Feb. 4, 1887, the President approved of the 

 measure. 



Non-Intercourse. Jan. 19. 1887, a bill was re- 

 ported in the Senate from the Committee on 

 Foreign Relations, " to authorize the President 

 of the United States to protect and defend 

 the rights of American fishing-vessels, Ameri- 



can fishermen, American trading and other 

 vessels in certain cases, and for other pur- 

 poses." January 24 it passed the Senate by a 

 vote of 46 to 1, the negative vote being cast 

 by Senator Riddleberger, of Virginia. The 

 measure is as follows: 



Be it enacted, etc., That whenever the President of 

 the United States shall be satisfied that American 

 fishing-vessels or American fishermen, visiting or be- 

 ing in the waters or at any ports or places of the Brit- 

 ish dominions of North America, arc or then lately 

 have been denied or abridged in the enjoyment of 

 any rights secured to them by treaty or law, or arc 

 or then lately have been unjustly vexed or harassed 

 in the enjoyment of such rights, or subjected to un- 

 reasonable' restrictions, regulations, or requirements 

 in respect of such rights, or otherwise unjustly vexed 

 or harassed in said waters, ports, or places ; or when- 

 ever the President of the United States shall be satis- 

 fied that any such fishing-vessels or fishermen, hav- 

 ing a permit under the laws of the United States to 

 touch and trade at any port or ports, place or places 

 in the British dominions of North America, arc or 

 then lately have been denied the privilege of entering 

 such port or ports, place or places, in the same man- 

 ner and under the same regulations as may exist 

 therein applicable to trading-vessels of the most favored 

 nation, or shall be unjustly vexed or harassed in re- 

 spect tncreof, or otherwise be unjustly vexed or har- 

 assed therein, or shall be prevented from purchasing 

 such supplies as may there be lawfully sold to trading- 

 vessels or the most favored nation ; or whenever the 

 President of the United States shall be satisfied that 

 any other vessels of the United States, their masters 

 or crews, so arriving at or being in such British wa- 

 ters or ports or places of the British dominions in 

 North Americaj are or then lately have been denied 

 any of the privileges therein accorded to the vessels, 

 their masters or crews, of the most favored nation, or 

 unjustly vexed or harassed in respect to the same, or 

 unjustly vexed or harassed therein by the authorities 

 thereof!, then, and in either or all of such cases, it 

 shall be lawful, and it shall be the duty of the Presi- 

 dent of the United States, in his discretion, by proc- 

 lamation to that effect, to deny vessels, their masters 

 and crews, of the British dominions of North America 

 any entrance into the waters, ports, or places of or 

 within the United States (with such exceptions in re- 

 gard to vessels in distress, stress of weather, or need- 

 ing supplies as to the President shall seem proper), 

 whether such vessels have come directly from said 

 dominions on such destined voyage or by way of some 

 port or place in such destined voyage elsewhere ; and 

 also to deny entry into any port or place of the United 

 States of fresh fish or salt fish or any other product of 

 said dominions, or other goods coming from said do- 

 minions to the United States. The President may, in 

 his discretion, apply such proclamation to any part 

 or to all of the foregoing-named subjects, and revoke, 

 qualify, limit and renew such proclamation from time 

 to time as he may deem necessary to the full and just 

 execution of the purposes of this act. Every violation 

 of any such proclamation, or any part thereof, is here- 

 by declared illegal, and all vessels and goods so com- 

 ing or being within the waters, ports, or places of the 

 United States contrary to such proclamation shall be 

 forfeited to the United States ; and such forfeitures 

 shall be enforced and proceeded upon in the same 

 manner and with the same effect as in the case of 

 vessels or goods whose importation or coming to or 

 being in the waters or ports of the United States con- 

 trary to law may now be enforced and proceeded upon. 

 Every person who shall violate any of the provisions 

 of this act, or such proclamation of the President 

 made in pursuance hereof, shall be deemed guilty of 

 a misdemeanor, and, on conviction thereof, shaH be 

 punished by a fine not exceeding $1,000, or by im- 

 prisonment for a term not exceeding two years, or by 

 both said punishments, in the discretion of the court.
