land Bridge bill was laid belOrethe Senate,
and Mr.. Mcpherson resumed his speech
against the bill as reported, and in support
Of his amendment providing for tunnel
instead Of a bridge,
Mr., Frye favored the bridge and said
that OF course any bridge at the point in
dicsted would somewhat interfere with
the water route, but the great advantage
to the commerce OF the whole country,
especially OF the West by the building Of
the bridge would more than amply COM
pensste for the loss to commerce on the
water route,
Mr., Vest said the river men OF the
country seemed not to appreciate the great
change that had taken place in the trans.
poTtation business Of the country, The
struggle In the present case was intensi.
fed by the struggle between the Pennsy!.
yania and the Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad
companies. The Pennsylvania company
was anxious to keep the Baltimore & Ohio
out Of New York City, 1t was the old
story,
Mr., MCPHERSON remarked that II other
companies In the future wanted the same
privilege this would be taken to be pre-
cedent,
Mr., Vest said that was an argument
against building any bridge at all. Would
Mr.. MCPHERSON have no bridges built al

Mr.. Frye read a communication Just re.
ceiVed by him from Mr.. King, Second
Vice President Of tue Baltimore Il Ohio
Railroad Company, saying that the ques.
tion OF tunnel had been carefully con.
sidered by the company; that the examin.
alton showed that q tunnel was imprac.
ticable, as 1t would cost S5,O0O,OOO and
would require the sub grade TO be sixty.

involve an approach 500 feet long on

Maxwell had evinced no uneasiness aud
seemed unConCsrned whether or not his
having been shaved had changed his ap'

resulted In showing that the contrary had
been the case; that the prisoner looked
neryouSly around when any one entered
the room; that he was continually slip.

attention.
Samuel A. Hughes, ticket agent for the
San Francisco Railroad, was the next
witness. He identified the prisoner W
