To THE EDrToR. To settle dispute, please
answer the following question: Can the presi-
dent of the United States go from Astoria, Or,
TO San Francisco, Cal, By steamship that is
under the United States fiags SUBSCRIBER.
The president cannot legally go outside
United States territory, aud according to inter-
national Law the territory of country extends
one marine league beyond its shores There
fore, under strict construction of the law. If
the president were to go beyond that distance
from shore in making the Trip from Astoria TO
San Francisco, he would temporarily cease to be
president, and the vice president would become
acting president during his absence. On his re-
turn the president would resume his Office. The
rule would apply whether the voyage were made
on an American vessel or not
