During the consideration of the legis-
latlve appropriation bill to-day, Mr.
Carter Of Montana, presented an
amendment calling for an increase of
twenty.scvcn clerks in the general land
office. The debate that followed showed
up the fact that the business OF the do
partment is from eighteen months to
three years behind, and that there are
almost 10000 cases there awaiting adj.
jnstment. Mr. Carter had statements
to show that there are over 1000 cases
In three contested divisions alone that
arc three years behind time. 1t was safe
to say that 10000 people woro directly
Interested in these cases. The settlers
had to pay their money in advance. and
they wero being defrauded of their
rights. In Montana there were valuable
mineral claims tied up for years for lack
OF attention in the general land office.
Messrs. Peters, of Kansas, aud Pick
Ter, of south Dakota, made emphatic
speeches in support of Mr. Carter, hold
ing that it was cold fraud ON these set
tiers to hold their titles to their lands
from them.
Mr.. Cannon, Of illinois, and Dockery.
of Missouri, opposed Mr.. Carter's
amendment, and 1t was lost.

The far Western senators and repre-
scntatives all wanted more advanced
silver legislation, but are generally sat
isiied.
The following are tho opinions ex-
pressed:
Senator Sanders, of Montana-lt bull
ionizes the entire silver product |
have not committed myself on the mat
ter yet.
Senator Power, OF Montana--It doesn't
go far enough. We want the silver cor
titlcates made legal tender. don't like
the bullion clause.
Representative Carter, OF Mont nna--It
will bring silver to n par within six
months from the time the law goes into
effect.
Senator Allen-.l am not afraid OF un.
limited silver coinage. The present bill
is an advantage toward that end.
Senator squire-Tho bill is probably
the best that could be agreed upon. If
the men who have given the matter
such profound study are satisfied with
tho bill, | am sure it can not be far from
right.
