WASHINGTON. February 17.-Manyp Pc
tiions were presented from the railroad
companies against the reduction Of duty
on steel rails.
A bill providing for celebrating the
hundredth~ anniversary Of the recognition
Of American independence by q national
exhibition at New York in 1883 was
placed on the calendar.
Gordon gave notice that tomorrow he
would move that the doors be closed and
the Senate proceed to consider the mo.
ton Of Davis to reconsider the vote
appointing Q special committee on the
i~nter.oceanic canal.
Salisbury stated that during the recent
Investigations before the Committee on
Privileges aud Elections the question
arose to as what extent kilograms could
properly DO used In evidence, and the
committee had instructed him to report
the following:

the great power Of the corporations, one
Of which. like the yo'nus octopus.
stretched its monstrous tentacles into
eleven States, controlled 600o miles OF

were second to the government itself.
Congress could not disturb these para.
sites on the body polite. but It ought to
deprive them Of extraordinary privileges,
As this bill oontemplates, and which
they had in contravention TO the Con.
stitution. He criticised the courts de-
cision. which regarded . corporation a.
