The Free Homestead Bill Has Passed
the Senate.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The senate
today passed the measure known as
the free-homestead bill, which has been
under discussion since the holiday re-
cess. 1t is a measure of far-reaching
Importance, particularly to the West
ern states, and the interest in it was
shown by the fact that plank concern
ing it was feature of the several ma
tional platforms. The effect of the
bill is TO open to settlement all the
public lands acquired from Indians,
free of payment to the government, be-
yond the minor Office fees, and to re-
lease from payment those who have
heretofore settled on those lands. The
number Of acres involved, according to
an estimate made by the commissioner
of the general land office, is 33, ,207, ,54l,
which would have yielded the govern
ment, at the prices heretofore estab-
lished, $35, ,343, ,006. To offset this
statement it was brought out during
the debate that the lands were mainly
arid and that those who had settled
upon them were unable to make pay
ment by reason Of the scanty products
Of the soil. The Western senators in
the main favored the bill as an extern
sion Of the general homestead policy Of
the government. The opposition was
directed mainly by Platt Of Connecticut
and Villas. As the bill passed in the
house it covered only lands acquired
from Indians in Oklahoma but as
passed today the bill includes all In
dian lands. The final vote taken by
agreement at 4 P. NJ, showed decisive
majority in favor Of the measure.
Following the disposition Of this bill,
which had held the advantageous posi-
ton Of the unfinished business of the
senate, Morgan sought to have the Mica
rauga canal bill made the unfinished
business. This precipitated vote
which to some extent was test Of
strength of the bill itself. On Nor
gan's motion to take up the bill, the
vote was 33 to 8, or less than quorum,
so the motion did not prevail, although
it disclosed the strength of the measure.
During the day Morgan secured the
adoption Of resolution for an inquiry
by the Judiciary committee as to
whether the properties Of the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific companies
now belong to the United States, by
reason Of alleged defaults in payment
of bonds.
A resolution by Cullom, calling on
the civil service commission to explain
the delay in making annual reports,
was adopted.

Honolulu, Jan. 6.-United States
Minister Albert S. Willis died at $3.50

ing several months.
In April last the minister and his
family left Hawaii for visit to their
old home at Louisville. While in San
Francisco on the return trip, the min
lister contracted a severe cold, which
settled upon his lungs. This was the
immediate cause Of his death. AT
noon of October 81, while leaving
church, his horse ran away and threw
Mr.. Willis to the ground. He was
taken to physicians Office and he
soon recovered sufficiently to return to
his home at Waikiki. He never left it
again. The fever increased and the
cold taken in San Francisco developed
into pneumonia, This settled so firm
ly on the lungs that it could not be
checked. All human effort was ex-
pended without avail. Three physi-
clans labored necessarily, and held fire.
quent conferences on the case. A few
days before Christmas, the case was
pronounced hopeless.
Soon after the death of the minister
this morning, all the consular, govern
ment and shipping flags were lowered
to half-mast. Expressions of regret
were general, and his wife and son
have the sympathy of the whole COM
munity,

spaniards Lost Sixteen Hundred in
Killed. Wounded and Prisoners
Cuban Loss Is Reported Larger.

New York, JAN 1S.-The Press this
morning claims to have received news,
through private channels, that General
Maximo Gomez stormed and captured
the important city Of Santa Clara, on
January 9, and is now moving on Ha-
vana with $4,000 men. The famous
cavlary leader, Quintin Bandera, was
mortally wounded, the Press says, and
General Luque, commanding the Span
ish troops, was also wounded.
The news received last night said
the losses are: Spanish, estimated
killed and wounded, 300; prisoners,
700; cannon captured, Is; battle stand
ards, 4; rifles in the Spanish arsenal,
5000, with plenty Of ammunition.
Cubans killed and wounded, 1900,
which is 900 more than the Spanish
loss. The Press quotes Carlos Roloff
as saying the report is credible. The
iunta has no news.

New York, Jan. 1S.--A Havana dis.

who have slipped through the Spanish
lines in Matanzas province bring news
that General Gomez is undoubtedly
marching on Havana slowly but surely,
and that his advance guard is laying in
waste the country as it proceeds. The
people of Havana are at last becoming
alarmed at the situation, and all who
possibly can have already left the
place.

that city treasurers shall hereafter be
appointed by the city council, and not

trouble in Pendleton over making the

qualifications Of school election voters
requires that the voter shall have paid
an annual tax on $3.50 worth Of prop
erty The present law is somewhat
lax, and more or less confusing. There
is some doubt Of the constitutionality
OF McClung's bill, but the judiciary
committee will pass upon that ques-
ton. Senator McClung says the trou-
bles at the late school election in Port

more desirable law.

The question Of supplying each mem
Der Of senate and house with copy Of
Hills Code Of Oregon, evoked some de-
bate in the senate. McClung presented
joint resolution that the secretary Of
state be ordered to purchase ninety
copies Of the code. He afterward ex-
planned that similar resolution had

much as it was only senate resolu-
tion, the secretary Of state was unwiIl-
ing to comply except on joint request
Of both houses. Selling of Multnomah
thought that from an economical stand
point, twenty-five copies would be
sufficient, ten for the senate and fifteen
for the house Price Of Umatilla sug-
gested that fifteen copies would be
sufficient for the senate, giving one to
each new member. McClung's resolu-
tion was finally adodted.
Another subject Of debate was the
resolution requiring the appropriation
bill to be prepared sufficient time be-
fore the close OF the session to permit a
careful examination. One member
wanted the bill prepared within the
first twenty-five days. This was gem
orally regarded as too soon to be prac-
ticable, and it was finally settled that
the bill should be before the senate
five days before the close of the session.

Senator Mulkey, Of Polk, has intro
duced into the senate bill covering
the subject Of taxation. The bill, in
effect, is practically re-enactment of
the mortgage-tax law. 1t has three
general objects in view--tD the assess
ment Of all property, (2) equal and i'm
partial collection Of taxes, (3) economy
in operation. Senator Mulkey says it
will save the state at least $56, 900 per
year. The bill provides for the deduc-
tion of Indebtedness where the corre-
spending credit can be found and as
sessed II abolishes the state board of
equalization as it is now constituted,
vesting that duty in the governor, sec
retary Of state and state treasurer. 1t
also provides for the collection of taxes
on the original assessors roll and for
the sending of the summary only of the
roll to the state board Of equalization.
1t makes the county treasurer the col
lector Of taxes up to the point of delin-
Quency, when they shall be collected by
the sheriff.
