The President's Blundering Veto—The Sloux City Lands—Morrison Makes a Foolish Statement—General Washington News. Changing the Site of Fort Omaha. WASHINGTON, March Special gram.|—A bill was introduced in_ the senate to-day by Mr. Manderson providing for the sale of the site of Fort Omaha, Nebraska, the sale or the removal of the improvements thereon, and for a new site and the construe- tion of suitable buildings thereon. Tt directs the sceretary of war to sell the military reservation kaown as Fort Omalia and such of the buildings and improvements thereon 1 cannot be economically removed to the sew site provided for. In disposing of the property the secretary of war shall cause the grounds to be platted in blocks, streets and alleys, if in his judgment it would insure to the benefit of the government in making the sale of the site, having due reference to the requirements of the houses and buildings Tocated on the grounds In such cases as they may be sold with the ground. The secretary of war shall also cause the lots, lands and buildings to be appraisad and sold at private or public sale at not less than the eppraised v having first been offered at public Sale. The expenses of ad- vertising and sale shall be paid out of the proceeds of the sale and the balance paid ' into tz.e treasury of the United States. The retary of war s also authorized to pur- se suitable grounds of not le E more than 500 acres in extent, to be within a distance of ten miles of the city Omaha, and construet thereon the necess: buildings with appurtenaces suflicient for a welve-company military post, to be known as Fort Omaha, in accordanee with estimates to be prepared by the war degartment, and a suflicient sum of money, not exceeding 000, is appropriated to enable the secretary of war to comply with the provisions of the act, provided that thetitle to the lands authorized to be purchased shall be approved by the at- torney general. THE PE The Towa repr the president’s action in vetoing the bill to . quiet the titles of settlers on the Des Moines river lands. The vill passed both houses al- most without opposition. It had been before congress several years, passing one branch one session and thie other the next, but never getting through both in one year. Itwas five times unanimously reported from the committees, and passed the last house as well as this one._1tis at least unfortunate for the president that the bill which he vetoed chanced to be adverse to the interests of cer- tain capitalists of his own state. Judge Pay- , . son sald to-day that there was neither edge, g side nor bottom to the veto message of Pre: dent Cleveland. He has no doubt that the bill will be passed in the house over the veto, aud predicts that the majority will be as much as eight to one. The Iowa delegation, especially Major Holmes, havebeen actively canvassing the house to- day in behalt of the bill, and they are very much encouraged to-night over its prospeets. One of the democratic members expressed himself to-day in private conversation as of q the belief that the veto of this bill would cost o 4 the party at least 10,000 votes in Iowa in the coming congressional el that the chances for the election of the demo- crats had been seriously impaired by the ac- tion of the president, and he said that he did not see how it would be possible to recover the lost ground now, even if the bill should be passed over the veto. But for all that, he should do everything in his power to secure a big vote against the president on the meas- ure. s10UX CITY ANT FORFEITURE PAS: ATE, In the senate this afternoon Mr. MeMil- lan’s bill resuming to the United States cer- tain lands granted to the state of Tow in the construction of the Sioux City & Pacifie railrond was taken up and passed atter a sharp debate.

THE WILLCOX CASE IN POINT, The Northern Pacific's Tax Shirking Methods—Senator Miller's Vacant Scat — The District Offices Filted By Cleveland. Army Circles Dissatisfiod. WASHINGTON, March 12— [Speeial.] = There isa great deal of disappointment ey pressed in army circles over the course of Sceretary Endicott towards some of the older officers who are in line of promotion. 1t is understood that the seeretary holds that the high places in the service should be filled by younger men, and that the ranking ofticer in line of promotion is not to be considered if he is anywhere near the age of retirement, The particular case in- point at this time is that of General 0. B, Willcox. whose com- mission as colonel is older than that of any other in the service at present. Willeox’s army services cover a pertod of upwards of thirty years. e is entitled to one of the promotions which will follow the appoint- mentof General Howard to succoed General Pope. Sceretary Endicott, however, has made a vigorus protest against Willeox’s selection by the president on the ground that he is now nearly 62 years of age, and that it would be necessary to place him on the retlred list a few months after the pro- mation took place. The feeling against this ruling is very bitter among army men, who say that if they are entitled to promotion, the fact that they have lived the best part of their in the servico muld not be placed as a bar inst their stepping one step higher before being relegated to inactive life on the retired list. Willeox’s friend’s are very powerful, and the president himself endorscd him for promotion to President Arthur when Cleve- land was governor of New York, and it is thought that, in spite of the opposition of Secretary Endicott, the promotion may come to Willeox. THE NORTHERN PACIFIC TAX SHIRKER, The Northern Pacific railway lobby is very aetive in its opposition to the bill which pre vides that the Northern Pacific Railway com- pany must prepare its lands for taxation by paying the surveyor's fees. This bill, it it goes through, is destined to place many hun- dreds of thousands of acres of land in Dakota upon the market at reasonable fizures. At present the company is holding almost ail of its eligible lands at such exorbitant figures that settlers cannot buy. and, instehd of thousands of farms ulong its line, the are simply hundreds of thousands of acres of prairie grass which are productive of nothing but gophers and prairie wolves. Delegate Gifford of Dakota has taken a very active part in the prepara- tion of this bill, He says that it g0 will certainly result in a radical increase in the population of North Dakota within a very few years from the time it becomes a law. THE v;\qfix;- CALIFORNIA SEAT, A great deal'of Interestds taken in the com-. ing contest in California for the seat made vacant by the death of Senator Miller last Monday. California iolds biennial sessfons of the legislature, and at present that body i8 not sitting. The governor will, therefore, be called upon toappoint a successor to Senator Miller, who will hold his seat until succecded Dby the man to be elected next winter. Cali- ! fornia men here are of the opinion that ex- Senator Sargent may be appointed tem- porarily by the governer, and they believe that his chances for filling out the balance of the term are by no means bad. WASHINGTON'S 1OCAL OFFICES, The president has now filled all the offices of the District government with the excep- tion of the register of wills, The board of commissioners, who are to Washington what the mayor and common council are to an ordinary city, has been entirely changed since President Cleveland came into oflice a little over a year ago. ‘The new board is a perfectly satisfactory one to eve pody.
