In Congress.

Senator Warren, of Wyoming, has in
troduced two bills providing for the
cession of arid lands to the States in
which they are located.
The House seems disposed to give the
Navy department anything it desires.
At least this much may be reasonably
coniectured from the statments of prom
inent memebers.
The Senate has passed bill giving
railroads rights of way in Alaska and
opening the lands to homestead entry.
An amendment reserving to the govern
ment the right to purchase the line was
defeated. None but Populists voted
for it.
Congressman Broderick voted against
the Loud bill and explained his vote by
stating that he had had letters in large
numbers from Kansas editors protesting
against the bill, and that as they ought
to know what they want he would defer
to their wishes in the matter.
Congressman Botkin has a scheme to
colonize colored men on government
lands under the homestead laws, al
lowing each forty acres and limiting
each family to 100 acres. He would have
no land Office fees in connection with
these settlements and would prohibit
mortgages and leases.
The Kansas City World prints story
to the effect that Senator Harris made
his big fight against the attempted steal
in the Union Pacific affair because he
was once refused pass by it's officers.
AS matter of fact Senator Harris has
been active In his efforts to secure fair
deal for the government fOF many years.
He made great record in that line
