The contest over the Duluth q Win.
nipeg land forfeiture bill resulted in a
deadlock on account of seven icing alb
sent. The bill was on general orders, and
when the senate went into committee OF
the whole, Mr.. Buckman, who opposes
the measure, moved to take it up out of
regular order, which was carried. Mo-
ton to indefinitely postpone was lost by
a tie vote-19 to ~; and Immediately the
motion to recommend the bill for passage
was carried by one majority, the vote
standing twenty in favor and nineteen
against. Then the friends of the bill who
were intent on forcing ithto passage with
all possible speed, moved that the COM
mittee arise, which motion was carried,
20 to IL. Their opponents tried to force
an adjournment, but could muster only
nineteen votes, while the friends of the
measure had twenty on vote; and the
senate, therefore, continued in session.
Mr.. Pope again moved the indefinite
postponement of the bill and called
for the previous question: but the
senate was at tie on the
ordering of the previous. question.
Then filibustering tactics were resorted
to. and several motions to adj0urn or to
take arecess were lost in deadlock. The
senate II en- settled down to while away
the time as best it could. 1t was some
time after noon before it was announced
that the leaders of the contending forces
had agreed on truce. An Adjournment
was taken till Monday with the question
still pending. -

That most important measure occupied
less than an hour in actual discussion,
and was finally passed by the same
vote as it would have received had i
been voted on as soon as reported back
by the committee. The bill as it now
stands confines the action of the original
bill to cities of 10000 Inhabitants, as
shown by the last census.
After the passage of the Keyes election
law the house went into the committee

HOUSE. ..
Mr.. Davenport's bill proposing con-
stitutional amendment allowing mort
cages to be exempted from taxation was
defeated by vote of 81 to 46. -,
The house spent the morning on the
calendar. and working in slow, per-
functory manner, succeeded in clearing
it. There were but two important bills
in the list, one of which was the Roberts
bill waving the Duluth and Winnipeg
forfeiture. Mr.. Searle tried hard tohave
the bin referred to the Judiciary con-
mittee, but roll call on this proposition
resulted in tie vote, 43 to 43, so it was
lost. The vote was then taken on the
passage of the bill, and it, too, was lost
by vote of 43 to Al.
For more than four hours the house
debated the meat inspection bill, and at
7:15 it became law, so far as the legis-
lature can make it 80. For several days
there have been skirmishes between its
friends and foes. The former were con-
fident in their strength and the latter
had resorted to annoying tricks of par
liamentary practice to stave off the con-
sideration. 1t was only by recourse to
the same practices that the friends of
the bill were able to bring it up. The
final vote on the passage of the bill re-
suited, II yeas, 20 noes. =

The Republic of Colombia as an Eel Dor
ado.
Harper's Magazine

The country for the most part, owing to
the inequalities of It's surface, presents to
the eyes magnificent and beautiful pano-
ramas. Here are steep mountains. there
deep and extensive valleys, and further on
broad plateaus, the inhabitants of Colon
bia thus enjoying in the topic every vari
ETY. of temperature: for as the savant Cal
das says in speaking of the different eli
mates of this region: ''It is only neces-
sary to descend distance of from ten to
fourteen leagues in order to pass from
polar SHOWS to the heat of Senegal >
The forests of Colombia abound in trees
which are used for building purposes, for
dyeing, and for cabinet-work; and balsamic
plants and gums, medicinal and otherwise
useful to man, are no less abundant. In
the exhibition of natural products which
took place in the capital of there public In
1870 there were more than seven kinds of
the above mentioned woods.
The country abounds in the rich mines
of gold and silver, in iron, copper, lead
marble, porphyry, jasper, jet, salt, coal,
sulpher. lime, gypsum, and other mineral
products On the coast, especially on the
coasts of the Isthmus of Panama and of the
bay of Rio Hacha are found pearls and
coral. Notwithstanding the abundance
of these natural riches, however, the de-
velopment of the material resources of the
country has been hitherto almost completely
neglected, and it may be affirmed that,
with the exception of Ecuador and Bolivia,
Colombia of ali the political divisions of
Spanish America, supplies the smallest
contingent to the traffic of the world.
Various causes have contributed to pro-
duce so deplorable state of backwardness:
continual political dissensions, and the
revolutions that have been their result,
without either party having found it pos
sible thus far to solve satisfactorily the
problem of combining order and liberty
and thus bestowing on the country the
blessing of prosperous and lasting peace;
the misdirected system of education adopt
ed by the state, which tends to over-stimu-
late the imaginative faculties of the race,
and to maintain the system of bureaucracy,
which Is one of the greatest scourges of
those countries; the little attention given
to scientific agriculture and to engineer
ing in its diverse applications; and finally,
the diversified character of the surface of
the country, crossed as it is by three of the
chief ranges of the Andes, presenting I'M
usual difficulties to transportation. This
state of things must continue until for
eign capital shall facilitate communica-
ton by constructing numerous lines of
railway, Ricardo Becerra.
