RAILROAD LAND GRANT FORFEITURE BILL
On motion OF Mr.. Plumb the conference re-
port on the railroad land forfeiture bill was
taken up.
The main proposition in the report is con-
tanned In the first section, as follows:
That there Is hereby forfeited to the United
States, and the United States hereby resumes
the title thereto, all lands heretofore granted
W any state or TO any corporation
to aid in the construction Of a railroad oppo-
site to and coterminous with the portion of any
such railroad not now completed, and in ope-
ration. for the construction or benefit of which
such lands were granted; and all such lands are
declared to be a part OF the public domain
Provided, that this act shall not be construed
as forfeiting the right Of way or station
Grounds OF any railroad company heretofore
granted"
MR. MORGAN OPPOSED THE nEponr
a. q iog-rollng scheme gotten up for the bene-
1t of all the land-grant roads, He said that
while the first section professed to be for
TEXTURE all the other sections related to sepa-
rate railroads and exempted them from the
operation OF the forfeiture section or
else secured to them certain pecuniary
advantages. 1t could scarcely be said that
there was any land forfeited by the bill to the
government in consequence of the failure of
the railroads to comply with the terms of the
original grants. The most that could be said
Of 1t was that few small railroads that had
not got friends enough in the two houses to
stand up for thcm and hold up their hands we're
to be crucifed for tho sake of CLOSING over
:nd vanishing the false pretence OF general
forfeiture.

House adjourned promptly.
THE PURPOSE OF THE REPUBLICANS
In adopting this course is to impress upon the
absentees the importance OF their immediate
return. The Speaker sees the necessity Of
having quorum Of republicans to act upon
the tariff nil. and every effort il to be made to
bring republican absentees back.
The House may adjourn from day to day

emphasize their delinquence. see fit to return
and make quorum to do business.
THE OPPOSITION TO Mn. bANosroH,
coming through Malone, is working to induce
the republicans to abandon the ca ,e. but the
leaders are not going to do this ami put them.
selves In the attitude of defeat.
II is expected that by Monday the republicans
will have quorum, and that nnsil then moth
Ing will be done. They will then seat Mr..
Langston and proceed to dispose Of the tariff
bill.
