HOUSE OF REPRESRNTAqIYES.
December 4, 1906.

Mr.. Bid-UsH remarked that this refoluticn
went fofther than that offered by the gentleman
from Maryland. So far as that refolu tcn vent
il met his ideas. But he thought il ought to
go further And fhouid il be adopted by the
committee, he would afterwards move the one
he had joa read. His reafon for thinking the
Houfe ought TO 60 further was this. We have
been informed by the PreGdent that new prin-
ciples have been interpolated by foreign powers
into to the law of nations. What thefe princi-
pie, are is not Rated, except in one intance.
To what extent they have been carried, We are
not Informed. We have, il 10 true, outdoor
information on the fnbjcd; but not Of frch
nature as to juAify our acting in our legislative
capacity. Theie principles, as well as the in
juries we have received, were in his opinion, a
proper fubjed for the inveRisation Of COM
miitce.
Mr.. Ne5olSx faid he could not conceive 10
what the two refolutious differed except in Ian.
guage. They both embraced the fame objea.
10 one refpea only they differed. While ,he
refolution OF the gcntlem an from MsHachufetts
referred the fubj.a to feled Committee, his
swn retaliation referred il TO the committee of
Ways and Means. The inveAigation contem-
plated BY the gentleman could be a well made
by the Committee of Ways and Means a. by
feIea committee. Nor was il necefsry for this
purpoie TO give them any infrUetion'. If the
fabjed required inveifigation. it would be their
duty 10 make it, and TO lay the refult of the in
vcffiga,ion before the Houfe. IL would be al
lowed thar il was fnbjed in which rhe revenue
was mof deeply iotereRed, and as fuch properly
the province Of the Committee Of Ways and
Means. For his own part, Mr.. Nichofon faid.
he could have no objection to the refolu,ion Of
she gentleman from Msdachsfetu bot 40 his
own retaliation embraced the fame objeet and
went to the fs-,c extent, he perceived no reafon
sgsina adopting il.
NJ. Yuisey could not agree that the refolu-
tion offered by the gentleman from Maryland
either embra raced the fame obre. or went to the
fame length with that propofed by his colleague.
He thought that offered by his colleague far pre-.
fersbe, a. il was more extenGve in its views.
He was of opinion, that whasever committee
was appointed fhonId invsHigste fhe nature Of
,he principles alluded TO in the MeHage, a. wsll
a. the meafures referred 20. The Committee Of
ways and Means were not bouGd to make fpe.
cisl report on the fubjea they might content
themselves With general one an it might be
necsGary afterwards TO appoint new committee
