MILLS. The Latter Characterizes a Ruling of the Chair as an Outrage. THE LAND FORFEITURE BILL, Under Consideration in the Senate This Afternoon. SENATE, After the transaction of some routine morn- ing business of little public importance the consideration of the land forfeiture bill was resumed. Mr. Plumb, who has charge of the bill, discussed Mr. Call's amendment as to lands in Florida, and said that there was no evidence before the Senate (outside of that Senator's statement) that there was any considerable number of ne on the lands in question. f the amendment was adopted it would cast aclond on the titles of all persons to railroad lands in Florida; and the bill would be not a bill of peace and quiet but a bill of destruc- tion. Ho was bound to assume that the legis- lature of Florida and the governor of Florida in certifying that the roads had been built and the lands earned had acted properly. And he was bound to believe that nobody's rights had been trampled upon by those acts. He then passed on to the general subject. AN ALLUSION TO THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. He closed his remarks with an allusion to the democratic side of the chamber as being infin- enced in its action by geographical and sec- tional differences, Mr. Berry replied to_that allusion and then went on to discuss the Florida amendment and the bill generally. He believed in standing by the contract. * Mr. Mitchell—Does the Senator hold that where a railroad has been completed, but not within the time limited in the grant. and where an act of forfeiture has not been passed, the company is not entitied to the land? x. Berry—I have so stated it and I restate it. He went on to say, in detense of democrats in Congress, that nine-tenths of the republicans had voted uniformly against the forfeiture of railroad lands earned out of time and that the democratic House anda imajority of democratic ators had voted the other way. lorida amendment, he said that it to abont 600,000 acres outside riginal limit and which had never been granted to the railroad company or to the state of Florida, and that of this 600,000 acres 83,000 were OWNED BY A WASHINGTON LOBBYIST, who got them asa fee for iis services in the Interior Department. He charged that the republican side of the Senate, in opposing the amendment, was true to its instincts in favor of monopolies. PALL OF THE OKLAHOMA BILL. At this point Mr, Platt offered a concurrent resolntion (which was agreed to) requesting the President to return the Oklahoma bill, He explained that (owing to anerror of his own) the word ‘west’ had been used in place of the word ‘east’ in the description of boundaries. ' é Argument on the land forfeiture bill was then resumed. Mr. Pierce (Tenn.), rising to a question of personal privilege, denied a statement made a few days ago by Mr. Evans (Tenn.) to the effect that there had been bailot stuffing in his district, The Speaker ruled that this did not present a matter of personal privilege. Mr. Pierce responded, sharply, that thought it did. The Speaker said that the gentleman had no right to make such a response to the Chair. Mr. Mills (Tex.)—Why did not the Speaker stop the gentleman from ‘Tennessee (Mr. Evans) the other day? The Speaker—The Speaker was not present when that occurred. Mr. Mills—Then you ought not to stop the gentleman from Tennessee now. ‘The Speaker—That does not follow. Mills —It does follow. Speaker—The chair does not desire to enter into any personal controversy with the gentleman, and he thinks that if the gen- teman will reflect he will not persist iu the im- proprie Mr. Mills—I do not see the impropriety, when one gentleman charges another with fraud. The Speaker—-The gentleman from Texas will please be in order. Mr. Mills—I am in order, and the Speaker is more out of order than the gentleman from Texas. The ruling is simply an outrage, ‘The matter was then dropped. _ TRRIGATION RY ARID LANDS, On motion of Mr. Lanham (Tex,) Senate res- olution was concurred in concerning the irri- gation of the arid lands in the valley of the Rio Grande and the construction of a dam across that river at or near El Paso for the storage of its waste waters. The President is requested to enter into negotiations with the government of Mexico with a view to the irrigation of the valley : An amendment was agreed to requesting the President to include in the negotia all other subjects of interest which may be deemed to affect the present or prospective relations of the two governments. LIEUT. LEMLY'S LEAVE, On motion of Mr. Cutcheon (Mich.) the Ben- ate joint resolution was passed authorizing Lieut. Henry R. Lemly, U.S.A., to accept a position under the government of the Republic of Colombia, THE CASE OF DESERTER DAWSON, The House then proceeded to cousider a bill coming over from Friday and removing the charge of desertion from the record of William Dawson, This soldier was a prisoner during the war, and in order to escape the hardships of prison life enlisted in the confederate army and subsequently returned to the Union army, Mr, Tarsney (Mo.) opposed the measure, Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) reviewed the history of the case and defended the condust of Dawson, Mr. Tarsney said that the lo soldiery of the Union would brook no such insult as the passage of this measure would be to them. Mr. Cutcheon (Mich.) said that Dawson had lied to get out of prison. and the gentleman from Missouri would have lied, too. He (Mr. Cutcheon) forgave the man who, after eighteen months’ experience of Andersonville, did lie in order to get out. Bs ned (Wyo.) advocated the passage of e bill. Mr, Williams (Ohio) said\the War Depart- ment had no right to record Dawson as a de- serter, his term of enlistment having expired while he was in prison. ‘The bill was passed—yeas, 127; nays, 88, A bill was passed increasing to #100 a month Rear Admiral he the pension of the widow of Nicholson. bill was passed. forthe” diopowal of the ert was e Fort Sedgwick military reservation in Sime and a, THE P. 0, APPROPRIATION BILL REPORTED, Mr. Bingham (Pa.), from the committee on post offices and post roads, reported the post office appropriation bill. Culendar, ae BUSINESS IN THE HOUSE. The Representatives Looking to an Ad- journment as Soon as Possible. THEIR FENCES MUST BE LOOKED AFTER THIS SUMMER AND FALL—MEASURES WHICH THERE. WILL BE AN ATTEMPT TO PASS DURING THE SESSION, There ig a strong determination on the part of the House committee on rules, which is the steering committee of the House, to hurry through only such measures as are essential at this time and political measures, and to secure an adjournment as soon as possible. Both parties are preparing for the campaign this fall, which will determine the complexion of the next House, and it is not the purpose of the repubiicans to be handicapped by a long session dragging through the summer months, with the attending responsibility for a great mass of legislation. MR. REED'S RESOLUTION. A resolution has been drawn up at the sug- gestion of Mr. Reed, to be offered in the repub- lican caucus tonight, providing that the tariff bill, the silver bill, the Morrill limited service pension bill and the federal election scheme shall be disposed of during the session. It is ex- pected that there will be a strong opposition to the Lodge election bill, and possibly to any other that may be presented. PROSPECTS OF THE PARK BILL Its Friends Hope It Will Pass on the Next District Day. Friends of the Columbus Park bill are hope- ful that when it comes up in the House again on the next District day on the motion to re- consider it will be passed. The strength of thé opposition was not real- ized at its full value yesterday, and little ac- tivity was manifested in bringing in the lag- gurds. The House on all the votes was re- markably slim, the final defeat coming ons vote of only 78 to 88, WHEN THE BILL COMES UP AGAIN. When the vote for reconsideration comes up onthe next District day the committee, with a full knowledge of what is to be met, will go into the fight better equipped and it is the general opinion of the members that with a full House the bill will have eve: hance im its favor. Mr, Hemphill said to a Stan reporter today that he thought the bill would be successful ultimately. ‘MR. ATKINSON'S VIEWS. Mr, Atkinson and Mr. Hemphill managed the bill yesterday, Mr. Grout being absent. The former gentleman said today that in his opiu- ion with proper effort the bill would be passed on the next District day. The opposition, he said.had proved stronger than was expecte and jts strength lay mainly in misconceptions as to the District, its needs and the value o' property. Many members did not understand this park’s project or had distorted views concerning it. If every member of the House could be taken out to the proposed site and have the situation explained and the value of real estate in that neighborhood put fairly before them he had no doubt of the bill passing by a good majority. SOME MISCONCEPTIONS, “Why,” continued Mr. Atkinson, “there are any number of members: who have the very vaguest notions of the value of real estate in the Roek Creek region. During last session while this park was being discussed I took one of the western members out to the site, He looked it over crit and then astonished me by re- marking, Why, Atkinson, I would not give any igh fan ne Bee, fe, thie and Its Ne, m ad ter ari than in tale oe ~ “S50 anacre. That's the way with many of the members. They do not understand the value of the real estate and, in the absence of infor- mation, they use the value of land in their own localities as a unit.” Mr. Atkinson further remarked that the amendment which had been adopted assessing the amountof increase in value on the adjoin- ing real estate would have the resuit of greatly decreasing the cost to the United States and to the District, THE DUTY ON HOSIERY. Tariff Hearings Before the Ways and Means Committee.
