the bill to-day at 4 . m
Mr.. Nutting, Of New York, criticizsd the
president for not using the power given him
eighteen months agn, and stopping Canadian
discrimination against American vessels pass
ing through Canadian canals. The American
government, he said, was to blanso for tho
present difficulties. It had relied u Jon Eng
iish honor, when the history Of nations
showed it was not safe TO rely on English
promises lie said if the Mills bill became a
law England would have accomplished by
her diplomacy and influence in this country
what she had been unable TO accomplish by
the sword.
Mr.. Hooker. Of Mississippi. insisted that
the president had not been dereliot in not
exercising the power conferred on him bv
the law OF 1851
Replying to criticisms OF Republicans that
the president had bean pusillaninous IN not
enforcing the law Of 1887, Mr.. Hooker said il
would have been in very bad TASTE for the
president to enforce that law when he was
negotiating a treaty. lie insisted that it
would be wisdom on the part Of congress to
invest tho president with the power to re-
taliate effectively 10y stopping in transit the
goods Of the government which has treated
our citizens with brutality and wrong.
Mr. Cannon, Of Illinois, read an order
signed By the president on March -, 1857
after the passage Of the retaliation bill
designating San Francisco as a port Of
entry for goods in bond, TO show that the
president did not at thaE time consider the
twenty-ninth article abroEated Now,
said Mr.. Cannot, the president holds that
it had beon abrogated since 1885.
Mr.. Nelson, Of Minnesota believed that
the president now has sufficient power TO
! retaliate all that is necessary.

proposed remedy would jeopardizs the in
