Eng lishmen. This week a resolu-
ton was offered by Senator Hoar
and adopted by the Senate calling
upon the President for copies Of
correspondence with Great Britain
in regard to the right of fishing,
taking seals, or navigating in Behr-

Congress reassembled OH Wednes-

Representative Springer, who
seems TO be acting independently of
the Democratic managers of the
House, has introduced joint reso-
