framed the Con? stitution and the Declaration of Inde? pendence declared was unrighteous and abhorrent. So, in my opinion, we have no constitutional power to ac? quire territory for the purpose of hold? ing It in subjugation, in a state of vassalage or serfdom, ugainst the will of its people. Can't Day Alleglunce. "In the present case we have not, 1 repeat, bought any property. We have undertaken to buy mere sovereignty. There were uo public lauds in the Phil? ippine Islands, the property of Spain, which we have bought and paid for. The mountains of iron aud the nug? gets of gold and the hemp bearing fields?do you purpose to strip the own? ers of tl eir rightful title? We have undertaken to buy allegiance, pure aud simple. Aud allegiance is just What the law of nations declares you cannot buy. The power of congress to dis? pose of the territory or other property of the United States, Invoked in Ibis debate, us the foundation of your con? stitutional right, may carry with it in a proper case a right to the allegiance of the occupant of the soil we owu. But we have not bought any property there. The mountains of iron, the nug? gets of gold, the hemp bearing fields, the tobacco and sugar and coffee, are not ours unless, holding first that we can buy of Spain an allegiance which this people have shaken off, which Spain could not deliver, which does not exist lu justice or in right, we can then go on and say that the constitu? tion of the United States does not ap? ply to territory and that we will pro? ceed to take the private property of this people for public use without their consent. "Whether the Inestimable and imper? ishable principles of human liberty are to be trampled down by the Ameri? can republic, and whether its great bulwark and fortress, the American constitution, impreguable from with? out, Is to be betrayed from within, is our question now. "Will any gentleman affirm tLat the framers of the constitution or the peo? ple who adopted it considered as au object and end of their government of limited powers which the Declaration of Independence had declared beyond the just powers of any government and contrary to natural right? Alexan- i der Hamilton says the Declaration of Independence Is the fundamental con? stitution of every state. "I have been uuable to find a single reputable authority more than 12 months old for the power now claimed for congress to govern dependent na? tions or territories not expected to be? come states. The contrary, until this war broke out. has been taken as too clear for reasonable question, l con? tent myself with a few authorities. Among them are Daniel Webster. Wil? liam Ii.

London, April 30, 5 a m --The only dispatch from Lord Roberts pub lished yesterday was the usual list of deaths of sickness The flood of of newspaper dispatches today des? cribing the recent operations throws no light whatever upon the present position of affairs or on the great question as to when the main ad vance is to begin. The Standard's announcement that Gen French's cavalry are returning to Bloemfontein is clear proof that their is no further hope of catching the retreating Boera and the London papers are beginning to display impatience st the practical failure of the operations of last week. Without doubt these operations have been of a very exhausting nature and will entail further delay The Bloemfontein correspondent of The Times, writing on Maroh 3% after the Paardeberg affair, describee Lord Roberts' army as a "wreck/1 because it was without horses and without transport The Bloemfontein correspondent of The Post speaks now of the urgent need at present and always of more horses There is very little news from other quarters. FIGHT AT ISRAEL'S POORT. Thaba N'Cbu, Saturday, April 28 ?The adjacent country is now clear, the Boers having retired toward Ladybrand There are interesting developments ahead London, April 30 ?A special dis? patch from Thaba N'Chu, dated Thursday, describing the fight at Israel e Poort, which is about seven miles west, of Thaba N'Chu, says : "Three hundred Boers were strongly entrenched on two kopjes The place of honor was given to the Canadians, who advanced very cleverly under their dashing commander, Col Otter. The Boers reserved their fire until the Canadians bad reached the wire entanglements Then they opened with a terrific bail of bullets. "The * Canadians, however, had taken good cover, and were not greatly damaged They were ably supported in the assault by the Grabamstown Horse Successive rushes brought them right up to the kopjes, when Col Otter was struck twice, one bullet inflicting a nasty, but not dangerous, wound in the neck, and the other tearing the bandages from his ehoulder. But he still cheered his men on until the kopjes were carried The Boers bolted The British losses were 20 in killed and wounded " Death of Dr. George R. C. Todd of Barnwell. He Was Lincoln's Brother-in law. Charleston. April 28 ?Dr George R 0. Todd, Formerly of Kentucky, a brother in law of President Abra bam Lincoln, died in Barnwell, this State, todsy. He has lived there for msny years, practicing medicine with great success io that and adjoining counties His reputation was so well established that he was called to Charleston immediately after the earthquake io 1886. and during bis short stay his services were in greet demsnd He graduated in Danville, Ky , college in 1843 and was for a iong time with the Texas Rangers on the Rio Grande Afterwards he served the Confederate States with distinc? tion ss an army surgeon He said that he remembered President Lin coin as he appeared in 1844 when a member of congress "Lincoln," he said, "was then six feet, six inches tall, with black hair a dark complexion and blue eyes." Dr Todd married in Camden, this State, bot moved to Barnwell, where he hss practiced medicine ever since ?i ?

McKinley and Hay Backed Down From Demand on Turkey. Washington, April 30 ?The broad streak of yellow down the backbone of the McKinley administration, the exhibition of which disgusted so many Americans during the weeks which immediately preceded the war with Spain, is again in full view of the world. The present exhibition is connected with our relations with Turkey Only a few days ago, all of the well known disseminators of semi official news, in Washington, were singing a song of jingoism snd filling the newapaper men with thrilling stories of the red hot demsnd the administration bad made upon the Sultan of Turkey, to settle those long standing missionary claims at once, and intimating that if the spon dulix was not at once forthcoming, an American fleet would be, *evA Vfc\tt'| Turkish waters to forcibly collect it. Th-'se stories were duly sent out, but they didn't fire the country even a little tiny bit, the people not being in a jingo humor. But they did something else They brought an intimation from Russia, in the politest diplomatic language that thero were reasons which made it incumbent upon Russia to object to any forcible collection of claims from the sultan That threw Secretary Hay into a blue funk, almost as bsd as would have followed a snubbing by an English lord, and straightway the yellow streak in the administration backbone was uncovered, to add to the gaiety of nations and to the humiliation of Americans, and the official announce raent made that this government had at no time intended to go beyond diplomatic insistance in trying to make the sultan pay the claim A famous American wit once comment ed upon au exhibition of a yellow streak by a public man, by saying : ? God Almighty hates a quitter,5' and it is well knotrn to every observing man that the American people also hate oquitter The senate seems to be pretty nearly unanimous in one thing at least?that the United States senate has no authority io investigate a state legislature's qualification to elect a United States senator Al? though the temptation to go behind the action of the West Virginis legis* ia-ure which elected Nathan B Scott, to the senate was great, there being plenty of evidence of crookedness only three senators?Pettus and Mor? gan, of Alabama, and Turner, of Washington, voted for the motion of Senator Pettus to send the resolution declsring Scott jntitled to his seat back to committee with instructions to further investigate bis election Seuator Allen rebuked Senator Chandler for his apparent anxiety to roailroad the resolution reported from the elections committee, declaring Senator Glatk, of Montana, not en titled to his seat through the Senate when he said: "Every man must realize that it is asking a good deal of anyone who occupies a place in this chamber to take the mere conclusions of a committee, without an oppor tunity of reading the evidence upon which those conclusions are based. I am not interested in this case one way or the other, but the Senate cannot expect to dispose of it in two or three days when it has taken the committee three months to hear witnesses and reach a judgment That would be ridiculous in anv tribuual " It is strongly believed that the re? signation o? Senator Clark will make a vote necessary on this resolution, although he still declines to talk for publication Democratic Senstors nave decided that the army reorganization bill con? tains so many objectional features that they will not allow it to go through the senate, and notice to that effect has been served on the republi cans. Among the striking features of the army bill are provision for making Gen Miles lieutenant general (put in to catch democratic votes) aod Gen Corbin major general; for the increase of the regular army and for doubling the number of cadets to West Point. Senator Jones, of Ark., the democratic leader, who never minces words when he has anything to say, declared the Army bill to be full of rascality The republican leaders will allow the Nicaragua Canal bill to pats the House this week, simply because they saw that they could not prevent I it, but their present programme is to I hang it up in the Senate, lor lear that its passage would not be pieasing to England, which is already somewhat displeased becauao the Nicaragua Uauai Treaty has not been ratified Still, the country is txptctcd to be I'cve the lepeatt-d assertion of admin ist rat loa men that there is no secret understanding between the McKinley administration and the English gov? ernment Whatever the administration may be able to do in the house with th ? ship subsidy job, the scheme will not get through the Senate at thts session The democratic Senators who opposed this scheme have re ceived unexpected support in their fight agHtnst it, from Quay's repub Mean friends, who intend to let Banna, who is the most active pusher of the job, see that they resent the S successful deal by which he kept Quay out of the Senate. These republican Senators wouid pro? bably not voto against the subsidy bell if put to the test, but they will probably quietly noip the democratic i Senators to prevent its reaching a vote, which will he practically the same thing THE FLOODS IN TEXAS. Dallas, Tex, April 28 ?The floods show no signs of receding On the contrary, most of the Texas rivers are rising A Fort Worth telegram, at 10 a m , said the Trinity river had overflowed, doing much damage to property. The people are alarmed for the safety of the water works, which are seriously threatened A nine foot rise is sweeping down from the headwaters of the Trinity This will cause a big overflow in the vicinity of Dallas and Fort Worth by tonight. A bulletin from Waco, at 10 80 o'clock, said the list of dead there will fcwa \Q \o \o persons The damage to property in Waco will exceed $150,000 The telegraph lines of both companies are gone south of Waco, isolating more than one half of the State. Railroad movements are suspended south of Dallas on almost every line in the State.

AWAITING PORTE'S REPLY. Turkey Has Not Answered America's Last Note. Constantinople, April Ml ? The United States legation lias not yet re? ceived the porte's answer to the note handed to Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish foreign minister, by the American charge d'affaires, regarding the indem? nity claims, and the impression is gain? ing ground that the reply will be in the negative, or even that no reply will be made. The latter alternative, however, seems to be unlikely. The general im? pression is that without n display of force the porte certainly will not pay the claims, but it wishes to show the world that it yields to force only. It is not considered here that a simple rupture of diplomatic relations will ren? der the porte easier to deal with, but a rupture of formal relations is not thought necessary, as the sending of a warship to a Mediterranean purr would suffice to obtain a settlement of the mat? ter in less than 24 hours. | The same proposition for the settle? ment of the indemnity question by an order for a warship in the price of which] the indemnity should l*> included, was formerly made to France and Italy, hut. that If.
