I think it may be accepted as a rule upon questions of that kind that a merely temporary treaty. which covers matters embraced in a permanent treaty. does not abrogate the permanent treaty. In so far as the temporary treaty may conflict with the permanent treaty. the former but temporarily suspends the pemanent treaty. That I will establish by precedents which were cited in the hearings before the Committee on Immigration two years ago. But before I do so. I desire to call attention to some matters in the treaty of 1894 that I had not noticed before I spoke yesterday.
