The johnson bill in the senate is
nothing less.than Huntington meas>
ure, and the friends in congress of the
Texas and Pacific are about to sit down
on the senator from Virginia, who has
too much of bullying brow. We fully
agree with the Louisville Comier.Jo,unai
that congress cannot pass such a bill, as
the one introduced by Senator johnson,
because the government Is pledged to
secure the extension Of the Texas and
Pacific to San Diego by the terms of the
charter, and because Huntington has
failed to comply with the Southern Pa
cific charter as TO the extension of his
lines, being short of completion four
hundred and sixty-fve miles, and be,
cause the Colorado river is the limit to
which the Southern Pacific can 90. The |
Texas aud Pacific bill:provides a meth,
cd of securing..assouthern transconti-
mental line, without subjecting the gov
eminent or people to. inconvenience or
loss. The Central Southern Pacific cor.
poration, built up out of the'proceeds
of fragrant robbery of the government
demands that it be licensed to get an.
other deadly grip upon the treasury
and the commerce of the country; de.
mands license from congress to plum,
Ter government and people and main.
ain its grinding tyranny ON the Pacific
'oast. Any scheme which gives Hunt h
ngton the rights and franchises of the
'exas and Pacific is betrayal of the
'eople into the hands of the Could
huntington monopoly. |,

special dispatch to The Times from Berlin says:
Russia having consented to enter into negotiations
for an almstice even If the prclimnarles OF peace
are not settled beforehand, the conclusion of truce
is probable"
This is probably the real basis of the apparent ac-
cord between Russia and England. The later efforts
of England have been reported TO be directed to fix
ing a limit to the powers of the commanders iii ar
ranging truce, and preventing them from discuss
ing the main stpulatIons which might contain pre-
limiraIics OF peace. That there are limits to her
claim TO a separate settlement even Russia has adj
mittci all along. tho only question being
whether the Car wond consent 10 have these limits
fixed at present, and the demand of only one
power.
According TO The 7ime,'s Berlin correspondent,
who is in a good position TO know, n compromise
has been reached rather favorable to the British
view. When the English Cabinet asked Russia to
state her conditions for peace or an armsilce ana
Russia declined, England began new negotiation
10 secure the separation of arnstcc from terms
of peace. Tn Russian official press have since per-
sstcntly declared The two steps nscparablc, thereby
implying that Russia would net abandon her claim
TO conclude a singic-handed peace Engand's po-
sion during the negotiations has been stated TO be
that she would take steps toward encouraging an
