SENATE.

WASHINGTON, August l3.-Ihe Sen
ate resumed cor sideratiol of the fit b.
cries treaty in open executive session
and was addressed By Gail in support
of its ratification.
At the close OF Calls sleech, Presid
ing Officer CockrelI announc d the
question to be on Mergan's motion to
postpone consideration OF the treaty till
December.
Mr.. Hoa- called for tie yeas and
nays.
Mr.. Gray said he desired to say some
thing on the motion. He then began Ii
speech in favor of the postponement
Of the consideration until December.
Gray said it had become evident from
the out givings on the Republican SIDE
of the chamber that the 'reaty was
not TO be ratified at this session. The
treaty was being discussed in the
midst of an excited political cam
paign, ard the Democratic Sen
ators had been told they were
arguing the British side of the
case. Why should not the consid, ra-
ton of the treaty be postponed To
more quiet session? No interests in
voIYed could possibly be affected iniu-
riously by the proposed postpouement.
The Il hermen. whose rights were he
subject matter OF the treaty, were nur-
suing their avocations now
unmolested and undisturbed under
the parole attached to the treaty.
As to the teu1t tia. the Dsmoera ic
Senators were arguing the case OF
Britain, Mr.. Gray said that no taunt was
so irritating TO Democrat.
The Democratic party had
no hostility and no policy IN relation TO
foreign matters that il was ashamed o..
It had been always ready to press to,
the extreme everything that concerned
the country's right and honor.
Beck, by consent of Gray, criticised
some recent remarks of Frye as to the
practice of Canadian fishermen sending
frozen fish into the American market
free of duty, under the tariff clause of
fish free for immediate coDsump.
tion," and said that as long as fresh
fish could only reach Boston and
Portland, and people there got them
cheaper. IL was emInenuy satisfactory

as ue;h fish could De sent to Ohio and
hcr lucky, i! E6cGEe tEen offensive to
their eyes. The whole thing was in the
interest of the Gloucesur syndicate,
which even the laboring meu of the
country were protesting against as
set IF frauds, He referred in that con-
neotion to the duty Oh Bessemer steel,
BY which Carnegie had been given
BONUS of 81 50Q,0 600 So that he could
RulId churches and schools and could
carry on his carnage throughout Scot
land. The Warwick of the Republican
party, the power behind the throne,
had now come back to this country
to belIttle all the rest OF The Republl
cans"
George obtained the floor and read
from the Boston Herald report of the
meeting OF the deep sea assemblage OF
the Knights of Labor held at Gloucss-
ter, and of resolutions adopted pro-
testing against 1.-The fish trust" and
favorirg competition as the only rem
edy against it.
Hosr said that neither he por
the Senator from Mississippi knew
anything of the character of persons
who composed that assemblage of
Gloucester Knights of Labor, but the
picture which they had drawn of the
sherry and fishery interests, and OF
the laboring men and capitalists of
Massachusetts, was SANDER in gen
.eral; SANDER in every detail. There
was not basis OF truth init. Hespoke
of the prosperity of the workingmen
and women of Massachusetts, and de-
scribsd their homes as homes of COM
fort and love aud blessing and patriot
ism and intelligence.
George rose to reply, but Be- k
thought the discussion might as well go
over till tomorrow.
