DISCUSSION OF THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC
RAILROAD.
The House Pacific Railroad Committee
this morning heard arguments on the
Texas Pacific railroad bill. Mr.. Storrs,
for the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, centended that the Texas company
had not completed the railroad as the law
required and it was now competent 70
adopt measures to secure its speedy com.
pletion. This could be more e%ttectually
done by granting authority to the South
ern Pacific company to continue on east 10
the Rio Grande, at FL Paso, and tranier
so much OF the former land grant as 1t
should a by SO building. He also
claimed that the Texas company had no
right TO build a railroad across to Cali
iornia, not having the authority Of that
State. He also contended that the South
ern Pacific had the right TO construct a
bridge across the Colorado river and the
Texas Pacific had not.

The above amount for "pablic buildings" Is In
the line Of economy In various ways: First, tho
buildings are needed, aud If completed would save
TO the Government IN amount in rent greater than
tho interest on their cost; second, that they can DO
built very much cheaper now than ever before, and
much cheaper than hereafter, when business shall
have revived third, IL being In the line Of economy
to finish them now. another powerful motive Is
items for " lifc-saying service" and Lighthouses"
&C., arc for the encouragement and protection Of
commerce and for safety to life and property. Tho
items for navy. yards, a~rsenals," &c, Is rendered
necessary by tho dilapidatcd condition OF this kind
Of public property by reason Of tho failure to make
tho necessary appropriations TO take care off during
tho last two years. The S2J0,OO0 for " indcmnifying
tho States" was simply In compliance with y law
which requires these claims to DO paid when audited.
DEFICIENCIES CAUSED ny uSwARRASrED REDrc.
TioSs.
The large amount of over $1,000 900 for "dcfcicn.
cics" was necessary because the House has been
compelled to pass SO many deficiency bills. on nc.
count Of former unwarranted reductions that they
were unwilling to make these, and SO throw the re-
sponsibility on tho Senate. About 100000 Of
these deficiencies were for the Post.0Hico Depart.
mcnt and the Department Of Justice. Tho courts In
some States had already been compelled to adjourn
for want Of funds, and the execution Of Justice
would have been substantially suspended II tho Sen.
v u 'hsio.co uPVh ePPioPiia.ion. cV'o-
raj branches Of the postal service would also have
been seriously crippled, or actually suspended. with
out them. These facts were all understood by the
House committed, but because the necessary dcfcicn-
cies would have swellcd their bills to an amount
larger than was agreeable or seemed cxpcdicnt, they
declined to insert them, leaving them TO DO put In
by the Senate, for which tho Senate was to DO
charged with extravaganza. The other item, $500.
600. for payment Of the Halifax award" was ncccs.
sary TO maintain the national honor. Had the Sen.
ate not inserted II rs m amendment an extra session
would have been avoidablc. Tho balance Of tho
