WASHINGTON. July 21.-The bill to
reimburse the depositorS of the Freed
mans bank was discussed and passed
by the senate to-day. 1t appropriates
S1,0O0,O00. The conference report on
the river and harbor bill was received
from the house, and ordered printed.
The senate then proceeded to the con-
Sideration of the fisheries treaty in open
executive session, and Mr.. Teller adj
dressed the senate. He said that if the
treaty had come from a Republican
administration. he did not believe there
was Republican senator who would
have supported it. and there was not
Democratic senator who would have
supported it if it had not
come from a Democratic admin
iStration. He knew that there was not
any considerable number of Democratic
senators who would have supported it
but for the fact that the power of the
administration had been brought to bear
upon them to compel their support. If
any senators desired proof that the adj
ministration was the active propa-
gandist of the treaty, he would furnish
it. But when the secretary of state was
seen writing letters and submitting to
newspaper interviews, in order to give
the public his view of the treaty, and
when the commissioners were seen
making public addresses in its defense
and support, there was no further proof
needed in support of the statement that
the whole
FORCE OF THE ADMINISTRATION
had been brought to bear to compel
Democratic senators and the Demo-
cratic party to accept the treaty as
Democratic measure. Proceeding to
discuss the treaty on its merits, he de-
clare that the American rights to the
fisheries were inherent and were no
more conferred by treaties than were
the boundaries of the republic itself.
The American people were not to be
inundated by threats of war, or by the
suggestion of the difficulties which
might be incurred in the maintenance
of that which rightfully belonged to
them. Mr.. Teller yielded the floor
temporarily to allow Mr.. Vest to report
from the committee on commerce a
substitute for the bill passed by the
senate, but reconSidered, for an APP
praiSer's building at Chicago. The
substitute, like the original, appro-
PIRATES $500, 600 for the purpose, and re-
quireS an open space of at least forty
feet from any other building. The sub
stitute was passed.
Mr.. Teller resumed, and referred to the
Insults offered by Canadian cruisers to
American fishing vessels, and of the
one of them. He said that no decent
apology had been made, and that this
fact ought to
MAKE EVERY AMERICAN ASHAMED.
The apology Was not satisfactory. but
that was in, keeping with the whole
course OF the administration in dealing
with the British government. Referring
to the Baltimore Sun interview with
Dir. Bayard, Mr.. Teller spoke of the
illusions therein to Mr.. Hoar'S speech
as more fit for fish market than for
diplomatic position. If, he said. there
Sas disgraceful chapter in Americans
With that negotiation by which
it was undertaken, through the
secretary of state, to assist
the Democratic party by allying it with
the Canadian party and with the British
party. The Republican side of the
chamber could point to the fact that
until recently the whole legislative de-
partment of the government and the
executive department of the govern
ment were i'll perfect harmony with the
Republican view on the question. The
matter went over until Monday. The
senate proceeded to the consideration
of bills authorizing the construction of
bridges, and passed the following house
bills, with amendments: Across the
Missouri river at Ponca, Neb.; across
the Missouri river near Winona, Oak;
across the Missouri at Fort Benton,
Mont; across the Missouri river at
Parkville, Mo-. across the Missouri river
at Sioux City, To-; across the Mississippi
river at Burlington, To-; across the Mis-
souri, river at Forest City, Oak; across
the Tennessee river at Knoxville, Tenn,
and across the Missouri river at Platts-
mouth, Neb. The senate at 5:45 adj
journed until Monday.
