WASHINGTON, Jan. sd.-n is expected that the
| sub committee of the House Committee on For
eign Affairs will prepare bill to afford the relief
asked by the sugar interests of the United States,
4 BY providing for duty on certain grades Of Ha-
waiian sugar, without abrogating the treaty en-
tireiy. There is. however. strong sentiment in
the committee in favor of ahrogation.
| The sugar lobby is vigorously at work, but how
| even the sugar lobby can modify treaty without
the consent Of both of the contracting parties Is
not yet apparent Any law enacted by Congress
in conflict with subsistinc treaty would Of course,
be invalid and void, inasmuch as. next in order
after the Federal Constitution, treaty is the
prerne law of the land. When, in l79i, the House
| of Representatives, on the motion of Mr.. Edward
| Livingston and. by vote of 81 to 81, requested
President Washington 70 send TO that body the in
| structions from the State Department on which
the Jay treaty with Great Britain negotiated,
the President politely informed the House that the
President and Senate constituted the treaty max
| ing power; that the Jay treaty had been ratified
| by the Senate that the assent Of the House was
III.
finally that IL il essential TO the due adinstra
tion Of the Government that the boundaries fixed
by the Constitution between the different DEPART
rients should be preserved For all these reasons
President Washington said that a Just regard to
| the Constitution and the duty of my office for
babe him to comply with the request of the House.
In the matter Of the Sandwich Islands treaty il
would obviously be very announcement as well rs
silly for the House to advise the abrogation of
treaty which the President is convinced should net
be abrocated. Congress has neither the power
nor the right to compel the President TO abrorate
treaty. As this Sandwich Islands treaty relates
to invite the President TO give the House his views
if President Arthur has any views on the SUBJECT
ne may IN certain circumstances reiuse 10 give TO
