Washington, Feb. 15.--The monotony of a private pension bill in the house yesterday was enlivened by a very sensational speech by Mr. Wheeler, Kentucky, in denunciation of what he denominated "flunkeyiam™ to foreign counts, He took the recent state cab: inets regarding the attitude of Great Spanish war as a text of a wholesale stiack upon the trend of America's recent diplomacy. He severely scored secretary Hay, and declared that if lord Pauncelote had sought, as was alleged, to circumvent us during the war of 1898, the sooner he was shipped across the seas the better. He also criticised the presi 'reported intention to send his daughter to the coronation of king Edward, and protested against the official reception to prince Henry. Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) secured the floor, and replied at length to what the Kentuckian had said. Mr. Gros venor declared that he personally had seen the prince of Wales when hy first set foot on American soil at Ni- egara. As a young man he had listen ed to the prince's speech, he said, with areat interest. He denominated Mr. Wheeler's remark about the forthcom ing visit of prince Henry as a "hitter attack upon the president of the Unit ed States, the house and senate, and incidentally upon all with whom the wince would come in contact." Just at the time when the American people were to be put to the test whether they were gentlemen, he said, it was most unfortunate that this protest should come against the re ception of prince Henry. The speech He will go to Petrolin after | Alvinston, | occupied by Duncan | this morning, very little | 'servants | Fergus, | fered for a Clydesdale stallion, which | A roadster, three vears | attend- between | of { A, but | the military patrols keep the strikers | New Jersey, during the coming sea- | of the gentleman from Kentucky | would be kxploited in Europe to-mor- row on the eve of the prince's depar- | ture, as the message of the American | people to their guest. Mr. Wheeler interposed at this point { to say that he should gladly wel | come any gentleman from abroad | what he objected to was the official { volor to be given to the visit. Then, | as Mr. Grosvenor proceeded to read | what he said eriticising the president | for making a new precedent in con aeetion with the coronation of king Kdward, Mr. Wheeler interruy to |'say that while he had not desired to bring the matter nto the discussion, | what he had deplored was the ve | port that the president intended to | send a member of his family to the | coronation, | "Oh, if it is simply a matter of a | young girl going to the coronation of | a gentleman and lady," erved Mr. | Growvenor, "1 will not pursue it." Continuing, Mr. Grosvenor asserted | that within his personal knowledge, | he would say that in sending a depu- | tation to the coronation of king Ed | ward, the present occupant -of- the White house had simply carried out | the plans of the deceased president, | who had already selected the head of | the conmnission. If the constituents of | the gentleman from Kentucky were polled, he did not think that five per cent. would condemn the president. "80 far as the young lady is con- cerned," he added, "I can tell the gentleman one thing. She would give him a great deal of trouble, if she should get into a debate with him as to the propriety of her going." (Ap plause and laughter.) Mr. Grosvenor then took up Mr. Wheeler's speech, reading from-it the term "Little Dutchman," which Mr. Wheeler had applied to prince Henry. Mr. Grosvenor described at some length the visit the prince of | Wales in 1860, his tour of the coun try, the honors showered upon him by president Buchanan, who, hé said, rushed out of the White house and Fmet him with extended arms, as if he | had been _"'the traditional prodigal { son." As to the vikit of prince Hen ry, he was a brother of the German emperor. He was not a Dutchman, but a European, a German. He was an admiral of the German navy, the same who had been sent to Maaila to protect German interests, and when one of his ships got in the way, De | wey had informed him that if the { ship did not get out of the way in short order there would be trouble k © o man." remarked Mr. Grosvenor, amid | laughter.
