the Boring sea differences between
the United States and Great Britain
provoked animated debate, Mr.. Cock
rpll offered an amendment to the pend
ing deficiency bill which appropriated
$4,000 for the expenses Of another
commission of arbitration to adjust
the claims of Canadian sealerS seized
by the United States. The amendment
was in the line with suggestions in the
letter received from Secretary GreSh-
ann. Mr.. Sherman opposed this sec
ond arbitration, saying that it was
dSilonorable and unwi$e that the
United States had not paid these
claims through, the compromise of
S425, 900 heretofore urged by the pres
ident. The contest was so effective
that Mr.. Cockrell withdrew his propo-
sition. The deficiency bill was kept
steadily before the senate throughout
the day and passed after a struggle of
three hours.

bill, and the bill to pay West Virginia
it's share of the direct tax refunded by
the act of 81. An attempt to pass the
senate bin to impose penalties upon
corporations and railroad companies
for violations of the interstate COM
mece law exposed an alleged scheme
to secure action on the pooling bill in
the senate, it being claimed that the
senate would attack the pooling bin
lis a rider. So effective was the al
legged exposure that although the bill
itself has been given nothing but COM
mendation on the floor. it was de-
featcd. Mr.. Hatch attempted to pass
the bin to publish dairy tests made at
the Columbian exposition, but it be-
ing claimed that the publication was
in she interest of a particular breed
of cattle. it too was defeated.
