by commissions appointed by the Governors "l
the States. The latter plan is the one now before
Congress, in the bill Of the Emigration Commission
ers and "a believed to be the more economical ana
satisfactory of the two.
FAR play requires that this bill shall be passed at
the present session of Congress-, but it is very
difficult TO get the attention of members to 1t, or to
make them understand the obligations of other
states besides New-York in the matter. The New
York delegation in Congress, at a meeting called by
Mr. Potter during the last session, agreed unam-

TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WAsHINGTON Dec. 13.-The debate that has thus
far taken place upon the bill to distribute the bal
ance of the Geneva Award dsclOses considerable
growth of sentiment in Congress in favor referring
all claims to n portion Of the money to judicial
tribunal, to be passed upon in accordance with the
natural rights of the persons or corporations bring
ing suit. This Is the principle of the bill now pend
ing. When this question first presented itself 10
Congress- Only one member of the House judiciary
Committee, Mr.. Potter, favored this principle
Subsequently a minority Of the Judiciary Committee
voted with Mr.. Potter, but the majority was
against him. Now the majority of the Judiciary
Committee has reported bill providing for just
such q distribution, and there is possibility That
the House will pass it. The Senate at the present
time will however, hardly agree to It. The bellei
of nt'cmcn who have gwen the subject much AZ
teution is that the balance of the Geneva Award
will never ne distributed, but that IT will he COW
cred into the Treasury and thus be offset against
the Fisheries Award.
