terpose any fresh Legislation to dis
turb the senate's program for wind
ing up the extra session.
Only six days remain before the
final vote is reached on the Canadian

port of the bill are expected with a
view of making clear the position of
the democrats and republicans who

stands. Messrs Stone Of Missouri and
