No end OF litigation will arise. it is
thought, out of the discovery of the attor-
ney of the Northern Pacific road that the
omnibus bill prohibited the filing of pre-
er.ption claims. The land offices report
that they are receiving presumption filings
every day, aud that they have no authority
to not receive them. Tho clause in tho
omnibus bill is plain and the acceptance of
these filings will cause a cloud to be placed
upon the title of the land when given.
The attention of the general land office
should be called upon and q ruling upon
the point raised should be made.
