Department of State


Washington, 10th Dec 1917
SIR am directed by the President Of The
United States, TO invite yOur immediate atten-
iloh, and to urge that of your government, TO
Tue case OF Richard w. Meade "A c.tizen of The
United states, who has been confined since the
"a OF May, 1916, in the prison Santa Catalina.
at CadiZ.
Ii has been repeatedly represented to vour
government by the Minister or the United
states at Madrid, that the imprisonment of this
person, was under a sentence of tribunal al
cadiz, eohdennlng him TO pay d second time
sum OF money, which, 10y virtue of a prior
decree of the same tribunal, he had already
PAID Inte the royal treasury. This fact has
never been denied or contested by your rov-
ernmenl. Ii has been proved to them by the
aiteStatlons and certificates of their own OFF.
GERS.
1t was to have been presumed that, upon
tie hrst moment that such fact was emuhati-
cally presented to your government an order
would instantly have issued from il for The
discharge of MIR. Meade from his imprison-
ment. The President regrets that after so
many and such urgent representations in his
behalf by the minister of the United States at
Madrid, it should yet be necessary to address
this call upon The most common principles of
Justice TO you. 1 am instructed by him TO saw.
that IN renewing this demand for MIR. Meade's
immediate liberation, he confidently expects il
will not be in vain.
pray YOU, sir, to accept the assurance of
my very distinguished consideration.

an exception which might have been
procured at the manufactures in this
country.
Mr.. Mercer supported the motion Of
MIR. Tyler by a brief argument ON the
question, and an earnest appeal 10 the
sen>ibilliies of The House. In replying
TO the objection that TO grant the petition
would be to confer exclusive privileges
on religious institution, hlr. Nj. argued
that tins was not privilege, and could
not properly be so regarded, bcNg grant
OF a particular duty which has actually
accrued TO the United States. Nor would
the grant be an Indulgence to a particular
religious society, since the Monumental
Church had been erected by contribute
Ons from religious societies of every demo
M nation, To commemorate that event
which had been so teeliugly' described
by his honorable friend. Tile motive OF
the petition, he said, 10 the course of his
remarks, II believed, was not merely IL
save the few hundred of dollars duty, but
probably sprung from finer feeling
from Il desire to obtain, in some manner,
the expression of the sympathy of Con-
gress, In The regrets of these who weuid
never cease to lament the shocking catas-
trophe on which the church was founded
Mr.. NJ. referred to cases on which Con-
gress had exercised powers analogous To
that embraced in this proposition. For
instance, he said, they paid, at every ses-
siop,a compensation to the chaplain, who,
bN his daily pray ers TO the throne of grace,
sheds calm over the deliberations OF tbs
body, &c. Congress had also !egislated
In cases of description very similar,
by exempting from duty ali philosophical
apparatus, &c. &c. imported for the use
o! any society incorporated for philosO-
p!iical or literary purposes. Having re-
taxed the revenue laws IN these respects,
Why not extend the favor further? Why
not extend it 10 theInstrument which is
10 accompany the solemn anthem To the
only true God, as well as 10 philosophical
instruments and TO statuary or painting
Mr.. NJ. made many other remarks, not
distinctly heard by The reporter, bun in
the same spirit as the above.
Mr.. Tyler rose 10 refer 10 a precedent
he found OH The statute book, distinctly
supporting the proposition he had made,
which he read: ii Nas an act, OF recent
date, renting the duties on certain ste
rOotype plates imported III 1919 Tor the
use of the Bible Society OF Baltimore
The case which he now supported stood
on higher ground and how, lie called
upon gentlemen to say, could they dis
orminaie between the present case, and
that OF the remission of duties on the
nainting for the Pennsylvania Hospital,
for winch purpose an act had passed al
the present session!
The motion to rererte the report was
then negatived, and The report was agreed
to.
The House then resumed the consi-
deraiioB ofthe bill providing for the reco-
very of fugitive slaves, &c. the question
being On It's passage.
Tn debate on this subject was renew
ed and continued until late hour af-
Ter which
The t.uestion was taken on the passage
OF tha biii, by yeas and nays-yeas

for concurrence.
The House then adjourned to Monday.
