NEWELL MARTIN, Secretary.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-08-19

gracefully and criminally this case has
been handled. Party prejudice, malice
and a purpose to accomplish improper
things seem to have deadened every SEN
sibility in the gentlemen from whom
the house and country had right to
expect better things. Some base and
ingenious mind seems to have guided
them. and it is far short of the truth to
say that this investigation has been a
miserable farce, and the majority report
is unfounded in truth, not justified by
evidence, and is defaced by the repeti-
ton of partisan ISLANDERS not sustained
by any testimony"
In conclusion, the report says:
"When those entrusted with official
power so forget right, and justice and
duty as to act as the majority, of the
committee has done, it brings distrust
and odium upon their party and upon
the house, and their actions and conclu-
sions should be rejected and rebuked.
Never has a great question been SO
wretchedly, feebly, unjustly, and 80
scandalously treated and adjudicated.
But passion under injury and wrong is
not the proper mode of redress, and if
the house puts the seal of it's approval
upon the report and recommendations
of the committee, then we appeal to the
people to rebuke and right it by their
yOtes''

MINERAL LANDS.
A Bill to Prevent their Being Grabbed
by the Northern Pacific.

WASHINGTON, August IS Representa-
tive Carter, of Montana, to-day reported
to the house from the committee on
mines and mining, bill to provide for
the examination and classification of
certain mineral lands, etc. Itauthorizes
the secretary of the interior to speedily
cause all lands in Montana and Idaho,
within the land grant and indemnity
land grant limits of the Northern Pacific
Railroad company, to be examined and
classified by competent persons, with
special reference to their mineral or
non-mineral character, and to reject,
cancel and disallow any and all claims
or filings heretofore made, or which
may hereafter be made, by or on behalf
of the railroad company, on land in
those states, classified as mineral land
The word mineral shall not be held to
include iron or coal. The bill also pro-
vides for appeals from the findings of
the examiners, and for such publicity
of the classification returns as will give
notice to all persons of the conclusions
reached with regard to each tract of
land. The committee thinks with this
publicity, and with the right to appeal,
it cannot be maintained that the pro-
perty interests may be disposed of under
the bill without due process of law. The
sum OF $4,000 is appropriated to carry
out the provisions of the bill

Associated Press Dispatches.


WASHINGTON, August 18.-In the SEN
, ate, today, Edmunds offered the follow
ing amendment to the tariff bill Gre
ferred to the committee on finance y
That whenever the president of the
United States shall be satisfied that a
sugar producing country, where sugar is
exported into the United States, has
abolished its du ties or taxes on the i'm
portation of the principal agricultural
products of the United States, he may
by proclamation diminish or wholly
remit the duties imposed by law on
sugar or any grade of sugar produced in
and exported directly from any such
country into the United States, so long
as such products of the United States are
admitted free of duty or tax into such
country and no longer.
Edmunds also gave notice of another
amendment which he intended to propose
authorizing the president whenever sat-
isfed that unjust discrimination is made
by any foreign country against any pro-
duct Of the United States, to make a
proclamation excluding the products OF
that country.
Quay gave formal notice of intention
to ask the Senate to adopt the order
proposed by him Saturday, to commence
voting on the taft bill on the 30th Of
August, and postpone illnext session all
other legislative business, except bills
therein specified. The senate then pro-
ceeded to consideration of the deficiency
bill.
The committee inserted an item,
which was agreed to by the senate,
appropriating $12, 900 for steam vessel
on Puget Sound to prevent the violation
of the Chinese restriction act and of the
custom laws. The amendments appro-
priating the aggregate of 81 1886 for
the payment OF the French spoilation
claims, were opposed by Plumb, who
denounced the claims as essentially
fraudulent, and as intended not for the
benefit of the claimants, but that of
their attorneys and assignees. The
amendments were defended and advo-
Gated by Hale, Blair and Morgan, and
agreed to.
The bill was reported back to the
senate, and all the amendments that
were agreed to by the committee of the
whole, were agreed to in bulk, the only
one reserved for a special vote, being
that inserting the item of $4,000 to
complete the investigation by the de-
partment of agriculture as to underfow
and artesian waters, and their adapt
ability for irrigation. The amendment
was discussed for nearly two hours, and
was eventually agreed to. The bill was
then passed.
Plumb offered resolution, instructing
the committee on rules to make such or
ders as will wholly prevent the sale Of
spirituous, vinous or malt liquors in the
senate wing of the capital.
Blair suggested the insertion of the
words and drinking"
Plumb have no objections.
The resolution went over till tomorrow.
The tariff bill was then taken up.
Without coming to a vote on Plumb's
amendment reducing the duty on tin
plate, the senate adjourned.
