FIFTEENTH YEAR. UNCLE ~ SAM'S SERVANTS. | Discussing Oleomargarine in the House The Marriage, VAN WYCK ON LAND GRANTS. Wednesday, June 2, the Eventfual Day ~Postmaster Watson Confirmed ~-Blg Fight Between Der cratic Factions, Senate. Wasmsaros, May 2% The charr Iaid be- fore the senate Mr. Wilson's resolution, of fered yesterday, providing for investigation by the committes on Indian affairs into the manner of appointments of Indian tiaders by the commissioner of Indian aftairs, AMr. Dawes thought the ession too far vaneed to take up such an investigation. After some debate flie resolution was re- ferred to the connmittee on Indian afl The senate then resumed considerat the Northern Pacitic land torfeitn ending question was to lay on the Yan Wyck's amendment forteiting all | co-terminus with and adjacent to such of the proposed lines 1 mpleted at th e of the passace of thisact. The mot b Jay on the table was lost—y : ie question reeurred on the adoption of dhe amendinent. Mr. Van\Wyek's bill for the taxation of rail- road Tands was then placed before the senate, andunder the plan ot diseussing this bill the debate on the Northern Pacitie forfeiture was continucd. Mr. Edmunds ealled attention to the fact that the cffect of the procecedings thus far on the NorthernPacitic forfeiture bill was just the same as il the senators had all been employed by the railroad company to “bedevil™ the bill and to do nothing at all in the matter to which it relawed. He reminded My, Wyek that only a little while ago tha tor had proposed to zive, out of the funds of the United States—for that was what it amounted to—a subsidy to the Union i railroad company—from lands on wh bevond was intended to ad- TS, United States had a mortgage far ly their value— whieh sub: aid the building ot r 15 in Nebraska. Doubtless Mr, \'im W ould explain his ¢ 1t wa consiste wood for the fic to have the United States funds with which to build railroads in Nebraska, why was it not_good for Washingte rritory that the Northern Pacitic finish its road througli that territory? VAN WYCK AWAKE n Wyek did not think the senator nont need be anxious about the kIng anv mistake about se ng “all employed by the railroa He did not think the word nion should be employed o an at- tempt to widen the provision of the Northern Pacitie forfeiture bill so as to cover lands that oughit tobe forfeited. It was evident from the way the bill had been reported from the committee that it was intended to give an advantage to the railvoad company: tha it propo: to forfeit only what the railroad compiany were willing should be torfeited. He thought it had been “engineered” in the interest of the railroad compan Considerable debate ensued M. Van Wyck and Mr. Dolph as to the etween what railroad company did or did not_ want done to with regard to” forfeiture the Wallula branch, and between Mr. n Wyek and chell on that and other points, r. Mitcholl maintaned that whatever n Wycek’s motive might be, the result of ction would be that the company would retain some three or four million acres of lands as to which there was no controversy about the right to forfeit, and would thus ne into the hands' of the comy the longer we delaye ¢ confident would the com- pany b question must be settled some time, and might as well be settled now. M. Plumb read the bill heretofore introduced by Mr. Van Wyck to provide for the organi- zntion of stock companies to build br: of the Union 1 i d, and suzg that it was inconsistent with the position as- sumed by that senator to-day. Mr. Van Wyck defended his po: ion, and a protracted debate ensu cipated in by M Van Wyck, Edmunds, Plunb, Dolph, Vest, Mitehell and ‘others, but it re- sulted’ in no action on the bill before the senate. After executive session the senate adjourned until Tuesday night, House. WASIHINGTON, On motion of Mr, Morrison it was ordered that when the house adjourns to-morrow it be to meet on Tuesday next. The house then went into committee of the whole, Mr, Springer in the cl on the oleomargarine bill, the pending amendament being that offered by Mr. Daniel, reducing the special tax on retail aealers rom $43 to X Mr. Van Schaick presented a protest from the exccutiveboard of the Knizhts of Labor of Milwaukee against the biI'S passage. Mr. Gibson regarded the whole bill as a frand, and theamendments as simply aiding 1o caury out that fraud. It professed to be a bill in the interest of farmers, while in fact it was a bill in favor of the grasping dair men around the great eities who notoriously watered their milk and made nasty butter for the people.

He was opposed to any legislation mes? but it is which would interfere with any legitimate Industry. He was unwilling to sco any legiti- mate industry stricken down and destroyed by frandulent wethods. He was in favor of Jégislation which would comrel manufae turers of oleomarzarine to place it on the market under its true name, but he was op- posed to legislation which would n-nliuf,\ wohibit its manufacture, ~ No poli I e allowed toenter into this question, but he wished t nind the gentlemen from New Yok (Hiscock) that there was as many op- Joncuts provartionally to his bill on the re- lican side as on the democratic Lie amenduient subwitted by Mr,” Daniel wis rejeeted, Mr. Hanuuond mov, 1 to strika out the clause requiring oleomargaring to be packed in new wooden” packages.
