APPENDIX-B.
Extract from the "Hisory Of the last session of Com
grtss, ,phich commenced the 7h day of December
1901, taken from the National Inteligencer bu Sam
uei Harrison Smith, - printed and published in 1902
page l2S 1873.
On the 5th of February 1902 memorial was
presented from sundry merchants of Baltimore
praying relief in the of numerous and heavy
losses sustained in consequence of the illegal cap
ture and condemnation Of their property under the
authority of the French government, prior to the
pronulgation of the late convention between the
United States and France, in the provisions of which
compact the memoriaists discover an unqualified
surrender of their claims, instead of the redress
which they expected to obtain. This memorial
with others of similar nature, were referred to
select committee.
On the 1lth of March, Mr.. Griswold lai 1 the fol-
lowing motion on the table,
RssoeJ That il is proper to make provision by law TO-
wards ndemni yng the merchants of the United States for
losses sustained by them from French sroliatous the
claims for which losses have been final
ratification of the convention with France, published by
proclamation of the President of the United States
On the ensuing day, motion made by Mr.. Girls
wold to take up this motion for consideration, was
lost without debate: yeas IS, nays 80.
On the 18th, the order of the day on the bill for
repeating the internal taxes having been called for
Mr.. Griswold moved ita postponement till the ne x
day. for the purpose of previously taking up the
above resolution. The motion of Mr.. Griswold
was advocated by Mr. GrisWold, OF Come cticut,
Mr.. Lowndes. of South Carolina, Mr.. John c.
Smith, of Connecticut, Mr.. Dana, of do, MIR. Bay
ard, of Delaware, and Mr.. Rutledge of South Caro-
lina and opposed by Mr. 8. Smith, Of Maryland,
Mr.. Mitchell, Of New York, Mr. Gregg, of PENN
| syvania, Mr.. Eustis, of Massachusetts, and Mr..
Bacon, Of do, in debate which continued until
the usual hour of ad ournment.
Those who advocated the motion observed that
though it was nearly two months since the select
| committee had been raised to whom petitions for
indemnity had been referred, that committee had
not yet met that it full time to attend to sub.
ject so interesting that involved in them; that as
the principle Of indemnity of general abstract
nature it was not so proper for the decision of ee
| lect committee as for that Of committee Of the
whole; that il was important before decision was
had the repeal Of the internal taxes that the ex-
tent Of the indemnities allowed by the government
| should be ascertained Il was contended that the
| claims of the merchants could not be rejected az
they were too just to be disregarded. The sole OBJ
ject of the resolution to bring the principle Of
| indemnity before the House, unfettered, that its
| decision might not be embarrassed by details; and
supposng that there might be an ndisposition to
pledge nation to an unlimited extent, the words
used were towards indemnifyng." II was, there
fore, insisted that gentlemen, who were disposed to
do anything, could feel no objection to resolution

have found it impossible to doubt whether thew
regarded the claims as obligatory upon the govern
ment, or as constituting an equitable demand upon
the treasury" Yet Of the grounds taken bv him
in this veto message is thus expressed
at is scarcely probable the claim had been regarded
as obligatory upon the government constituting an eau
table demand on the treasury that those who
long since, have done justice to the claimsntsn
Sir it has seemed to me matter of surprise ,ba,
all the public men who cogpizant OF the lead
ing facts connected with the negotiation of the con-
vention of 1900, and who were contemporaneous
with that convention, should have concurred in
opinion on this subject; for however far they NAV
have differed on other questions, they all agree thai
by the convention of lS00 we released these claims
TO France for valuable consideration received bv
our government. And ii is still more Remarkable
that this opinion prevailed universally at the time
that no ventured doubt the fact Of the LIABILITY
of this government to the claimants during tha,
whole debate in the House of Representatiyes n
which have already referred, which occurred onlv
about six months after the ratification of the conven.
tion--athough the whole mass of documentsrv ev;
dence upon which the claimants now rest their case
was concealed at the time from the public and re-
mained concealed in the Department Of State fol
nearly quarter ofa century thereafter.
| The question made by the President why thes,
claims were not paid by those who were contempo.
raneous with the events out of which they arose is
| in my judgment, easily answered by reference V
the state Of our finances during the fifteen wears AZ
ter these claims had been assumed bv this goyern

by all to have been the largest delegated

The Convention took q firm and deci~

divide the two great political parties,
and especially upon the question Of the
currency; a position too, in which the
people will amply sustain them. The
Democratic party now stand oppo sed
to the granting Of special, unequal, and
dangerous privileges, and in favor Of
equal rights. They arc determined
that they will no longer couatenance
the unjus, frauds which have been 80
long prac,icod against them by a set
of swindIing banks. But they have no,
declared their opposition to all banks

them as 10 secure the people agains,
the frauds which in times past have
been practiced upon them. Not until,
for ten years, they had offered every
compromise which was consonant with
justice and right, and the security oflhc
people, have the democrats taken this
stand in favor Of total annihilalion Of
these institutions. But after every cl-
fort to keep them within proper limits
had failed, and after the bankers had
virtually declared that they would pre-

other course was left for US to pursue! q

WILMINGTON MARKET-Nov. 2e.

Naval Stores-The foreign news received
by the last steamer had the tendency to rather
strengthen prices for Turpentine than other

quote at 81 70 a So rs. Received and sold
since our last, from 5000 to 5000 barrels, at
prices ranging from So 10 to 81 IS. Spirits
We hear of sales of few small lots at 45c.

since our last, consisting of about 600 bar
rels in all, which sold at So 90.

a slight advance in Timber. Sales are MOI
quick
