that " an immense feet OF boats started down

that the outlook, from weather point Of
view. was discouraglng. The atmosphere was
heavy and the breeze was travelling at

Worrying Mr.. Villas.

When Mr.. Mills had concluded Mr. Villas
took the floor and spoke TO- fifteen minutes
or so. He said that the President had said
in his message that every particle of infor-
nation obtainable was to be sent to the
Senate at the earliest possible moment and
in view of this proffer he added, ii would
seem the more dignified course for the Sem
ate to defer making a request upon the
President, which in it's very terms would
defer the information until such time as he
might see tit Mr.. Higgins asked if the in
lorna ton already accorded by the President
includes the instructions to Minister Willis
Mr.. Villas refused to answer on the plea
that he would be violating an individual
confidence Then Mr.. Hear took a hand in
worrying the speaker and p-odded him
about the premature publication of Mr.
BlountS report. Mr.. Aldrch next took q
hand and asked what assurance the Senate
has that pending the Information asked for
the President might by some act commit
the country to policy of which Congress
las delivered a eulogium concerning the
President, who, he said, could be relied upon
to discharge his duties in an upright man
ner This did not satisfy Mr.. Aldrich, who
wanted to know whether the President
alone is to determine the policy to be pur-
sued in relations with foreign countries in
the matter of interference with their do
nestle affairs, or as to some overt act of
war. NJ. Villas refused to enter into a dis
cusSion OF the matter The discussion of
the proposition under consideration could
not be made to include such a line of
thought, he added.
