THE RAILROADS.

The con 1itions of the railroads are as fol-
lows: The train on the Knights Landing
branch went out last evening as far as Wood
land, and was unable to go further by reason
of break not yet repaired between that
place and Knights Landing. No train has
yet been sent over the Northern road between
Woodland and Willows, as there are breaks
near Blocks Arbuckle, and Maxwell. If
there should be no further storm these will
be made all right again by Wednesday or
Thursday The road from here TO Vallejo
is clear, and the Reno train for San Fran
cisco went that way at $50 yesterday after
noon, and the night train for Reno also came
that way last evening. The Napa branch is
all repaired with the exception of about two
miles of track and the bridge at Napa. 1t is
expected the trains, however, will run to
Calistoga again by this evening. The Benz
cha branch is also again in order, except at
the sink mentioned yesterday. This is found
as the water recedes to be about $50 yards
long, but is still so much under water that its
repair has not yet been effected. By tonight,
however, it is believed the running of trains
over this line will be resumed. The Oregon
Division will be impossible still for at least
two or three days, on account of the serious
break in the bridge and track at Bear river
Two of the bents of the bridge are washed
entirely away, and much of the remainder
of the structure is out OF line. Also,
| about quarter of a mile of track
Immediately at this side is either gone or out
of line. Some portions of the track have been
carried down into adjoining fields. The other
damages upon this road are of much less
significance, and viii be repaired in day or
two, SO that as soon as the bridge and track
at Bear river are completed travel will be re-
sumed through to Redding. The nail yester-
day for Marysville was forwarded by steamer.
The Central Pacific main line east remain
all right and trains are regular; also on the
Western Division, between Sacramento and
San Francisco by way of Stockton, and also
the Placerville road Is clear. The overland
train from the East arrived ON time yesterday
morning, and is expected to do the same this
morning. It will probably go to San Fran
cisco from here by way of Stockton and
Antioch. The morning train from San Fran
cisco did not run yesterday, and the overland
Eastward came by way of Antioch and
Stockton. and arrived here at 3:30P. NJ. The
train from Reno arrived on time at $685. and

street, and yesterday afternoon was closed
up, wall of sand bags built np around the

the city drainage will be cast out over the

drainage handsomely. III it ceases to flow,
the Trustees will close it and rig pumps at
that point also At o'clock last evening the

at Y street, except such as came up the
drainage canal. The belief is general now
thst there will be no considerable amount of
water back up to that levee, but conjecture
on that point will soon be set at rest.

THE TARIFF.
Action of the Senate Committee on
Finance.

Action of the Senate Committee on
Finance.
WASHINGTON, Dec 20.
The Senate committee on finance by a ma
jority vote decided to recommend for passsg
without amendment the bill recently intro
duced by Senator Morrill, providing for the APP
pointment of commission to investigate the
question oil, the tariff and internal revenue laws
and decided to report adversely on the tariff
commission bill introduced by Senator Gar
land. The Morrill, bill will be reported to the
Senate after the holiday recess, but the Ger
land proposition will be reported adversely to
the Senate this afternoon.
The first named measure provides for the APP
pointment of nine commissioners from civil
life bv the President of the United States, sub
ject to confirmation by the Senate, and pre-
scribes their duties as follows: 1T shall be the
duty of said commission TO take into consdera-
ton and to thoroughly investigate all the va
rious questions relating to the agricultural
commercial, mercantile, manufacturing, min
ing and industrial interests gof the United
States, SO far as the same may be necessary to
the establishment of a judicious tariff or re
vision of the existing tariff and the existing
system of internal revenue laws upon a scale Of
justice to all interests; and for the purpose of
fully examining the matters which may come
before it, said commission, in the prosecution
of its inquiries is empowered to visit such diff
eIent portions and sections of the country as it
may deem advisable" The commissioners are
to report to Congress the results of their inves-
tigation and the testimony taken in the course
of the same, from time to time, and are requir-
ed to make their final report not later than the
first Monday in January, 1888.
The Garland bill proposes the creation of a
commission to consist of three Senators TO be
appointed by he Senate, three members of the
House of Representatives, to be named by the
Speaker, and three other persons not mem
bers of either House, to be selected by the six
Senators and Representatives. The bill pro-
vdes that these nine commissioners shall in
quire into the relative effects of the present
tariff upon the different industries Of the
country aud upon consumers and producers,
into the relative merits of the specific and ad
valorem systems, ascertain what improper dis
ordinations are now made, and, in short,
after reviewing the whole tariff system, re-
port to Congress Sat tha earliest day practical
BILE all such recommendations as they may
deem necessary or advisable"

A CURIOUS CASE.

Seizure of Pullman Cars In Canada.
BOSTON, Dec. 20 The Herald special from
Montpelier, VT, says the authorities of Cana
dasat Montreal Emade sweeping descent this
morning on the property of the Pullman Pal
ace Car Company. which happened to be in
that city at the time. Upward of thirty of its
most costly parlor and sleeping cars were at
tached, and the local office books, papers and
everything else in possession OF the company
were also seized. The attachments are made,
it is understood, to salty claim by the Do
minion government of 100000 which, it is
held, the department of customs has been de-
frauded out of by the Pullman company All
the parlor and sleeping cars in the Dominion
belong to the Pullman company, and those run
within Canadian limits exclusively have been
manufactured then. If they were manu-
featured in the United States, and brought
to Canada for service they we're subjected to
duty. Where the alleged fraud comes in, is in
sending Canadian built cars into the States in
the regular transaction of business, and hay
ing them thoroughly repaired in running gear
and furnished throughout, and then bringing
them back again for sci vice on Dominion rail-
roads. AS this description of work can be done
cheaper in the United States then in Canada,
and as the Dominion Government has not been
properly notified and paid for the importation
of the renovated cars, it is held that the Pull
man company has been guilty of smuggling.
1t is stated that an ex-Pulman conductor, re-
Gently discharged, furnished the information
to the authorities, and it is alleged his knowl-
edge of the system employed in defrauding the
Canadian custom house was SO thorough that
he has enabled the authorities to seize docu-
mentary and other proofs which are absolute
and conclusive.

WALL STREET.
The BATTLING nulls and Bears.


NEW YORK, Dec 2O.-Wall street reports
state that both bulls and bears claimed the vic
tory in the market yesterday. The bears
Claimed that the course of the market was IL
resistibly downward, and that while rallies
were TO be expected, every decline put prices
lower than before. The bulls claimed that the
offerings of stock yesterday were light and
that prices went up very much easier than
they went down. Some of the shrewdest OPP
orators believe that the gree bear clique was
disappointed in the course of the market yes
terday, and that some of its members surrepti-
tiously bought considerable stock for a turn. A
good many brokers admit that there was good
buying yesterday. Gould is reported as saying
that the market needed thorough wedding
and was likely to get it. A prominent member
OF the Gould party says the market will proba-
by react on Wednesday.
A broker, who has just made an extensive
tour in the West, says that the banks are all
short of money; that in st. Paul the demand
for money at 10 per cent. on wheat collateral is
greater than the supply, and that the prospect
for any considerable return OF money to New
York from the interior is decidedly slim.
Twenty Thousand shares of Denver were
bought here yesterday for foreign accounts.
The activity Of money yesterday afternoon is
expected to bring out large amount OF bonds

Stock deliveries were very slow yesterday.
New York Central loaned at 3 per cent. and
