called To the paragraph OF the eighth
section of the first article OF the consti-
ton which declares that congress shall
have power " To make all laws which
shall be necessary and proper for car
rying into execution the foregoing pow
ers and all other powers vested by this
constitution I'm the government OF the
United States or I'm any department or
Office thereof"
Attention IL also called TO the fact
that nowhere i'm the constitution Il the
president given any exclusive authority
TO deal with foreign nations. this being
merely a custom which has grown up.
his only authority according To the con-
stitution being TO appoint diplomatic
and other officers. and then only by and
with the consent and advice of the sen
ate. On the other hand, congress is
specifically given the authority TO pun
ish offenses against the laws of nations.
TO declare war. 10 raise and support
armies and the navy, 10 make rules for
the regulation of the land and naval
forces. etc.
In reply 10 a question OF Cincin-
natl newspaper Senator Sherman
wired: There is no foundation for the
statement that congress may not. II IL
will. recognize the independence OF a
new nation: nor do i think Mr. Olney
contests IL, but he thinks the matter
ought TO come from the president. II.
however. congress should pass a reso-
luton and the president should veto 1t.

OF the senators who commented on
the Olney statement Chandler was
most radical. He was sorry that there
was not time this congress to impeach

luton. Impeachment talk, however.

THOSE WHO AGREE WITH OLNEY.
They Quote Authorities in His support
Ex-Judge CooIey's Views.

Ex-Judge Cooley's Views.
On the other hand those who agree
with Secretary Olney quote precedent
in his favor. For instance. here are
some of the authorities:
In Wharton International Law Digest
Ia quoted Secretary Stewards letter to
Mr.. Dayton, our minister to France.
April Z 1864. as follows: The question
of recognition of foreign revolutionary
or reactionary governments Is one ex-
clusvely for the executive, and cannot
be determined internationally by con-
gressional action
The following decision of the supreme
court Of the United States is also quoted:
I'm political matters the courts follow
the department of government to which
those matters may be committed. and
will not recognize the existence of a
new government till ii has been recog
nized by the executive"
A telegram from Cincinnati says that
Judge Thomas NJ. Cooley, of Michigan,
has wired his opinion TO a paper there
as follows:
THE power to recognize belliSerency
and the lawfulness of action in defence
of a government alleged to be de facto
must devolve upon the executive power
of the country. which can recognize
no belligerent governments until the
fact is clearly made known TO ii that
there is in existence a government
maintaining itself and enforcing its au-
thority against any other.
But the presidents power is not
complete and final. The sovereign legis-
lative power must provide for final in
tercourse. and pass laws for the pur-
pose: laws which the president would
be improbable if he should not join in
executing. What he does in recognize
ing new nation is clearly in part
legislative. and the action taken. IL
taken by the president alone. would be
so far defective as TO be impossible
OF execution without being perfected
now or in the future by the sovereign
legislative power.

Pith of the Secretary's Statement.
The statement, as far as its mate
rial points are concerned is as follows:
THE power to recognize the so-called
republic of Cuba as an independent
state rests exclusively with the eXecu-
tive. A resolution on the subject by
the senate or by the house, or by both
bodies or by one, whether concurrent or
joint, Is imperative as legislation, and
is important only as advice of great
weight voluntarily rendered to the ex-
ecutive regarding the manner in which
ne shall exercise his constitutional
functions. Unless the ad-
vice embodied in the resolution shall
lead the executive TO revise conclusions
already reached and officially declared,
the resolution will be without effect
and will leave unaltered the attitude OF
this government toward the two con-
tending parties in Cuba

CULLOM's VIEW OF THE CASE.
He Tells a Little story to Illustrate How
IL Looks to Him.

HI I'd MINI
The sentiment among the senators Is
we'll illustrated by the remarks made
by Senator Cullom on the secretary's
statement: II have just read it," said
he. 1T seems 20 ne a most extraordi-
nary performance on his part. He says
that IL the resolution adopted by the
senate committee on foreign affairs rec
ognizing the independence of Cuba
should be adopted by the senate, IL
could be regarded only as the opinion
OF the gentlemen voting for It, He
makes the same remark as applicable
to the house. IL that body should pass
IL, and finally he says that IL the Joint
resolution should be passed by a two
thirds vote over a veto by the pres
dent II would still be regarded as mop
erative and taken as mere advice. To
me this is a new doctrine.
IT am reminded by the course Mr.. Oh

house of representatives of our state
legislature some years ago. happened
TO be speaker of the house. Members
were in their turn introducing bills. FL
nally a bill was introduced and the
reading clerk was directed TO read il a
first time. He read a section or two OF
the bill, and suddenly turned around

as a little unasked advice. I.
When congress passes an act either de-
claring war or for any other purpose,
Il Is the constitutional duty of the ex-
soutive to enforce IT."

astonished and startled at the doctrine
snunciated by Olney is based on the
constitution. Particular attention IL

Washington Dec. 21.-The statement

some hands his position is fully sustained
while on others II is admitted that per-
haps from a purely technical statement
of law the secretarys position is cor
