The President Sends a Message to Congress
on the Subject.

The President Sends n Message to Congress
on the subject.
| WASHINGTON Feb. 2-President Harrison
sent to the house to-day a message dealing
with the importation of foreign goods into
the United States across the Canadian bor-
der under consular seal. The president
discussed at length the treaty obligations
which affect the subject growing out of the
provisions Of article 20 of tho treaty of
Washington. and arrives at the conclusion
that article % of the treaty of Washington
has been abrogated. and even If in force,
there is no law o1tant to execute it. When
III forc tho treaty imposed no obligation
upon the United States to use the conces-
sion as to transit m sde by Canada, and there
is NO limitation upon the powers of the
United States in dealing with mer-
chandise imported for the use of
our citizens through Canadian ports,
or passing from a place in the
bo der. Therefore. treaty or no treaty,
the question of sealing cars containing
such merchandise and the treatment of
such sealed oars when they cross our Dor.
der is. and always has been. ono to be
settled by our laws. according TO our con-
venience and our interests, as We see them.
The law authorizing the scaling of cars
in Canada containing foreign merchandise
imported from contiguous country does
not apply to merchandise imported by our
own people from countries not contiguous
China and Japan) and carried through
Canada for delivery to such owners. The
law did not contemplate passing sealed ears
to any place not at "port." nor the delivery
of such to owners or consieness. to be opened
by them without the supervision of q
revenue officer; that suoh practice is incon-
sisteut with the safety of the revenue
cto ,tAa ra1c % kra,1
merchandise between the United States
and British possessions, and should be the
subject of revision. Treasury regulations
giving these laws construction and scope,
the president does not think contemplated
by congress. A policy adaptsd to the
new conditions growing in part cut of the
const Fuotion OF the Canadian Pacific rail
road, should bo declared and the business
placed on a basis moro just to our people
and to or transportation oonlpanies.

President Harrison Elevates JUDGE
Howell E. Jackson to the
Supreme Bench.
Tho New Justice Was Formerly
a United States Senator from
Tennessee.
In Politics . Democrat, but . Jurist OF
High Qualification and Most Honor
able Reputation.

WARRINGTON, Feb. 2.-The president TO-
day appointed Circuit Judge Howell Ed
munds Jackson to sucossd Justice Lamar
on this supreme bench. Judge jackson Is q
dcmocratio ex-senator, and at present ia
Judge OF the United States court for tho
district embracing Tennessee. Inquiry
about the capitol shows that the appoint
ment il considered from judicial and not
political view as q splendid one. The ap-
pointment was great surprise TO tho Ten
nessee delegates In the house. The repub-
lican members felt sore over the selection
of demoora At and states rights man, but
when asked a. to Jackson's personal fitness
conceded his character and abilities all that
could be desired. The selection politically
IL no more pleasing to some OF the demo
cratic representatives who recall the fact
that Judge jackson is leader OF the "Up-
school dem oorats of Tennessee" The men
said, however, that the new Judge is strong,
clean and able. Representative Houk,
OF Tennessee. when asked about
the appointment said: II think
President Harrison followed his in
clinasions and betrayed tho republican
party and committed crime against tho
constitution by appointing a man who by
birth and schooling 10 states rights DEM
oorat, believing in the strict construction
of the constitution and supremacy OF tho
state over the nation. I haye nothing to
say against Judge jackson as man. He
is just, able and humane"
Representative Enloe said: 1T is an ex-
cellent appointment. Judge jackson ia
able, industrious, pure in character. and a
good judge. I have never heard his dom
ooracy questioned"
The nomination came as great surprise
on the senate side and was received while
the senate was in executive session. While
no comment was made on the floor, the ,e-
publicans gathered about in little groups
and discussed it. With the exception of a
few who think the president should have
appointed republican, the nominate ion is
we'll received. There was said to be little
II any opposition to his confirmation.
Justice Jackson was born in Paris, Tenn,
in April. 1882. He received a classical edu-
cation. afterwards took course in law an d
was admitted to practice in Jackson, Tenn,
in 1856. He 80 we'd twice as judge by ap-
pointment on the supreme bench of tho
state; was elected to the state Legislature
az state credit democrat in 1880. and the
same year he was elected to the United
States senate to succeed James E. Bailey
In 1886 he was nominated by the president
and confirmed as United States Judge for
the Sixth judicial district.
