CONGRESSIONAL.

The Senate yesterday by vote of35
to IL passed the free homestead bill,
which has been under discussion sin ce
the holiday recess. 1t is measure of
far reaching Importance, particularly to
the west, and plank concerning it was
a feature of the several national plat
forms. The effect of the bill is to open
to settlement all public lands acquired
from Indians, free of any payment to
the government beyond the minor
Office fees, and to release from pay
ment those who have heretofore settled
on these lands. The number of acres
involved is 33, 252,541.
The House spent almost the entire
day debating the Circuit bill, to subject
oleommarine and other imitation
dairy products to the laws ofthe States
into which they are transported. The
advocates of the measure took the
view that the States should be allowed
to regulate the sale of product
sailing under false colors, and the
opponents the view that the bill
would establish dangerous pre-
cedent and invade the power of
Congress to regulate interstate COM
merce. The bill was finally passed.
