at Small Sum. 49,

Washington, Aug. 25.-A remarkable
bill, intended to enable the Milwaukee
railroad to grab off enormously valu-
able. coal lands in Montana, has been
reported out of the Senate public lands
committee by Senator Meyers, its
chairman. The bill will permit sale at
q low figure of 2,089 acres of coal land
to the Republic Coal company, a sub
sidiary of the Milwaukee road. The
land contains 100000 900 tons of high
grade bituminous coal. As Meyers in
troduced the bill 1t would have been
sold at l l-5 cents O ton. The language
has been modified to have the secre-
tary of the interior fix the price. Mey-
ers was but recently made chairman
OF h public lands committee, and has
FASTENED to get the bill out. Much sur
prised is caused that Secretary Lane
should have supported 1t. 1t promises
