Northern Pacific Forfeiture Bill.

WASHINGTON CITY, June l7,-Judge Pay
son, of Illinois, one of the oldest, most ac-
tive and influential members of the house
committee on public lands, and Senator Van
Wyck, who has taken q very prominent
part in the debate and WORK upon the meas
ure in the senate, assured United Press re-
porter Wednesday that the Northern Pa
citic forfeiture bill, which passed the senate
Tuesday, will be passed by the house at this
session. The house committee will disagree
to the bill as it passed the senate, and ask
for conference. Then 1t will ask for pro-
lection to settlers under the forfeiture and
some minor matters which the senate
is willing to grant but will refuse to make
any further forfeiture There seems to be
a very general and decided opinion that the
bill will be adopted with whatever further
amendments the conference may agree to
at this session

that the figures We're exact, not only because
the returns were made 10y regularly sworn
officers but from other sources of calculation
which hold good as to other cities. The last
pages eff the city directory for 1856 are now
ready for the press. We find that there are
two hundred and fifty-one pages of names
with thirty five names to the page, or SIS
names. We do not know the rule for esti-
mating population by the names in a
directory but some cities multiply their
directory by 80, others by 81, Others by
Taking the lowest figure and Wichita would

WATCHED

70 the Editor Of the Eagle.
About 3 p M, yesterday large audience
assembled in the opera house in the thriving
city of Belle Plaine, to participate in an old
fashioned love feast and general rejoicing
over the completion to that city of the Den
yer, Memphis & Atlantic railway.
The meeting wasfalled to order by Thom-
as Donohue, treasurer of the road, and stated
the object of the meeting and introduced to
the audience the spokesman" Col. J. w.
Fornev, who went over the history of the
road, from its first starting point in the
mind of President J. j. Burns to its compile
tiOn." After stating the trials and tribula-
tions through which Mr.. Burns had passed
the ups and downs-the discouragementsa and
want of faith by the public, he justly eulo-
gized on the feeling that Belle Plaine and the
community felt for J. J. Burns. He said
"When the road was in its darkest passage,
what said j. j. Burns! Why, j. j. Burns
said--come up in front, ladies, you can
find Seats = He also said, ~. J.
Burns, ON behalf of the feeling of the citizens
of Belle Plaine, and as a slight token of their
appreciation of your efforts for onr city, al
low me in their name to present you with
this gold watch and chain" In response Mr..
Burns said literally nothing. 1t is the first
time your correspondent saw j. j. Burns
nonpuzzled, but this was a complete case.
He tried to stammer out his thanks, but
tears and emotion put a period to his speech.
The watch is a massive gold, Mansard
case, originally plain on each side, but Que
side is occurred with monogram of j. j.
B.. while the other bears the inscription of
Presented to J. j. Burns by the citizens Of
Belle Piaine"
Other speakers followed We saw a pacE
age on the speakers table, evidently contain
ing present for some one else, bat as train
time came, the writer had to leave. All in
all. it was a gala day for Belle Plaine.
