SPOKE FOR THE BOER.
Senator Hal DS noun. .il lral Brit
alu's War.
Washington, Jan. 22. A speech
sensational in itt interest and interna
tional in its scope, was delivered in
the senate today by Hale, of Maine.
The occasion of the utterance was tht
simple question whether a resolution
introduced by Allen, of Sebraska, call
ing for information as to the recogni
tion by thit country of the diplomatic
representative of the Transvaal repub
lic should be directed to the preiident
or secretarv of state. Hale made the
question the subject of an impassioned
speech in which he declared that nine-
tenths of the American people sympa
thize with the Boers in their gallant
struggle for libert v against one of thi
L-icutost powers in the world. He de-
dared that the war which (ireat Brit
ain ia waging ia the most fatal bios1 it
human liberty that has been ttiuck in
tho century. He declared "that tht
American people are not in sympathy
with Oreat Britain in the South Afri
can war to stamp out the liberty of tin
people," and when Mr. Balfour, iu th
house of commons, made snch a state
ment, "he should be met with tome
disclaimer from this side of the Atltn-
t., . " He declared that the Kugliah
people themselves were not in favor of
this war, which "had Ihmu brought on
by a sharp cabinet miuister eugagej
with gold speculators." Hale spokt
with unusual force, decisiveness tnd
earnestness, even for him, and his pas
sionate eloquence claimed the closest
atteution of every auditor.
The resolution, which previous to
Hale's speech had caused a sharp col
loquy between Allen and Spooner, ol
Wisconsin, was passed finally hi
amended. Morgan of Alabama al
dressed the senate briefly ou the finan
cial bill.
