to Tun Uuc.J A hurried mooting of the
general managers of the Iowa lines was
called for this afternoon to take action on an
.unexpected demand by the lown railroad
"commissioners for the further lowering of
the Iowa distance tariff.
The Iowa lines claim that much of the
trafllc la that stale is now non-paying , owing
to tbo low tariff * dictated by the com
missioners.
It will bo remembered that at the recant
conference between the Iowa commissioners
and the railroad men tbo commissioners
agreed not to lower the rates without duo
notice to tbo railroads. It was In pursuance
of this agreement that the notice
wns sent and was the cause of today's moot

Owing to the absence of the Iowa Central
nothing could bn done and the meeting ad

It begins to look as though there was more
than ono bad disposition entertained by the
democrats in the house nnd that they are
not only determined to rule or ruin , but to
persecute those who do not follow their
leads. 1 ho bourbons were greatly incensed
at the contestant lu the Fuatbcrstono vs
Cale contested election case from Arkansas ,
which wns determined this week In favor of
the former. Both the contestant nnd the
conlcstco uro democrats , but the contestant
Is an independent democrat , having refused
to co-operate with the blood-thirsty element
of tbo bourbon party which lead in
the assassination of General Clayton ,
who was the contestant of Clifton
III Urocitinrldgo's scat. After Mr. Foath-
orstono was sworn In the other day some of
the irate democrats began to sneer at him
and to show a disposition to persecute him nt
every opportunity. The surroundings bo-
cnmo so unpleasant for Mr. Fcathorstono
tb'at he has refused to sit on the democratic
aide of the house where there uro located
the only vacant scuts to be found in the hull
of the house of representatives , and ho has
during tbo past day or so stood round on the
republican aldo or occupied lounges or 'scats
temporarily vacant by the absence of repub
licans. 'Ibis is the only instauce of the kind
ou record. It would not have boon be
hoved by anyone a week ace tnat
such conduct waa passible among oven tno
most hostile democrats. It is likely , however -
over , that tbo stinging speeches of some of
the republicans wrought up the bourbons to
the pitch in which they find themselves now
and which is venting its spleen upon Mr.
Fcathcrstono. Two or three ot the republi
cans have offered to trade scats with Mr.
Fcathcrstono , among them nro Air. Kelley
of Kansas , nnd it is likely he will bo given a
seat on the republican sldo by u trade.

INIlBMNITr IIIOHTS.
In thu senate committee- publio lands
today Senator Paddock urged for prompt
conaidcrnlion-tbe bill 'to-provide forlnduiu- "
nity right In the case of scnool land sections
where , such lands having been taken by pro *
emption or homestead , Bottlers have been
discovered to bo on mineral lands or in
cluded within an Indian , military or other
reservation. Senator Paddoclc offered an
amendment to the bill , giving to tbo states
the option of relocation within reservation
limits in cnscs where tbo school sections for
which Indemnity should bo asked lie within
Indian or military reservations which maybe
bo thrown open subsequent to tbe passage of
the net. Nebraska is very lurgoly interested
In this questiou and the committee is ex-
peeled to report thu bill ot its next mnotiug.
The senator also called up and secured u
favorable report upon tbo bill to compel ihu
commissioner of the general land oftico to
account to the states lor 5 per .cent of the
public land sales commoulv culled the "five
per centum net " Until the administration
of Secretary of the Interior Lamar these
sums were annually computed in the general
land office and credited to the states without
further action by concross , but under ono
of Mr. Lnmar's and Commissioner Sparks'
ruling the amount was arbltrarly withhold.
During the last congress Senator Paddock
secured an appropriation of ? J3BOO , for
Nebraska , the amount being 5 per cent of
the sales of public lands since the last ,
accounting. The present bill will obviate
the necessity of any such special legislation
In the future and will compel the interior
department to pay Its debts to tbo states
without forcing them to appear as olaimanls
before both houses of congress.
I'APPOCK ANNOrED ,
Senator Paddock is somewhat annoyed at
the publication in various nowapapere of the
report that ho bas drafted and introduced u
bill for tbe summary ropual of the fourth or
fifth sections of the Interstate commerce
act. These twu sections are the long and
short haul nud the anti-pooling section. The
bill which the senator introduced was intro
duced by request , nnd ut the time of Intro
duction Scnutor Paddock stated tills fact ,
nnd that the presentation of the bill by hini-
aolf in no way committed him either to tbo
principle or the advocacy of the measure.
Senator Paddock thinks that tbo amend
ment winch ho offered aomo days ago au
tborlzlng tlio Interstate commerce commis
sion to compel a reduction of rates on
commodities passing wnst nnd east will meet
the cuse. The amendment bo introduced
does not , ns bus been erroneously stated in
sumo of the western papers , simply permit
railroad companies to make the reduction
under certain circumstances , but empowers
the commission to enforce n reduction under
the same penalties provided for the violation
of tile act.
TUB 1IOYINO I'ONOtS.
Indian Commissioner Morgan has made a
decision upon tlio proposition submitted to
him some tlmo ago by theNebrasku delegation
to permit thu Ponca Indians to return to the
Indian territory , or that portion of them
which recently ro-ontored Nebraska from

that these Indiana have shown n migratory
disposition during tno past few years whicli
should not bo toloraled nnd the permit to
leave the reservation for any purpose what
ever Is denied.
A LIVEIiV DEIUTR. ,
There wns n lively debute in the senate
today over tlio Salt Lake publio building bill.
Senator Plumb moved to cut down the ap
propriation from 500,000 to $400,000 , and
wus ut once antagonized by Senator Pad
dock , Senator Puddock said that speaking
from an Intimate knowledge of the situation
that a more reasonable appropriation bad not
boon uiked for ut this session , nud that the
amount ought to bo $700,000 rather than
$500,000. Suit Lake , no suld , Is a lender
among western cities , uud within five years
will have 10(1,000 ( people. In reply to Sen
ator Plumb's answer that the site ought
not cost over ? i\000 , the senator said that
such a sue ns is required cannot bo secured
for lens than 1100,000 , and ho feared It might
cost $150,000 to gut tha area required , to get
It centrally located for executive offices , for
the courts , for tbo postofllco , for the laud
office for the Utah commission , for tbo in
ternal revenue and other government ofllcos.
Senator Plumb retorted that after a few
mere such speeches us that ho was not pre
pared to aqy that it would not take $500,000
to buy a site. Last summer It could have
boeu got for $25.000 or MO,000 , out , of course ,
after such an udvertUcmrnt as the senator
hnd given to Salt Lake City ho could
net tell what the effect would bo. Ho con
tended Ihut Helena , which had just been
glvau 1400,000 , was a larger and bettor place
In every respect than 8Mt' inko and with a
better future before lU
Scnntor Paddock -1 donot wish to dis
parage Helena , but whon'f my friend nays
Helena tins n population at largo as Salt
Lake ho Is certainly iin'ffccjiiUfttntod with the
situation. Salt Lnkerrf bopulntlon is today
nt least double that or Holotm and It Helena
shall como In the future to bo as great n city
ns Salt Lake , with thd vjohdltions favorable
to the building up of a great city that exist
nt tlio latter place in an .prcoptlonnolo degree -
greo , It will do very well lifdiSod , vastly bet
tor than its most satiKUino'.frlcnda expect.
Scnntor Plumb replied , that the Senator
magnified the populatldirot Salt Lake City ,
and Hint only ' . ' ,700 or SjSOO votes were cast
In tbo late election , at which the entire vote
was brought out. ' „
Senator Paddock l ! 8Uoposo It Is well
known to the senator tlTnt a very largo num
ber of these who uudoriordinaay olrcntn-
stances form n part of .thoTotlog population
of Salt Luke are eliminated on account of a
certain unfortunate Condition of things
which exists thero. I thlnlcit maybe safe
to say that nearly two thousand votes were
eliminated under iho Iiiw [ enforced there In
respect to the disqualification of certain pee
ple. The voting population of Salt Lakn
today Is , I venture to sayf 5,000 , and I think
tbo population is hard ou to tiO.OOO.
Senator Vest also opposed the measure ,
and the morning hour having expired the bill
wont over. _ J"
