Canada-The Senate Takes Occasion to
snub the Executive-A Bili in Accord

lions Introduced In the House.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-Tho President
yesterday afternoon sent n long message
TO Congress in regard TO the rejected
fisheries treaty, and recommending that
power DO given the Executive 10 sus-
pend tho laws allowing the transit in
bond across United States territory
of goods going TO or coming from Canada
The President, after referring 10 the in
juries and annoyanoes which led up 10 the
negotiation OF the treaty, and expressing
his belief that the rejected treaty was nd
equate for the settlement OF the difficulty
without sacrificing our National dignity,
SAYS;
liam quito conscious IN At neither my opin-
ion OF the value OF tho rejected treaty nor the
motives which prompted Its negotiation are OF
Importance in the light OF the iadgmontof the
Senate thoreupon- But II is OF importance TO
note that this treaty has been rejected with
out any apparent disposition on the part OF
the senate 70 alter or amend its proyisonA
and with tho evident intention, not wanting
expression, that no negotiation should 81 pres
ent be concluded touching the matter at issue.
Tho cooperation necessary for the adjust
ment OF the long standing National differences
with which we have TO deal, by methods OF con-
ference and agreement having thus been de-
chncd, am by no means disposed 10 abandon
tho interests and the rights OF our people In the
premises or TO neglect their grievances, and
therefore turn TO the contemplation OF plan OF
retail alton as u mode which still remains OF
treating the situation. am not unmindful OF
the gravity of tho responsibility assumed In
adopting this line of conduct nor do fail In
the least TO appreciate its serious conso-
Quenccs II will be impossible to niure our
Canadian neighbors by retaliatory measures
without INJECTING some damage upon our own
citizens.
"Plainiy stated, the policy OF National retail
iation manifestly embraces the infection OF the
greatest harm upon those who have injured US
with the least possible damage to ourselves.
There also an evident proprioty, as we'll as an
invitation TO moral support found In visiting
upon the Offending party the same measure or
X nd OF treatment of which we complain and
MS far as possible within the same lines. And
above all things, the plan OF retaliation, n en-
tered upon, should be thorough and vigorous.
These cousidera tons lead me at this time
20 invoke the aid and counsel OF tho Congress
power as seems TO me necessary and desirable
TO render effective the policy have indi-
Gated"
The President then refers TO tho Retail
alton act passed in March, 1887, and argues
that its enforcement in such manner as
would result in the least possible injury
TO our own people would prove inadequate
for the accomplishment Of tho purpose do
sired The message saws.
while shall not hesitate upon proper occa-
sions 10 enforce this act II would eem TO be
unnecessary TO suggest that " such enforce

'.Thoro need be no hesitation in susponding
these laws arising from the suppositlon that
their continuation Is secured by treaty obilga-
tfops. for il seems quite plain that article 20 OF
the treaty Of 1871. which WIS the only article
incorporating such laws, terminated the Ist OF
July, issa. The article itself declares that
its provisions shall be in force for tho term
OF years mentioned in article 81 OF this treaty.
Turning To article 81 We un0 no mention OF the
twenty.ninth article. but only n provision TINT
articles IS TO %, Inclusive, and article 20
shall take effect as soon as the laws re-
ouired to carry them into operation shall be
passed by the legislative bodies OF the different
countries concerned and that they shall re-
main in force for ton years from the date nj
which they may come into operation and
further until the expiration OF two years after
either OF the high contracting parties shall
have given notice TO tho other OF It's wish 70
the same.
~ am OF the opinion that the term OF years
in article 30 referred TO in article 20
us the limit OF its duration means the period
during which articles Is 10 %, inclusive, and
article 30, commonly called the fishery arti-
cles,' shall continue in force under the Ian
gnage OF said art Gle S3u
