quoted from the p'-g'masttrsgEneral’s

Rtferrirg to t lie proposed re
enactment of the compulsory car

that law had be°n first introduced
into the smate by Charles Humuer
based upon petitions of oilizws of
Boston setting forth that American
steamers were refusing to carry mail
with a view totxtorting larger rates
of pay. This law hud been repealed
In the o nference report which had
never had any consideration in the
house—the conference report upon
the shipping bill which, under the
rules, shm'd have expressed fully
the change proposed in the bill —had
been silent in regard to the repeal
and tte bouse had had no knowledge
as to what was being done. Then fol
lowed the $400 000 provision in the
last appropriation bill, which, the
bouse after vigorously fighting it had
finally Lem forced to at ree to l y

master general, knowing that noth',
