ed by the senator from New York be adopted, shall
still vote for the BILL but prefer to vote for 1t without
amendment ira

stands il to be without the amendments What then, is
the objection TO their adoption2 AS the bill now stands
is liable the objection which has been made of
tanty the amount Of obligation. 1t may be that
the proposition which Great Britain has made and which
is intention to accede to- may be varied and our OBJ
legations increased 10 indefinite extent under the
thory given to the President by the original bill Ii is
desirable know precisely what obligations to be-
and think they should be specified on the face OF the
bill. n
For one willing agree to the proposition to pay
not exceeding $7o000a year for the services which
this teegaphc company propose to render our govern
ment under the circumstances; but not willing TO
authorize the President of the United States make
indefinite contract with Limitation but his dscre

Of our obligations We shall thus avoid the objections
that have been made hope the friends OF this
will vote for the amendments of the senator from New
York. and thus remove the uncertainty which now appears
