debate lasting several days the Senate
late this afternoon passed the bill eX-
tending the Homestead laws and pro-
yiding for right of way for railroads III

little discussion Of general interest was
created by the bill. Section 13, prOyid-
ing for certain bonding concessions TO

tended by the Dominion government to
this country, however induced pretty
lively debate, as il brought into the
controversy the old fisheries question OH
the New England coast which has been
pending between the United States and
Great Britain Il hundred years. The
statement was made on the floor of the
Scnate that there was every reason to
believe that by the passage of the bill
the fisheries question could bc settled
without great effort rs assurances to
that effect had been received from a
large and influential element in Canada.
The Senate at 800 went into cXecu-
tive session and at 5;20 p. III. adjourned
until Monday.
