Wasmmvaroxs, August 53. —The Pres. ident sent the following message to the Congress this afternoon: To Tie Coxeress: The rejection by i the Senate of the treaty lately negotiat ed for the settlement and adjustment of | the differences existing United States and Great Britain cerning the rights and privileges of American fisherman in the ports and waters of British North America. seems to justify a survey of the condition to which the pending question is thus re. mitted, The treaty upon this subject, conclud. ed in 1818, through disagreements as to the meaning of its terms, has beon a fruitful source of irritation and trouble. Our citizens engaged in fishing enter. prises in waters adjacent to Canada have been subjected to numerons vexa. tions, interferences aud SNNOYANces, their vessels have been seized upon pre- texts which appear to be entirely inad. missible and they have been otherwise treated by the Canadian authorities and officials in a manner inexcusably harsh and oppressive, between the | Col THIS CONDUCT JUSTIFIED. «This conduct has been justified by Great Britain and Canada by the claim that the treaty of 1818 permitted it and tipon the grond that it was necessary to he proper protection of Canadian in. terests. We deny that treaty agree. ments justify these acts and we further _ aintain that, aside from any treaty restraints of disputed interpretation, the relative positions of the United States and Canada as near neighbors, the growth of our joint commerce, the development and prosperity of both countries, which amicable relations surely guarantee, and, above all, the liberality always ex. tended by the United States to the peo. ple of Canada, furnished motives for kindness and consideration higher and better than treaty covenants, ° While keenly sensitive to all that was Cxasperating in the condition and by no means indisposed to support the just complaints of our injured citizens, 1 still dectned it my duty for the preservation American | am quite conscious ¢ - " Ba + - 4 nseious that neither my opinion of the value of the rejected treaty nor the motives which prompted its ne. gotintion are of importance in the Tight of the judgment of the Senate thepeup- on. But itis of importance to note that this treaty has been rejected without any apparent disposition on the past of the Senate to alter or amend its provis. fons and with the evident intention not wanting expression that no negotiation should af present be concluded touch. ing the matter at issue, The co-operation necessary for the ad.

It will be impossible to injure our Canadian neighbors by retaliatory meas. ures withont inflicting some damage up- on our own citizens, This results from our proximity, our community of inter- ests, and the inevitable commingling of by no means disposed to abandon the in. | treating | may be conveyed in transit without the payment of duties from such Possessions ; through the territory of the United Sta. | testor export from the said ports of the United States, “It is further agreed that, for the like period, goods, wares or merchandise ar- riving at any of the ports of her Britan- nic Majesty's possessions in North America, and destined for the United Ntates; may be entered at the proper custom house and conveyed in transit. without the payment of duties, through the said possessions under such rules and regulations and conditions for the protection of the revenue as the govern. ments of the said possessions may from time to time prescribe, and. under like rules and regulations and conditions, | goods, wares or merchandise may be | conveyed in transit, without payment {of duties, from the United States | through the sail possessions to other places in the United States. or for ex. ports from ports in the said possessions,” STOPPING FISH SHIPMENTS, In the year 1886 notice was received by the representatives of our Govern. ment that our fishermen would no long- er be allowed to ship their fish in bond and free of duty through Canadian ter- ritory to this country, and ever since that time such shipment has been de- nied, The privilege of such shipment which have : the business enterprises which been developed by mutual activity, THE POLICY OF RETALIATION.

PREPARING TO I deems it my duty, therefore, to call the attention of the Congress to certain particulars in the action of the anthori. ties of the Dominion of Canada, in dition to the general allegations already made, which appear to be in such mark, ed contrast to the liberal and friendly disposition of our country a8 in my pin. ion to eall for such legislation 7 will, upon the principles already stated, pro. perly supplement the power to inangur- ate retaliation already vested in the Executive, Actuated by the generous and neigh. borly spirit which has characterized onr legislation, our tariff laws have since 1566 been so far waived in favor of Can. ada as to allow free of duty the transit across the territory of the United States of property arriving at our ports and destined to Canada, or exported form Canada to other foreign countries, When the treaty of Washington was ne gotinted in 1871 between the United States and Great Britian, having for its object very largely the modification of the treaty of 1818, the privileges above referred to were made reciprocated and given in return by Canada tothe United States in the following language, con. tained in the twenty-ninth article of sald treaty: “Itis agreed that, for the RETALIA Eve ade ! { ) | 4 most mnportant one, allowing them to | { ably prosecuting their vocation. | and free of duty, the Canadian authori. { pendent upon their concession, and for { which we complain, and as far as possi. | en.

J In for- | bidding the transit of the catch of our voyage home and it is entitled “An act to carry into effect the provisions of the treaty be. tween the United States and Great Brit. ain, signed in the city of Washington the Sth day of May, 1871, relating to the fisheries.” After providing in its first and second eighteen to twenty-five in. clusive, and article thirty of the treaty, the third section is devoted to article twenty-five, as follows: Sec. 2. That from the date of the Presidents proclamation authorized by the first section of this act. and so long a4 the articles elghteenth to twenty-fifth, inclusive, and article thirtieth of said treaty, shall remain in foree necording te the terms and conditions of article thirtieth of said treaty, all goods, wares and merchandise arriving, ete, , ete.” Following inthe remainder of the section the precise words of the stipula. tion on the part of the United States as contained in article twenty.nine, which I have already fully quoted. Here, then, is a distinet ensetinent of the Congress limiting the duration of | this article of the treaty to the time that articles eighteen to twenty-five, inclu. sive, and article thirty, should continue In foree. That in fixing such limita. tion it but gave the meaning of the treaty itself, is indicated by the fact that to be to carry into effect the providons of the treaty, and by the further fact that this law appears to have been submitted be. A ta merbers of the High Commission representing both countries, and met with no objection or dissent, its purpose is declared fore the promulgation of certain the treaty Joint There appearing to be no conflict or the treaty the act of the Congress last cited, it inconsistency between and is not necessary to invoke the wellsettled fishermen over their territory in bond ties deprived us of the only facility de. which we could supply no substitute. | principle that in case of such conflict the statute governs the (question, SECTION TWENTY-NINE TERMIN ATED, of In any event, and whether the law The value to the Dominion of Cana. © of transit HTS en i the privileg or their! exports sried fot w to and from ports, l § | will ba better appreciated for a the is. =~ & be } the Lawrence river, which constitut of ada 18 closed by jee direct avenue foreign commerce leading to (% During ti EE and expor i mports of vinees carried aseross our territory under the amounted in value to about two hon. of d HE nearly all of which were goods dutiable by far the traffic consisting il “f six years the ts british Canadian pro- i privileges granted by our laws, | dred and seventy millions : tariff laws larger il of changes of goods between Great ’ this of ex britain and her American provinces brought to i OWnhH | vessels, The treaty stipulation entered into by our government was in harmony | ute book and are still in force. i IMMEDIATE LEGISLATION ASKED, 1 ng : : : legislative | i immediate Hine wafer upon the Executive pration of all laws and regulations i Eat tie transit of goods, wares whi of the United States to or (PLE 8 ¥4 il © in bond seross or over There need be no hesita. nehing these laws arising ition that their continu. reed by treaty obligations, te plain that article 25 of IST1, which was the only FRYE ' incorporating such laws, termin. » tired day of July, 1885, The article itself declares that its pro- ions shail be in force “for the tern of mentioned in article 88 of this i ticl foul #3 : \] Cars Turning to article 38 we find no men. tion of the 20th article, but only a pro- vision that articles 18 to 25 inclusive, and article 50 shall take effect a8 soon as the laws required to carry them into operation shall be passed by the legisia- tive bodies of the different countries concerned, and “that they shall remain in foree for the period of ten years from the date at which they may come into operation, and further, until the epira. tion of two years after either of the high contracting parties shall have given no- tice to the other of its wish to terminate the same." I am of opinion that the “term of years mentioned in article thirty-three,” referred to in article twenty-nine as the limit of its duration, means the period during which articles eighteen to twen- ty-five inclusive and article thirty, com. monly called the fishery articles,” should continue in force under the lan. guage of said article thirty-three, That the Joint High Commissioners who negotiated the treaty so understood and intended the phrase is certain, for i 1572 construes the treaty or governs ee taken by « {of Congress passed May 2, {ing that in the i and directing the Presi { notice to the go grantis { dependently of it, for, Di it, Hl tion § aty, 1 ha t pre ta oF of snch try hay terminated § WEE INOS terminate ur ge 3 articles 18 lasive, and 30 of the hese procesdings had their inception in a joint resolution 1883, declar.

CANADA'S UNNEIGHBORLY Conbuor, The history of the events connected with the subject makes it manifest that the Canadian Government can, if so disposed, administer its laws and pro, posed, administration its laws and pro. tect the interests of its people without manifestation of unfriendliness, and without the unneighborly treatment of our fishing vessels of which we have justly complained, and whatever is done on our part should be done in the hope that the disposition of the Can. adian Government may move the oe. casion of a resort to the additional ex. ecutive power now sought through lege intercourse and relatiou with the Dorm. injon of Canada furnish no better op, portunity for its applieation than is sug. y itt 2 article | terminated, ut statutes | | : 3 removal will be recognized. | | NAVIGATION OF THE LAKES, I desive also to call the atention of Congress to another subject, Anvolving such wrongs and unfair trestment of our citizens as in my opinion requires prompt action, The navigation of the greatlakes, and the immense business and carsying trade growing out of the same, treated broadly and liberally By the United States Goverment and made free to all mankind, while the Canadian raflroads and navigation compainies share in our country’s trarkportation 4 ‘ our own citizens, The canals and other public works built and maintained by the goven ment along the line of free to all, In contrast to boos are made this eowdition. 4 y Le | lok canal work of ion of Canada is subject to too mercial spirit, which is a public [4 aad the Domin.

These are subjects which partisanship should not disturb or confuse.
