HOW THE MESSAGE WAS RECEIVED.
Special to the Gazette. = -.s5S
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-The report Of
the Pacific Railroad Commission, and the
message of the President herewith, dc
not seem to have produced IS much COM
ment in the Senate as in the House
Half dozen Senators, among
them several from the Paci8
coast, stated that they had not
yet read the message. The general
opinion about the Senate seems to be that
the President has not dealt too honorably
with the railroads, and some of the
Democrats feel disappointed thinking
that the President Oughtto have endorsed
l commissioner Pattlson's minority report
Representative Richardson of Tennessee,
who was 9 member of the Pacific
railroad committees OF the, last
Congress, also Of the present. says the
message accords with the action taken bv
the committee. AS rule the message
seems to meet with approval. IN an in
direct manner 1t was ascert.ined that the
Pacifl: Railroad interests are gratified
that the message was not more severe
These persons say that while Ii is not
as severe IS they feared, 1t misrepresent-
ed them snd does injustice.
