SENATOR SHERMAN,S STAND.
Opposing the House Retaliation Bill

The first positive stand taken in Congress against
the enactment OF law to confer upon the Presi-
dent the power asked for in his recent message on
the subject Of our relations with Canada and Of
retaliation was by Senator Sherman In q speech
to-day. He declared emphatically that in his
opinion no such powers should be conferred upon
the President His speech was conservative in
tone, counseling moderation in adjusting contro-
vers1es with Canada. Senator Sherman was
listened TO with marked attention by both demo-
Gratis and republicans.
THE FOREIGN RELATIONS coMMrTTHI,
OF which Mr.. Sherman Is chairman, will meet to-
morrow to take action upon the House retaliation
bill. In the committee Mr.. Sherman will oppose
the bill and he will be supported by Senator Frye
They will endeavor 1t Is said, to induce the repub
ncan majority OF the committee to take adverse
action upon the bill. The republican members OF
the committee are Messrs Sherman. Edmunds
Frye, Evarts and Dolph. The democratic members
are Messrs. Morgan, Brown, Salisbury ana Payne
II would seem likely that the republicans would
follow the leadership OF Senators Sherman and
Frye, put there was rumor to-day that all Of
them might not. The democratic members will
stand by the bill and the vote OF single republi-
can added TO theirs would procure a favorable re-
nQrt ON the bill
