In the house today Mr. Dorsoy attempted
to have adopted a resolution recalling forcor-
icction the bill extending the time of pay
ment of puieluibcrs of lands of the Omaha
tribe of Indians In N'ebriska , hut Iho demo
unts howled him down , sa\lngtho ) did not
pioposo to help the president out of n hole ,
that "If ho wanted to do so , let him veto it
and wo will pass it over his veto , " etc. The
bill , however , bad Just been received from
the vvhito house bv Senator Mmder on , and
it will soon come up In its order and receive
the necessary corrections. Accompanying
the bill are letters from the attorney iioral
and Commissioner ClrolT. The nttoiney gen
eral siys : "It seems to mo that the prov Ision
that all the lands , oto , payment foi which is
hereby extended , shall basr.bject to taxation
in all respects by nnd iu the state of Ne
braska as If fully paid for and patents issued ,
Is esscnt hilly vicious It Is clear , 1 think , thut
under that prov Ision the hnds might bo sold
for stnto , county or other tnunielpal taxes ,
probably nlso lei special assessments , nnd , as
a result , the government might bo deprived
entirely of Its bccunty. It seems to mo also
that Ibo second section is Hablo to create
iron hie. If an entrj is amended it might bo
questionable whether the amendment will not
lelato to the time of the original entry ami
thus cieato dispute as to | > iloiltles. It would
scorn much hotter to provide , as the commis
sioner of the general land oillco suggests , for
a now or additional entry This second ob
jection , however , is a inUtor of details , but
tlio llrst DUO , itsecins to mo , ought to pievent
tin * upproMil of the bill. "
Land Commissioner Clroft snjs tint , to pre
vent any lonstiui'tion which would in effect
render the land subject to sale for taxes bo-
foio the United States had received the full
imreh iso piico , the bill should bo amended
by adding the following : "Profiled ,
that no s.ilo of any suiili land for taxo. )

said lands or any p ut of ttio pnroh iso price
thonof , or inteiost due thereon Iut ! If de

much of said puiehaso inico and interest us
iniiv remain unpaid , and shall thereupon bo
entitled to receive a patent for the sumo as
though ho had iniulo the duo settlement
theieon ; and , provided fuither , tint nothing
in this net shall lie so construed as to deprive
or impair the ilgnt of the settler to the light
of redemption under the revenue hws of the
state of Nebraska" Commissioner Urolt
savs further "Tho second section of
said hill provides that entry men on snid
lands who ha\o taken less than 1(10 ( acres
may amend their enti ies and purchase at the
nppialsed price additional land contingent to
the land Included in their original entries , but
limits tlio nrea covered by such amended
entries to KM ) acres In suih cases wheio

rules of the oftlco would require , where
