RETAINING THE DOMAIN
.,,,%D or THE HOUSE ON THE
NOKTHERN PACIFIC GRAB.

rbe Committee Recommends the suhst-
,-iou of the House BiJ for that OF
.se senste-33.OOO 900 More Acres
rorf.,tsd by Jhe Provisions of the Lat
.tban by Those of the Former Meas
ure.
WsUINGTON, July 26.-m the House
o.dav MIR. Henley, Of California, from the
committee on Public Lands, reported
soc. the Senate bill torfeiting certain Of
.ba lands granted to the Northern Pacldc
Raiiroad Company. The committee re-
,onmeuds that in lieu of the Senate bill
,bare he substituted the provisions OF the
House bill ON the same subject. Mr..
Henley stated that the distinctive differ
once between the two bills was that while
tha senate bill forfeited the grant from
WAnla junction to Portland, the House
hnl included also the forfeiture of the
,rent from Bismarck to the Pacific ocean.
Ibg House bill forfeited 33,OOO,O0O acres
more than the Senate bill.
THE DEMOCRACY'S INTENTION.
Asan earnest, he said, of the determi-
pation of the Democratic party to fulfill
the pledges made in its platform there was
Drought lOI W al u u blll w IOIiO tlC
most valuable of all the grants which had
ey4r been made in the history of the gov
ornment to any corporation. The Demo-
cratic party proposed to make this bill a
test Of its fidelity to its pledges. The
complaint had been made III the Senate
tbat il this and other forfeiture bills were
PASSED rank injustice might be worked TO
The railroad corporation, and this COM
1laint had been made as though it were
possible for Congress to work diVestiture
If any legal right.
Mr. Eaton, of Mississippi, supported
he Senate bill.
A COMMUNISTIC CRY.
Mr.. Price. of Wisconsin, could lind
nothing IN the platform of any political
party which could justify Congress in
violating an express or Implied contract,
as was done in the House bul. He was
not willing to bow so abjectly before the
COmmunistic cry Of I'd the rail-
reads" as to break contracts
and to break the pledges of parties in ma
uoual conventions. 1t was demagogy
In the lowest and meanest sense.
MIR. Voorhees,, of Washington Terrific
ry. favored the House bill declaring that
there were high reasons of public policy
why the land grant of the Northern Pa
cite Company should be taken from its
control, as far as this could legally be
done.
DEFYING THE LAWMAKERS,
He pictured what be characterized as
lhe oppression of the railroad company as
practiced inv ashington Territory, assert
ing that it dictated laws relating to rail-
road taxation and set at defiance every
legislative action of the people.
Mr.. Oates, OF Alabama, argued against
.he equitable and legal power of Congress
to pass theSenate bill.
Mr.. Payson, OF Illinois, entered upon an
exhaustive review Of the case, but pend
ng the conclusion OF his remarks the
House at O'clock adjourned.
