General Congressional News

The Secretary of State. in compliance
with the Senate resolution, has transmitted
to the Senate copies of the correspondence
in progress for several years with the French
authorities. respecting the enforced military
service required by France of naturalized
American citizens of French birth or Ameri-
can born citizens of French parentage, who
NAV venture to visit France and be discov-
cred there by the authorities. The CORE
spondence covers the cases of John Fruch-
ier. John Pierre Arbios, John +. Girard and
Albert F. Gendrot In each of which the
American minister has been directed to lay
the matter before the French authorities and
demand the release of each citizen with such
other relief as the circumstances require.
The reply of the French minister uniformly
has been that the question of allegiance was
one over which the administration had no lu-
risdiction, and which must be settled by the
courts. They set forth that under French
principles citizenship is conferred by parent
age and not by the place of birth. and that
the expatriation of a French citizen requires
the consent of the French government. Up
ON these points Secretary Bavard instructed
Minister McLane to inform NJ. Flourens that
the government of the United States holds
that the decree of naturalization granted by
it to French citizen, is not open to i'm

House.

Monday the House did nothing on the tar
if bill. In fact there were so few members
present that the House was forced to adjourn.
Today the debate on the Mills bill was re-
sumed. The heated controversy of last Sat
urtay had not been forgotten, the statements
of Mr.. Woodburn of Nevada, still ranking
in the democratic breasts.
Mr.. Bryce of New York, rising to the
question of privilege, read the language used
by Mr. Woodburn of Nevada, with reference
TO ex Congressman Hewitt having apologzed
to the British minister for offering a resolu-
ton of inquiry as to the case of O'Donnell
under sentence of death in Great Briia n.
Mr.. Bryce stated that he denied the correct
ness of the statement, and in vindicaton of
his denial, he read telegram from Mayor
Hewitt energetically denyiny that he ever
apologized to the British minister. He also
read a letter from Hewitt in which that gen
tleman details the circumstances of the case.
Mr.. Bryce also had read statement by Min
lister West denying that Hewitt apologized to
him for his part in the transaction. These
documents Mr.. Bryce thought, were suit-
cient to disprove the charges brought agains,
a relative of his by marriage, and an honora-
BILE gentleman.
Mr.. Woodburn of Nevada and Mr.. Brumm
of PENNSYLVANIA, were of the opinion that
Mr. Hewitt did make an apology notwith-
standing his denial.
The House then went into the committee
of the whole on the tariff bill.
Mr. Stockdale of Mississippi took the floor
in continuation of his speech in favor of the
bill, which was interrupted by the adjourn
ment of Saturday.
Mr. Hopkins of Illinois, opposed the bill
at length,
Mr. Mansur of Missouri delivered an ex-
haustive argument in its support, and was
followed by l. ID. Taylor of Ohio, in opposi-
ton.
Mr. Richardson of Tennessee supported
the bill Mr. McAdoo of New Jersey
argued for protection Mr., NJ rr,l of Cal
afornia. advocated spending the surplus in
paving the debt and in developing the country
The committee then rose and the House
took recess until Z. NJ.
At the evening session Stone of Missouri,
Chapman of Michigan, Martin of Texas. IA
vored the Mills bill Martin said, we are
conducting the campaign for reduction of tax
es, they are fighting reduction. Applause. }
