RAILROAD LANDS.
Van Wyck has reported to the
senate his bill agreed upon by the
committee on public lands, which
proposes to compel railroad COM
panies to pay taxes Oh land granted
by the Government. 1t provides that
lands for which companies are en-
titled to the purchase on payment of
the expense of surveying and yet
refuse to take patents, shall within
one year after the time the company
becomes entitled to patents, be for
feited to United Ststes and made
public domain. The Union, Central
and Kansas Pacific, are slid to be
the companies principally affected by
this measure, the amount of lands in
volved approximating 105 ,000, 900
acres, located in Kansas, Nebraska,
Colorado. Wyoming, Utah, Nevada
and California.
NEW STATES.
Bills for the admission of Dakota
and Washington Territories into the
Union as States, will be brought up

Burrows, chairman of the committee
on Territories. Burrows says
strong effort will be made to secure
their passage, but he has very little
hope of succeeding, as the Demo-
Gratis are determined in their OPPOSE

increase of Republican power in Con-
gress or in the Electoral College.
