Special Disvatch to The Chicago Tribune, Pl WasHINGTOY, D. C., Jan. 29.—Senajpr Ed-- munds lifted his eyebrows again to-day against the Lake-Front bill, but there were only eight Senators who followed him in his amendment, which was.in the apparent interest of the Valentine scrip claimant. and the bill was passed with but/one additional - amendment, and now lies upon the Speaker’s table in the House. It is the purpose of the Chicago members to keep the bill there until - it can be taken up and passed., ‘There is'zood Teason to think that it will pass, although the Valentine serip claimants and persons whose ‘motions are not understood seem ‘to be. or-- . A CONSIDERABLE LOBBY AGAINST IT." -: The- procecdings in the Senate prior tothe - passage of the bill were. interesting: . There = Davis: Conkling ® sdcrificed ;the-Valéntin scrip -clainiants in a speech-which the Spe lative engineers of that claim .may well- wi unspoken.: Edmunds’, objectidn to the bill to-day were: First, he thought that private -~ rights, if any, should ,be bétter -pratects second, that the Government should receive : compensation for the surrender of its title. - He deniedsthe right of Congress to decree ° that three-fourths of the abutting owners, for Instance, should sizn’away the rights of- the other one-fourth. It seemed to:be - e A MATTER OF NO CONCERN TO-EDMUNDS that David Davis persisted that the bill in- - terfered with'no private rights,” and that it - was necessary to obtain the consent of the . abutting owners elther voluntarily of by pur- chase, or,’ failing in botl, to condémn their Tights for; public use under theJaw-.of- emi- nent domain. The only amendment addéd to the bill which has not -already been printed _in these” dispaiches was am additional section which proyided that nothing contained in the act 'should affect the title of the Govermentto Block 1 and the streets and waters surroundlng it in. the Fort Dearborn Addiuon. The object of this amehdment Is to preservé the right of the Government to the water approach atthe northern end of the land. JUDGE DAVID DAVIS = then moved an amendment, which he con- sidered necessary, as he thought. The power to sell or convey carried with it the lesser power to lease, but, he'said, at the request of some over-scrupillous person, he would add the words ** or lease,” so that the Common Coungil is specifically given the power to 1éase, sell, or convey. This was adopted. The other amendment was the proviso al- ready telegraphed: that all railroad com- ™ panies desiring to shure in the depot build- ing and the right of -way should have the right'to do so upon the payment of the pro- portiondte cost. This' donme, Mr. Edmunds began his fight against the form ‘of the blll, although he did not seriously seem to object tothe passage of some bill. He admitted that his objections to some features of the Dbill were based upon the protest signed by . - A CIHICAGO LAWYER NAMED ' LEONARD - SWETT, z who, he was informed; was an - honorable gentleman. Mr. Swett's protest was simply the argument of the “Valentine scrip claim- ants, with which the Chicago peovle are thoroughly familiar. Mr. Edmunds insisted that the Valetine scrip case was in the Courts, and. that the Constitution of the United States did not give the Senate the* power to decide the cases He claimed, moreover, that his amendment would protect the rights,‘if any, of ndverse claimants, including the-abutting ownners and the rival railroad “com- panies, as well® as the Valentine scrip claimants. In accordance with this theory he moved the following amend- ment, which. be said, was customary in ali bills of .such character—viz.: “Nor shall this act affect any valid and legal ad- ‘verse private ‘right” Later on, Edmunds proposed to add, if desired, the- historical - words, “ if any.” Upon this amendment THE ONLY DEBATE - upon tho bilt proceeded, as, after it was dis- posed of, the bill was passed viva voce, Mr. Edmunds alone voting in thenegative. Judge Davis, with an indiznation which Chicagb ‘people will weil understand, sald:- ** Ido not Want Congress to recognize any of tiis Val- entine scrip business. - It is too 'bad,—the ° idea that Congress ever intended that Valen- tine, a California speculator, should get this land 1 i L B . Mr. Edmunds—I wiil*add. “If any such exist,” in order’ to prévent any recognition of the Valentine scrip, as there certainly 18 none ia'the Senate. g - Mr. Tharman protested that Mr. Edmunds” amendment was _entirely needless, as the United States gave no guarantee to convey any title, but sinply waived itsright. He also ‘denounced the Valentinescrip claim-
