Message from the President.
The following message was sent TO the
Senate today:
! hereby send you copy Of circular
Of invitation extended to the independ-
snt countries Of North and South Amer.
ica. to participate in q general Congress
to be held in Washington Nov. 22d next.
for tho purpose Of considering and dis
cussing the methods of preventing the
war betws,n Pera and Chilli, which
would initiate against the happy results
which might otherwise be expected from
such assemblags. The differences in
dicated are such as exist between
Chill and Peru, Mexico and Qua
tenialia. and the States OF Central
America. l was hopeful these
differences would disappear before
the time fixed for the meeting of Con-
gress. This hope has not been realized.
Having observed that the authority of
the President to convene such a Con-
grsss has been questioned. 1 beg leave
to state that the constitution confers on
the President power by and with the
advice and consent Of the Senate to
make treaties, and that this provision
confers the power to take all requisite
measures TO initiate them, and to this
end the President may freely confer
with one or several commissioner OF
delegates from other nations. The Con-
grsss contemplated BY the invitations
could only effect valuable results by ita
conclusions being eventually adopted.
In any action in the promises taken by
your body. will endsavor to be in har-
mony with such expression.
(Signed) CAKsrER A. ARTHUR.
