Public land strip act and Ontonagon railroad forfeiture
The House passes a bill extending entry to public land south of Kansas under homestead law and authorizes settlement. The Ontonagon and Brule River railroad land grant is forfeited for 354 600 acres amid harsh criticism of the company as speculative and robbery, with evidence shown of poor construction and unsafe condition. The Senate discusses tariffs and banking, while other measures include pensions, Sioux claims, and Dakota admission.
