Breeze In Che House OF Representatives.
WASHINGTON, February 5th.-In the House
to-day Randall asked Burrows OF Michigan
whether he meant to dispute his word. Bur.
rows declined to yield, when Randall said /:
This is the last place l would seek a per-
sonal controversy, bat want you to be a
mar, and if you want to insult me- do it in
some other place than here" Burrows had
misunderstood some remark of RRndali's, and
immediately said th5re was no correctness in
the statement, which led Randall to reply as
above. An understanding was soon reached,
but during this passage there was great con.
fusion in the House.

Progress OF the Southern Railroads.
New YORK, February 5sh.-The Tribune
has the following: The AtchsoD, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad Company has made
considerable progress with its projected con-
neetion through Sonora, Mexico, with Quay.
mas. Il is believed that the road will be
open through from Albuquerque some time
this year. The company acquired control of
the Sonora railroad year ago. At that
time about riuety miles Of the road had been
completed TO Hermosillo from Guaymss
Since then, large part OF the line has been
finished in tire direction of the northern
boundary of Mexico. There ia to be built a
liak of fifty miles northward from the frontier
to connection with the Southern acifc.
This line is to be used jointly by the Southern
Pacific and the Atchison roads fro III Albu-
querque.
The Atchison extends southwark to Dem
ing, on the Southern Pacific. From DemiDg
westward the connection with the Sonora
road, the Atchison Company has a trafTic
contract for the use of the Southern Pacific
for distance of about $50 miles. The cost
Of the Sonora line to Gusymas is estimated at
about six million dollars. The Geographic
report that the California Southern Railroad,
which is now built from San Diego to Cotton,
on the Southern Pacific proposes TO built
eastward 70 the Colorado river, does not re-
csive credence from well-infosmed railroad
officials. Ths California Southern isnot owned
BY the Atchison Company. 1t was built by
Boston capitalists, and its President, Thos.
Nickerson, was formerly President of Aschi-
son hut while there might be harmony be-
tween the two interests, the ownership Of the
California Southern is independent of tina
Atchisou.
The Atlantic and Pacific is now being built
westward from Albuquerque to the Needles,
a point on the Colorado river. where connec-
LlOn Will D6 IlAHS Will tuS aClllc,
now building eastward from Mohave, Cal
It il hoped to make the connection this
spring. Mohave is some distance shove Col.
| ton, SO the California Southern could secure q
| line TO the Atohison road WITHOUT building
any new road, provided il could arrange q
traffic contract for the use Of the Southern
Pacific from Cotton to the Colorado river by
way Of Mohave. A well known railroad
mar, connected with the Southwestern il.
terests, said yesterday that be thought Che
Southern Pacific people not obj ct to such AL
arrangement, and would net be disturbed by
the extension of the California Southern tt
the Colorado.
The report is not credited in railroad cis
cles here that the Atchison people propose tc
/ establish auy line OF steamers to the Chinese
sess from Guaymas or San Diego, or coas
line to Oregon. The Sonora road, il i
thought, is intended to benefit the Atchisor
road only by Mexican traffic.
