tives Cobb, of Indiana. Duff and Rose

communication 10 Secretary Teller, ask
ing him not to allow the filing on record
in the Interior Department of anv mort
gage made by the New Orleans Pacific

assert that these lands we're declared
forfeited by the Judiciary Committee of
the House of Representatives of the
47th Congress; that the bill for the con-
solidation of the southern Pacific and
Texas Pacific roads, by which the for
mer hoped to acquire n shadow of title
to the lands, was twice defeated in the
House, and the Southern Pacific could
not by assignment from the Texas Pa
cific acquire any valid title to the latter's
land grant.
