FRANCE PASSES FINANCIAL BILL
 YLARGE VOTE

PARIS, France, June 27 (P)-The Senate passed the Caillaux financial bill by a vote of 226 to 29 yesterday, after the deputies had passed the bill advocating the measure which in creased the note circulation by six billion francs.
 In discussing the measure M. Gail laux said: Tt may be an audacious policy but sometimes audacity brings confidence. I do not dissimulate the gravity of these measures but at the present time they are the only rem edy. France will climb again to the top of the financial hill down which she has been slipping. The first step of the upward climb is that not one centime of expenditure shall hench- forth be contracted unless such ex- penditure is fully covered by cores bonding receipts. There must be no moratorium holders of French bonds which must be paid at maturity"

SENATOR (. C.DILL OF WASHINGTON
 VISITS SEWARD

The permanancy of the Alaska fur and fish industry is the outstanding impression gained thus far, by Sena- tor c. c. Dill, of Spokane, who arriy- ed in Seward this morning from Se- attle Senator Dill was greeted upon his arrival by several prominent To- cal citizens and officers from the U. s. s. Cutter Haida, on which yes sel he departs for the Prililofs this afternoon, primarily on a pleasure trip.
 Senator Dill stated to the Seward Gateway representative, that the trip to the islands has it's serious aspect as we'll for next year the seal treaty expires, and it is expected quite a lengthy session over the matter will gressmen. Senator Dill expects to fortify himself with a personal con- tact on existing conditions at the world-famous sealing grounds, gain ing such information as will be pos sible during his brief visit to the islands, in order that he will under stand the situa ton more clearly when the treaty comes up to be acted upon at Washington, D. c. next year. The seal industry has always inter- ested the Senator, and he remarked, when a boy he was fascinated in reading of the discovery of the seal ing grounds by Pribilof. He has ney- CT forgotten the story.
 Regarding Alaskan problems, Sena- tor Dill stated it was the desire of the majority of the members of Congress to take away as many ob- structions as possible, which might hinder development of the Territory. He wants to know if Alaska citizens advocate an Alaska Bureau at Wash ington; he wants to learn more about Alaska, and believes the only way to get in direct touch with af- fairs, is to make a personal trip, in order to arrive at clear under standing of the entire situation.
 The Senator appeared greatly in terested in the road and trail prob lem of Alaska, making numerous queries of The Gateway representa- tive with regards to conditions. Sen- ator Dill will return to Seward not later than July 12, departing at about this time over The Alaska Railroad, accompanied by Noel w Smith, general manager of the rail- road, and other officials. While in Fairbanks the Senator will decide whether the return trip to the coast will be made over the Richardson Highway or back to Seward via the Alaska Railroad.
