nshefmen ask that this great republic of
bG,OOO,OOO people shall protect her fisher
men In their rights. They demand that
instead OF yielding to Great Britain, al
has been done every time, we shall stand
by our rights. The fishermen. he said,
knew as well as he knew that Great
Britain dare not undertake to defend the
course OF the Canadians in taking eighty
United States vessels into colonial
ports and trying and condcmning them on
the evidence OF colonial witnesses who
stand on the shore and look out to sea
and guess that the vessels were in three
miles. Let the United States do what
they were able 20 do, not to be frightened
TO death by the ghost OF dead treaties.
| Our executive officers were trembling at
the ghost of the Clayton Bnlwer treaty
which Great Britain had regarded dead
for quarter of century.
Mr.. Morgan expressed his astonish-
ment at the vigor aud zeal with
which the question was argued. No Just
criticism Of the president or secretary of
state could be based on the information
before the senate. lie was entirely sur
| prsed to hear that the arrangements
spoken OF were intrusion OF power on the
| part OF the executive department and the
American fishermen were not to be beuc-
fitted byit. Mr.. Morgan was for the sway of
reason, for the influence of Justice and
! truth, in preference to war or ANYTHING
that looked like war

ment was rejected. The bill came
TO vote and was passed. 1t gives al
United States district court Judges 5000
! year, and prohibits them from appoint
