In debate which for bitterness and heat
lias not been excelled in the senate for a
long time, Senators Hitchcock and
Swansou angrily declared that tho re

At the same time, Representative
Campbell, Kansas, started an attack in
the house 'against the use of American
forces on orders of foreigners. -
"There is a systematic filibuster go
