No publicist, he said, bad ever dented the justice of the affirmed principle of international relations, extending throughout all that long period of time. And he suld that to the United States and to his own state of Fior- ida, abounding in fish and fishe'tes, the right to Say' on What terms and conditions the priviiege of fishing might de enjoyed by a foreign people was & most important consideration, and that the Pending treaty did affirm that principle by recog. Dizing the right of Great Britain to declare what Portion of her inshore fisheries should be the privilege of American fishermen. 43 TO THE POWER OF THE UNITED STATES, he said that the United States was great and powerrul, but only #0 long and so far as it con formed to right, to justice, to humanity in its re'auions with other nations, He declared Uhat he would not_ be willing to grant commercial rights in Florida waters to fishing Suiacks, and he Was not willing that Canada should be retaliated against for taking that posi on, |The effect ot the retaliation proposed would be to make poor people in the United States pay two for the fish that they used. He did ot acqy in that policy, and he regarded the pending treaty as fair and just and proper. MR. MORGAN'S MOTION.

IN FAVOR OF THE MEASURE. ‘Mr. Heard spoke in favor of the measure, He ‘said it was important that the Government should acquire this property, and it was best to secure it now, When it could be got for little—much, prob- ably, by donation, A zoological garden, he thoulzht, ought Lo be estabilsbed, and this property Would bé valuable 1a this counection. | ne ir, Cannon opposed U ‘as being a sition to provide the. people of the District ot Columbia with a beautiful park, not at theexpense Of the people of tue District, but to be paid for by the General Government.
