TON BILL BY THE HOUSE.
lBI TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, March 2j.-The McCrary Trans
poration bill won victory to-day that was to all
appearances sure precursor OF its passage to-mor
row. After three hours of debate, during which Mr..
George f. Hoar made a speech i'll favor of the bill.
which, as coming from prominent w-England
representative, was more effective than dozen
Granger" speeches. the previous question was sec
onded and the main question ordered by large
maiorities. This cut off all amendments, and drove
into the ranks of the supporters of the measure all
those who had rival bills or amendments
to perfect, as they thought, tho pending
one. but who preferred to take the AlcCrary bill as
1t was than have the principle of Government regu-
lation of railroads suffer defeat. Yea and Nay
vote was forthwith taken motion to lay the bill
upon the table, and the motion was lost, by 20 TO
127. After this the House adjourned leaving the
vote on final passage to come up in the morning.
The opposition to the BILL with the exception of two
or three able speeches. has been feeble and irreso-
Lutte throughout the whole discussion, and its oppo-
nents appear to have trusted to the supposed
conservative sense of the House to take
alarm at the startling innovation the measure
proposes aud defeat it In the eud They greatly un-
derestimated the strength of the cheap transporta

LARGELY to the too great Importance they attributed
to the refusal of nearly all the old leaders both
sides of the House to take part in the discussion
They forgot that the House contains majority of
raw recruits who unreasonably jealous of these
former leaders and who delight in showing their in
dependence of them. No influence of any kind ap-
pears to have been brought to bear against the bull

An APPEAL FOR PEACE.

We have received, with a request to
publish it, the following petition pre-
pared by the Executive Committee of the
American Peace Society:
In view of the happy issue OF our late
arbitration with Great Britain, now so
promptly and faithfully fulfilled and of
the recent address of the British House
of Commons to the Queen, praying her
:" to instruct her principal Secretary Of
State for Foreign Affairs to enter into
communication with foreign powers with
view to the further Improvement of In
terpational Law and the establishment of
general and permanent system of Inter
national Arbitration. -
We, the undersigned, citizens OF the
United States, earnestly pray His Excel
iency the President, and the Honorable
Senate and House of Representatives in
Congress assembled, to use all suitable
endeayors for the attainment of these
great and benetcent objects, and as a
preliminary measure in the interest of
general security and national disarma-
ment, to seek and express stipulation be-
tween nations that they will not resort
to war till peaceful arbitration has been
tried, and never without full years
previous notice.
Whether the efforts Of the American
Peace Society will succeed depends in n
great measure upon the individual exer-
tions Of those who feel most deeply on
the subject. The friends of peace WI ,
read the foregoing petition are requested
to attach to it half sheet or more Of
common-sized paper, date it, rule it for
names, postoffices, and States, circulate
the petitions for signatures, or at least
leave them in public places for the same,
and send them to Howard c. Durham,

ciety, at No. !, Somerset street, Boston.
These petitions will then be forwarded to

gress for presentation and advocacy. Let
men, women and children be invited to
sign them (for all are sufferers from war
and let us send up to our legislators an
appeal for peace, urged by so many that
it will be heard and needed. We shall
have war with its horrors, or peace with
its blessings, as public sentiment pre-.
ponderates for one or the other.
