Legislature of Arizona granting to
his Company a charter to extend
its line from Fort Yuma to Ell Paso.

subcommittee showing why, in
his opinion, this particular act Of

The An;f.Subsidy Rexoiutton.
WASHINGTON Jan. 29th.-The
overwhelming vote of ia against
30, by which the House to-day
adopted Bakers anti-subsidy reso-
luton, discouragss the Texas-
Pacific railroad bill advocates, but
it is not accepted by them as con-
elusive of the fate of their meas
ure. They say that many of their
friends are ready to claim, when it
comes up for action, that it should
be made an exception to the gen.
eral rule or that it does not really
provide for what is properly de-
nominated n subsidy. Davis, Lut-
trell and Wren voted for Bakers
resolution; Williams, of Oregon,
against it, and Page and Pacheco
were not present when the vote
was called.
