Rights Of Foreigners.

Criminal ORenses Against the Treaty
Rights Of Foreigners.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-In the Senate
this morning Mr.. Sherman, chairman OF
the committee on foreign relations, reported
a resolution referring TO that committee so
much Of the Presidents annual message as
relates to criminal offenses committed
within the United States against the treaty
rights Of foreigners domiciled in the United
States with instructions to report such pro-
visions Of the law as will empower the
federal courts to try all such cases involving
consideration of international questions and
with such police and judicial process as will
enable the government Of the United States
to use its constitutional power to define and
punish crimes against treaty rights con-
ferred on such foreigners. The resolution
was laid on the table for the present.
Mr.. Proctor introduced a joint resolu-
ton providing for constitutional amend
ment so that the President shall hold his
office for one term of SIX years, and shall
not be eligible for reelection. The resolu-
ton was laid on the table for the present.
Mr.. Mitchell submitted a proposition in
relation to the Idaho contested election
case that the debate should be continued to-
morrow, but that no vote should be taken.
This was objected to by Mr.. Stewart who
said he did not want to speak to empty
seats
The hope was then expressed by Mr..
Mitchell that the Senate would be in session
tomorrow, as Monday would be national
holiday, but he gave notice that the Idaho
case would not be taken up tomorrow.
The joint resolution. therefore. introduced
by Mr.. Pa Inner proposing a constitutional
amendment providing for the election of
senators by the people, was taken up and
MIR. Palmer addressed the Senate In its adj
vocacy.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Palmer's speech
the resolution was laid on the table for the
present, and the Senate listened toieulogies
upon the late Senator Plumb.
Mr.. Dolph's motion TO take up and pass
the bill extending for ten years the Chinese
seclusion laws being defeated by an objec-
ton lodged by Mr.. Hawley, at the conclu-
sion OF the eulogies the Senate. at o'clock,
adjourned.

DID NOT BECOME DUE.
They did not become due on that date, but
under the provisions of the act of congress
by which they were authorized, the United
States then acquired and now has the option
OF redeeming them ut its pleasure, upon
three months notice 20 the holders. The
amount of ~ per cent. bonds
outstanding July L, 1871, was sou, SOY, SUO,
and the cash balance in the treasury Aug.
81. 1891, before any of them had been re-
deemed, was $3.50 PA, 1894 %. In view of
the reduction Of the available balance which
the redemption Of the loan would at that
time have affected it was believed that its
continuance Of a lower rate of interest
would be prudent and profitable transac-
tion. all the benefits of which, and not any
disadvantages would accrue to the United
States.
THE AUTHORITY FOR THE EXTENSION.
The authority under which the bonds
were permitted to continue as part Of the
interest bearing debt is contained in the act
which authorized their issue. As stated
above, the bonds did not become due. The
j United States had an undoubted right TO
sdefer their redemption indefinitely, mean
while paying the holders quarterly, as 1t
should accrue, the interest thereon, but
fBome of the holders were willing,
. without imposing any conditions, to
than that specified in the bond and the
when accompanied by release under seal of
the remainder OF the interest, were ao-
cepted, the United States In the meantime
Fretaining all its rights in the premises In
this connection l deem it proper to state
that the Forty seventh congress by legisla-
tion respecting the bonds then outstanding,
bearing interest at 81 per cent, indi-
GATED its approval Of the action of
hmy distinguished predecessor, who had
during the recess then just passed, con-
tinued at 81 per cent. S579, $50, $50 Of aud
re- per cent. bonds which had become redeem
able.

ELECTION OF SENATORS.

A subcommittee of the Senate In
Favor of the Reform.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-The movement
to secure the election of senators by direct
vote of the people is making substantial
progress. The bill introduced in the Senate
by Senator Mitchell proposing a constitu-
ticnal amendment to secure this object was
referred by the Senate committee on privi-
leges and elections to a subcommittee COM
posed Of the author of the bill and
Senators Chandler and Turpie. After con-
sidering the measure for some time the sub
committee this morning authorized the bill
TO be favorably reported to the full COM
mittee. 1t is expected that the bill and an
elaborate report accompanying it viii
come up for consideration before the full
committee next week. Its fate cannot be
predicted, although 1t is known that the
chairman, Senator Teller, has always been
an advocate of the proposition.
