tafnty of Its Passing.

Representative Powers of Vermont, chair
man of the Pacific railroads committee.
says he thinks the committee will agre.
On some sort Of a bill for the settlement of
the Pacific railroad debts. TIE general i'm
preston in Congress is that the outcome
will he u funding hill in the nature Of an
extension, something after the suggestions
the railroad people are making
Mr.. Powers says: II kave no idea what
sort of a bill will he reported, but the com
mittee will get on that soon, and some sort
OF measure will be reported, I think.
Whether anything can be passed through
the House at this session, l cannot pre-
dict. There Is such n wide difference of
opinion on the subject that it is hard 10
judge whether anything can pass"
A resolution looking toward joint action
of the House and Senate committees in the
preparation of Pacific railroad bill was
taken today by the former body. resoIu-
ton proposed by Mr.. Wright Of Massachu-
sets was adopted by the House Pacific
railroad committee, calling for the appoint
ment OF committee of five to review all
plans for the settlement of the Pacific
railroad debt presented to the COMMITTEES
and to recommend to the committee a bill,
and In their work to cooperate with the
Ser ate committee.
Chairman Powers appointed as the com.
mittee: Republicans. Powers CT Vermont,
Wright of Massachusetts,, Faris Of Indiana
democrats. Kyle of Mississippi, Sulzer OF
New York.
Much interest is being taken by the men,
hers from Iowa, Nebraska. Minnesota and
adjacent states in the effort to secure gov
ernment aid for the Sioux City branch, and
many petitions are coming to the commit
tee from those states.
Mr.. John c. Coombs of Boston, the rer-
resentative of the Sioux City Credit Com
mutation Company, was given a second
hearing by the House committee on Pacific
railroads today. He urged the committee
to incorporate in whatever plan 1T might
adopt a provision for the building of the
Sioux City branch, which was contemplated
in the original Pacific railroad acts For
this purpose he asked that 81, ,500O0O be set
aside from the sinking fund in the treasury
established by the Thurman act. Mr..
CoombS complained that the Central Pacific
and Union Pacific representatives DID NOT
stand by any one plan Of funding for a long
enough time to enable him to present a
proposition to the committee based or their
scheme.
Mr.. Coombs presented to the committee
the draft Of bill outlining his plan. II
provides for a road from Sioux City to the
main line Of the Union Pacific at or near
North Platte, Neb.; that bonds issued for
the road shall be secured by first mort
gage and shall be thirty year bonds at z
per cent. The road is to be entitled to free
exchange with the Union Pacific and any
successor of It,.
Representative Shafroth Of Colorado ex-
planned to the committee his plan for the
adjustment of the Pacific railroad debts by
foreclosure.

LOCAL MATTERS AT ANNAPOLIS.
Progress of the Baltimore. Chesa-
peake and Western Railway Bill.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 19.-At noon the
bill to incorporate the Baltimore. Chesa-
peake and Western railway came up on its
second reading as unfinished business. This
proposed road Is said to be backed by
Washington capitalists, and the bill, as in
troduced by Mr.. Markell of Frederick, con-
fers on the corporation extensive powers,
including the right of entry into Baltimore
ard to the lines of the District of Columbia
in Prince Georges county. The provisions
for subscriptions at the rate of $4,000 per
mile from the counties through which the
road will pass were stricken out, but all the
privileges as to termini and rights of way
in every section of the state were preserved
and the bill ordered engrossed for third
reading. The fight against it is hot. but it
will probably pass in some form, as the
members from the southern Maryland coun-
ties. including Speaker Mudd and other Sec
tions through which the road will pass are
energetically workins for it.
W. P. Lyons, DR.. H. J. Berkley and Victor
G. Bloede appe ared before the house COM
mittee on railroads today to protest against
a provision of the bill known as the boule-
ward bill to consolidate the electric rail-
way lines between Baltimore and Wash
ingtcn Tie clause they oppose provides
that upon consolidating, a stockholder of
any company consolidating with the Co
lumbia and Maryland railway voting
against said consolidation or declining to
assent to it shall be paid by the consolidat-
ed company the actual market value Of the
stock held by him of tie companies so con-
solidated, and If the parties interested
cannot agree as to the value of such stock
the same shall be submitted to arbitration,
one srbiter to be appointed by each party,
and the two SO appointed to choose third,
and the decision of the majority Of the
arbiters shall be final.
This provision, the opponents declared,
amounts to confscation Of private prop
erty.

Comment by Rev. w. y. Yates. A -.
Topic. Christ winning sssls
by His DEATH

SCRIPTURE RnApHe--Ichn =. Il; III. q,
Luke xiii. 83-S5
In whatever light we may view the
life and teachings of Jesus Christ n
still remains true that His death has
more profoundly affected the course Of
the worlds history than any other
event, not only in His life, but In the
lives also of all other men. His power
to lay down His life of Himself and the
impossibility of any one to take 1t from
Him are demonstrated by His resurrec-
tion. His devotion TO men is witnessed
by His voluntary death. Others have
died as martyrs to the truth. have gone
beroioally to death for devotion to prin-
ciple, but where has any other one died
as He died. with consciousness Of posses
sion of divine nature aud powerf 1t has
been well said that His death was 'the
grave of the old world and cradle of the
new"
Truly He more and more draws al
men unto Himself. The influence Of
other men has sometimes been great IN
life and almost Irresistible But In
their absence or after their death men
recover from the spell their genius has
woven. The Cznr Alexander of Russia
met Napoleon with feelings Of hostility.
They parted firm friends. Yet when
separated the power Of Napoleon was
insufficient to hold his new made friend
to performance of his promises. Jesus
possessed power over men during his
lifetime. But how infinitely greater
has been Els influence since his death
Lifted up be draws all men unto Him.
II he SO loved MS as TO lay down His life
for us, we ought also to love Him and
also to love one another. So men drop
their strife and hatred and their hate
fulness turns into tenderness and hxoth-
erly regard.
Most wonderful Of all, He wins mems
love and allegiance because Of His abid-
ing presence with them. His spirit Is
made manifest to them who are His
followers a. It 10 not given unte the
