Mr.. PINK NEY'S LETTER.


Mr.. Livermore offered the following res.
olution:


Resolved, That the President of the UNI
ted States be requested to cause to be laid
before this House copy Of any letters or
dispatches which may have been received
in the Department of State, and do not re-
quire secrecy, from Mr.. Pinkuey, our min
lister at the court of London, since bis re-
ceipt of The letter of the esd Novembe
1909, from the Secretary of State, commu-
nicated to this House by the President on
the 29th of said November.


Mr.. Smile said he saw what was inten.
ded by the mover of the resolution. 1t
was wished tina; the House would deny the
call. It had already teen denied in Mass
achusetts that such a letter existed and if
the call was refused, they would produce
the refusal as proof Of their assertion. Ii
IT was proper to publish private letter, he
sad he wished to see it, to put to silence
those people in Massachusetts.


! Mr.. Cook wished the resolution to pass.
He said it would be inferred from a refusal
to pass it that there had been no such letter
or that i was no, of the purpors which it
was SAID to be. II might be an unofficial
without being confidential letter. Whe.

would be received.


MIR. Livermore said that he had been
told by gentlemen in conversation that in
formation hae. been received by the Secrc
tary OF State that the doings of the British
minister here were disapproved by its GOV
ernment, and that new minister would he
sent out. If this was the fact, it was ver,
Important that the House should know il


The gentleman from Pennsylvania seemed
to suppose that the mover wished the reso
luton not to be adopted. How in the nam
OF common sense or candor, Mr.. L. aske d
could 1t be supposed that the resolu,io,
was introduced for the purpose of being re
jected?
Mr. Van Dyke said he had heard it sal,
that letter had been received bv the Sc
cre'ary of State going TO this object: ,ha,
) Notwithstanding the dismission of Mr.
Jackson, the British government retaine,
an amlcable disposition, that Mr.. Jackson,
, conduct was disapproved, that he would b

reduce the army and navy-was it no, pro
per, previous to decision on this motion
S 10 know whas was the situation of affairs
Aud It such letter was in existence, ourh
not the representatives of the people /,
have it for their information


Mr.. Nc Kim said he had no. seen n
letter, but he had understood the purpol
