Representative Hooker, a democratic member of the committee on foreign affairs, which will deal initially with the message and the Wilson bill to sive effect to the President's views, said: “I unink it is a Very able exposition of our riguts under the treaty Of 1818, and presents a very congent rea~ son for enforcing the act of investing the Presi- dent with power to retaliate against Canadian importers and exporters, It was unfortunate that {he Senate, When it found that tt could not agree to the original treaty, did not propose amend- ments which might have been submitted to the government of Great Britain, and thus have set- ied, Dy negotiation, the controversy between the two countries.” THINKS THE PRASIDENT ALREADY HAS SUFFICIENT, POWER TO ACT. Representative Payson (IIL) sald: “Without fully committing myself to it I think that the President bas suMcient power under existing laws \o express the seutiment of our people and not ‘only compel a recognition of our right=, but secure an equitable adjustment of the trouble. ‘There ts more politics thau necessity in the message.

Representative Crisp, of Georgia (dem.), sald: “I think the message 1s decidediy the proper thing to do under the circumstances, The President Waives his own opinion on the subject of the ‘Ureaty and accepts the decision of the Senate ag ‘ual as to the propriety of making a treaty, but al the same time he resorts to the next best thing and asks Congress to adow him to adopt retaiia- Yory, measures, The country will accept, the message as an earnest of his desire to protect the rights of American citizens,” ‘THE PRESIDENT ACCUSED OP INCONSISTENCY—A FRE- DICTION. Representative Bayne, of Pennsylvania (repub- Mean), said: It isa remarkable document. Inthe first place the President sent a treaty to the Senate which confessedly now conceded away our rights.
