Washington. Juno 18. Tho house
has passed the Indian war veteran bill
for which the Oregon delegation has
hoen struggling so uianv years. The
hill is identical with that which passed
the senate on February 18 lust, except
for an unimportant or 1ml amendment.
As issed, the bill makes immediately
applicable the provisions of the Block
hawk pension act. Those who will bo
rewarded aro tho surviving officers and
enlisted men, including marines, mili
tia and volunteers of the military and
naval service of the United States, who
served for 30 days or more, nnd wero

null and void.
Tlio bill will now go back to the
senate, where the amendment of the
house will be concurred in, and tho
measure will then go to the president
for his signature. The fact that he has
heretofore indorsed tho bill insures his
early approval.

ravines, nnd overgrown by underbrush

kind of cover. As the men are armed
with 30 30 rifles and have an abundance

arms and gavo up the light at Barlow

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
Our Duty lo the Republic Is Not Yet Com
ptetc Is a Weak Nation and Needs the
Help ol Our Country Would Merely He
Giving Practical died to President Mc
Klnlcy's Words.
Washington, June HI. The president
has sent a message to congress, In part
as follows:
To the Bonuto mid house of represent
atives I doom it important, before tho
adjournment of the present session of
congress, to call attention to the fol
lowing expressions In the message,
which, in the dlschnigeof thu duty Im
posed iiihiii mo by tlio constitution, 1
wilt to congress tho first Tuesday of
IVeetnbor last :
"Elsewhere I have dlscum'd the
question of reciprocity. In the enso of
Culm, however, there are weighty rea
sons of morality and of iritlonnl lute
rests why tlio jHilley should lie hold to
have n Hcullar application, and I must
earnestly ask your attention to the
wisdom, indeed to the vital need, of
providing for a substantial reduction
in tlio tariff dutlus on. Cuban luiortM
into the United States. Cuba has In
her constitution affirmed what wo de
sired, that she should stand In inter
national matters In closer and more
friendly relations with us than w 1th
any other power, anil wo are bound by
every consideration of honor nnd ex
pediency to pasi commercial measures
in the Interest of her well being.
This recommendation was merely
giving practiral effect to President Mc
Kinley's words when, In hi message
of Deevtnlier 5, 1899, he wrote:
"It is important that our relations
with tliii people of Cuba shall bo of
the 1110.-1 friendly character, and our
commercial relations close and recipro
cal.
Objections have la-en made to the
granting of tho reduction on thu ground
that the substantial benefit would nut
go to Hie agricultural producer of sugar,
but would inure to the American sugar
refineries. In my judcuient, provision
can he made which will guarantee us
against the possibility, without having
rooouro to doubtful lmlicy, such as n
liounty In tho form of n rotmte.
We are n wealthy and liowerful mi
lion; Cuba is a young republic, still
weak, who owes to us her birth, whoso
whole future, whoso very life, must
depend nn our attitude toward her. I
ask that we help her as she struggles
upward along the painful and dillicult
road ol self government and iudeiiend
enco. I ask this aid for her liecause
shu is weak, licrauso she needs it, lie
cause we have already aided her. I ask
that chii handed help, of a kind
which a self reflecting people can ac
cept, 1st given to Cuba for the verv
reason that we hao given her such
help In the past. Our soldiers fought
to give her freedom, and for throe years
our representatives, civil and military.
have toiled unceasingly, facing disease
of a peculiarly sinister and futnl typo,
with patient anil uncomplaining forti
tude, to teach her how to use nright
her new freedom. Never in history
lias any alien country beenhus ad
ministered with such high integrity of
purpose, such win) judgment, and such
n single handed devotion to the coun
try's interest. Now. f ask that the
Cubans lx given all iossible chance to

of which Americans havo such right to
bo proud and for which so many Amer

and forcibly rhowed the necessity frr
tho legislation, lie said In part:
"Tho constitution confers upon con
gress the full and absolute right lo ills
kvi of and mako all needful regula
tions In tegard to territory of thu
United States. In dealing with public
lauds there la no provision of tho con
slltuthm limiting the power of congress
It Is absolute. Tills view has lieen
upheld by numerous decisions of state
and federal courts. Tlio absolute iwiwer
of dlsxisal Implies the absolute power
of dslposing of the fprncoeds of tho
lauds. Tho ponding bill In designed to
dlHvosool public lauds. Millions of
acres now worthies cannot Iki disponed
of under any existing laws. This law-
proposes irrigation solely ior tho pur
iNiso of dlsiKisiim of tlio lands. Tlx
United States having power to dispose
oi mo minis, may take such moans hh In
the judgment ol tho legislative authori
ty Is best adapted fur that purpose.
This view has lieen repeatedly upheld
by the decisions of the supieme com t of
the United States."
Mr. Tonguo cited a mimlier of rases
in statu mid federal courts, Including
the supremo ocurt, to show that tho
United States, with or without tho con
sent of the states or territories, may
exercise the right of eminent domain
and condemn private pnHirty wherever
It Is necessary to carry out any of thu
powers couicrml iiihiii tlio general gov
ernment. If it has a right to iIIsimiso
of the lauds, it has a right to condemn
private property and acquire necessary
water. The bill, however, provides
tiiat mis right slum I mi exercisiil in
conformity with tlio laws of the several
states and territories, all of whose
constitutions contain provisions author
izing thu condemnation ol water rights.
These provisions, he Mys, have lieen
reticntcdly upheld in tlio courts, whlcl
also hold irrigation to Im it public use.
Ho denied Buy's statement that the
government has no constitutional rlidit
toapply procoodanf public lands to Irri
gation, lie added that this very pr!n
ciplu had been carried out in ntimlicr
less instances. Congres hns author
lied the use of such proceeds in tlio im
prnvemonl of streams wholly within n
stale, for tlio construction of unlversi
lies, agricultural colleges, normal
schools, state is'iiitcutlaric. state asv
linns, mining schools, etc., and In the
bill recently wssed admitting threw
new states, re-ndnptiil these identical
provisions. His argument was receive.
with loud npplauso.
