SENATE.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE senate took
up the calendar and passed number OF
private bills.
The Indian territory railroad bill, grant,
ing rght-oi.way to the ST. Louis 4 San
Francisco railway, coming up us unfln-
ishcd business, Mr.. Hawley denounced IL IN
the amended form in which 1t came from
the railway committee, ,as an attempt to yio-
late the treaty rights OF Indians under tho
pretext of ratifying an act OF the Choctaw
counsel, He said the bill proposed to seize
thcirlands without providing any system
! for adjusting the rate of compensation;
therefore he could not conceive oil treaty
in which the United States
would have the right, In the proper
legal sense of the term to pass
legislation in contravention of the treaty,
but that duty required the government to
exhaust all other remedies before going to
that extremity. He decided that remedies
had been exhausted in this instance, and
asserted ,hat in setting apart the Indian
country for railway purposes the govern
ment was overriding its uniform practice
heretofore. "My chief concern, /" he added,
sis not because ] see the Indians wronged,
but that my government, with 1000 TO 3D.
600 Indians, will do that which il would not
dare to do under treaty with Great
Britain, want Uncle Sam TO be q gentle
man.
