Secretary Lamar has denied the application of E. F. Drake and A. H. Wilder, acting as trustees for certain holders of bonds secured by mortgage of the lands granted to the State of Iowa to aid in the construction of the Sioux City & St. Paul railroad, made against the order of July 26, 1887, throwing 26,016 acres open to settlement. These are the lands in O'Brien and other counties of Iowa which, having once been patented to the state and unearned by the road, where by direction of the legislature certified by the governor back to the government, accepted by it and thrown open as above stated. The protestants based their protests and requests for revocation upon the theory that the action of the government was in effect a forfeiture, which is a light resting, not with the department but with congress, which made the grant. The sécretary holds that these lands had been granted as indemnity, and 08 the road in question had no reason for indemnity lands that have no basis for their claim. The State of Iowa recognized that the lands had been inadvertently patented toit, and returned to them. They had been conveyed to it without any authority under the granting act, and having been conveyed, the department could do nothing but throw them open to settlement. The lands not being granted lands, this act did not constitute a forfeiture. They were merely placed in the hands of the government as lands that had been erroneously* conveyed by it, and were therefore clearly public lands. After being open thirty-four years, Harry Hill's famous resort on Houston street, N. Y. was closed, because Hill could not get a license.
