The Treaty Passes the Commons.
SPECIAL TO THE WORLD.
Ottawa, Ont., April 19.—The bill introduced by Sir Charles Tupper providing for the legislative enactment to put into effect the treaty recently entered into by the United States and Canadian Commissioners at Washington came up for its final reading Monday in the House of Commons. In opening the debate Hon. David Mills, Liberal, said that he understood that within twenty-four hours the Senate of the United States will have dealt with the treaty by either rejecting or accepting it, and in view of this he thought it was impolitic on the part of the Dominion Government to force the debate to a conclusion until it was ascertained what the Americans intended doing.
Several of the leading members on both sides of the House spoke, the Liberal side, including Sir Richard Cartwright and Laurier, taking exception to many details of the treaty, yet agreeing in the end to accept it in the absence of anything better the Government had to offer. The bill passed without division.
