ence OF the miners and operators of the Spring

Railroads Refunding Bill, Etc.

The House committee on Pacific railroads i:
having much trouble with the refunding bill
Al the meeting last week it had virtually de-
clded to report favorably the amended SEN
ate committee BILL but the whole subject
has been reopened by the chairman's refusal
at the meeting this morning to report the bill
to the House. He insisted that the two rail-
roads-the Union and the Central Pacific
be put on even terms SO far the
question of interest OH the debt is concerned.
maintaining that the Central was just as able
TO pay three per cent on the Union Pacific. in
stead of two per cent. the rate agreed to by the
committee. The majority of the COM
mlttee had already declined to accept
THIS view, and was lndIspused to reverse
Its action. but it was not regarded as expedient
to report the bill without the consent of Chair
man DdlZeIl. so final action upon the measure
was again postponed until the next meeting.

He VIII Not Retire From the National
Committee While Under Fire

There is much talk of an intent on on the
part OF Nlr. QUAY to retire from the chairman
ship OF the republican national committee.
HE committee meets here next Monday
and there is evidence of a hard tcht
TO dis!odge the shrewd PENNSYLVANIA
politician. Had there not been per-
soma! fight made upon him. Mr.. Quay woul 4
probably have withdrawn from the manage
ment Of the party affairs. but under the pres
ent circumstances It Is generally believed by
weL-lnformedrepub that he will have no
desire 20 retire, and they say he Will certainly
not be deposed
They also say that the fight is on against
quay. Clarkson and Dudley by dissatisfied
minority, who do not like their political
methods, and that the more ''mugwump'' and
democratic papers say about this combination
the hrmer the party will stand by them IL j.
NOT Thought likely that Quay would withdraw
