Mr. Speaker. the resolution now pending from the Committee on Foreign Atfairs. aid to which the assent of this House is asked. does not absolutely reject the proposition of the gentlemun from New York to terminate this treaty in 1878. It.is true the report expresses the very decided opinion that the operation of that treaty has been beneficial to the naturalized German citizen. It also concedes the fact that there are alleged ambiguities and omissions in that treaty which are well withy of the negotiati eqs now pending between the two governments. But it assumes that the treaty was an important diplomatic triumph upon our part which ought not to be hastily or unwisely surreiidered.
