Sherman presented a petition asking means be
adopted to secure citizens in their rights when
abroad.
Conness said it was the fault Of the Presi-
dent that citizens had not been protected
abroad. He thought that citizens who tried
coyertly or openly disturb the peace of foreign
nations, must of course take the responsibility;
but it was u shame and scandal that the rights
of gultless American citizens should be inter-
fered with. and he hoped the Committee on
Foreign Affairs would give this subject their
early attention.
Simmer thought the American Republic COM
petent to meet this matter but the Committee
would not be induced to act hastily by tempo
rnry pressure. "t & '8teaffEt
