giving Congressional sanction to the acts Of
legislation OF the Territory of Arizona passed dur
ing its last session.
Under ordinary circumstances n resolution of this
kind would attract little attention. The laws ia
question would be referred to a Subcommittee,
which, after giving them n hasty examination.
would report favorably, unless there was something
of an unusual character contained in the acts. In
the present instance the approval or dsapproyal of
these laws involves an important question now at
issue between the Texas and Pacific RAN
road Company, and the Southern Pacific

its road to Fort Yuma, and Mr.. Huntington is dcsr-
Gus Of pushing his line eastward across Arizona over
the route already selected by the Texas aud Pacific
Road The California charter of the Southern Pa
cic of course confcrs upon II no rights beyond the
boundaries of that State, but Mr. Huntington has
secured the passage Of an act by the Legislature OF
Arizona granting to his company charter To eX-
tend It's line from Fort Yuma Ia FL Paso IN Texas.
The Texas and PacInc interest Is of course strongly
opposed TO this extension, ana Us attorney has At
