NOT LOSE THE GRANTS
That Is II a senate COMMITTEES has
It's way.

Washington, Dec. 90 The senate
committee on public lands to-day de-
cided to report adversely the house
bill providing for the forfeiture Of the
grants where the roads were not COM
pleted in the time specified in the
bills making them, though built at
later period.
1t is understood that there was a
sharp contest, and that the first vote
in the committee was a ties to o.
and that afterward one of those yot-
ing in the affirmative changed it to
the negative SO as to permit the bill
to be reported. Senator Berry led the
fight for the bill, contending that as
railroads had not complied with the
conditions upon which the grant was
made, they should surrender the lands.
If the bill should become a law it
would result in restoring about 81
OOO, 900 acres of land to the public do
main, 3G,OOO,OOO acres of which lie
along the line of the Northern Pacific
west of Bismarck. N. D.
The vote on reporting the bill stood
as follows: Ayes, Berry, Pascoe,
Martin, McLaurin, Allen; noes, Villas,
Dolph, Pettigrew, Carey, Dubois; not
voting, Power. Senator Allen after
ward changed his vote so as to permit
the. bill to be reported adversely. as
that appeared to be the only way Of
getting it reported at all. Senator
Power declined to vote either way.
He said after the adjournment of the
committee that he was opposed to the
bill, but he took exception to the an
tagonism of his mineral land bill by
some of the Western Senators who
were opposed to the land forfeiture
bill. and took his position to-day on
that account.
Mr.. Dolph, in reporting adversely
the bill in the senate, expressed the
belief that congress had not the power
to forfeit these lands, but that the
right to them WIS vested in the rail
roads. Even if congress had the pow
er to forfeit them, it would be un-
just and inequitableS to the railroad
companies. .3E"I
Mr.. Berry Oem., Ark.) declared thai
the senate ought to pass the bill, and
said that the railroads were not an
titled to one foot of the land.

after the tableaux are over, lending
a brilliant and fancy appearance to
the rooms full of guests in the social
time that follows.
The Genius of Dreams is dressed
to suggest night, and the part should

medium height, with dark hair and

of pasteboard covered with the best

are placed here and there under the
carleton folds of dress and bodice to
shine through. The waist is best made
with surplice front, the neck opening

The Old and New Years will make an

Washington, Dec. 90 The discus

gan in the house, but the opening Of
the debate was a disappointment. It
lacked both spirit and interest. and
was devoid of sensational features.
Mr. Springer, the chairman of the
banking and currency committee, who
made the first speech in support of tie
measure, gave a plain statement Of it's
objects and gave review of the argu-
ments in it's favor on the lines Of
those contained in the report Mr..
Walker the leader of the minority of
the committee, devoted almost all Of
his time to an elaboration Of his own
bill AS usual he was incitive, was
| emphatic and aggressive, and the
house. gave him close attention. Mr.
Hail.. a Democratic member of the
committee from Missouri, closed the
debate for the day. An effort to agree
upon the limitations of the debate
failed to-day, and it will probably be
allowed to run on for the remainder
OF the week without "a vote. After
the holidays the committee on rules
WILL, unless the measure loses caste:
in the meantime, bring in a rule to

While most of our citizens were ut
dinner, Tuesday, the wild alarm OF
fire was heard, and the interior of
Kramer's Merchant tailor store was
found to be a mass of flame.
1t was one story building between
the opera house and Golden's clothing
store. and. being covered with an iron
roof. the fire could not escape until it
had nearly consumed the interior and
burst through the sides, into Golden's
store and the u. s. Land Office above.
Meningitis market, on the east, and
the opera house, west, were both con-
suined, but heroic work saved the rest
of the block, the loss of which at one
time seemed inevitable.
Everything was removed from Alex
ander's office and residence. the Ex-
change bank, Mrs. Smiths Millinery
store and residence. W. r. G.. hall,
Smiths Jewelry store, Harry Evans
drug store, Chris Hanson's saloon. and
the Livery barn in the rear. And, on
the other street, from the dwelling of
Miss Culver, Masters, Braden and Tay-
Tor.
1t is thought that with proper or.
ganization, sufficient hose and the
hydrants in good order. all could have
been saved except the small store where
the fire originated. The losses are
estimated as follows:
Taylor g. Hempsteads Opera House,
50. 500; no insurance.
Mrs w. A. Masters 2 stores, So, 900 /;
no insurance.
Z. NJ. Roffee's market building, $500 T;
no insurance.
Kramer's stock, 81, 600; insured $500.
Golden's loss by removal and water,
probably $500; no insurance.
Mcknight. from same cause, 800.
The loss of U. s. Land Office cannot
be estimated. 1t contained the records
of all the land offices of the lower Pc
ninsula of Michigan for nearly hun
dred years, and all that was saved was
records of the office since the con-
solidation of the Offices here.
1t is the most destructive fire which
has ever visited the place an which we
hope may not be repeated.
