law. The Mexici IN Government has ap-
pointed an inspector of railways, whose

ST. PAUL, June 26.-Mr. Oakes, Vice
President uf the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company, was seen late tonight in
regard to the report Of the House
Committee on Public Lands FORGETTING
portion of the land grant of his road.
Mr.. Cakes said very little, If any
thing, could be added 70 what has al
ready been said in regard to this at
tempted injustice TO the Northern Pa
cific. He claimed that as they were GO
ing along in good 18th to complete the
line, and had shown by what they had
done that they were ut work in good
faith to carry oat tue contract With the
Government, and added: I'VE are at
work nov building fromAinswortn west,
and have constructed Is miles from she
Ainsworth end and Is miles from the
position that the land grant Ia
actually n.ade. and for specific pur-
devoted to any other object. We oon-
cede the right Of the government 20 dis
pose of the land to build the road, bu'
We do not recognize the right of tcs
government to use the lands for any
Otucf pufpO4o. Auo kftut - tuG bpo-
cific object. The people demanded She
road. TO other roads the government
gave money, TO this one land. Had the
government stepped in when the read
failed to be completed Within the
time specified, and taken the lands and
used them for the purpose OF finishing
the road, that would have been q
different thing. but IL did not
do this. The government says the road
10 finished after the time specified
In the grant, and madt no objection to
the managers of the road going on and
tinisbing u under these circumstances,
and has no right now TO withdraw the
lands from "a unless il does 30 to CON-
plete the road itself.
