1NnQ was taken up.
Mr.. Freelinghuysen moved an amend
ment to strike out the condition that the
money be returned to Japan shall be used
for educational purposes.
Mr.. Dawes inquired why this amendment
was proposed.
Mr.. Herman said the money belonged to
Japan, and we had no right to exact any
conditions as to its return.
Mr.. Sherman said 1t would be an insult
to do so. -
After further discussion, the amendment
was agreed to.
Mr.. Eaton moved to strike out the clause
that the money should be returned If not
incompatible with our relations with other
powers.
Mr.. Ingalls, said either this money was
ours or 1t was Japan's; if 1t belonged to Ja-
pan, We ought to return 1t irrespective of
what might be the views of any one else,
and without any conditions.
Mr.. Howe agreed with Mr.. Ingalls,, but
he had never keen any evidence conclusive
with him, that the money belonged to
Japan.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen said he did not know
that the amendment would make any ma
tsrial difference, but thought 1t best not to
adopt it. He said that we had acted in
concert with England and Frauce In the
matter.
Mr.. Edmunds moved to strike out the
second section of the bill which provides
for prize money to the American officers
and crews who took part in the engage
ments and destruction Of the Japanese pir-
atical vessels.
