§ MR. DAVITT (Mayo, S.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can state when papers dealing with recent events in Samoa will be presented to Parliament; and whether it is intended to place any papers upon the table of the House before the end of the Session relating to the disputes between the United States and Canada over the Alaska boundary question and other matters of contention between the two countries.
§ * MR. BRODRICKNo papers with regard to Samoa can be presented until 1542 the full Report of the Commission has been received. It is believed that the Commission will shortly leave Samoa. With regard to the second paragraph of the question the negotiations on the Alaska Boundary question are still in progress, and it would not therefore be practicable to lay any papers on the subject before the House at the present time.
