The House Committee on Pacific
Railroads to-day further considered
the Senate Pacific railroad funding
bill, beginning with section 6, the
first section relating 10 the Central
Pacific. Although but this one sec
ton Of the bill was gone over this
morning, the result was substantial
in the way of progress toward a CON
sheraton Of the entire subject, rs
this section contains the principle
upon which the debt Will be adjust
ed. Considerable discussion at times
characterized the proceedings; those
members who had heretofore oppos-
ed the Central Pacific bill again
manifested indisposiiou 10 agree to
the provisions Of the Senate bill re-
lating to that railroad. a PROPOSE
ton was carried to change the phra-
seology of the section to conform to
the first section, relating to the Uu-

interest on the debt came up. The
section fixes that at per cent, and
a motion was made and defeated to
make this per cent, TO correspond

allowing a rebate Of per cent OF
the Interest (which is to lie capital

but his views on the tariff have pre-
vented him from being the leader
ofthe democratic party; If il had not
been for that he would have been
nominated for president in 1876,

would have been elected AMI seated,
for he would have asserted his rights.
But whatever he believed, or his
opinions We're, he would never
change them, no matter what would
happen Why, when our tariff bill
was up, pleaded with him, urged
and begged him to make some con-
eessiOn or compromise, but he be
lieved he was tight and could not
be moved. When all his party ex-
cept SOwden and one or two others
had come over, he still held out and
would not move. That was the
only thing on which we differed. 3"

ablest and puTest Of our statesmen.
He wasa natural leader Of men. No
man could have been a greater ore.

post, always firm and resOlute in
party contests, yet fair and courteous
TO his opponents. In the great con-
test Of 1876 no man can tell what
might have happened but for hi.

death to be a personal loss"
Representative Cannon said: 'Mr.
Randall was one Of the people; he
loved them and believed in them.
There are few men in public life
who more strongly affected legisla-
ton and public sentiment than he.
He was the best Of friends and the
best Of enemies"
Speaker Reed said: "AIy esteem
for him was very great. | always
had and expressed the highest ad-
miratiOn for his steadfastness and
courage. He was good friend, a
brave man and a statesman beyond

FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.

At 10 O'Clock tonight Wanamaker
said the funeral had been fixed for
Thursday morning. The arrange
ments will be in charge Of a Con-
gressional committee to be appointed
tomorrow. Mrs. Randall prefers
that the services be held in the Me-
trOpolitan Presbyterian Church, Of
which Randall was n member, and
not in the Hall Of Representatives.
After the ceremonies the funeral
party will take 4 special train 70
Philadelphia, where the interment
takes place in the Randall family
vault in Laurel Hill cemetery.
\ friend Of Mr.. Randall said this
evening: ''When he joined the
church. two months ago, Randall
had fully recovered from hispreviOus
illness. Had he lived. from what lie
had said, he wouli no doubt have Ia
ken a decided stand in church mat
tiers. His conversion was the result
of his having leisure time and il be-
ing thoroughly studied 10y him. He
became thoroughly convinced Of his
need Of religion, and after that, his
mind being at rest, he became hap
pier than he had been at any other
time. All the family noticed it,"

FEELING IN PHILADELPHIA,

PHILADELPHIA pr.l3.-The news
of the death of Randall was received
with sorrow by his many friends in
this city, although not at all uEeX-
pected. Flags were half-masted on
many prominent buildings.
Political gossip is rife and there
will likely be bitter struggle among
the Democratic leaders Of this city
for the control Of the convention
which will name Randall's success
or. The district is Democratic, but
the fight now in prospect may result
in the election Of a Republican.
The only avOwed candidate is State
Senator William McAley, who has
been fighting RanGall's friends all
his life. Half dozen candidates
will he i'm the field against him, how
ever, as soon as the funeral is over,
If not before.

Around the World in Thirty Eight DAYS.
1t is the intention of the Canadian Pacific
Hallway Company, as soon as one of their
new Pacific steamers is completed, which
will be about November next, to carry the
first Canadian excursion party around the
world. 1t is estimated that the round trip
will be made within sixty-fve days. With
fast Atlantic service the trip could be
made in ffty-three days. When the Trans
continental Siberian railway is in operation.
a still shorter time, thirty-eight DAYS, will
be required to travel round tho world. In
this case the route would be from London
10 Yokohama by the Canadian Pacific
steamers and railway. from Yokohama
across the Japan sea TO Vladyostock. and
from the latter place to London by rail and
channel steamer.
