BONA-FIDE PURCHASERS.
Congressman Aliens Bill Protects
Them In Their Rights.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The House
Committee on Public Lands today re.
considered its action of last week in
adopting bill to carry out the recon
mendations of President Cleveland's
message that the limitation of five wears
for bringing suits to annul titles to pat
ents established by the act of March,
1861, be repealed. Another bill embody.
ing the views of different members OF
the committee and intended to furnish
tull protection to purchasers in good
faith, drawn by Mr.. Allen of Utah, was
substituted for the first bill. Chairman
Lacey will report it to the House. AS
this legislation may affect the title to Co..
100000 of acres, it has been difficult for
the committee to draw a satisfactory
bill.
The new bill provides that suits to be
brought by the United States to annul
patents to lands enormously issued un-
der a special grant shall only be brought
within five years from the passage of the
act, and suits to annul patents hereafter
issued must be brought within ten wears
after their date. The bill expressly con
firms the titles of bona.fide purchasers
and provides that If any party claiming
to be bona fide purchaser presents his
claim to the Secretary of the Interior be-
fore the institution of suit to cancel a
patent, and his claim is found to be
valid, the Secretary shall request that
suit be brought against the original pat
entee for sum not less than the mini
mum government prices for the lands
and not more than the amount paid by
the purchasers. Another section makes
the courts having jurisdiction over suits
under the act the final authority on the
bonat ide purchasers, and provides that
claimants who have not submitted their
claims to the Secretary of the Interior
may intervene in suits begun, and have
their claims adjudicated by becoming
parties in that way to the litigation The
bill also provides that no suit shall be
brought to annul patents, when parties
have presented claims to be bona fide
purchasers, until the Secretary has pass
ed upon their claims

Allotment to uncompahgres.

Washington. Feb. 1.-Secretary Smith
has sent to the House certain papers
from the commission to allot lands 10
the Uncompahgre Indians in Utah. 1t
seems from these papers. says the Sec

its of the Uncompahgre reservation suf-
ficlent agricultural or grazing lands to
provide those Indians allotments. and
that even with the lands there the In
dams will not agree to take allotments
with the condition attached that they
should pay slips per acre therefor.
The Secretary thinks further negotia-
tions should be had with the Uncom-
pahgrans upon lines indicated by the

Cree Indian History-Allen's Maid
en- Speech for Silver.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Secretary of the
Interior Hoke Smith has acknowledged
receipt of the House resolution intro
duced by Delegate Cannon, calling for
a detailed statement of proceedings and
expenditures made in carrying out the
Uintah and Uncompahgre clause of the
Indian appropriation bill. and as to the
probable time when the lands within the
Uncompahgre reservation can be re-
stored to the public domain. In re-
Spouse Secretary Smith transmits in
closures from the commissioner of In.
dian affairs, to whom the matter was re-
ferred. Secretary Smith says that it
seems from these papers that there is
not within the limits of the Uneompah-
gre reservation sufficient agricultural or
grazing lands to provide these Indians
with allotments, and that even IL the
lands were there, the Indians will not
agree to take allotments with the condi-
ton attached that they should pay $I2s
per acre therefor. These reports" con
tinues Secretary Smith, "contain full
statement of all the facts in this matter,
and contain some strong arguments in
favor of relieving the Indians of the
payment of $I.2s per acre for land taken
by them as allotmentsn
Commissioner Browning, after giving
the expenses of the commission to date,
including $I,S63 taken from the present
quarter, as SI4,44o4S, states that he has
not deemed it advisable under previous
recommendation to express any opinion
as to the probable time when the lands
can be restored to the public domain.

Down Trodden Silver.
Washington, Feb. 6.-Congressman
c. E. Allen of Utah made his maiden
speech upon upon the floor of the House
tonight. The House met according to
the rule for night session in order to
allow those members who desired 10
speak upon the bond bill to do so. Mr..
Aliens remarks were confined under tn
minute rule. Not many membels
appeared upon the floor, but such as
were there listened to the remarks of
the Utah representative Mr. Allen
spoke Of the inability of the United
States to keep up the price of the pro.
ducts of its people and maintain mon
ometalic gold standard so long as we
are debtor to the nations of the world
He attempted to show that we have
about $75o,ooo,ooo yet to pay abroad in
excess of our imports over our exports.
That, he said, can be paid in only three
ways, either with the gold which " e
have accumulated and produced from
year to year, or with other products, by
sending our securities abroad to paw the
balance. We cannot produce gold
enough to pay this balance, said Mr..
Allen, and If we would pay it with our
exports we would have to force the
prices down until we could obtain a
market abroad; but to do this we must
compete with silver using nations and
would have to force down the prices
under which they could sell

But when she spoke her meaning broke
Full sweetly on my ear.
Then, too, she seemed to understand
Whatever I'd to say,
Though most knew was "oony poo"
sBong zhoor" and "see VOC play"
The female wit is always quick,
And Of all womankind
IT'S here in France that you perchance
The keenest wits shall find,
And here you'll find that subtle gift,
That rare, distinctive touch,
Combined with grace Of form and face
That glads men overmuch.

''Lack either that or this.
They don't combine the arts divine
As does the Gallo miss.

Our bellies across tho sea,
And yet I'll swear none can compare
With this ideal she."
And then praised her dainty foot
In very awful French
And parleywood in guileful mood
Until the saucy wench
Tossed back her naughty auburn head
And froze me with disdain.
