A stirring speech by Mr. Vest In. behalf of Cuba, was tho event of yostordny In tho sennto. It carao unoxpectodly, ns Mr. vest Roldom an nounces Ills spoucheg or innkos prepara tions. Tho somito had ngreod that tho final voto of tho Cuban resolution would bo taken at 4 p. m. today, and tho dobato was proceeding, Mr. White, of California, and Jlr, Qruy, of Delaware, contending as a legal proposition that tho United States could not at this tlino rccognlzo Cuba's Independence This nroused Jlr. vest, first for ques tions of roiuonstranco and then to ono of the bursts of cloqucnco with which ho nt times electrifies tho scnato. IIu spoko of Spain as tho toothless old wolf who had lost ono by ono all her litter, and was still clinging to this single romainlng cub. Ho pictured Spain as tho Impotent Giant of Despair In tho Pilgrim's Progress, guzlng on defeat. In Impassioned words ho mado an apothosls to llborty of raro beauty and fervor, adding with ringing emphasis that tho Cuban patriots would never, never, novcr again becomo tho unwilling sub jects of Spain. At tho close of tho speech Jlr. Uray, who opposed Jlr. Vest, said that If cloquonco could nchlovo the freedom of Cuba thou tho burning words of tho Jllssourl senator would sot her free. Tho dobiito will bo closed by Jlr. Sherman today. It Is con sidered cortuln that favorable action will bo taken on ono of tho boveral resolutions, tho only doubt being whether It shall ro lato to Independence or belllgoroncy, and as to tho extent of It. Tho army appropriation bill, carrying about J23,O00,00O, was passed during tho day. Tho exciting Incident of tho day In tho houso occurred just beforo tho adjourn ment. Tho strong resolutions prepared by tho foreign affairs commlttco for tho recog nition of tho Cuban belligerents had been presented earlier In tho day amid a sceno of groat onthuslasm. Tho resolutions do- claro It to bo tho senso of congress that a stuto of war exists In Cuba, and- that tho Insurgents should bo given tho rights of belligerents, and that It 19 tho sonso ot congress that tho government of tho United States should uso its inllucnco to stop tno war. If necessary, by Intervention, and pledging tho support of congress. Tho demonstration or approval was so spontaneous, and seemingly so uimnl mons, that just beforo tho houso adjourned Jlr. Ultt, who had intended to postpono calling thorn up until next Jlonday, aslted unanimous consent for their Immediate consideration. So many gentlomon, said he. had osked him to lay tho proposition beforo tho houso that In obedlonco to their renuostand tlio Instructions of tho com,' mlttco to call up tho resolutions nt tho earliest posslblo moment ho now asked unanimous consent fo. their Immediate consideration. Another sceno of enthusiasm that put tho house Into u perfect roar grooted tho request. "I do not wish to mako n speech on theso resolutions," continued Jlr. Hltt. "They nro brief and present a plain, slm nlo proposition on a question with which overv ono In America la familiar." Amid cries of "voto," "voto," Jlr. Bailey, of Texas, said ho would mako no oblcctlon to voting on tho resolutions sop aratoly, but ho was opposed to tho last resolution which pledged tho support or coucrcss In advonco to anything tho ox' ecutlvo might do. Jlr. Hltt was saying that ho thought thoro would bo no objoo tlon to striking out that resolution, and Jlr. Tumor, of Georgia, was asking If unanimous consent wore required, whon Jlr. Uoutolle. of Jlalno, sprang to his root fairly bristling with pugnacity. Inavolco that nrrestod tho Instant attoutlon of tho houso ho said: "I understand thoso resolutions accord bnllliroront rluhts to the Cuban lusur gonts, an action that might involve the United States in a war with Spain.' "That's what wo want," cried several members. "Well." continued Mr. Boutollo Impot- uously, "I object to their passugo without Mr. Hltt tried to dlssuado Jlr. Boutollo, lmt, tho latter was obdurate. "Wlir." said ho, "It is already 5 o'clock, nn.l I consldor this proposition to takd up rounlntlonsof such gravity in this way an amazing ono. I want tho reasons; I want to see whether tho reasons appeal to my ludirmcnt as nn Amorlcan citizen, as a member of congress and as a patriot, object to tho present consideration of resolution of thut gravity." Thoso lotter words woro delivered with great emphasis. Mr. Hltt was ovldontly greatly chagrined. Ho had propared tho roquest, ho said, in deforonco to "what he thought was tho unanimous wish of all. Meantime other members woro continuing their uppouls to Mr. Boutollo, until that gentleman turned savagoly upon thorn nnddoclarod that ho did not propose to vote at a moment's notlco to luvolvo his country nt war with a country with which wo woro nbw at peace. Beforo this exciting lncldont an ox memborof tho houso became a niomber and a member booanio uu ox-mombcr. Such was tho result of tho throo days' de bate In tho houso on tho Van Horn-Tars-noy contested oloctlou case.

PREPARATIONS FOR A CONTEST About Fifty Citizens Pray the Court to Declare tho Election Claimed by Justice Lawlor Illegal and Void-Some of the Facts Alleged. Tho dlsputo over tlio legality of tho claims of Justices M. J. Ijiwlor and John J. Cardin to election us Justices of tho Peaco of the borough is mado more pronounced by a paper filed at tho 1'ottsvillo court to-day by A. W. Schalck, Esq. The paper Is signed by about fifty petitioners of this town and is filed in compliance with tho law that when protest is mado against tho election of a Jus tice of tho Peace the objections must ho mado in writing within ten days after tho election. Tlio iietltlon was circulated quietly and its oxistenco only became generally known this morning. Tho facts set forth lu it are sub stantially ns follows : That tho pretended election of Borough Justices is unauthorized and Illegal and whatever election returns aro already made, or may hereafter bo made, aro undtio and Incorrect. That there Is no such otllco as Justlco of tho Peace of tho whole borough, as a borough. That tho borough now has its full quota or number of Justices. That thero was no proclamation, or announcement calling upon the electors to voto for such office. That M. J Lawlor is now a Jtistico of tho Peaco of tho First ward and lias thrco years to servo That tho pretended vote alleged to havo been cast for said Lawlor for said ollieo were not printed or written on the ballots, but, if voted nt all, wero pasted thereon, and tlio said oflico was not designated in any space provided therefor on tho printed official ballots. If there bo any such otliccs as two Justices of the Peace to bo elected by and for tho wholo of said borough of Shenandoah it must be mado known to tho electors in duo time and in a proper and legal manner, so that the said electors may know their rights in the premises and intelligently voto for two suit able persons (or ono of them, as tho case may bo) to fill said office. There were over 1,000 votes cast by tho electors of said borough at said election, but no more than 100, If so many, votes were cast for said lawlor for baid office, all the other electors being ignorant that an election had been authorized to bo held for said office. The petitioners ask the court to declare tlio election claimed illegal and void. This proceeding is Independent of any other that has been taken in connection with the matter and is resorted to in order that tho other Justices of the Peaco in tho borough may ho in a proper status to contest the elections claimed should such a step become necessary. It bus no bearing upon the proceeding Jtcssrs. Lawlor aud Cardiu havo instituted for a mandamus to require the Judges of Election to make returns of votes east for the offices they claim, lho rule for tho mandamus is returnable on tho 0th of .March, next. All tho parties directly interested ou both sides of tho controversy seem confident that their positions are impregnable and tho re sult will bo awaited with Inteiest. It is a question of constructing several acts of tho Legislature and tho constitution of tho statu aud u detailed account of tho claims of both sides would mako very dry reading to tho general public. It Is understood that in ad dition to Jlr. Olmstead, the Harrisburg lawyer and authority on constitutional law, Messrs. Iiwlor and Cardiu have John 1". Whalcu and William Wilhelm, Esqs., to champion their causo. Tho other Justices have not decided upon any .combined move ment as yet. At Ilrreu's ltlllltu Cafe.
