CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-The Wagner Palace
Car Company won a temporary victory
over the Pullman Company to-day, in
decision by Judges Blodgett and Gresham,
in long-drawn-out vestibule case. In

Blodgett to-day refused this until a full
hearing can be had.

Sessions in November, 1887, involved the

THE RAILROAD AGREEMENT.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The Committee
en- Commerce ofthe House had announced
that it would to-day consider the resolu-
ton introduced some days ago by Ander-
son OF Kausas, directing the Interstate
Commerce Commission to inquire into
the agreement of the railroad Presidents
in the West. Anderson went before the
committee this morning and seemed
greatly surprised that the resolution
which had been referred to the committee
had not been heard from in an official
way. He ut once declared that ''some
railroad scoundrel had caused it to be
misplaced Soon after he introduced
another resolution of like character, and
it was referred TO the same committee.
He says he will see that it is not assaulted
en- route to the committee by the strong
railroad lobby which he says is in attend
ance. He went back to the committee
again and succeeded in getting q special
meeting for Friday to consider the reso-
luton, which directs the Interstate Com
merce Commission to ascertain the exact
conditions and provisions of the railroad
agreement, and report if there is any law
now that viii interfere with the organi-
Zation, and If not, what legislation would
be necessary to enable the people to pro-
tect themselves in court against the COM

said he was determined to get the resOlu-
ton passed and Investigation ordered.
At le:,st, he would get it through the

now arousing among the people west of
Chicago, he believed the Senate's serious
attention wouid soon be attracted TO it.

Railroad said: 'Oh, Anderson is rail-
road crank. He has tried many times TO
attack our railroads roughly, but the
