WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE bill to
promote the safety of employees and
travellers upon railroads by compelling
the railway companies to equip their
cars with automatic couplers and con-
tinuous air brakes was finally disposed
of in the senate today. The substitute
for the house bill of last session was
agreed to and the bill passsd--yeas
SO, nays 10.
The only other important piece of leg
islstion done was the agreement to the
finance report on the Notifications bill
and the making of the Nicaragua canal
bill unfinished business.
A controversy, in which good deal
of heat and personal feeling was mani
tested, arose upon the motion of FELTON,
Of California to take up for considera-
tion the Joint resolution to provide for
the appointment of q commission by the
secretary OF the interior to appraise the
improvements made by actual settlers
upon public lands, holding in good faith
under the United States in the Sequoia
and Yosemite reservations in California,
and for other purposes. Dolph
objected, but the senate decided
to take it up. Dolph then made long
speech, the chief object of which seemed
to be to consume all of the morning
hour. This he succeeded in doing, and
the joint resolution went over without
action. The railway car coupler bill now
goes back to the house. The negative
votes on it were given by Blodgett,
Brice, Daniel, George, German. Harris,
Morgan, Sawyer, Stewart and Vance.
