the requirements of the law. and who
will not evade the constitution?one
who knows the limitations of the ex

Oeelaring that the adoption of the
Bailey resolution.would be eonstrued
as a rebuke to the President. Sena

dipparsitemetit of the motives of the
Chief executive The declaration was
received with applause in the galler?

Mr. Bailey disavowed any intention

Not a gruat deal anxict) is ft I
among the shipping men here for the
safety of craft bound up and down

that any vessel? can be driven ashore

Along the waterfront it is believ?
