The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1886-06-11
PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

sENATE.-Thosenate had under discussion
the bill reported by the committee on public
lands to forfeit that portion OF the
Northern Pacific land grant from Wal
to Portland over which it is
understood the company does not
not want to build. Van Wyck tried to
amend the bill SO as to forfeit al thelands
west OF Bismarck, with the exception oft
right OF way, but withdrew it and substi-
tuted a modified amendment. Before any
action was taken under the amendment
the regular order-the e~ulogies on the late
Senator Miller-was taken up.
HousE.-Wednesday was spent in fill.
clustering on the oleomargarine bill. This
~factious opposition w~asindulged in because
the friends OF the measure would not per
init any reduction to be made in the spec
ial tax rates imposed, which in the case OF
manufacturer OF oleomarearine are fixed
at 5000 per annum. The opposition
claim that these rates as well as the
tax OF 10 cents per pound, are excessive
and unjust, and are prescribed to destroy
the industry in the speci.tlinterest OF dairy-
men. Many opponents OF the measure are
willing that the manufacturers shall be
placed under federal law and regulation,
but will not consent that a law shall
be made that will entirely suppress it.
Representative Breckenridge of Kentucky
reported favorably from the committee on
ways and means a bill to provide:
Manufactured tobacco, snuff and cigars
may be removed for export to a foreign
country without payment OF the tax under
such regulations as the commissioner OF in.
ternal revenue shall prescribe. The bill al
90 repeats section 1851, OF the Revised
Statutes, authorizing the appointment OF
one or more inspector OF cigars in each col
lection district, to receive ascompensation
such lees from manufacturers as the com
missioner OF internal revenues may pre-
scribe.
SENArE.-The bi II to forfeit the land grant
OF the Northern Pacific railroad from Port.
land to Wallula created n good deal of in
terest in the senate, and the amendment of.
Senator Van Wyck to include in the for.
feiture seventy-tive miles over the the Cas-
cade mountains awakened an antaronism
that will probably de feat the bill. Son.
ator Edm unds minated that the
bill would never pass with that provision
in it, and sa id that the remaining six
weeks OF this session were not long
enough for that purpose. Some of the sem
ators hold that the Van WICK am
confirms to the Northern Pacific all of
the land it now holds, EXCEPT those
included within the provision, and there
fore they object to it. Other se,a.
oIS olleCU u lDIIblIllu Une Elnu IN the
Cas- cade branch on the ground that the
railroad ne eds it to complete the
line, is faithfully ~endeayoripp TO do so
and that the inhabitants of the territory
should have the benefit Of n road in tbat
Pacific.
