Chairman Cobb, of the public lands COM
mittee, said yesterday that while he had not
canvassed tho committee on the Northern
Pacific land grant question, he believed that
the members would be almost unanimously
in favor of forfeiture; that, as there are legal
questions involved in the Northern Pacific
land grants that do not appear in the cases of
the other roads it may require some time to
reach conclusion, but he had no doubt that
the result would be to report to the house in
favor of declaring its grant forfeited. Mr..
Cobb thinks the question of forlciting land
grants is purely judicial one, but, as the
United States supreme court has decided it
to be a legislative act, the committee would
go on and do its duty. The same general
principle applies, he said to all the roads
that have failed to comply with the pro-
visions Of the granting acts.
