Wheeler Speech Sparks House Clash Over Secretary Hay
In Washington on February 18 the Wheeler speech attacking Secretary Hay and Lori Pauncefote sparked a tense House debate on the Indian appropriation bill. Gillett attacked Wheeler for his language, declaring such remarks harm U.S. standing abroad, while Wheeler reaffirmed he would stand by his words. Democrats Robinson of Indiana and Thayer of Massachusetts dissociated from Wheeler, and Thayer said Wheeler spoke only for himself. Other members weighed in on gold, trusts, and policy, but the Indian bill saw little action.

Review of the Foreign Commerce of the Drifted States in 1801
A public document summarized by Frederic Emory of the State Department’s foreign commerce bureau reports growth in U S manufactured exports abroad despite a total value decline. European demand rises for American novelties while overall exports fall due to European recession and loss of Hawaii and Porto Rico.
