railroud ipii'Htion was resinned hefore
tiio Iioiihb ooniiuiltee ou thu I'mdlli:
railroad. Mr. Htorrn having llulmhed
hia wUtement of tho legal polntaupou
which tho Southern l'aoitlo of Callfor-
uiadexirud the right to build through
to I'A Vuho (Governor J. (J. llrown
vice pieDldciit of the Texan ami Tucillc
road tliscuHHOd fully the broad gen
erul (juiwtiiiiia which had governed thu
policy of the government lu aiding the
conatruotioii ot commercial highways.
lu thia comiecliou he argued that
all HtalcHtuen of the school of Btrict
coiiatruclloulritd with Calhouu at the
head had maintained the absolute
power of tho Uiiited Htatca to extend
thin aid and that one of the main in-
ducements of the recognition of the
GadHilen treaty had Uueu aqucatioit ol'
territory along the thlrty-aecond par-
allel through which ran the nat-
ural route for a truus-contincnUl rail
roud.
He then maintained by the decision
of the mipreme court that oongrenb
had full power to authorize tho erec
tion of bridges over navigable streams
and that the Southern l'aeilic of Call-
for n a had no authority to bridge the
C dorado so as to ootue eastward the
Texas and l'acltlc alone having thai
authority.
He quoted from tho sworn reports of
the Central and Southern Pacific rail-
road companies thut joint ownership
was practically In Messrs. Btandford
Huntitigton Crocker and- Hopklus
showing their present floating debt to
he nearly l i000(ii)0 besides a debt of
nearly l)0ii()0K) on tho coustructiou
of the Southern l'uclflc road. He ar-
gued from this that these gentlemen
had neither the money uor the credit
to build uuy more lines aud that their
only purpose In appearing hear was
to preveut the construction of a line
that would compete with the Central
racilic.
Ho then diticusstd the varlmn bills
prtsented by Messrs. Stephens House
Chalmers and Willis and allowed that
they all favored tho construction of the
coiiipetimr line between the Mississ
ippi and l'aoillo oceau dlfterlng only
as to the branches to be built from the
terminus of the Texan and l'acllli) to
the river. Also that uone of them
shall he permitted a single bond to be
Issued by thecoii'paiiy except to rep-
resent actual fwi which could not
exceed SJt.UXI per mile.
That th IVxn asd I'anlllc had built
already four hundred and forty-live
mile of road without a dollar of aid
from the government aud that justice
required the extension of aid asktd by
It s (he I'tilon and Central Taclflc
eompsnUs had received $H000UU0 of
bond and rlfty-three million acre of
hind the Notthern Pacific forty-.even
oiillioo oi-rts of land aud the Texv
and Pacific only eighteen million acres
no portion of Mi loh could the latter
receive until after it bad been built one
thousand miles through Texas.
Mr. Scoit president of the Texas and
Paciflo road then briefly reviewed the
grounds upon wlil !t the government
aid ws asked and tho adv.nt.uee
which the government and the people
would eecure through a competing line.
He ehowtd (bat with tbt present
price of labor and material aud the
ability to market the bonds al par
which would ha secured by the gov
eriiiuonl'. endorsement of the Interest
thereon t ha whole amount of annual
Interest to he paid out of tho earnings
of (lie line Would be less than JOI
OiKl.Owl while the pnwetit trauscoiitl
nental railroad line has to earn more
than four tltuea that amount
Mr. Scott further claimed that
under the plan proposed the Interim!
would be paid III six months by the
Texas ami Paciflo company while the
sinking fund would gradually redeem
the prluclpul aud leave the road ulti-
mately without debt.
That under the power reserved to
the government to regulate tho rates
so as to take care of tho actual
capital the rates would annually he
reduced to the grout beiielll of the
government and the people aud thai
the governnittiit alone would save
three million dollars yearly by the
building of (ho road more than the
entire Interest on tho bonds If It Uevcr
earned a rent
Mr. Sjott claims that the Central
l'aoillo company had no Intention to
build a lino to compete against them
selves but merely ottered to build a
road to preveut Ha oonstruotion ;
that (hey were not bound to build a
mile aud If this bill passed could alt
still six years aud during that time
moiiopoll.u tho entire tralllo across
the continent tax it as enormously as
they were doing now without uny
action; that the Texas aud Pacific
had spent $1000(1000 In good faith
and had it not been for the panic ol
73 would have had the whole Hue
neaily completed by this time and
under the aid propoitou wuuiti com-
plete It by the year I4W2.

two deputies slated that he would

Mr. Toinllnson then cuniiuoned tho
chief deputy marshal who proceeded
to the door of the collector's olllco and
there ordered the slierill' aud his as-
sistants as well as the crowd thai hud
gathered to (Unbuild.

that he was determined to execute the

were taken before Judge Billings sit-
ting iu the United States circuit
court but the latter said he had
nothing whatever to do with tlie mat-
ter as the parties hud not been am sl
ed by virtue of any process from his
court.
Mr. Wur.bcrger then took his pri
soners before Uuited States Commis-
sioner Luuc Where he hinted the case
when Lauo requested him to reduce
the subject mutter to a:i alllduvit.
Ureal excitement prevails about the
custom house.
4:110 p. in. Mr. Tomllusou the col-
leilor's corresponding secretary made
alllduvit before Commissioner Lane
against Houston for resisting a custom
house officer and has sent for the
commander of the reveuue cutter and
a detachment of marines ordering
them to he stationed at his door
through which u passage has to be
fleeted to reach the collector's ofllce.
Oeueral Sheldon aud Mr. Dolorveu
appearing before Commissioner Lane
and denying the jurisdiction of his
court asked for Houston's release. Mr.
Uurley an assistant district attorney
asked for a conilnuauco uutll Monday.
Lane refused to graut any continuance
but released Houston on his owu reo-
ogni.ance who II Is understood Im-.
muiliatuly dispatched a subordinate to
bring au armed force to force au en-
trance Into the customhouse. The en
trance to the collector's cfllce Is pa-
trolcd by armed marines from the
revenue cutter John A. Dlx. They
ftre (hero as a United States marshal's
force and under command of Major
Wharton.
The report that an attorney for the
returning board had made a uiotion
before Judge Hillings for a writ of
certiorari la not true. At adjournment
of court Judge Hillings stated that uo
such motion hud been made. It Is
understood that the reason why It wag
not made wis the certainty In the
mludsof the attorney! that it would
be refused.
Deputy Marshal Wurzberger etatee
that the marshal did not send for tbe
revenue marine but that Mr. Tomlhis

prolonged explanation from Lord Car-
uovun who had resigned (he Kml of
lieacoustleld said that after listening
to Lord Caruovau'a speech one waa
at a loss to understand why he re-
signed; he reminded his hearers that
the government wheu laying down
lirltluli Interests lia ileclaieii tuiit tho
occupation of CoiislHiitluoplo would
not ho regarded with indilltrcneo ami
Kuglaud desired thu maintenance of
existing treuty rcguhitlous hh to tho
details Including the fleet to Darda-
nelles in certain contingencies.
Lord lleaeonslield replied ttial as to
the date and form of what he (Lord
Granville) termed au armistice there
was no such instrument in existence.
He added that It was only decided ou
Tuesday last to send a tleet to tue Dar
danelles therefore tho government
was not conceding anything.

Karl Derby has not been at tlio for
elgn ofllce for two days. His health is
said to be not as good as the beginning
of the week. He is transacting tlie
business of his department at his pri-
vate residence. It Is believed that
bis resignation lias been' withdrawn
It Is also thought the government will
not now deem It necessary to ask for
supplementary estimate aud that the .
statement to mat elite t on Monday
will accompany au announcement tu
of a conclusion of the armistice. If a.
vnte be persisted In In the face of Tur-
key's acceptance of ltusaian conditions
it will be opposed by tbe liberals by all
the meunsln their power. Trustworthy
advices from Vieniiaintlleate that Aus-
tria has begun to look for something
tangible than the general assurance of
Russia's intention and had taken steps
to obtain at least formal dlplomatlo '
pledges that tho Interest of the monar
chy should suffer uo detriment.' Tlie
commuulcations exchanged are said to
have shown n more eurnest desire
than ever on the part of Russia to .
maintain (he good uniieistamllng
hitherto prevailing ami It la believed
that tbe present exchange of views
will lead to a satisfactory Issue. Ger-
many also according to a special dis-
patch from Berlin to the Times has
