Washington, March 4. - The Loud
bill, to correct alleged abuses OF the
second-ciass mail matter privilege,
which last year passed the house by a
majority of 144 to 104, was buried IN
der by an overwhelming majority by
the house. The vote was not taken dl-
rectly on the bill, but on a motion 10
lay ii on the table. BY a vote OF lo2
to 119, the motion was carried. Forty
seven Republicans joined with the
Democrats and Populists In accom-
plishing this result, and ten Demo
Gratis voted with the majority OF the
Republicans. The refusal of Mr.. Loud
10 permit a vote on an amendment at
the last minute was responsible III II
measur for the result, but the
strength of the measure undoubtedly
waned throughout the three days de-
bate.
In the senate.
During almost the entire session the
senate had under consideration the
Alaskan homestead and railway rlght
of way bill. One of the features OF the
discussion was q speech delivered by
Mr.. Vest of Missouri, in which he rldl-
culed the idea of homesteading any
part of Alaska or constructing ran
roads in that district. His motion TO
eliminate the homestead feature of the
bill by striking out the first section
was defeated.
washington, March 5.-After n de.
bate lasting several days the senate
passed the bill extending the home
stead law and providing for right of
way for railroads in the district OF
Alaska. Comparatively little discus
sion of general interest was created
by the bill. Section 13, providing for
certain bonding concessions TO Canada
in lieu of privileges TO be extended by
the dominion government TO this II
try, however, induced a pretty lively
debate. as it brought into the coptro-
versy the old fisheries question on the
New England coast, which has been
pending between the United States
and Great Britain for a hundred years.
The statement was made on the floor
Of the senate that there was every
reason to believe that after the pass.
age of the bill the fisheries question
could be settled without great effort.
as assurances to that effect had been
received from a large and influential
element in Canada.
In the House.
Two more appropriation bills were
sent to the president yesterday, the
pension bill and the consular and dip
lomatic. both Of which went through
their final stage in the house. II was
private bill day. The most important
action taken taken was acquiescence
in an agreement to make the bill ap-
prorriating $4,000 o for war claims
approved by the court of claims under
provisions of the Bowman act, a spe-
cial order for next Friday. At 3 o'clock
tAe house recessed until s o'clock. The
evening session was devoted TO pri-
yate pension bills.
