 the Southern Pacific Road Appropria-
 ton.
 Washington. Aug. l6.-A number Of leaves of absence were granted to-day To members and the attendance upon the house showed the general depart ure of representatives from the city.
 A little routine business was trans acted, and then the conference report on the general deficiency appropriation bill was laid before the house. The item under discussion Is that appro- rr!ating $1 ,s00. 900 tosRay Judgment In favor of the Southern Pacific Railroad cu.lpany for transportation of troops, mails and merchandise for the United States. Two hours and half were ac- corded for discussion.
 The appropriation was advocated by Messrs. Boatner, dem. of Iowa, and Blair rep. of New Hampshire, and op- posed by Messrs. Snodgrass, dem. or Tennessee; Cooper, dem. of Indiana; Kyle, dem. of Missouri, and Outhwaite, dem. of Ohio. MT. Outhwaite was par ticularly vigorous in his criticism upon the methods of the railroad managers. He said that it was urged that the legal situation was such as to require the payment of the judgment. The fact was that the controllers of the to1 the funds of the corporation under their direction than all the thieves in all the penitentiaries in the United States to- gether. The Southern Pacific road had been built to divert through traffic from the Central Pacific, and thus rob the government of the proportion of the roads earnings from that source to which 1t was entitled. In the course of his remarks MT. Outhwaite was inter- rupted by MT. Reed who asked him how, conceding that the bulk of the Southern Pacific stock was held by stockholders of the Central he justified his refusal to pay this judgment and thus work an injustice to the other bulk, which is not owned by those persons.
 MT. Outhwaite-The stock was all originally held by those gentlemen. If they sold to innocent purchasers, then those purchasers must look to them.
 Mr. Reed-Now understand the gen tleman's point.
 . MT. Outhwaite-I am simply admit ting, for the purpose of argument, a declaration made on the other side, that there are other holders, but there Is no evidence to that fact. ,,,t
 MT. Reed-Is the gentleman not aware that there has been lively correspon- dence with English holders of this stock?
 MT. Outhwaite-I am not aware of that fact.
 MT. Reed-Showing plainly that there is a large interest held by entirely in nocent persons in England, not to speak of innocent holders in this country.
 MT. Outhwaite-I do not know that they are innocent in the sense of not having knowledge of the transactions which cover this whole matter with fraud. There are. I believe some Eng fish holders, but am not particularly anxious. just now to pay money out of the United States to be sent to the English.
 , MT. Reed-I think you are right after having just having passed the tariff bill which will put infinite money in their pockets.
 MT. Outhwaite-The question is whether this claim Is so free from taint that in the present situation of affairs in this country we should make haste to put money into the pockets of those men who by their transactions are un- der obligations to pay many times more than this amount back into the treas ury. Let us proceed to pass legislation which will enable us in the courts of the United States to get back that of which they have robbed the govern ment. No court can stay the hand of Justice or of equity in attempts to follow the moneys of the government into the possession of fraudulent holders there of. The men who are interested in re- ceiving this money from the treasury are the men who were guilty of the transactions by which the government was so badly robbed in years agone.
 The discussion was further continued in opposition to the amendment by Messrs. Reilly, dem., of Louisiana, Can non, dem., of California, Bryan, dem., of Nebraska, Black, dem., of Illinois, Ma guire, dem, of Illinois, and Savers, dem., of Texas, and in support of it by Messrs. Cumbersome, dem., of Texas, Hooker, rep, of New York, Gear, rep, of Iowa, and Cannon, rep, of Illinois.
 MT. Savers, dem., of Texas, chairman of the committee on appropriations, made the following statement regarding the appropriation bills for the major ity:
 The appropriations made at the pres ent and extra session, including the regular annual appropriations and per- manent annual appropriations, amount to $490,66s,269.
