THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOL. 1, NUMBER 122. VERY SENSATIONAL SPEECH IN THE SENATE, FLUNKYISM ROASTED BY WHEEL ER. WHO SAYS PAUNCEFOTE OUGHT TO BE SHIPPED ACROSS THE SEA. HE CALLS PRINCE HENRY A ..“LITTLE DUTCHMAN" AND THINKS IT LAMENTABLE FOR ROOSEVELT’S DAUGHTER TO GO TO CORONATION. Washington, Feb. 14.—During the debate in the house upon the pension bill Mr. Wheeler of Kentucky creates, a sensation It. a speech denouncing the attitude of the administration and state department in connection wit! what he termed the recent exposure of the attitude of Great Britain to ward the United States. Mr, Wheeler excoriated what he termed the modern disposition toward “European flunkyism.’’ "Until 1896,' he said, "all Americans glorified in the splendid isolation of ] the republic and it determination to | hold aloof from foreign entangling al ! liances. Lesss than five years ago a president, agged on by a pitiable flunky in the state department, stretched his arms across the seas in adulation to th* p* ople of Great Uni ain and today the government is hug ging to ijs bosom a nation that, since the battle of Yorktown, has systemat ically and persistently plotted our downfall.” He sneered at the “sboulder-stra;)- ped, old-lace flunky*.” who were to be dispatched across the Atlantic to bend the knee to unit ki e the hand erf ih* English king, whose government, he declared, had attempted to form a coalition of Ruropean governments to thwart us while we were seeking to strike the shackles from Cuba. Hon est, straight b.'wtrd American iij lo maey. be declared, had given w iv to Euruoaa <11; loc.ucy. He said lit rs speeted the present occupant of th white house. He was, he said, too straight-forward for many oi his par t> colleagues, slightly Quixotic, per haps, and hasty tempered, but bones! and brave enough, he thought to “boot out thai n the staL, de partment who had brought, us to a humiliating position.” Turning u. England's war in South - Africa, he denounced her tyrannv and the part we had in it in allowing war material to be shipped from our shores. If half that was said of “this man Pauneefote" was true, lie de clared, ho ought to be shipped across the water, and "the sooner th' bet ter." Referring to the report that a mtu ber of the president’s family was to attend the cor' nation, Mr. Wheeler said it was perhaps unbecoming to allude to it. Nevertheless, he said, he considered it “most unfortunate and unprecedented, and to be lamented by every liberty-loving American." It was but one more link in the chain. Mr. Wheeler then turned to the prospective visit of Prince Henry. Withm a gesture of contempt,, he de f lared the "European maniacs were failing over each other" to see the "little Dutchman” There were thou sands of Americans following the plow,” he said "who are as honest and noble a* he, “Why,” he asked, “should the American people give heed to this flunkyism of the present I administration? We should treat our visitors politely, but w..y fall down and worship them.” The whole house was aroused by Mr. Wheeler’s philippic. Several times the Democratic aide burst into applause. As he was concluding Mr. #reeve*o ef •hj., asked if Mr. RANSOM IS PAID. AND AT LAST MISS STONE HAS BEEN LIBERATED BY . BRIGANDS.
