PUBLIC LANDS.
The committee on public lands re-
ported that it had considered in con-
nection with the house committee the
bills of both bodies on this important
topic, and by combining the two, had
formulated measure which it was
believed would be acceptable to all.
The bill was in the form of a house
measure and had been sent there.
In the regular order the measure was
about to be read when Mr.. Chidester
suggested that as the same was in the
hands of the house the consideration
of the same be permitted to go over
until Thursday Evans was about TO
object to the postponement when Glen
Miller objected to the entire matter
and raised a point of order that a
house bill could not be considered IN
til the house itself sent it there.
Final action resulted in the report
and bill being referred back to the
committee. where it will remain until

will call up the same, make a senate
