Boston, June 10.-The senate put an
end TO the free transfer fight by refusing
TO reconsider the rejection of the eight
mile bill. and the house enacted the new
pipe line bill. Other bills passed TO be
enacted were Incorporating the Mas
sachusetts Maritime Canal company:
providing for new Suffolk county re-
formatory; providing for state tax of
I,I50.000. providing for the preserva-
ton of the Bulfnch front: authorizing
the appointment OF two additional
justices for the superior court. One Of
the most important features of the day
was the signing of the union station bill
by Lieutenant Governor Wolcott. He
also signed the veterans preference bill.
and number of bills OF minor Impor-
tance. In the intervals, while the house
was awaiting papers from the senate a
recess was taken, subject to the call Of
the chair, and 10 amuse themselves the
members had mock sessions. The legis-
lature held an evening session, but was
unable to finish all its business Pro-
rogation will probably occur today.

ON THE LAST LAP.
Senate and House Make Good Progress
Toward Adjournment.

Washington, June 10.--The house yes
terday gave it's final approval to confer
ence reports on two OF the four appro-
priation bills which were In issue-the
naval and Indian bills. A vote taken on
the senate public building amendments
TO the sundry civil bill (Savannah) just
prior to adjournment indicates that the
opposition 10 these amendments in the
house is waning. and that the house will,
on the next vote. agree TO them. These
amendments and the electric lighting
and sectarian charities items in tho
District of Columbia bill stand between
congress and final adjournment. 1t was
the opinion OF the house leaders that an
adjustment would be effected, and final
adjournment reached by Thursday at
the latest. Most OF the day in the house
was devoted TO the consideration of the
Aldrich- Underwood contested election
case from the Ninth Alabama district.
Mr.. Aldrich was given the seat by "a
vote of 116 TO 107. Fifty Republicans
voted with the Democrats against this
action.
The senate agreed to final conference
reports on the naval and Indian appro-
priation bills. leaving only the sundry
civil and the District OF Columbia con-
ference reports outstanding. The reso-
luton for an inquiry into the circum-
stances of the award of the statue of
General w. It. Sherman occasioned an
animated debate. The resolution was
finally defeated. The bill TO amend the
law respecting punishment for con-
tempt of couit was discussed. but final
vote was not reached The measure IN
the result OF the agitation over the i'm
rrisonmcnt of Eugene V. Debs and
others for contempt. An effort TO pass
one OF the pension bills recently vetoed
by the president failed through. the

Two Alternatives.

Habana, June l0.-The government is
giving considerable consideration to the
question Of assisting in some manner
the laborers on the plantations who are
now out of work as result OF the sugar
crop having been harvested. If they
are allowed to remain in idleness there
is little doubt that they will go over 10
the insurgents. Under these circum-
stances 1t is considered absolutely neces-
sary to find some work for them to do.
