But Mr., Morrison wanted to remain at the head of the latter committee just as Mr, Hewitt desired to be there. Naturally, in all this schemin which it i id Mr, Mrrison i to the work that was to take Mr, Hewitt from W and meansand make him chairman of naval aflairs, a good deal of bad blood was engende: Both Morrison and Hewitt are crusty in their dispositions and bull dogs in fighting, so when the majority members of the ways and means eame together in- confer- ence last Friday, there was kood deal of snarling between these two men, The pro- ceedings were private and those present re- fuse to divulge much, but enough is known to show that there was a great deal of warm blood shown, and that there is trouble ahead, Mr, Hewitt wants a free raw-material tariff bill reported, while Mr. Morrison and the other democratic mewmbers of the committes insist that the bill the committee shall report must make a gen; reduction; that it wusy el + the free list, but by placing woolen goods, sugar, salt and other articles of com- mon use on the list.

Wasmyaroy, Jan. - Commissioner Sparks to<lay promulgated an important de cision affecting the elaims of the Northern Pacifie railway company to the grant of land between a point on the Columbia river near Portland, Ore., and Tacoma, on Poaget Sound, in Washington territory. Commissioner Sparks said the road batween these points was authorized to be constructed by a joint resolution of eongress in 1860, without a land grant. ‘The original act of 1534 provided for amain line of road across the Caseade moun= tains to Puget Sound, and a branch from a point not more than 800 miles east of the wostern terminus, passing down the Columbia river to & point at or near rtland, but made no provision for o road nt between Portland and Paget Sound, The railway company lay claim to a_grant for this portion of e road under a joint res- olution of congress of 1870, which provided that the company might construct its main line down the Columbia river and its branch across the Cascades with the same grants as provided for by the original act of incorpe tion, Sparks holds that no grant was made by the original act for the construetion of a road trom Portland to Tacoma, and none by the act of 1564, No sueh grant can be pre- sumptively dvawn from the joint resolution of 1510, He holds that no such grant was made by any of th of congress, and says he does not find th formal decision lias {4 ever been mado by the interior depart- ment holding that the joint resolution of 0 embraced @ it of lands ween said points.
