The president thereupon handed the German ambas sador his passport, and next he pro posed that we should arm our mer chant ships. The filibustering sen ate failing to give him this authority. Tie proceeded himself to arm them. But shipping .-wished from the sea, with its hidden terror, and at last he called tho newly elected congress in extraor dinary session to "receive a communi cation concerning grave matters of national policy."
