in the rejection of the treaty relative to the Fisheries negotiated with Great Britain, acted in accordance with the dictates of just patriotism and correctly asserted American rights and the Na tional honor, while the message of Presi dent Cleveland transmitted on the 23d of August is a confession that his Adminis tration has been grossly negligent of its duties in the protection of the American fisheries, and has invited new annoy ances and aggressions on the part of the Canadians by his failure to make a manful protest and to employ peaceful means of self-defense. The Republican party favors a foreign policy which shall do no wrong to the weakest neighbor and shall brook no in dignity from any power on earth, and by insisting on fair-play on sea and land, shall, through justice, insure peace with al! nations. The Republican party unequivocally condemns the course of Governor Hill in obstructing by veto acts measures for increasing fees for licenses, by which a large share of the'cost of the Govern ment might be levied on the liquor traf fic ; and we approve of the efforts of the Republicans in the last Legislature upon the liquor question, especially in passing an act nullified by such executive action, to restrict that traffic by charges which would lift some of the burdens of taxation caused by the liquor traffic from the home and the farmers, and believed that such charges should be advanced by standards similar to those successfully enforced in other States under Republi can control. Recent investigations make clear the necessity for the effectual enforcement of the law for the prevention of the import ation of contract labor. The National administration is greviously at fault for its failure to guard against the degrada tion of American labor. The Republican party demands further legislation to prohibit the influx of pauper and criminal immigrants whose incoming bjings upon our work ing people competition both un just and disastrous. In view of recent revelations showing the abuse of our naturalization and immigration laws, we desire and urt;e a thorough revision of said laws, in order that the country and our fellow citizens may be protected from the paupers and criminals of other coun tries. OOIfGHBH. The Senate's Time Taken l'p With Political Buncombe. Washington, August 28.—1n the Sen ate the resolution offered by Hoar last Friday, calling on the President for all the correspondence between the United States and Great Britain in regard to the fisheries troubles, together with the amendment offered by Edmunds, was agreed to. The Senate then proceeded to consider ation of the conference report on the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill. Senator Allison said the total appropri ations for the current fiscal year, not in cluding what are called "permanent ap propriations," would amount to $306, --000,000, and including the permanent appropriations they would amount to $421,000,000. He also furnished a table to show that the expenditures of the Government for the four years of Cleve land's administration,exceed by $!)0,000, --000, the expenditures for the four years tj! Garfield's and Arthur's administra tion. Hale commented on these figures by the remark: "Thus one by one the illu sions about the economy of the present Administration are fading away." After the close of Wilson's speech the balance of the afternoon was consumed in a debate of a general political nature, in which Hale, Beck and Blackburn were the principal speakers. Pending the disposition of the confer ence report, the Senate wedt into secret session, and soon afterwards adjourned. THE HOUSE. Anotlier Member Excused to .Hake CainpaiKn Speeches. Washington, August 28.—The House spent considerable time in debate over the question as to whether members should be granted leave of absence to take part in the campaign.

Holman introduced a bill to suspend all laws touching the disposal of public lands, except the Homestead law. Re ferred. Monday's record of the Bynum-Cannon controversy was corrected in accordance with the notes of the official steno grapher.

After some discus- ' sion the House adjourned. The Committee on Foreign Affairs to day, the preliminary discussion having 1 impressed the Committee with the feel ing that there might be fair ground for j difference of opinion as to the effect ol the existing statutes based upon the treaty of Washington, decidod that the President's message and the Wilßon bill ; be referred to a sub-committee, consisting of McCreary, Chipman and Hitt, to in vestigate the subject, collect all treaties and statutes bearing upon it, and get to gether all information necessary for the guidance of the full committee.

Morgan, an employee of the Alaskan Company, said that he thought if the Government opened up that part of Behring Sea, the jurisdiction over which was ceded to the United States by Russia as a highway to the ships of the world, the result would be disastrous to the seal fisheries.

PACIFIC COAST. Progress of the Chester In vestigation. THE OCEANIC NOT TO BLAME. The Death Watch Placed Over Alex. Goldenson—A Crank Woman's Long Fast. 'Associated ureas Dispatches to the Herald.l San Francisco, August 28. —George Bridgett, second officer of the steamship Oceanic, testified to-day before the Naval Court appointed by the British vice consul to investigate the Oceanic-Chester collision, that he blew the whistles sig naling the City of Chester to starboard her helm. This signal was repeated and answered twice, yet the Chester appar ently came on without altering her course. When the vessels met he, with four Chinese sailors, launched a boat and endeavored to save some of the Chester's passengers. The boat was sunk, and he was picked up by one of the Oceanic's crew. When he first saw the Chester she was half a mile away, going about eight knots an hour. He believed if the Chester had starboarded her helm as signaled, no accident could have hap pened. John Athias, quartermaster of the Oceanic; Robert Metson, carpenter, and Chief Engineer Allen, of the Oceanic, were also examined. Second Engineer Brolly, who was in charge of the engines at the time of the collision, introduced his time-card in evi dence, which showed that the Oceanic's engines had been going astern for nearly two minutes before the accident occur red, and that the Oceanic did not steam ahead to keep its prow in the hold of the Chester. Pilot Louis Meyer, who took charge of the Oceanic at 8 o'clock on the morning of the accident, thought that if each steamer had complied with the signals to starboard there could have been no collision. After the collision the engines remained stationary and both steamer drifted together till the Chester went down. He thought the officers of the Oceanic did all that was possible to save the lives of those on the Chester. He exonerated the Oceanic from all blame, as did Louis Eckler and Thomas Mirk, engineers. This completed the testimony before the Court, which will render its decision to-morrow. Before the local inspectors this after noon, Nicoll Ludlow, light house inspec tor, testified that he believed that strong tides caused the accident, and he had seen vessels with their helms hard to starboard thrown out of course by the current. He instanced the case of the Dnited States tender Madrone, which had an experience almost similar to the Chester's about four months ago. He considered the place dangerous for navi gation. Adjourned. THE DEATH WATCH. Alex Golclenson Trying to Slip the Hangman's Noose. San Francisco, August 28.—Sheriff McMann placed the death watch over Alex Goldenson, the murderer of Mamie Kelly, to-day.

[continued prom first fagb.] speaker, "and when I go back to lon a and they ask me about it I shall have to answer like the Queen of Sheba did about Solomon's temple. 1 'The half has not been told.' About your wine I cannot say anything, as I come from a Prohibi tion State. [Laughter.] I hope to come back here at an early day if I can make satisfactory business arrangements and think that I could not do better than to pass the evening of my life in this beauti ful country." Mr. J. Humphreys made some well timed remarks and then Mr. Spence said that he would call (in Mr. H. Z. Osborne to respond for the press, after which the visitors would disperse. Mr. Osborne said that such an an nouncement was unnecessary, as there would be no fear of their dispersing after his speech. He made a very sensible oration, scoring badly those journals who cannot draw the line at matters of public interest and drag the private affairs of individuals into their papers to vent their personal spleen. Colonel Ray and Professor Parker, both of Pasadena, spoke of the delight that their city felt in the completion of the new line, and Mayor Monroe brought the festivities to a close by announcing local entertainments to be given by the resi ient ladies.

At 4 o'clock everyone was safely landed on Spring street after a day's experience that had been thoroughly enjoyed by all who par ticipated. The road is a good one and in fine con dition for a new line. The running time between the two termini is one hour, and there is no fears but that the schedule will be kept up. The officers of the road are to be commended for the excellent manner in which they have pushed the venture through and the success with which it has been received. The pres ent directory is as follows: President, E. E. Spence; Manager, W. N. Monroe; Treasurer and Auditor, F. Q. Story; Sec retary, H. A. Unruh. Mr. John Bryson is also a member of the Board.
