HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, from lhe
,rea, number of resolutions presented on FIJI
IA, last, there is no likelihood that the COM
,o0i,,ees of the House will lack business Tor
,one weeks to come. Some OF the resolutions
sisred. and which lay over for discussion, are
;m,or,ant, inasmuch as they will be likely to

Go,ded that no CONS promise which the United
States ought to accept can be effected


2. Resolved, That 1t would be dshonor to
The ave in which we live, and in the highest
degree dscredltable to both the nations con-

gnlIoy the allure to settle the controversy while
.h,s resort is still untrled,


1. Resolved, That arbitration does not neces
,arlv involve reference to crowned heads

ahle and dispassionate citizens, either lrom tn

,;onable alternative.
