oy g THE OMAHA DATLY BEE: FRIDAY. OSLY A BIT OF BUNCOMBE. Prosident Oleveland's Message on the Fisheries Question. REPUBLICANS WILL STAND FIRM. Prominent Congressmen Express the Opinion That the Executive Al ready Has the Authority to Protect American Interests A Campaign Document. WasmNGToN Buneav Tae OmMana Bre, } 518 FOURTEENTH STREET, WasHiNGToN, D. C., August 23, President Clevelund's message to congress this afternoon on the fisheries question created littie surprise. It has been whispered around for two weeks that such a message was in preparation anticipating the rejection of the fisherics treaty by the scnate. The threat made by Senator Morgan, who spoke for the administration, during the debate, put everybody on his guard. Scnator Mor- gan unnonnced that it would be unwise to gond the president mto the most severc act- fon just at this time when the tension of the campaign was on and every oye was directed toward the white house and every move was liable to be miscoustrued. He said that it was among the possibilitics at least that if his treaty should be rejected and pressure brought to bear upon the president that the chief executive would be forced to the use of the retaliatory law which might precipitate & war with our Canadian neighbors, There are, of course, two views taken of the situa tion as it nmow stands. The democrats say the president is acting in the utmost good faith and that a carcful reading of his message will convince any oue of that fact. The republicuns contend that it is but the “jingo” policy and that the president is Widding for popularity among the Irish votes of New York, that he is anxious to have con gress push him mto a difficulty with Canada $ust at this time, so that he may solidify him- sell with the elements which ure always clamoring for war and to enable him to right himsel! with the classes that have been criti cismng his foreign policy TOW THE MESSAC Tt is too carly to get a very reliable con oensus of opinion from congress, us the im gression sccms to prevail to-night that the president will not want very long for any ad- ditional nuthority that he may neod to en- force the retaliatory act. There will be many who will contend, however, that the presi dent has, in the auct approved in March, 1887, ail of the authority necessary to enfore of 1818, Senators like I'rye, Edmunds and Hoar hoid that the guestion was thoroughly sifted when the re talintory act was uuder consideration, und that congress gave in that act all the author- Aty it was deemed wise and sufficient for the president to exercise in the enforcement of our rights, and that it is not ouly infracts ‘of the treaty of 1818 that the American fish anen compliin of; that it is au abridgement, an abrogution and a discountenunce of cor mmerciul amity and those civilities and courte sies which are extended by all countries one 1o unother without uny speciul arvangement. 3 this view of the situatian is taken by the republicans in the senute, there will be no urther legislation on the subject. In fact it i8 a question which will be strongly debated among the republic in both houses whether it is advisable to extend further in- dividunl power 10 the president just at this 8 RECEIVED, the treat, ons time, in_view of his clination to ex ercise it vigorously. The democrats hold that the president hus not suflicient nuthority to enforce what was intended by the rotulintory nct, and that if he is to be eld responstble for our foreign relations e should have all the authority necessary to enforce the laws. Ouly a few statesmen awere Tound to-night who were willing to give expressions on the subject of the messaze nd but a small number heard it read in the ouse and are not aware of its true charac. ter. ‘Uhere is one point upon which all re- ublicins seom to be unanimous to-uight and hat is that the president has been holding his lotter of ncceptunce back for this move mnd other moves yet to come. They say that e does not intend toissue his letter till he @ees what is done with his request for the further legislation asked for in this messnge, and also what the republican tarift Will contains. If for no other reasom, the re- publicans will refuse to take action upon the anessage until some weeks have pussed. “There is a determination on the purt of the sepublicans that nothing shall be done to /mive the president the advautage of the situ- wtion. The republican members of the sen- ®te committec on foreiga relations are hold- dng with pertinacity to the belic! thut the president is trying to avoid the leading is Bues n the impending campaign and to drift away from the tariff and kindred subjccts and direct public attention to & vigorous for- eign volicy. CONGRESSIONAL BENTIMENT, Expressions from a leading republican sen- or and a leading republican meniber of the use indicate the republican sentiment in wongress. Democrats take exactly the onpo- wite view. Senator Manderson, of Nebraska, says: #Phe message of the presmdent was wholly amnecessary. The retulistory act gives him muthority 1o do any ting he should do. His motion in issuing this message is u confession amd an avoidance. The president confesses r the justness of the position oocupicd by he republicans in the senate in rejecting the fisheries treaty, and he seeks touvoid the is- sues which confreut him, and be asks congress #o strengthen his hands. It is possiblo that fhe president is actiug in good faith, but 1 Fegard it as & campiign move. The message 5 & campaign speech from beginning to end, @nd is a high bid for the Irish vote and the wote of all foreign-born citizens m New York and otber coast states where the grentest in- serest is taken in the fisheries, and other in- ternational questioms, 1 do not believe that congress will confer upon_the president any wdditional suthority for the enforcement of the fisheries treaty. In my judement the wetalmtory act of March, 1857, 15 vastly ‘broader than the authority asked for now, ‘While it may not specify the act named in the message, it goes beyond that gud miskes his powor unlimited.” General Browne, of Indiana, says: 1 ®hink it is 2 mistake to consider the message alla bluff, While 1 recard 1t as a campsign suove, pure and simply, arranged woeks a0 by the cabinet, 1 think the president would be very glad to get into 8 muss with Canada. He evidently thinks it would solidify him with the fighting element and make his reelee tion sure. But he will find himself in delu sion. In the first place there is no cxcuse for trouble. We have already had too much talk about this question. Prompt, decisive diplomatic action would have kept us all ht with Canada. There has been no difi- culty whatever under other administrations, but s lack of cournge and diplomacy, with a superabundance of vascillation Bas brought us into a pickle with grlwfl.hurn neighbor. This question was dly discussed. Woen the present retalia- law was under cousideration in congress @ few months ago we gavo the president authority and power to enforce the treaty which other presidents have enforoed without difficulty. = We said then that we were willing that he should go just so farand 20 farther—that was far enough. The presi- dent has found himself incapable of enforcing the treaty, now on the eve of clection he wauts the republicyn senate to force him into war. He wants to apply a counter- frritant, and divert the issues. Yes, he would mmng to Bght if he ecould make the repub- 8 responsible for it, But { think he will E“ no more authority from congress. He a8 enough of it and must act upon his own Fesponsibility. I knew two weeks ago that this was coming. 1t will prove a boomerang to Mr. Cleveland.” Pexny 8.

Mr. Candidate was likely to be elected and would be a man of promi- nence and inflnence.

Dwyer was put in o pitch and Hoover took the other end of the battery. The Maroons began to gauge Horner's de- livery in the first inning and pounded the ball as they bad not pounded it for weeks. Hanrahan went to bat first and *“touched up'’ the ball for a single. Rheims and Sprague found the ball during the iuniug, and errors by Cooucy, Nagle and Annis al- Towed four runs to be made. In the third Nulton made the first home run of the game and pushed Rhcim in ahead of him, In the sixth the heavy batting began and the visit- ors were kept chasing the ball until they grew weary. A wild throw by Turner was one of the errors of the first inning but the visitors ouly scored one run. Another was scored in the sixth by the aid of a couple of singles and 4 wretched muff by Scott. In the seventh and eighth Burns and Tabeau made home runs but nothing could bejdone to equal the bat The ing of the Maroons in the sixth, OMATIA. AB. R T, SB. PO, A E.

He spoke without resorve s one naturally would who had no interest in the subject other than that of an observer. *The donial was eertain to come,” he con- tinued, “but I looked for it from Chicago.
