THE Fate of the Bill for Funding Debts of Foci Co Roads. LIVELY DEBATt LOOKED FOR SOON ninl 1'iu-n of I1i < % .Meiittiirp to l.ock Horn * In CIuJloilio May Po At-tlun. AVASIIINGTOX , Jan. 3. The houao will get down to BCrlous. business as soon as It rcasscmblca after the holiday reccw on Tues day. Probably the two most Important pieces of general legislation to be acted upon at 'llio nhort session have been made special ordcm , and will consume the entire week. They are the Loud bill to amend the laws relating to second-class mall matter so as to prevent the shipment of books nnd serial pub lications In connection with ncwapapcm at the 1 cent per pound rate , and to cut off the newspapers' sample copy privilege , nnd the bill prepared by the Pacific railroads to ex tend their payments for fifty years nt 2 per cent. The funding bill has already been de bated one day , and under the order adopted the debate will contlnuo Tuesday and AVedncoday , and the bill will be brought to n vote on the latter date. The Pacific railroad bill will bo tnkcn up on Thursday. The general debate will con tlnuo until Friday evening. On Friday the bill will bo opened to amendment under the flve-mlnuto rule , nnd on Monday the vote will be taken on the bill nnd pending aircnd- menlfl. The fate of the measure will de termine whether the government will fore close Us mortgages on the Union and Central Paclflca. Doth these roada have defaulted , and President Cleveland served notice In so many words in his me > ago to congresM that unless some congressional action was taken Imme diately , stcra would be taken under the authority of the present law to protect the government's interest by foreclosure pro ceedings. The friends of the roads realize fully Hint this is the last chance they will have to ac complish the funding of the debt for which they have striven for ten ycara , and they will use all their Influence In Its behalf. Hut the bill also haa many bitter enemies In the west and on the Pacific const. Mr. 1'owets of A'ermont , chairman of the committee , will bo Its principal champion on the floor , while Mr. Sulzer of N w York and Mr. Magulro of California will lead the opposition. Doth sides are now figuring on a majority , and the fate oi ? the bill la In grave doubt. The de- bnto Is expected to be of n very lively nature , and there may be some srnsatlonnl Incidents. SENATE FORECASTS. - Beyond the fact that the bill providing for free homcatead of former Indian reservations on the calendar Is the unfinished business , the senate lies no program for this week. There la liable to bo n sharp clash of In terests In the effort to secure consideration nnd n possibility that this clash may de velop an Interesting situation. The friends of the Pacific railroad funding bill will make an effort to get that measure up for consideration , unless they conclude that In doing so they may Impair Its chances of passage. Until the past day or two it appeared cer tain the Cuban resolutions would bo sprung Immediately after the beginning of business on Tuesday. It Is now possible , even prob able , that both questions will go over , at least for a few days. If the movement to have the committee on foreign relations again consider the question as to when It shall bo taken up prevails , the question can not be raised until after the committee meeting on AVcdnesday , nnd the advocates of delay arc becoming quite sangulno that if they succeed In preventing consideration until AVcdncsdp.y they will secure n still further postponement. Senator Gear , chairman of the Pacific rail roads committee , In doubtful of the advisa bility of pressing for consideration his fund ing bill until nftcr'lho action of the house on the same measure. , and may wait upon that body. If ho does not delay on this nccount , ho will niaho an effort to get the bill up on Tuesday , or immediately after the homestead bill shall be disposed of. If either the Pacific bill or the Cuban resolution secures consideration , there will bo n sharp contest nnd much unlmatcd de bate. The homestead bill will bo opposed by Senator Platt and others , while Senator Pet- tlgrcv.- will take the lead In its advocacy. IXDIAA'.S AM ) KllEnT"IIOMKSTHA11S. . Sfiuilor rintt Will rrcNfiil n Minority llrport oil Tiii'Mility. AVASHINGTON , Jan. 3. Senator Platt will on Tuesday present the minority report of the senate committee on Indian affairs In opposition to the "free homestead" bill which heads the senate calendar. The report op poses the bill on the general grounds of the vast expense Its adoption would entail upon the government. Commencing with the year 1SS9. ho says the government haa purchased 33,252,540 acres of land from the Indians , agreeing to pay $25,201,937 tor It , besides $3.000,000 set apart as a trust fund for the benefit of the Indians of the great Sioux reservation. "If , " says the report , "all the land already opened to settlement upon Indian reserva tions heretofore ceded shall be taken up , the sum to bo paid therefor by the settlers will be $ S.r ,353OOO.SO. This bill proposes to re lease the settlers from the payment of this sum. " The report calls attention to the fact that Itas provided in > the nets bearing upon these settlement ! ) with the different tribal of Indians that settlers uhotild pay sufllclent for the lauds to reimburse the government for money paid the Indians. Several million acres of land are embraced. The bill aa It passed the house applied only to lands In Oklahoma , but by the amend ments made by the senate committee the provisions ot the bill are extended to all ceded lni ! u , the amount being more than three tlmcri that contemplated In the bill as it pasted the house. All lands on Indian reservations thus opened for settlement have been paid for by the goi-crnmcnt before the opening of the same except In the case of the Cherokee outlet - lot , where payment was to bo made In In stallments and the mini of ? ! . 'JSO,000 still re mains unpaid , and In the case of the Great Stoux , Chlppcwa nnd Colvllle reservations , whcro the- Indians are to bo paid as the gov ernment shall receive the money from set tlers upon disposal of the lands. Another amendment proposed to the bill In effect re quires that the government shall , upon re leasing the settler ; ) from payment of their obligations , pay the Indians for these lands the sum per aero which by law Is now to be paid by the settlers. "If , " sajs the report , "this amendment bhould bo adopted and the bill pasa , the gov ernment would be called upon to pay In the future , Including the amount not yet duo on the Cherokee outlet purchase , a sum approx imating $15,000,000 " The rrport calln attention to the fact that negotl.uloim nro pending for the acquisition of ot'ncr Indian lands which are being con ducted upon the policy that the government hall bo reimbursed for Us outlays , Roferrlng to the origin of the bill , Senator Platt BUYS In his report : "The excitement which prccidcd thu opening ot lands In Okla homa will be still remombeied , ns will the mad rut.li n arccly controlled by government authorities to secure these lands upon the well umlfrMno'l condition uf payment for the aatno in addition to compllnncc with the pro vision of the homestead laws. In every np- peal made to coiiKreas for th.i opening of the lands ot these rc4crvntlni the argument that llio government oulit not to be put to the Ini'Ko axpoue of p.tjrnvntu for the re- llnguli-hmfnt of tliolr tltlo was answered by thcuo who ndvocntisl an I Instated upon th > > pa&ngn of bills for that purposu by tiaylnK that It WAS understood the gavcrnmcn1 should be relmmireeil by the settlers. " fonllnulng. ho nrgueir "Jt U probaH- not too much to say that not DIM of the agreement * , made with the Indians .ccdlnp their Inir.laoiilil liavn been r.itlflcd.-nnd not ,111 art opening them for eettlcmen. ! would havn bc < 'ii pn'l If It had not been ttior- oughl > undcrHtocd nnd agrord that the not- 'U'l.i npo'i those lands nhonld reimburse the cr.vcrnm iit for the amount < wpandd by It o obtain them.

The pur chase of ICO acres ami the donation , of the same to a citizen Is entirely another thing nnd con be Justified In the opinion of the undersigned upon no consideration of public policy or governmental duty. Aa well mlgh the government be called upon to buy lands from Individual owners or syndicates nm doimto them as free liomoa to scttlcm ns to bo called upon to buy lands from the Indiana for such purposes.

According to the stntoincnto rando by the Douglas county members of the legislature they will uot scatter their Hro when II comes down to working for matters of loca Interest. Interviewed upon mutters nnd measures that they would push , tlwsy ono and all expressed tliu opinion that the Trauamlsslsslppl Exposition and the clt ) charter bills would receive their attention. They expressed the opinion that while these two bills were of local Interest , they would at the same time Interest the state at large , and that on the whole they could not bo considered purely In the light of local meas ures. Individual expressions upon legislative matters have been furnished The lleo ns follows : Senator J. II. Uvans said : "In the coming session of the legislature I shall ilvo ; es pecial attention to the work of securing a liberal appropriation for the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition. In fact , I bollovo I was chosen to this position an that Issue. I shall work unceasingly to obtain this end , and think that we shall secure substantial aid from the state. "I am In favor of a new city charter , but I am not in favor of all the provisions for a new Instrument that have been suggested. Just what features I object to I should prefer not to enumerate at this tlmo. There will bo a meeting of all the Douglas county senators and representatives at Lincoln dur ing the next few days to consider the matter of a now city charter for Omaha. At that tlmo the various propositions which have been made utth a view to making a better city charter will bo thoroughly investigated. It would bo Inopportune to discuss the mat ter before that meeting. " UHPUULICANS NOT AGGRESSIVE. "Do I think there will bo any anti-railroad legislation ? No , I think not. I am In formed that there Is a strong conservative class among the democrats , who will stren uously object to any vicious legislation , and [ believe they,1 with the republicans , will hold the balance of power. I candidly be- llovc that nothing but wise and cautious measures will get very fur In this session of the legislature. At a meeting of some of the republican members , held a short tlmo ago , it was decided that wo should not attempt to force any legislation. The power lies In the hands of the people's Inde pendent party , and It was thought best to illow their representatives to take the In itiative In al | 'inattcrs. Wo shall endeavor lo work harmoniously with them In nil log- slatlon which may. be beneficial to the state. The republicans \vlll do nothing to antag onize the Independents , but will rather try : o co-opcrata .with them on measures in- icndcil for the gopd of Nebraska. "There hns.bceiii some talk about adopting a law regarding the foreclosure of mort gages , similar to , the one now in effect in Iowa , I hare looked into the matter to a certain extent , and , so far as I can sec , such a law would > l > a of the greatest benefit to Nebraska. There , , if a man holds a mort gage of $1,000 on a piece of property , ho : au on the foreclosure sale bid it up to 51,000. In this state the property would > robably bo bought In for ? 500. The mort- jagor may redeem It within a year. The Mortgagee ri'iiiB no danger of a deficit In .he adjustment , nnd there Is no likelihood if the matter being held up In the courts 'or four or five years. I think such a law wculd 'greatly s'lrciigthcn Nebraska credit , md , so far as I can-Sec , It would work no lardshlp to the debtor class. I bcllevo such a measure will be introduced Into the coni ng session , and I am heartily In favor of ts passage. " Senator Frank T. naneom was seen Satur day afternoon by a Hco reporter and asked what measures ho favored. Ho was very ! ) usy closing up legal matters preparatory to Ills departure for Lincoln , and with inaUer.i pertaining to his canvass for the presidency it the senate , and'stated that ho had no lime to tell what measures he Was1 going to champion. He couldn't tell anyway until ho got to Lincoln , and saw the lay of the ground. Senator E. E. Howell raid that It would bo hard for him to tell Just what bill. ] lie would champion until ho arrived In Lincoln.
