greSSiOnat Record, dated yesterday and dis
tributed this morning, contains an elaborate

discussion before the expiration of his Con-

the recent joint resolution of the Nevada
Legislature. 1t is illustrative of railroad
Determinations in that State, and prays for
the passage of the Reagan bill to prohibit
such determinations. Daggett's speech fills
ten pages of the Record and is supplemented
| with nearly as many pages more, In which are
given the complete freight officers OF the
Central Pacific Railroad, both for California
and Nevada. 1t is the most minute and at
the same time the most comprehensive and
forcible presentation of the matter COM

part of the country, and friends of the Rea-
gan bill hail it as a welcome and valuable
addition to their resources for renewing their
efforts in the next Congress.

Captain, was the severest experienced for
years. AT the crib the wind blew at the rate

was great danger that the portfolios would
become INSTRUCTED with ice and cut off the
city's water supply, but gang of men,
working with the water up to their waists,
have managed TO keep them clear. A gentle
man who arrived here from Clinton, Iowa,
said the train passed through some sections
of prairies where the little farm houses were
almost half submerged by water and that
miles of the road track were covered.
