Dounced the completion OF the executive

This committee is undoubtedly a strong
one, some of the names Indicating unusual
aggressyeness ON thoroughly Democratic
lines. Each of the gentlemen named on
this committee gave loyal support to the
candidates and platform OF the party in
the last Presidential campaign, therefore
it is to be presumed that they can be

LAND GRANTS.
Secretary Francis Makes a Statement
About Union Pacific Kansas Lands.
SENATOR SHERMAN ACCEPTS
The Ohio Statesman, After an Interview
with Maj. Mckinley at Canton, Ad-
mits That He Is to lie tho NEXT
Secretary of State.

| WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. - Secretary
Francis to-day sent TO the house in re-
ply to a resolution communication
relating to the homestead entries on
certain Union Pacific land grants in
Kansas. Replying to that portion of
the resolution asking 1.-THE authority
under which the land officers at To-
peka pretended to act in permitting
entries TO be made upon lands embraced
within the grant" he says the
land officers had no authority to
permit these entries and that the Off
GERS were called to account and direct
ed to allow no entries on these lands.
In reply TO that part of the resolution
asking for the cause of the omission to
issue patents to lands within the linn
its of the Union Pacific railway the
secretary says he has taken the posi-
tion that as the railway company
is in default to the government
on the payment of indebtedness, it is
his duty to withhold from patent what
ever portion of lands there were in the
hands of the government at the time
of the default The object of the
ruling Is not to interfere with
the rights of settlers, he says, but
to protect the interests of the govern
ment. Lands sold by the railroad com
panies to bona fide purchasers are pat
ented to them, and in the last two
years lands aggregating 2,009,073 acres
in Kansas, Colorado, Utah and Wyo-
ming have been patented.

The Agricultural Appropriation Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE house
committee on agriculture yesterday
submitted the agricultural appropria.
tion bill to the house. The total
amount carried by the bill is S3,512, 422,
a net decrease of S102,7S0 An appro-
priation of S150,O00 for seeds was in
cluded, against the wishes of the secre-
tary of agriculture The system of
meat inspection says the report, should
be extended, and the increase of S25, 900
provided in the bill for the bureau of
animal industry cannot be reduced
without crippling the inspection. The
reductions in appropriations is made
under the head of miscellaneous, includ-
ing the weather bureau. The amount ap-
propriated for the weather bureau is
exactly what was finally estimated for,
and is $3.50, 900 less than for the current
wear.
