Austin, Texas, February 4.-House COM
nIttee on internal improvements met this
afternoon to hear arguments regarding the
reduction in passenger fares. A. W. Hous-
ton OF San Antonio. attorney for the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass Railway COM
pany, said the courts of last resor, had de-
terrnined that railroads had right to live
and IT was on that line he would argue. he
said there is no profit to the roads at .
cents per mile He submitted figures to
show that the average passenger earnings
OF the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass Tor
1896 were 2A cents per mile for each pas
senger and the average earnings oil eacb
train per mile was only 6S.l2 cents.
Judge r. j. Freeman Of Dallas appeared
for the Texas and Pacific. His argument
was that the people had created railroad
commission to control the AFFAIRS OF rail-"
roads and he believed It devolved upon the
commission to handle passenger as wen as
freight rates. He went into lengthy ar
gument as to his point stating that the
commission would reduce the passenger
fare whenever It was known the roads could
submit to 1t.
r. 8. Loveft Of Houston appeared for the
Southern Pacific and Houston and Texai
Central railways. He stated that the rec.
ords OF the railroad commission, to which

this design by an Eastern monumental
company Is at present on exhibition here
4 number OF citizens are stirring up con-
siderable opposition TO the proposed n,onu-
ment on the ground that. as none OF tho
committee are artists, thcy are not quail
fed to compose design that will pass
muster with judges OF such matters; and
further, that the committees design Is un-
suited to tho site chosen on account of
its bulky character. which, II is claimed.
will entirely oblteratc the view Of the
entrance to the capitol grounds. Among
other numerous objections the opponents
also complain that the design is not in ac-
cord with the best Southern sentiments. but
| that Il expressed defeat and makes n bid
| for the pity OF postcrity THIS criticism
| is based on the fact tina, tho model for the
monument shows u fallen wounded soldier

cause, composed of a oneaiincd man aud a

might be appreciated. Tho opponents o
the design insist that such liberal displa,
OF crippled and dying humanity rather give
