Lands Not Expected.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-The Inter Oceans
| Washington special says: The crusade Of
the House Committee on Public Lands
| against the railroad schemes does not ap-
near to be serious. Conservative men in
both Houses, and of both parties, regard
| IL az buncombe, and expect it to end in
the Senate, which never does anything
| hastily. and has a very strong railroad ele-
ment in it's composition. Even the most
| active railroad men in the Senate do not
| EXPECT a general forfeiture OF the granted
| lands, and hope only to secure restoration
| of such domain as the railroads have not
| taken measures to occupy. Genuine
projects, such as the Northern Pacific,
| will not be interfered with. But long
| abandoned schemes will undoubtedly be
| deprived Of whatever past Congresses have
granted them.
