CITY OF WASHING Tor
CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate, to-day, Mr.. Webster entered on hi
promised vindication of the treaty of Washingtor
Of 1912, and the correspondence accompanying ID
negotiation. He had been impeed to this course
he said, by remarks from various quarters in both
houses of Congress, disparagng the treaty and the
course pursued by the American negotiatov. The
honorable gentleman gave a heightened historical
sketch Of the negotiations relative to the north
eastern boundary for fifty years previous to the rat'
fcston Of the treaty, and confined himself, to-day,
TO defence Of the settlement Of that question made
in the treaty. He spoke for nearly three hours, and
will tomorrow resume his defence.
In the House, the committees for the first time,
during a long period, were called for reports. The
House subsequently went into Committee Of the
Whole on the state Of the Union, and resumed, to
benches almost entirely deserted the debate on the
Cumberland road bill, which was continued during
the two hours TO which its existence had been limit
ed by the resolution Of Saturday. The COMMITTEES
then voted on the amendments offered, and finally
reported the bill to the House in the form OF an APP
preparation Of land, as proposed by the substitute Of
Mr.. Wick, and not Of money as contemplated by
the original provisions. In the House no final nc
on was taken, and the bill stands as the unfinished
business Of tomorrow. II any man doubts il, he
