Bill for Quartermaster's Depot.
Senator Millard Introduced today a bill
making Omaha a general depot for the
quartermaster's department of the army
and appropriating $60,000 for carrying the
same Into effect There has been con
siderable agitation lately along the linos
of the proposed measure, a number of lead-'-s-wifm
oltlsens of Omaha having written let-
(era to Senator Millard urging! that the de
partment depot In that city be made a
a-uneral dopot In view of Its railroad fa
culties and the number of nearby gar
risons which could be immediately supplied
from Omaha, Owing to the lateness of the
esalon it ia extremely doubtful If the
bill will receive consideration, although
Quartermaster General Humphrey has fa
vored the project for years.
Senate Hears Railroaders.
The senate committee on territories today
had under consideration Senator Dietrich's
bill granting a charter to the Transalaaka
Railroad company to build a road from
Yaldea to Eagle City, Alaska. Senator
Dietrich presented the reasons why the
raeaaure should be passed and referred to
several amendments , to the bill regarding
the guarantee of bonds by the govern
ment to conform to legislation recently enacted.
Mr. Qillett of the Burlington operating
department spoke of the engineering fea
tures of the project and gave a highly
interesting talk about conditions In Alaska,
Mr. Kelby of the law department of the
Jsurllngton, who is one of the Incorporators
of the new company, took occasion to cor
rent a number of errors which Kdward
Brown, representative of the Knit ker
bockor Trust company, had made In hi
statement before the house committee.
It la expected that Chairman Beverldne
of the senate committee will appoint a sub
committee to consider the several bill
granting charters to prospective railroad
companies, but the chances of legislation
are not roseate.
Fight oa Bridge Bill.
Senator Millard Is more than ever dc
tcrmlned that the bill permitting a new
bridge to be built across the Missouri at
Omaha shall not be passed, even though
the contention is that both ends of the
structure will be on Iowa soil. He will
make use of the statement of Mr. Wads
worth before the city council of Council
Bluffs, wherein the latter stated that there
was no money back of the project at pres
ent, but as soon as a charter was given
to construct the bridge he would guaran
tee money enough to construct the bridge

Lommlsslon Recommends Important
Amendments In Homestead Art.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. The Public
Lands commission, which has been consid
ering the advisability of changes In the na
tional land laws, has completed its report

dent at once. It makes Important recom
mendatlons intended to correct existing
abuses.
The abuse nnd evasion of the timber and
sione act, whose repeal or sweeping modi
ncatlon, has been urged repeatedly
In government reports, and the
commutation clause of tho homestead law
are discussed, and It is believed that fhe
repeal or modification of the latter so as to
prolong the substantial residence on the
homestead required Instead of the present
short period are recommended. The ques
tion of reserving of the grazing lands of
the government la considered at length.
It Is estimated that there are 300,000,000
acres of land In this country apparently fit
only for grazing purposes, and the commis
sion has made recommendations designed
to prevent the constant dostructlve work
perpetrated on these lands by trespassers.
ond to prevent the frequent conflicts over
public grazing lands among different classes
of stockmen.
one of the recommendations considered
by the commission, and which it Is said the
commission has provided In substance. Is
that the land laws and their administration
be left In the hands of the Interior depart
ment; another provides for congressional
legislation turning over the grazing privi
leges on the public domain to the D. Dart
meut of Agriculture with ampL- safeguards
ana protection to the actual settler
The report goes Into a number of ether
matters with a view to protecting the Im
