Van Wyck's I Wasminaroy, Feb [Special Telegram. | ~In the senate to-day Mr. Van Wyck ealled up and passed his bill affecting real and per- sonal property held by defunct national banking institutions, It is a measure of very general importance, and will likely sccure an early passage - the house. It provides that wherever a receiver of a national bank finds it necessary in his opinion, in order to fully protect and benefit his trust to the ex- tent of any cquities that such trust may have in any proverty, real or personal, by reason of any bond, morigage, assignment or other tegal and proper elaim attaching thereto, and which said property is to be sold under any execution, decree of foreclosure, or proper order of any court of jurisdiction, he may v the facts in the case together with his opinton as to the state of the prop- erty to b so sold and the value of the equity his trust may have in the same, to the comptroller of curreney, together with a re- quest for right and authority to use and em- ploy so much of the money of the trust as may be ncessary to purehase such property at such sale, and with the approval of the comptroller of currency and the seeretary of the treasury he may draw upon s as may be in his custody or deposited with the treasurer of ihe United States for the purpose of which the allowance was made. This wili give receivers of national banks an opportunity to protect real and personal property belonging to their trust from sac- ifice by foreed sale, Senator Van W pondent this e troduced portant Bills. Kk said to the BEg corres- ening that the bill he intr resterday to confirm entries of lands made under the land laws of the United States was intended to, and doubt- jess would, settle whatever dispute there may be between settlers and the general land oftice growing out of a reversion or different fon of the laws and rulings by the tion, and promulgated by other administrations. It would, too, quiet any fear that the settlers may have in the future on account of changes of administration, Mr. Van Wyck intends to give this measure personal attention, and believes it will be- come alaw. It provides that any entry here- tofore made under the land laws of the United States, in conformity with the rules, regulations and decisions of the general land office and interior department at the time such entry was made, is confirmed to the extent, and shall be perfected and pro- ceed to patent the same the rules, n lations and decisions had not been reversed or modified; provided, that such entry must have been made in good faith, and no charges of fraud have been made against the same,and in case any charges of fraud have been made, they shall be investigated in the same manner and with the same effect as if the rules, regulations and decisions under which the entry was made had not been modified orreversed.

All the proposed amendments went with the bill. The Dakota bill was then placed before the senate, and Mr. Logan obtained the ioor, but gave way for an tive session, after which the sénate adjourned.

WYOMING'S WIND BLOWERSs Mass of Measures Before the Lawmakers fod the Weal of the Territory. SQUAT ON THE STOCK GROWERS Sessions of the Territorial Council Convene Not for Their Special and Financial Benefit—Pros- pective Legislation, Wyoming's Assembly. Curyesse, Wyo, Feb, 2. [h]wlnlLl~'l‘h‘ past week has been a very busy one in the legislature, and the lawmakers will start in to-morrow on the fourth week of the session with a mass of proposed measures for the weal of the territory, which cannot help but make them feel that they no sinecures Owing to the fact, prineipally, that so many. bills have been introduced—over thirty in the®) house and about a dozen in the council—th time of both houses hasibeen occupied in pre. liminary consideration of them, and but one has succeeded in getting into the governor’s hands, That s a Dbill provldol&p for a school house at Rawlins to cost $25,000; The bonds to be issued are 8 per cents of nof less than §50 cach, and are to be sold at fa value. James France, William Jungquist, C. Miller and J. C. Friend are named as tl committee on constrietion, and they are give bonds each in 85000, ) The custom of ordering a copy of encfl newspaper published in the territory for each member led to the introduction of a resolus! tlon to this effect eatly in the session. THe| argument over it has occupied a good deal 9] valuable time in both bodies of the legisldy ture, and it was thought to be finally settl last ‘Thursday, when a conference committee report against taking any of the papers was made and accepted (by both houses. but on Friday Mr. Deloney, of the council, who had been rusticating at Pueblo during the week, re- turned, and about the first thing he did was 1o bob up serenely with a notiee of another resolution ordering the papers. ‘The field is therefore tobe fought over again, The total ex- penses of the papers would not be more than 500 and the time which has been consumed, it would scem, in debating tl ing them, is worth more th; Me(Cormick has introduced a bill for construction of a jail at Buffalo. wo bills having in view the construetion court house at Sundance, Crook county, re introduced similtaneously in the house and council on the 2ith.

Their hall be £5 per day for the tual time they are to he engaged, this, nount embracing expenses, By far the most important fact conneeted with this legislature is one which probably will never appear upon the surface of the proceedings. 'This is that the Wyoming Stock Growers association will not occupy the greater portion of the time of the session with bills intended to afford it financial ag- ance, This has come about in a w;i which, under th umstances, Is somewha peeuliar. For some weeks it has been knowp that the stock association contemplated thé introduetion of bills which would appropriaté i regate about $25,000 ot of the ter; ury.

"I'he Sun was the first to speak, and it declared in unmistakable terms tha the statute books contained all the legislation which embraced appropriations in tavor of the stock association that the territory could reasonably stand. A meeting of the execus tive committee of the association was called and the editor of the Sun was sent for. Thé interview was brief and to the point, and the executive committee was informed that thy Sun would declare war on any measure whieh looked toward the expenditure of more money for any of the association’s purposes. The executive committee deliberated and decided that an attempt to force legislation would be too big a contract and, in consed quence, only one bil! is to be introduced, and that is an amendment of the maverick law; “Ihe substance of it will be that the mavericks will be sold at the end of every day t8 the highest bidder for cash or a certified check, ; A bill isbheing progressed as fast as possible which provides for the encouragement of troe planting.
