THE JUGGLERS’ TREATY Doubtful Prospects of Ratifying the Supplemental Article. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee Bitterly Divided. Schurz and Casserly Square on the Record. - Herald Enterprise and the Correspondence. THE RUSH FOR COPIES. Everybody But Officials Delighted--- The Latter Disgusted. Simple Simon Cameron Crying for His Secret. He Wants to Play Grand Inquisitor. Congressional Opinion on the Ne- gotiations. WAsmINaToN, May 16, 1872. Within fifteen minutes after the arrival of the New York train this evening every copy of the SIBBALD, received by news agents and others for fale, had been bought up. The evening papers had informed the eager people of the capital of the Breat enterprise displayed by the HERALD in tele- /Braphing FHIRTY-EIGHT THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED WORDS of the Alabamo correspondence from this point, and everybody was anxious to get the ear- liest copy. Dignified Senators, who were confident that this matter would at least be kept secret, ex- ‘preased earnest surprise, and every one else said :— “I told you so—I knew it would get out.” The several oMecials of the Senate, governmental printing office and State Department who had the ‘correspondence in charge felt intensely relleved ‘when they heard and saw that it was “out,” for the eason that further responsibility for them in the ‘premises was at an end. ‘The President and his official family were among those who, next to the attachés of the HERALD, ex- pressed the most : GRATIFICATION AT THE PUBLICATION. He had previously signified his desire that the in- Janotion of secrecy should be removed, but at the Executive session on Monday last it was unant- mously decided not to comply with this desire. The feeling in all circles to-night, now that the exact status of the position of our govern- mont {8 known, is that the President Das pursued a cautious policy in throwing the . RESPONSIBILITY OF FURTHER ACTION on the Sepate, There are those, of course, who say that he should have continued the responsibility himself; but hé too anked criticism on this point py his allusions to precedents for the course he hhaa pursued, The opinion is almost unani- Spious regarding the Cérreéspondenise itself that our ,oonvention, up to the time Secretary Fish inti. mated the acceptability of the new proposition, am consistently dignified in maintaining the position it had assumed. No other comment is heard regarding the new proposition than that it 3s,ae Mr. Sumner is understood to have charac- terized it, A DISGRACEFUL BACKDOWN. In fact, the public is amazed at the success of the British diplomats in browbeating our government into even a moment's consideration of an absolute and abject abandonment of our original ‘case.’ Said a prominent Senator to-night, “WE SHOULD HAVE KEPT CALEB CUSHING AT HOME, for since he arranged matters and left for Europe ‘we have had no capable man at the helm.” This {Senator ts not an exception to the majority of his fellow members, whose opinions became public to- night, and It ia safe to reiterate the prophecy made in these despatches last Monday night, that, unless @ radical change takes place in the opinion of the Senate, the rejection of the supplemental article to jhe Treaty ol Washington is a foregone conclusion. THE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE Shave had frequent sessions for its consideration since Monday, but have failed to arrive at any agreement regarding the report which they must soon make upon it. Messrs, Casserly and Schurz, ofthe committee, are violently opposed to anything even squinting in the direction of ratification, while the other members are now busying themselves with efforts to discover @ new path out of the pending difculty. If they fail to make this dis- covery, as they will, the question will recur di- ‘rectly on the proposition to ratify. The committea (will never agree to this as a whole, and, although in the ©. a majority report in favor of ratification may be submitted, it will be accompanied by a mi- { jority report geo AGAINST RATIFICATION. Although, as previously stated, the White House people are not displeased at the publication of the correspondence, the State Department officials are greatly enraged at it. One of them declared (to-night that the result would be the defeat of the efforts to save the treaty. In answer to an inquiry, ‘why he believed such a result would follow, he re- plied, “Oh, the people don’t understand these hings, and WON'T APPRECIATE OUR DIPLOMACY.” Of course there is a movement on foot to inquire Into the matter, and it is semt-oficially announced That Senator Cameron will offer a resolution to-morrow to provide for the appointment of b special committee, or to give his own commit- tee authority to “inquire into and examine the Circumstances (if any there be) connected with the alleged publication (if any there was) of certain secret or confidential documents (if any there ever have been) submitted to the Senate and known as the correspondence relative to the supplemental ‘arttele to the Treaty of Washington, with power to pend for persons and papers, ‘ INOLUDING THR NEW YORK HERALD." Thus the curtain will be lifted on the first act of iprew pantomime, wherein scnatnrial dignity will ] play the Harlequin for the amusement of the country. Senator Cameron is anxioua to play the part of old “One-Two” to Sergeant-at-Arms French’s HUMPTY DUMPTY IN POLICEMAN’S CLOTHES, but it is quite certain that gentlemen who put to sea in a tub will all go down together. It is so far from being probable, however, that the Senate will consent to become a side show for the divertise- ment of big and little children that {t ts confidently predicted to-night that Cameron's comprehensive resolution will fail for want of votes, The President to-day transmitted to the House of Representatives the correspondence up to the 25th of April in relation tothe Treaty of Washington. This is all of the correspondence of which the House has been placed tn possession, the Message of the President and the important let- ters and telegrams subsequent to the 25th of April, including the additional article to the treaty, being omitted, for the reason that they refer to pending negotiations, and because the Senate has them in confidence! It was not known at the time the correspondence to which reference is above made was sent to the House that the entire in- formation on the subject had already appeared in the HBRALD THE MESSAGE IN ENGLAND. Prosident Grant’s Message Published in Lon- don—The British Public Reassured—Ef- fect on American Seourities. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. ~Toxpon, May 15—3 P. M. The message of President Grant to the United States Senate, submitting the proposed additional article to the Washington Treaty relating to the indirect claims, serves to reassure the public that the differences between the two nations will be honorably settled. The pubiication of the message has had an effect upon the market for American securities, which is now firmer than at the opening. The English Press on the Situation. Lonpon, May 16, 1872. The following extracts show the spirit of the Lon- don press to-day on the treaty question :— The Daily News says:—‘‘All eyes in England are turned to the American Senate. We have done our duty. The best hope remaining ts that the decision has been confided to a body always holding the highest place for gravity and wisdom.’ The Morning .Post and Daily Telegraph are sanguine that patriotism will overrule politics and the.treaty will survive. The Standard remarks :—“We have made sacrifices enough. Let the Senate reject the treaty amend- ment. It 1s not our fault if the American constitu- tion is defective or the government weak, nor is it our loss if we are released from a Hability incurred out of exaggerated deference towards a kindred, high-spirited, but exacting people.” The Times makes no allusion to the subject to-day. ENGLAND. Cotton Market Holidays. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, May 15, 1872. Monday and Tuesday next will be observed as holidays in the cotton market. THE ATALANTAS.

The betting on the approaching race between the Atalantas and the London crew is now two to one in favor of the latter. AQUATIC.

MAY ‘16, 1872: FRANCE. Appointment of Ambassadors to Washington and Other Governments—Marshal Ba- gaine Under Guard. TELEGRAM TQ THE NEW YORK HERALD. Panis, May 15, 1872. An official decree appears to-day announcing the following appointments of French Ambassador: The Duke de Noailles, at Washington; M. Jules Ferry, at Athens; M. Gabriac, at the Hague, and M. Godineau, at Stockholm. THE DUKE DE NOAILLES. The Duke de Noailles, who has been gazetted Ambassador of France to Washington, bears one of the most distinguished names which occur in French history—the house becoming famous in the year 1547, under Antoine, Admiral of the kingdom, and Ambassador of the Crown at the British Court during the years 1553-56. Francois, the brother of Antoine, served as French Minister in London, Constantinople and Venice. The family supplied also a Marshal of France, a Cardinal of the Church, and Adrien Maurice, who was at times Minister of Finance, Minister of State, a General of the army, Minister of Foreign Affairs and a com- mander under Saxe at Fontenoy. Philip de Noailles, Duke de Mouchy, Marshal of France, de- fended the Tuileries against the revolution on the 20th of June, 1792. He was imprisoned subse- quently on a charge of “sheltering priests,” and guillotined, with his wife—named Madame V’Eti- quette by Marie Antoinctte—on the 27th of June, 1704. The present duke is a republican in politics. MARSHAL BAZAINE UNDER CLOSH ARREST. Marsha!

The Emeute Said To Be at an End—The Greater Number of the Men Gone to Work=—The Troops Expected To-Day. Detroit, Mich., May 15, 1872. Despatches received to-night from Houghton, Lake ‘| Superior, seems to indicate that the copper miners’ strike is about at an end, without any serious re- sults. Part of the men in the Quincy, Schoolcraft, Pewabic and Franklin mines have gone to work on the terms proposed by the mine managers when the strike commenced. The Calumet and Hecla miners are still out, but show a disposition to relent. ‘The troops aie expected to arrive on Thursday, which has a quieting influence. The strikers now out are asking that eight hours be taken as the standard for a day’s work. PENNSYLVANIA RESERVE CORPS. WILKESBARRE, Pa., May 15, 1872. The seventh annual reunion of the survivors of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps was held here to- day. The attendance was not large. Andrew G. Curtin was re-elected President.

Without arriving at anything definite to-day, the Convention adjourned to meet to-morrow morning, when plans of organization will be submitted and, acted upon. A SAD SUICIDE. A Young Broker, Married Only Ten Months, Shoots Himself—He Leaves a Letter Advising Young Men Not to Marry. a BALTIMORE, May 15, 1972. Joseph Gegan, Jr., of Gegan Brothers, insurance | agents and brokers, committed suicide this after- | noon by shooting himself through the head with a | pistol. Mr. Gegan was well known both in busi- ness and social circles and highly esteemed for his many amiable and sterling qualities. He left a let- ter stating that he was perfectly sound in mind and warning young men against unfortungte marriages, advising them not to marry at all. A He had been married about ten months, and, to | all appearance, had lived very ew gold ith his wife, ‘The general impression is that he was suffer- ing from temporary aberration of mind. His friends ascribe the rash act to complications in business, His untimely taking off has caused a feeling of sad- ness throughout the community. This makes the second suicide that has occurred in this city during the week, both the parties being young men of high standing and extended connections in the com- munity. THE SUICIDE OF MR. SPENCER. Il Health the Cause—He Was a Bank Teller. Coroner Herrman yesterday held an inquest at his office in the City Hall over the remains of Mr. Lewis P. M. Spencer, who shot himself through the head at the Merchants’ Hotel, on Monday night. For eight years past Mr. Spencer had been teller and cashier of the First National Bank of Oil or Pa., but recently resigned, on account of Iii health, and came to this city for medical advice. No cause for the act is known except great physical suffering. He was in good circumstances, and had in his possession nearly two hundred dollars in ready money and drafts, besides two trunks, a valise, gold watch and chain, &c. The jury ren- dered a verdict in accordance with the foregoing facts. Deceased was thirty-one years of age and a native of Vermont. His remains were taken to Clarendon, near Rutland, Vt., last evening, for in- terment. The effects left by Mr. Spencer will be delivered to his widowed moth A STRANGER SHOOTS HIMSELF IN THE STREET, About two o'clock yesterday morning a German, thirty-nine years of age, whose name, from a pawn ticket found tn his possession, is thonght to have been Ernst W. F. Winnecke, while walking tn Third avenue, near Thirty-eighth street, drew a revolver from his pocket and shot bim- self through the head, and, falling to the pavement, died almost instantly. Near him at the time was one of the sergeants of the Twenty- first precinct police and a young woman. The body was taken to the Thirty-iifth street police station and Coroner Schirmer notified. From the fact that deceased had pawned his coat for $3 and but a few smati currency stamps in his possession, together with a silver watch, lt is belleved poverty drove, him to commit the act.

The New City Charter Doomed—Fatal Flaw in the Registry Bill—The Under- ground Railroad Projects Before the Governor, ALBANY, May 16, 1872, The New York city charter ts doomed at last, It Was discovered to-day that there is a clause in the Registry bill which provides that no person can vote at the election, which the charter Oxes for the 31st of May, who is registered in a ditferent district from the one in which he now lives, Itis true the bill gives it out that every voter who has changed his residence from one district to another since the last election must have his name stricken off the oll list where he voted last before he can vote in is new district, but there is nothing in the bill which empowers anybody to strike any one’s name off the list. The inspectors have no authority to do so, nor haa the voter. This discovery is of course fatal to the charter, for it would disfranchise nearly one- half of the voters in the city, if not more, and the Governor is not willing to blunder by signing it simply because the framers of the Registry bill plundered 80 badly. So the present ofice-holders may throw up their capsand the would-be Mayors of the city cease their wire-pulling and bide their time for at least another year, The Governor has signed thé “Sink the Track" bill, and it is said that he will, to-morrow, sign the Vanderbilt Underground act. There was quite a long talk in the Governor's room, pro and con, on the bill this afternoon, Mr. George T. Curtis, on behalf the Central Underground road, argued against it, as did Judge Hilton. Mr. Chauncey De- pew appeared on behalf of Mr, Vanderbilt and argued strongly in its favor. “BOUQUET JOHNNY'S” TRIBULATIONS. Ho {Is Cowhided ad His Life Threat- ened by a Young and Beautiful Wo- man—Seene in Court—He Departs Re- assured of His Safety. On Monday aftornoon George Brower, otherwise and more familiarly known tg New Yorkers for the past twenty-five years as “Bouquet Johnny,” was sitting in company with a number of friends in the lager bier saloon No. 319 Bowery, enjoying the first “bock bier” of the season. The table was covered with numerous glasses of the foaming “German ale,” and Teutons and natives were alike making merry, when suddenly there appeared at the door a petite, dark-complexioned, handsome woman of some twenty summers, her eyes flashing anger and her whole appearance indicative of rago and excitement. She came not to mingle in the revelry, but on an entirely different errand. Approaching the table at which “Johnny” and his friends were sitting, and without any prelimin- ary warning or formal declaration of war, drew from her bosom a cowhide and laid it vigorously across his upturned countenance. Ho put his’ hands up in defence, and down came the weapon on his wrists, then on his shoulders, and, jumping to his feet, he received still another application on the nape of the neck, the blood flowing freely at every blow. He then thought it time to ran. Upsetting the table—glasses and lager streaming over the floor—he dashed through the door, the infartated Amazon in hot pursuit, out | into the Bowery, his female persecutor still after him, slashing’ "her cowhide in the air, and passers-by looking on in wondering conster- nation. Down Second street he went at a gallop, yelling, “Police! police!? but none came to “the fescue. The superior length of Johnny's legs, to which terror lent additional speed, saved him at last from additional punish- ment, He distanced his fair pursuer, and she Nually gave up the chase and left him to his agony. The next morning, with mournful visage and aching limbs, he dragged himself to Essex Market Court and made his formal com- plaint before Judge Shandley against Mrs. Emma ouisa Pigott, of 50 Bond street, charging her with aggravated assault and battery. A summons was placed in the hands of OMmeer Leayeralt, and yester- day Emma Lonisa and her long-legged siccuser presented themselves in Court before the Justice. udge Shandley jooked at Emma and then atthe tall lank figure of the complainant, and remarked, his eyes meanwhile twinkling with suppressed humor, “Madam, you are accused of violently assaulting this meek and inoffensive man. How came you to so far forget yourself Mrs. Pigott—Your Honor, that despicable crea- ture is @ mean swindler and vile slanderer, He induced me and my husband to go into the lower business in Broadway, and we placed our little capital in his place, and about two weeks ago he collected money belonging to amounting to about three hundred anc fifty dollars. After that he never came near the place. I met him subsequently in the street one day and told him what I thought of him. In revenge, not satisfied with robbing me, he cir- culated reports against my private character, said that 1 was unfaithful to my husband and was in the habit of receiving the attention of strangers. Yes- terday I was told by @ friend that he was in a saloon in the Bowery; I went right away and bought a cowhide and gave it to him. Here her eyes flashed with renewed fire, and grinding her teeth she added, “I wish I could have given him more.” Judge—You had no right to take the law into your own hands,“ Mrs. Pigott—I know that, Your Honor, but I ane know any other way to get even with the brute. During all this time the complainant stood with @ long drawn face, and seeming not to dare utter a word in his own defence. Judge—If you will promise me, madam, not to again molest him, I will let you go. “Johnny” and Mrs. Pigott then left the Court, and, to all Sane anoes, the affair was ended. Back again, however, in less than two minutes came the terrified flower man, and in piteous and broken accents exclaimed— “Your Honor, she says she will shoot me! in danger of my life!” ‘The little woman was re-escorted before the Judge by another opilaaing police officer. Co james Ing sarcastically at the complain- ant)— “So you are afraid of your life. Well, I'll put her under $300 batl to keep the peace towards you, and you, madam, please give me no more troubie.”—. Bail was promptly furnished, and “ Bouquet Johnny” sped his way without waiting for any more remarks, FATHER BURKE IN JERSEY. A Grand Serenade and Torchlight Pro- cession of the Temperance Socicties. Father Tom Barke made his first appearance in Jersey City last evening at St. Peter's church, where he lectured on “The Promises of Christ Realized Only in the Catholic Church.” The lecture was delivered in aid of St. Patrick's church on Jersey City Heights, and when itis stated that Father Burke's audience filled up every available space {t will not be necessary to us, Tam | remark that St. Patrick's church will be greatly benefited. Not only Catholics, but Episcopalians, Presbyterians and Methodists were to be found among the audience. Father Burke in several fine passages excelled himself, and his | lecture throughout was such @ masterpiece of logic that it may be said its eloquence was the least part of it. He took occasion at the close of the lecture to offer a fervid eulogy on the temperance organiza- tion, for the promotion of which he declared he would freely lay down his life. In the sanctuary were scated Fathers Beaudevin, .; Frederiche, 8. Harrigan, Hennessey, Smith, of Jersey City; Cantwell and Downes, of Paterson ; McGahan, of East Newark, and several other clergymen. Just before the conclu- sion of the lecture a torchlight procession of the catholic temperance societies of Hudson county, under the leadershi) of = Mr. Francis McDonald, Grand farshal, was formed in Van Vorst street, and when Father Burke, accompanied by Father Hennessey and Major Haverty, took their seats in an open carriage, the procession, accompanied by several brass bands, proceeded through the principal thoroughfares of the city to the residence of Father Hennessey, where Father Burke was serenaded, ‘The oration was one of whith the eloquent Domini- can has reason to feel proud. THE SIXTH AVENUE SHOOTING AFFRAY. Two of the Prisoners Arr d at Jeffer= son Market. William Fitch, the hackman, and Henry Porter, the paper hanger, arrested by Sergeant James, De- tective McConnell and OMcer Frazier, of the Twen- tieth, on Tuesday night, in @ lager beer saloon on Twenty-ninth street, charged with being impli- cated in the shooting of Mr. Phelps, the Sixth avenue jeweller, on Friday night last, were arraigned before Justice Ledwith at Jefferson Market yesterday morning and remanded to thr; station liouse. Inthe afternoon an officer of the Twentieth precinct returned to the above Court ‘ companied by Fitch, and, upon the officer's st ate- ment that he was not linpiicated in the affray, ‘vitch was discharged. Porter, who was sentenced to State Prisor, about a year ago, and made his escape fror tl institu. tion, is at present confined in the Thirty seventh street station house.

Lumber, Coal, Tar and Quinine Du- ties in the House. The Pacific Mail Job on Its Feet Again. WARMOTH JOINS THE UNTERRIFIED. EN OAR EN ee A Trial Under the En- forcement Act. WASHINGTON, May 15, 1872, The News from the Nutmeg State in Washington. The news of the re-election of Senator Ferry, of Connecticut, reached that gentleman tn the Senate to-day, a8 soon as the decisive ballot had been ta- ken. Senators Schurz, Trumbull, Sumner and alt of the liberal members hastened to congratulate him on tho result, together with a number of prom- inent democrats and afew of the more recently elected straight-out republicans. Those of the old guard, however, like Conkling, Howe and Pomeroy, remained quietly in their seats. They were evidently of the opinion that the matter was not a subject of congratula- tion from their standpoint. In fact, the result is very generally accepted as a very strong indication of the success of Mr. Greeley in the Nutmeg State. The Cincinnati sympathizers are, accordingly, in great glee to-night. Tho friends of the administra- tion, however, are not correspondingly despondent, They see in Mr. Ferry’s success the result of a com- bination among sorehead bolters and democrats which would not and could not have occurred with a regular democratic candidate in the field. Lumber, Coal Tar and Quinine before the House—The Cotton Claim Conference Difficulty. Lumber and coal tar were the subjects of dis- cussion on the Tariff bill in the House to-day. Mr. Lynch, of Maino, offered an amendment to the third section of the bill, fixing a specific duty of $1 per thousand on certain qualities and kinds of lumber, and $2and $2 50 on others. The members from Maine generally took part in the debate, favoring Mr. Lynch’s amendment. Mr. Frye gave an illustra- tion of the effect of protection to the labor of the pine regions in his own State by contrasting the condition of the laborers there and those across the line, the former receiving $2, and the latter $125 perday. Mr. Con- ger, of Michigan, made a strong plea for the lumber interests of his State, while Messrs, Brooks and Cox, of New York, and Farnsworth, of Illinois, spoke for free lumber, Mr. Peters, of Maine, offered a substitute for Mr. Lynch’s amendment, making the duty on lumber ninety per cent of the present rates. Mr. Banks, of Massachusetts, “went for’ the ring, through whose influence he claimed the duty on coal tar had been placed at the exorbl- tant rate of 400 per cent, to which Mr. Dawes an- swered that coal tar was not taxed at all, only the products of coal tar, and Mr. Banks retorted that that was just what was the matter, and proceeded to explain the fact that the asphalt companies had formed a ring by which the whole production was to be controlled. He read a letter from a gentleman showing up tne little game, and closed by an amendment fixing the rate at ninety per cent the present duty, which was carried. Quinine was the subject ofsome debate, upon which Mr. Farnsworth made some facetious remarks about taxing fever, and not allowing any one to shake with the chills without making him pay a tax. ‘The second section, as it now stands, is as fol- lows:—“To reduce the existing duties on the fol- lowing articles ten per cent:—All manufactures of cotton, all wools, hair of the alpaca goat and other animals and all manufactures ;thereof; all tron and all manufactures of tron; all metals not herein otherwise provided for, and all manufactures of metal, except watches and jewelry and other articles of ornament; all printing paper; all manufactures of india-rubber, gutta percha or straw, and ollcloths of all descrip- tions: Provided, that the duty on umbrellas, &c., shall not be less than on goods of the same material and quality as the covering thereof. All steel and manufactures of steel, wire rope and wire strand made of tron wire or of steel wire are to pay the same duty as tron wire and steel wire.'” ‘The action of the committee to-day between the second section and the point where the committee stopped leaves the provisions of the bill as fol- lows :— On all burlaps and like manufactures of flax, jute or hemp, except that suitable for cotton bagging, thirty per cent ad valorem. On all oflcloth foundations or floor cloth canvas made of flax, jute or hemp, forty per cent ad va- lorem.

On lumber and lumber manufactures ninety per cent. At this point the committee rose, and an ani- mated scene followed upon the report of the con- ference committee on the Deficiency Appropriation bil. Mr. Sherman, member of the committee on the part of the Senate, attached to the report his assent to the non-concurrence of the House to the Morrill amendment of the Senate, and a discussion arose as to the propriety of such a procedure on his part, the three members on the part of the House and two on the part of the Senate being sut- ficient to make the report. His remarks attached to the report were considered as gratuitous inter- ference on his part, and, after considerable com- ment, the Speaker decided {t of no account any way, and the report was agreed to. The Quarrels of the Quartermasters. The quarrel among the army quartermasters has been renewed, through the intrigues of General Saxton, representing the so-called overslaughed officers of 1866, to carry through the House without amendment a bill passed by the Senate undera misapprehension of fact as to its effect upon officers. six years in possession of certain grades. The House Military Committee, after several weeks’ consideration, decided that the promotions of ofM- cers for war services were legwily mace, but as an act of grace determined to report a dill promoting the oMcers claiming rank by reason of sentority. This did not antisfy Saxton, and learning that he was endeavoring to defeat their conclusions, the committee tabled the whole subject. Efforts are now being made to induce the committee to recall itg determination, but are energetically opposed by the other aide, on the ground of the faishiesaness ‘of Saxton and his associates. The reopening of military magnates, ag. it threatens to upset the en- tire service. An Old Sore in the Navy Medical Corps Reopened.

The Pacitic Mail Job. The House Committee on Appropriations to-day agreed to report in favor of the Senate amend- ment to the Postal Appropriation bill granting the additional subsidy to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company.

Aftey the ceremony of intro- duction was over Colonel Frobell, as spokesman of the delegation, addressed the President at length. The President replied that he saw a map of the route yesterday, and it looked to him eminentiy practical, and he thought it very important in view of the fact that the present commercial routes are inadequate to the growing needs of commerce, and were it not for the lateness of the present session he would raake it the subject of a spectal commu- nication to Congress; but he suggested that, per- haps, the better way would be, first to interest the friends of the measure in Congress in the work, and obtain the introduction and reference of the bill.
