THE DAILY BEE--SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1885, —— — — ———————— o VAN WYCK'S VICTORY A Brlliant and' Snocessful Battle Against Corporate Land Grabbers. The Senate Forced to Pass the Texas Pacific Forfeiture Bill, The Railroad Benators Kuocked Out by Nebraska's Senior. The Kansas Sugared Plumb De- serts the Measure, But Huntington's Billet.-Doux the Vacuam =The Victory keto Fills Special tolegram to the Brg, Cicao, February 20,—Tho Washington svecial aays: “'It is a great victory, It is more than I over expected to get out of the senate this year. No amendments were adopted, excapt those of tha committes. All amendments in tended to defeat the bill were voted down, It is the clearest forfeiture bill we have had this year.” Theso aro the exultant remarks of Senator Van Wyck after tha passage of the bill to for- feit the land grant of the Texas Pacific road for which he has labored so earnestly and of which he had charge. THE BILL WAS PASSED by aa very largs majority, haviog occupied the attention of the senat3 for but one eession, The fact that none of the obstrustion amend ments were adopted is not less surprising than that 8o little t'me was devoted to its consid- It was evident that the pur. pose of 1ha oppponents of the bill waa to dofeat thameasnre by talk, Morgan's amendment, providing for referen question of forfeiture to the United courts, was undoubtedly intended dire defeat the bill, and the epesches of Blair and Morgan were ull that the most enthusiastic railroad lawyer and advocata could bave made, They delivered the main argaments against the bili, Inregsrd to Van Wyck's reply to these, the Chicago Times’ Washington corres gond— ent_telographs: “‘Van Wy k took the flosr in support of the bill, and lsft its opponents WITHOUT A FOOT OF GROUND to start on, and he made several gentlemen very uncomfortable by reading topious selec: tions from thut interesting batch of letters written by Huntington while he was fighting Tom Scott, who was at that time trying to get congress to supplement the land graut to Texas & Pacific with the sub-idy.” ¢ Referriog to Ven Wyck's victory the Times also eayi: ‘“‘Seoator Van Wyck achieved a victory that must have surprised him. He got ths Texas & Pacific land grant forfeiture bill pased with only two dissenting votes, The senators have tried to stave off sction on this bill, and they nearly succeeded, but THE PERTENACITY OF VAN WYCK and presmure of public opinion were too much for them, and they had to passit. The bill was nominally in_charge of Plunb, chairman of the public lands committee, but it it had been left to his care it would never have got before the senate. He has absented himeelf twico when the bill was tha special order, and it was his business to call the bill up, and to-day, when it had the right of way, bo wade arraogement with Moign. an opponent of the bill, to This would bave put the bl charge of a _gentle. man_who was unfrieadly to it, and Van Wyck, who would not otherwise have cut nnder the chairman of tho committee, had no heritation in antic'pating Morgan and callivg the bill up himself. The bill would not have gone through the senato as it did to- day, bus for the facs the senators have been pretty severaly criticized for allowing it to be di«p'aced twice when it was at the head of the special calendar. Some of ths repub- lican senators who the other day voted to dis- place it in favor of the contract Jabor bill have manifested a good d-al of nervousness ever sivca over the record they bad made, and have been quite anxioas for a chance to vote for the bill. e — The 1linois Pross Association, JAcKsONVILLY, TIl., February 20.—The an- nual meeting of the Illinols Press association, which has been in session here for the past three days, adjourned to.day, Nearly 100 members were present aud the meeting has t und profitable one, The fol- were elected: M.
