Wasuineron, D, C,, Dee, 7.—Tho House in the morning hour commenced the consideration of the bill which provides that the Unfon Pacific Ruflroad shall pro-rato passcngzer rates and fares with the Burlingon & Missofirl Raflroad. This DIl practically inokes the Burlington & Mis- sourl Road u branch of the Unlon Pacifie, with the full privileges of the latter road. It is supported strongly by McCrary, of Jowa, and by a conslderable number of Congressmen through whoso territory.the road runs, The argutnent of thoso who favor the bill s, that the Intention of the oviginal nct was that the Burlington & Missourl Road should be apart of the Unfon Pacific Road, but that the Iatter road, taking advantage of a clerieal eirror inthe textof thoorganic act, has to this day defeated the pus e of thatact. The fricnds of the Union Pacific Road upon the floor indicut~ ed abellet that tho paseage of the bill would reduce the revenucs of the Unlon Pacific. They based their opposition upon this ground. In order to securs defeat by poatponement, they endeavored to take advantageof arulsof tho House, which provides that ooy bill makine appropriations of publle property or affecting overnment rovenues shall Hrst bo considered in Committco of the Whole. Tlhey claim that this pro-rata bill would reduce tho reveuues of the Unlon Pacltie, and oonaequmulélmpnlr the securitics of that roud held by the Government, s well a8 reduce the amount required by law to begset aslde for tha sinking fund, which i85 per cont of the net earnings. The bill went over ot the expiration of the morning hour, It s evident that the Union Pacilc will oppose this bil) with all {ts resources, and the friends of the mensurc through Iowa and Kansas will need to be very sklliful to secure its passnge in _the faco of tho opposition that will beorgunized ‘agalust ¢, NOTES AND NEWS.
