Patriotic Speeches
From llotli
Sides.
Special to Dally Leader
Wasuinqton March 8 Tho gal-
larlea of the house were packed today
and long Hoes of people unable to
gain admittance surged about tho
doors. Public lntorcst on tho debate
on tbo bill appropriating 550000003 to
tho national defonso was reflected in
tbls latgo attendance. On tho lloor
almost every member was present.
As soon as tho journal had been
read tho speaker wrappod for order
and amid deep silence Chairman Can-
non uroso and presented as a dcilclury
bill tho measure appropriating 850-
000.001) for the national dofcrno. When
tbo reading of tho bill was concluded
a spontaneous outburst of appliusc
wont up from tho members and gal-
Urles. Mr. llarrett (Rop. Mass.) askod il
opportunity would bo allowed for
amendmentr and when Mr Cannon
answered tfiat ho did not know he
objected. Ills objection was grcoted
with hisses and loud cries of "Vote!"
"Vote!" Mr. Uarrett yioldlog to the
urgent appeals of tho Republicans
about him withdrew his objection.
After the confusion which followed
this dramalii scane had subsided Mr.
Canuon look tho floor and opened tbo
dobato on tbo bill.
Amoair olhor Ullage Mr. Cannon
said: "Wo have got tbo monoy la the
treasury to meet this appropriation il
it is expended" ho continued ' and
therefore there is not presented wuh
this propobitton ono to borrow money
or to lucreaso taxation to which ulmoai
any other nation on earth would have
been obliged to rcBoit." ( Tremendous
applause )
Tho demand for lime was such that
it hid to bo doled out by tho minute.
All the speeches breathe patriotic fer-
vor manv of them being truely elo
quent. Too only discordant nolo up
to tho hour of 2:30 was when General
liingbam (Rep Fa ) Bald wo care
not bo much for tho bravery and cour-
ago ot Consul Qcneral Leo as his cool
judgment. Hisses from all quarters
of the hall grooted this statement
Mr. liioghain was again hissed when
ho said bo condemned any statement
on tbo lloor to tho oiTect that our
relations with Spain were other than
they had been foryoar past perfectly
friendly.
Mr Uarrott (Hep. Mass.) said he
heartily supported tbo bill. Ho would
he said volo for ono hundred instead
of fifty millions if necessary.
Mr. Mann ((II.) ceatcd something of
a sensation by declaring tint thit ap-
propriation meant war that war al-
ready rxUte.l. This oppropriation
might end It.
Mr. 11 m ley closed for tho Democrats
in a vigorous speech of. live minutes
Tho occasion was extraordinary ho
said and tho country was now as for
merly ready to vote millions for do-
fenso but not a cent for trlbito. Ho
hoped the occasion would not result In
war but if so let war come Ho ex-
pressed tho hopo that tho old armies
ot tho north and south should be
united to fight together a now battlo
of Gettysburg. Tboro was great op-
plautc at the closo of bin speech.
