Prospects Improving for Very Interest
ing Quarrel
WASHINGTON, Jan 20 Having failed to
get the Information desired respecting the
causes for removals of certain federal off
GERS, 1t is believed that the senate commit
tee on finance will now adopt a new form Of
request, to be sent to heads Of departments,
which will call for all papers in special
cases. and include not only the papers show
ing causes for removals, but also those upon
which the new appointments have been
based.
A correspondent Of The Chicago Evening
Journal telegraphs his paper that Demo
cratic senator, in answer TO question as to
what the result of quarrel between the
senate and president on the above subject
would be, said:
The result will be that good many Of
the presidents appointments will not be
confirmed | don't see how the president
can send to the senate the documents he has
received bearing upon the character of the
men dismissed. 1t would hardly be justice
70 them, and they are not, in any sense, a
part Of the record They should have heen
DESTROYED when the men were dismissed
The temporary result will tie that the
men who formerly held the positions will
assume them again. The president could
only suspend officials during the recess OF
the senate If the senate fails to confirm
their successors. the appointment falls at thu
close of our session; then, as the official vino
held the position was only suspended, the
rejection of his successor puts him again
into the Office"
For how long timer
Until his term expires, OF until the presi-
ident suspends him again. 1t is probable
that the president would Immediately sus-
pend these officers again as soon as they re.
sumed their positions, and appoint success
sors, perhaps the very same men he had
previously appointed

THE FISHERIES QUESTION.
President CieyeIand's Action Criticised In
the Senate-News Notes.

WASHINGTON Cry, Jan 20-There Yves
some sharp criticism in the senate Monday
of the reported action of the president with
reference to the fisheries of this country and
Canada The matter came up on a resolu-
ton offered by Frye which, after declaring
that tho treaty of Washington was a
disastrous piece of business for the United
States, resolves that the commission. pro-
posed by the president, in his message, to
negotiate another treaty ought not to be
appointed.
Edmunds said it seemed to be stated in a
report Just laid on the desks Of senator's that
tho president, without any advice or consent
OF the senate, had entered into arrange
nteais with her majesty's government by
which citizens of the United States were
| accorded certain rights in fishing in British
waters, which. by existing treaties and the
laws of nations, they would not Otherwise
have, and that British subjects were ac-
corded reciprocal rights in the United States
If that was what was meant by the state.
ment OF the report and he spoke OF it with
4 reserve because he had only Just seen the
| report, it certainly presented very grave
| question as to exercise of executive power
| in the matter Of entering into arrangements
with foreign powers affecting the rights of
| citizens of the United States in the face OF
| the constitutional provision that gives the
president power to make treaties Shy and
with the aIYica and consent of the senate. y
Frye declared that the trouble was that
the United States did not protect its fisher
men froal outrage by Canadian authorities,
| and that there was too much yielding 70
| Great Britain. He spoke of the president S
action as "the most marvellous diplomacy
| that our history could show"
Morgan defended the president, and said
| the president had simply strained a point in
order to prevent great loss to the fishermen,
who would have been stopped in their work
| in the middle of their cruises if the action
| of congress irterminating the fishery treaty
| had been carried out to the letter on the
| date fixed
