POWERS BILL BEATEN.
House Voted Against Funding the
Pacific Railroad Debt.

Washington. Jan. l3.-The Pacific
railroad funding bill went TO its doom
in the house today under an adverse
majority OF sc. The friends OF the
measure. who had predicted its passage
up to the last moment, We're surprised
by the decisive character OF their de-
feat. They had been led TO hope from
the votes on the substitute that the bill
had more than an even chance OF pas
sage.
The Bell substitute provided that if
the Union Pacific and Central Pacific
would clear off the first mortgage and
advance the government lien. the gov
ernmen, would extend the Indebtedness
at per cent. 1t was defeated, ITO to
l56.
The Harrison substitute. providing
ior committee 10 negotiate a settle
ment OF the debt. was rejected by the
house by vote OF 50 10 PA.
Many OF the members were as much
opposed to the substitutes as TO the
Powers bill The California and Mid
die West members voted almost solidly
d-dlN>k l-tLll- W l4tAl t44C NONC N<t4l4C
on the main proposition. the whole
house swung into line. and crushed il
by vote of l02 10 les. The vote was
not taken directly on the passage OF the
bill. but upon the preliminary motion
TO engross and read the bill third
time. Bills which become the subject
OF such contests are usually brought TO
final test before the last parliament
AIRY stage is reached. The Reilly Pa
ciic funding bill was defeated in the
same manner on the same motion.
This was the fourth funding bill killed
in the house in ten years. An analysis
OF the vote today showed that eighty
six Republicans ana sixteen Democrats
voted for the bill and ninety-nine Re
publicans. fifty-eight Democrats, six
Populists and five Independents against
il.
After the bill was disposed OF the
army appropriation and several other
bills were passed.
