Mr. Sutro to-day called on Srna u,
i.!;nundS. Chairman of the Senate Ju
dietary Committee. and requested hin
to permit the supplemented mining bill
with the Nesley amendments. TO remain
"a the calendar without fuItlIcl
action. Mr. E,imunds informed him
that be considered it his duty TO cali NJ
the bill as soon As possible and to have
it indefinitely postponed. He said tina,
he would not countenace any act to ill.,
;erfere with the legal rights of the par
ties interested The next inovemen,
will be to compel all miners to apply for
patents or forfeit their rights.
We find the foregoing in the Wash
iuSton dispatches to the Sacramento
Record. Yesterday We received By mail
from Mr.. Kendall the following copy of
Bill introduced into the Senate on the
5th inst by Mr. Pratt of Indiana The
prediction in the foregoing. that The
next movement will be to compel all
miners to apply for patent or forfeit
their rights seems verified in this kill
Here it is:

OF course it was SUtro's hope to lave
this bill slipped through the Senate IN
observed. He is acute enough to know
that # i. were introduced, first, in the
House ii would be enough debated there
to make its real provisions known and
thus the Senate be put upon their guard.
Bet there is little likelihood of its pass
