Some discussion followed, Several Senators declared their purpose to offer asanamendment the House bill to forfeit all the unearned lands of that frailroad. ‘This was Opposed and an effort was made to procure an agreement that the House amendment should Not be offered, but it was not successful. ‘Those who favored general forfeiture contended that it was a mere pretense to pass a partial bill, and that the country would so understant It, [ihe bill was, subsequently taken up in th the Senate, and Mr. Van Wyck offered the amendment to make the forfeluure general. ‘The caucus committee was taken to task for having fixed an “order of business” three or four weeks ago without giving Senators who are not members of the committee a chance to be heard, Senator Platt was asked not to press his open session resolution to a vote at present, but tolet itgo over till next session. He did not assent to this, but uo positive understanding was reached upon the subject. ‘The reference of the labor arbitration bill to. gaucus committee does not remove It from the jurisdiction of the committee on education and jabor asa matter of legisiation, but, as It is a subject that may involye important political consequences, the republicans want to guard against mistakes.

The conferees on the free bridge bill held thelr first meeting to-day, and atter a full discussion the opinion was reached that the House amend- ments are generally satisfactory, The matter has not yet been finally determined, but it is pretty safe to say, as foreshadowed in THE STAR some days ago, that the bill substantially as it passed the House will be accepted by the conferees. There does not seem to be any ap- prehension as to the government's power to Procure a good title to the Aqueduct bridge, and the Three Sisters’ site is revarded as out of the way. it seems quite clear that no bridge will be built at the Three Sisters, but the ques- Uon of finally accepting the House bill may be held inabeyance by the confererence commit- tee until the reply of the War department shall have been received to the Senate resolution inquiring xs to the feasibility and cost of a bridge al the toot of New York or New Hamp- shire avenue.
