Mr.. v est SAID the statement was incorrect
he had been notified time and time again
that unless he withdrew his opposition to the
scheme to build railroad through the park
the park would be broken mp. The railroad
company had lobby in Washington, COM
posed OF newspaper cOrrezp Oudents and
others, who were engaged In assailing sena-
tors and attacking their character. After
further discussion tee senate, on motion Of

/ prOvement of the Mississippi river from the

/ he stated that the effect of the action would
| be to leave the house provision still IN con

ceived in the treasury shall be re-issued.
| The amendment was rejected, 81 to n. and
the clause was agreed to in the shape recon-
mended by tire committee on apprOpEIa-
| tiOns. The next question upon which q
/ hitch occurred was the senate amendment
! reducing from S5O,OOJ to $4,000 the apprO-
priatiOn for the protection Of public lands
/ against fraudulent entries. The committee
/ on appropriations recommended concur
renee in the amendment, but Mr.. Holman
moved a uOn-cOnCurrenc6 and made e
/ speech, in which he stated the necessity Of
protecting the peoples land against tribu-
lent entries. The motion to nOn-cOucur

/ having been exhausted MIR. Burrows had re-
I course to the vetoed bills still remaining in
/ the committee, and by motions to discharge

! ton again completely blocked the way.

agreement. After another roll call, how
ever, Mr.. Dunn withdrew his objection, and
IN accordance with the terms of the agree
ment the house took up for consideration
