EDMUNDS’ OFF.'.Nm-1> DIGNITY
Riddlcberser Interrupts Him by
inquiring for a Chestnut Bill.
hr"m t\e yew York [Jerald.
Washington. Feb. 26.—1 t occurred at
a late hour during last night’s session ol
the Senate. Mr. Itiddleberger, of Vir
ginia, was, as usual, tbe cause of tbe
trouble, and the grave, imperturbable
Mr. Edmunds, of Vermont, the viotlm.
li came about in this way: Shortly before
midnight Mr. Edmunds arrived on tbe
scene tresb from a dinner parly at Sena
tor Stanford’s. A delicate boutonniere
oi pink rosebuds and violets adorned tbe
lapel of Mr. Edmunds’ dress coat. The
Vermont Senator was in an unusually
gracious mood. As be look his s ; at be
smiled blandly upon tbe gentleman in bin
immediate vicinity, and leaning back in
bis chair followed the debate on tbe reso
lution lo investigate the Pacific roads.
Finally Mr. Edmunds secured tbe floor,
and, speaking in favor ot the resouuon,
used substantially tbe arguments fre
quently made by him in previous discus
sions regarding the indebtedness ol tuese
roads to tbe United States.
Mr. Riddleberger, wbo was opposed to
the resolution, finally interrupted tbe
honorable gentleman, according to the
Record, as follows:
Mr. Riddleberger—Will the Senator al
low - me to make an inquiry?
Mr. Edmunds—Certainly.
Mr. Riddleberger—ls there any Senator
here who bas a unestnut beil?
The Record does not record the peals of
laughter which snook tbe building at tins
unlooked for proceeding, but tbose who
were present say that Mr. Edmunds was
so angry, notwithstanding Ins imperturb
able manner, that it was several minutes
betore he recovered bis composure.
There is now considerable curiosity on
tbe part of Mr. Edmunds’ colleagues to
know what reply he will make to Mr.
Itiddleberger the next time that gi ntle
man asks permission to interrupt him.
'flic Cat Hot lied It.
A Smltbville gentleman called on a
young lady the other eveuing and rather
overstayed his time. About 11 p. m. a
brlndle cat came into the room, wearing
a snip of paper tied uround Its neck and
jumped Into tbe young lady’s lap. On
the paper the followiug words were writ
ten: “l>o yon know that It is alter 11
o’clock? Or do you intend to sit up all
nightlong?” The young man read tbe
notice first, coughed, rose hastily, bade
tbe fair one good night and departed for
ever and ever. Tbe cat settled it.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1887;
RIGHTS OF THE SMACKS.
THE REPORT OF THE CONFF.It-
IEs OF IT * E HOUSE.
An Argument That It Would Be Fo'ly
to Merely Prohibit the Importation of
Canadian Flh an ' Not Interfere Wuh
Other Truffle Both by Land and Water.
Washington, Fob. 28.—Tbe House
conferees on tbe bill to authorize tbe
President to protect and defend the rights
ol American fishing vessels (the fisheries
retaliatory bill) have prepared a state
ment which will oe submitted to tbe
House at tbe earliest opportunity. The
conferees say:
The unanimity expressed in the House and
Senate rcsueeuvi lv had given the managers
on the part of the House every reason to hope
that by mutual eencessione an agreement
would he reached in conference which would
result in giving such ample authority to the
President as might be necessary for a satis
fuc ory settlement of the pending quest on of
American fisheries on the Canadian coast. It
is, therefore, with the deepest regret and dis
anoointment that we are compelled to report
a disagreement.
exclusion of cars.
The managers, on the part of the House,
entered the conference with a determination
that no minor difference should stand in the
way of an agreement, but it became evident
that no proposition that included cars an !
rolling stock in ibeoncration of the law would
be acceptable to the .Senate conferees. The
unanimous vote of the House auth rizing the
President to declare, in ills discretion, non
intercourse with Canada by land as well hi
sea. did not, In the opinion of your conferees,
leave them at liberty to disregard that, im
portant principle contained in the House
snbstitato for the Senate till. They tber 1 -
fore declined to recede in conference from
the position taken by the House on this point.
AIM OF THE BILL.
A dignified, deliberate aud earnest main
tenance of our national rights under treaty
stipulations under public commercial laws
and ordinary international comity is the sole
object of the Unite i Stales. If these rights
have been impaired and invaded, and 'dress
when properly asked for has been refused or
not accorded, then self re-pe t as a i avion
and a sense of duty to mir citiz-ns should
compel the people of the United States to act
as a unit in adopting such measures
a< will restore the rights of tneir citizens.
If a suspension of commercial intercourse be
asserted as the rem dy for the withholding or
commercial privileges, such su-pen-tou should
be coextenHive with the attainment ol the
desired end. and would lie usele-s or worss If
It fell short of th tt. To limit such non- inter
course to a single article of commerce or to t
single mode of comur nication would not be
just in theory nor adequate in prac ice.
FISH ALONE NOT SUFFICIENT.
The act of exclusion to be successful should
be eflectlve and nnmistukah'e in Its extent
and results. The opinions which have found
expression in Congress, and which have been
reflected in the conference, would limit the
action of the government to mobibltion noon
the importation of Canadian fish into the Uni
ted 'tales. The Houseconferresareof tbe opin
ion that if such a prohibitory law should he
deemed sufficient for the settlement of tninor
tant political questions as to American rights
under treaty stipulations, the proper method
would be lo pass a tariff enactment lo that
effect. An attempt to re ah the result bv ue
of diplomatic power is one to which the House
conferees cannot give their assent. The ques
tion to be legislated upou is national in its as
pects aud not sectional or local.
RIGHTS AT STAKE.
It is not the article fish we are to consider,
but Ihe rights of our citizens undar our trea
ties with Great Britain. The rights of the
fishermen are national rights, and the whole
nation is concerned in resisting their destruc
tion or diminution. It U not the profit or
lossot the fishing business that is in question,
but the right to nsh, to navigate and to trade
that is at stake. The establishment of non
■ intercourse bv railroad might possibly intlict
hardship upon some of onr citizens, but we
are unwilling to believe that private interests
will be placed above the maintenance of the
honor uud dignity ol the country.
WHERE SETTLEMENT RESTS.
A settlement of the pending question rest 6
between the government ot the United Stales
and the government of Great Britain. It
wdl continue to be a recurring source of irri
tation, annoyance, and even danger, so long
as it is permitted to remain in a condition ol
dispute between our fishermen aud tbe Cana
dian authorities. The action of the
administration has been directed to
accommodate ail differences and to
procure an amicable, voluntary and just set
tlement, To sui h overtures no reply has been
made, although since Dec. 8, IS-6, a propo
sition looking to such an adjustment has been
in the bands ot the British government, if
Ureat Britain will j in in a jn t and reason
able interpreta'ion of the treaty of 1818 with
the United States the>e wi 1 tie no dlfficu ty;
but shou ti tliav government continue to sus
tain its provinces In tne misuse of the provis
ions of that treaty wo mu-t prcvent.orsuhmit.
RAILWAYS MUST RE INCLUDED.
Non-iutercourse applied to essential lines
of British raiHvav trail! t would be more ef
fective than confining our action to the ex
clusion of fish aloue.
Great Britain must be dratt with, not Can
ada, and • ur measures should he begun with
that view anti with a determination to con
tinue them until just action is compelled.
The report is signed by Messrs. Bel
mont and Cleinertts. Mr. Rice, of Massa
cpuselts, does not join in the report. It
is believed that no request will bemad
bv the House (or further conference, and
any overtures in that direction must come
Irom tbo Senate.
THE REPORT TO THE SENATE.
In the Senate to-day Mr. Edmunds,
trom the conference committee on
the bill resp cting fish rles. mad'
a long report as to tbe difficulties
existing in the conference, and which pi e
vented au agreement. The irreconcilable
point of difference between the m Lingers
on the part of the two houses is reported
to be the insistence on the of the
House raauagers to add to the scope ot
the Senate bill the funner provision that
in case of injurious treatment to Ameri
can vessels in British North American
waters it shall be within the com
petence of tbe President to stop inter
course absolutely not only by water, but
by land, tbu9 cutting off - continuous
movement of railway trains from the
British provinces to any part of the
United States and in effect reciprocally
from tbe United States to the British do
minions. The Senate managers had felt
it to be their duty to deoiine io go to that
extent. The report is signed by tbe Sen
ate conferees, Seuators Edmunds, Frye
and Morgan,
