THE CANADIAN CONFERENCE.

unless public opinion makes itself felt that this
may occur through the action Of the Senate
Committee on Appropriations in striking out or
the General Deficiency bill as il came from the
House the item Of $4,000 for the expenses Of
the American commissioners in meeting the
Canadians who have already been appointed in
pursuance to an agreement entered into with
this Government. Unless either the Senate
overrules It's committee or the House of Repre-
sentatives insists retaining the item In the
