WASHINGTON, June 5.-The house took
up the Pacific railroad extension bill
Mr.. Cultivate reviewed the status of the
relations between the Pacific companies
and the government, and called attention
to the fact that the Indebtedness to the
government was increasing at the rate of
over 81, 600, 600 annually, and that the
tim was rapidly drawing near when the
companies must be called upon to pay the
debt, and the question presented was
whether congress would permit the debt
to go on increasing until the time of its
maturity, and risk the possibility of the
companies being able to meet their obliga-
tons at hat tine. He then proceeded
to take up seriatim the sections of the bill
to explain their provisions and to point
out the advantages which would accede to
the government by their enactment into
law.
Mr.. Holman opposed the bill and quo
ted from the report of the commissioner
of railroads, to the effect that the net an
nual earnings ofthe Union Pacific railroad
were IS, 1873, 407, and of the Central Paci-
fc, $3.50, 81.
On motion OF Mr.. Holman, the amend
ment was adopted, increasing from 40 to
so per cent the amount of the net earn
ings required to be paid into the sinking
fund in case the companies refuse to ac-
cept the provisions of this act.
The previous question was then ordered
engrossiug and the third reading of
The bill, but the opponents of the measure
showing a disposition to fllibuster, and
ihus prevent a vote upon the bill itself,
Crisp yielded to the inevitable and
stated that he would endeavor to secure
/ vote on Tuesday next.

Floods and Washouts.

DENVER, June 5.-The food in South
