if the government will foreclose

Union Pacific to tho government Is
833000000. With the sinking fund ln-
sluded it aggregates $00000000. Un-
der this proposition the government
would lose 821.000000 getting only
nbout 00 per cent of tho debt As
agreed to by the reorganization com-
mittee nnd thj attorney-general a de-
posit of ten per cenL of tho bid or 84-
500000 Is required as a guarantco of
good faith. As soon as this sum Is de-
posited tho attorney-general will pro-
ceed. Papers aro now ready und fore-
closure proceedings may begin as soon
as the necessary Instructions can bo
sent to the district attorneys in tho
various localities where suits will havo
to bo Inaugurated. Tho reorganiza
tion committee controlled by Pierpont
Morgan has 890000000 of collateral
security. Its minimum value of Sl-V

Wasivi.sjotos Jnn. 20. Senator Piatt
of Connecticut whoso views on Indian
legislation do not generally agree with
thosb maintained by western members
has presented a bill which Is causing
lively comment. It is intended the
author says In the title tp secure to
tnc citizen i nutans in tue inuian terri-
tory the equal use ot their tribal lands
and to extend the jurisdiction of the
United States courts to tho territory.
Senator Piatt wants all tho lands be
longing to tho Choctawsand the Chick-
asaws allotted so as to give each In-
dian his proper proportion. Tho ap-
praisement nnd allotment of lands is
to be dono through tho Dawes com-
mission and under its supervision.
AH mineral and coal lands aro to
be reserved for the ttcncflt of the two
tribes. Mineral lands in tho Cherokee
Muscogee and Seminole tribes aro not
to be reserved. Leases of any sort are
not to hold good for a longer period
than two years and per capita pay
ments arc to be made directly to each
individual citizen. It Is given out nt
tho Interior department that tho bill is
really intended to ratify tho treaty
between tho Clioctnws and the Dawes'
:ommlsslon. It Is nlso said that when
Scoretary Francis transmits to the
president the message containing tho
treaty he will approve ottlclally of the
Piatt bill as the proper medium for
