Mr. HED RSON. Lest the Senator may labor under any misapprehension of what my design is in reference to this thing, I will ask him to turn to section eight. QI propose, if this amendment shall be adopted, to strike out all after the word “State, ” in the 8th line of the 8th section, in the following words: And the right of waythroughsaidIndian Territory is hereb grantedto said Kansas and Neosho Valley Railro company. its successorsand assi us. to the extent of 100 fact on eachside of said road or roads and all necessary grounds for stations. buildings. workshops.machine shops.switches.side tracks. turn tables. and water stations. It was objected the other day by the Senfrom Illinois [Mr. TRUMBULL] that this would interfere with the Indian reservations. Itherefore propose to strike out that clause and to insert: The right of way through the Indian Territory, whereversuch right is now reserved or may hereafter be reserved.to the U.S. by treaty with the Indian tribes is herebygranted to said company to the same extent asgrantedby the 6th section of this act through the public lands. By turning to the 6th section the Senator will see what that is: And in all caseswhere the right of way. as afore said. through the Indian lands shall be reservedto the Government the said companyshall. beforeconstructing its run. procurethe consentof the tribe or tribes interested.which consent.with all its terms and conditions shall be previously approved and indorsed by the President and tiled with the SecyInterior. That will obviate every objection made against building this road through the Indian country. I believe that the consent is now obtained, by pending treaties, from all the tribes except one, and that is the Cherokee tribe; and they have passed a resolution through their legislature inviting the construction 0 this road. I provide that the road shall not be built until treaty obligations have been secured reserving to the U.S. the right to build the road through there, or until the legislatures of these territorial organizations shall give their consent, and that consent shall have been indorsed by the President and filed with the SecyInterior.
