WASHINGTON. FeD. ~.
The House Pacific Railroad Con-
mittee agreed this morning, by a vote
of six to five, to report and recon-
mend the passage of the Texas Paciflc
Railroad bill as agreed to by the sub
committee. A number of Senators
whose names have been teleeraphed to
California as on Stewards list OF OPP
ponents of all subsidy measures, will
vote for Scott's Texas Pacific bill.
Flanagan, instead of being an oppo-
nent as represented by the Central
Pacific Railroad organs dispatches, is
an enthusiastic and outspOken advo-
cate of the bill. The favorable action
of the House Committee to-day greatly
encourages the anti-monopolists, and
indicates concurrence by tho House.
The vote in the House Pacific Rail-
road Committee OF reporting the Texas
Pacific bill was:
Ayes-Killenger, Houghton, Sypher,
Wells, Barnum and stanford.
Noes-Sawyer, Williams of Michi-
gan, Corwin, McDill Ct Iowa, and
Neal.

favor the bill.

ing the week a number OF leading Lib
erals from New York and other States.
Their consultations with Senators Fen-
ton and Schnrz are observable. The

the Cincinnati movement seem fully
in accord with the opinions there an
nounced, which they suppose to be
lie iding TO independent action by the
people.
The House Judiciary Committee to-
day, after discussion, tabled the reso-
luton for the repeal of the so-called
Poland gag law, taking the ground that
il was for the courts to decide whether
the subject OF libel was covered by its
provisions.
