The MepOmonie Timber Bill.

The bill which has passed the senate
authorizing the secretary OF the interior to
sell timber upon the lands reserved for the
use OF the Menomonie Indians in Wisconsin
provides:
The timber is to be appraised by two dis
interested appraisers, to be appointed by
the secretary, in eighty acre lots according
to the survey. The appraisal shall state
the quantity, quality and value OF pine
timber growing on each lot. The appraisers
shall report at the land office at Menasha,
Wis, sixty days before the day OF sale,
which shall be advertised for two months
in three papers in Wisconsin. The sale
shall be held at auction, but the timber
shall not be sold for less than the appraised
value and for cash only. The purchasers
may have five years to receive the timber.
If the secretary shall deem it best for the
Indians he shall authorize the Indian agent
to employ Indians to cut all or any part
of said timber into logs and haul the same
to the banks OF the river instead OF selling
it at auction, and the logs shall then be
sold to the highest bidder for cash.

The New Irish Land Bill

The bill provides: That landlord who
Ia DESTROYS to sell his property shall apply
to the state auth GRITTY. The latter shall
refer the application thus made to a land
commission, which, after making an in
quiry, shall fix price at which the prop
erty shall be sold, unless the landlords and
the state authority have previously come
to an agreement. II the landlord objects
to the price fixed by the commission, he
may withdraw his application on paying
the costs. When sale OF property has
been executed the commission shall pay
the creditors before making any other distri-
button of the purchase money. Certain rent
charges may be bought outright by the
state authority, or payment may be con-
tinued from the tenants repayments. In
case OF property wheron there is reason
able cause to suppose that valuable min
erals exist, the commission shall add to
the purchase money fair sum for said
minerals, and the minerals realized from
said property shall be vested in the state
authority or such local body rs the Irish
legislature may provide. The Irish receiv
err general and deputies, who are to execute
the financial part OF the act, shall be APP.
pointed to hold office as permanent civil
servants, subject to the authority oil

the imperial exchequer, but the
Irish government shall appoint ten actual
collectors. If the receiver general or any OF
his deputies shall be guilty OF malfeasance,
the culprit shall forfeit the sums SO lost,
and also be fined $500. The measure EN-
powers the treasury to create three classes
Of permanent annuities, bearing interest
respectively at 3, 2X and ~ per cent; and
which will be charged to tho imperial con-
solidated fand. Strict rules are provided
which forbid the subdividing or subletting
OF a holding so long as it is subject to any
state charge; but the state authority is
empowered to relax these rules where he
may think it advisable.
The other points OF the bill were July
covered by Mr.. Gladstone's speech.

And here is what the Intelligence

to Senator Vest:
