estimated at 10000 to 10000. The green

Ross demanded voucher for the arms of
his rangers, which was at first refused, but
afterwards granted. Gen Reyes stated he
had sent Col. Forsythe formal warning
that any body of armed men found on Mex

Washington, June l9.-Messrs. Town.
send of Illinois, Knott of Kentucky, Poyson
of Illinois and Culberson of Texas, min
ority of the house judiciary committee have
completed a supplemental report and reso-
luton recommending that lands granted to
the Northern Pacific be declared forfeited
The resolution and their view in support of
it will be submitted to the house as soon as
practicable. The report, after giving an
extensive history of the doings Of the COM
pany, reaching the conclusion that il had
been lavish in expenditures, the committee
concludes that applying the auditors esti-
mates, however, to tho entire grant, the re-
suit will be the value OF 81, ,926, 900 acres at
81 so, or, Sl44, SOC, GOO. The estimated cost
of the road finished is s24, 353, 36l, and the
unfinished portion s50,iI0,0G0; total cost
S74, ,462, AIT, leaving a balance of SO, $780,
5S4 donated to this corporation in addition
to the whole cost of the entire system of
subsidized lands for which the United States
is never to receive a cent in return. Furth-
er comment would be superhuous, and the
undersigned would simply add that in view
OF these facts it is due to the house and
country, not only that the substance of the
land grant should be fully and fairly dis
cussed, but that congress should take such
prompt and decisive action in relation
thereto as will be just alike to tho company
and people. They therefore ask that the
accompan wing joint resolution be placed on
the calender of the house and recommend
it's adoption; that all lands heretofore grant
ed to the Northern Pacific railroad COM
pany and remaining unearned by ccnstruc-
tion on the lst Of January, 1892 lie and
they are hereby declared forfeited.
