NICIPAI. BUILDING,
House Committee VIII Consider Bill
for Its Conjunction TOmOrrow.

The report that there was something do
ing" In the House committee on public
buildings and grounds caused that commit
tee room to undergo Il siege by anxious
representatives today. The committee was
engaged in framing an omnibus bill carry
ing additional appropriations for large
number of public buildings in cities
throughout the United States.
So every member who had a proposition
of this kind pending rushed around to the
committee room early in the day armed
with his little bill and with his big bundle
Of facts. figures and statistics backing up
the bill, in order to induce the committee
to include his plan in the omnibus measure.
The committee declared a state OF siege
Immediately. The doors were barricaded
and the anxious and impatient members
paced up and down the corridor, while one
OF their number was admitted at IA time
When the trembling supplicant was ush-
cred into the committee room he was COM
PEELED to face the stern and frowning fea-
lures of Chairman Dave Mercer and his
colleagues who commanded him to show
cause why he should be included in the bill
A delegation from Salt Lake City were
admitted. and given an opportunity to fight
over d building site controversy, with the
committee for umpire. and Assistant Sec
rotary Taylor of the Treasury Department
as a partisan. The Treasury Department
out.
When the committee went into executive
session the omnibus bill was completed and
ordered reported 20 the House. Its provi-
sions are published in another column.
Chairman MERGERS intention was to report
a municipal building bill for Washing on,
IL possible. and to act on the bill for
temple OF justice. These were not reached,
however, and the committee took a recess
until tomorrow at II o'clock. when these
and other bills will be called up.

EXTRA SESSION GOSSIP.
A Test of the Senate is Expected
Monday.

MOnOays
It is expected that on Monday the oppor-
tunity will be offered for test of the dis
position of the Senate toward the PROPOSE
ton Of friends of the shipping bill to press
that measure to the exclusion of everything,
including appropriation bills, until con-
cluded. 1t is said by opponents Of the ship
ping bill that the bill may be got through
If it Is determined to acrifice everything
else to It; but that If the appropriation bills,
the river and harbor bill, the. tax reduction
measure and other matters Of pressing i'm
portance are to be acted on it will be a
physical impoSsibNty to pass the shipping
bill. ~
Senator Allison today gave notice that he
would call up the District of Columbia APP
propria ton bill on Monday. If he adheres
to this determination it will give an op-
portunity for a test of the Senate. should
a ma jority be found in favor of giving the
right of way to the appropriation b1lls 1t
will materially inyi,re the prospects OF the
shipping bill. If the contrary course is
followed it will be regarded as rendering
an extra session of Congress inevitable
through failure of, action on some of the
appropriation bills. INDEPENDENTLY of the
Philippine and Cuban matters, which are
counted sufficient to warrant special
meeting of Congress-! So r
The opponents of the shipping bill insist
that they are not :flfbustering, and that
they 90 NOT contemplate niiouster' Out
that the fight they are making is accom-
plishing a modification of the measure. AL
ready, they say, the duration of the subsidy
provided by the bill has been reduced from
twenty years to fifteen years. and that a
further concession, to a limitation OF ten
years. Is In prospect.
1t is said that the tendency is decidedly
toward AL extra session, whatever turn
the contention takes, since a victory for
the shipping bill will be at the sacrifice of
other mea sures that would compel an ex-
ira session; and should the shipping bill
fail it's friends would desire an extra ses-
sion and contrive to have one.
Meanwhile the need of special session
to handle the Cuban and the Philippine
matters Is pressing. ,

OPENED TO COMPETITION
ROADS WILL NO
LONGER HAVE A MONOPOLY.
Will Be Favored In TranscOntinenta1
Transportation of Supplies,
but Not Exclusively.

After correspondence with the Secretay
of the Treasury. the Secretary Of War has
given instructions to open to general COM
petition the transportation of government
stores and supplies between the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts, business heretofore
exclusively confined to bond-aided rail-
roads. Heretofore the Central Pacific rail-
road has practically monopolized the trans
continental transportation business of the
government. The change in that policy Is
due mainly to representations made by the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fee Railroad
Company, which considered itself entitled
to reasonable share of the business.
Hereafter when bids for the work are the
same preference is to be given to the
bond-aided roads, but in all cases where
competing lines offer lower rates they are
to be given the contracts.
Secretary Gage in a letter to the Secre-
tary OF War expressed his Views on the
subject, in part, as follows:
Il consider the debt owed by the Central
Pacific railroad to the government to be at
present well secured, and II the interests
of the government as represented by the
War Department may be served thereby,
there is no important reason, so far as the
Treasury Department Is concerned, for not
awarding contracts for freight. ETC.. to lines
IN cOmpetlIlOn Will tue SSiitldi - 1SAhAS'
No Advantage in Higher Rates.
$50 long as we have the privilege Of ap-
plying the whole of the transportation
money over its bond-aided lines to the iiqui-
dation of this debt. everything else being
equal, it would appear that we ought to
patronize the Central Pacific; first. for the
sake of the advantage of having these
transportation charges applied upon the In
debtedness: and, second. to promote the
business of line In whose securities we
are interested to the extent OF many MIL
lions; but that 1t would be to the advantage
of the government to pay higher rates to
the Central Pacific than competing lines
will perform the service for 1t would be
difficult to show.
ain advertising or letting contracts for
the transportation of troops or material the
War Department may be comparatively IN
different, so far as the treasury or the in
terests of the government are concerned, to
the regulations which have heretofore been
in force providing for the transportation
Of freight and passengers over bond-aided
roads, If by disregarding such practice the
government interests would be served In
the direction of securing more favorable
terms Of TRANSFORMATION"

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. February Prices were
advanced to new high levels this morning
under mixed demand. In which manipula-
ton was something of a feature.
London sent over higher range OF prices
for most of the active issues. and foreign
houses were buyers throughout the day.
The trad ng element tried to make some
capital out of the fact that :he double holI-
day should force realizing on a large scale
and make a lower range OF prices toward
the end of the day.
There was a considerable volume Of
profit taking before noon. and fractional de-
clines prevailed during. that period. 1t was
soon apparent, however. that the various
cliques were willing to support their spe-
cislties and later in the day this support
gave way to an aggressive buying demand.
Atchison issues were in favor from the
beginning of the session and the buying Of
the common stock forced 1t we'll over 80
during the early afternoon. The stock had
a short interest which helped to make this
new record by a hurried covering move
ment. The preferred stock sold up sub
stantially also, but the dividend prospects
for the common gave 1t an advantage spec
uiatiVely.
hea!iz.ng in Southern Pacific forced a de-
cline from the best level many selling
orders being put a fraction under 30 in the
for the even amount. So great was the
volume Of such orders that per cent
reaction followed. The fact that Atchison
has gained its point In the matter OF secur-
ing competition for government business de-
tracted somewhat from Southern Pacific.
The activity in several low-priced stocks
was feature of the days market. Peoria
and Eastern stock crossed % and the in
come bonds 80 under a big demand. The
meeting to be held about the middle OF the
month may disclose an intention to make
a payment on these income bonds.
In addlti to the new prosperity of the
company there are rumors that the prop
erty may unite with larger one, Big Four
presumably. Chicago, Indianapolis and
Louisville moved up sharply and rumors
were again circulated relative to a prob
able change In ownership.
The entire control Is held by Mr.. Nor.
gan, and his recently disclosed intention of
making Southern the trunk line of the
south, as well the dominant influence in
that section. makes 1t exceedingly probable
that the first named road will be trans
ferred in due time.
Chicago and Great Western sold up to a
new level under a good demand and this
properly, too, was Immediately transferred
to the list of candidates for admission into
the new community Of ownership idea
The steel stocks were stronger and the
Industrial list generally came in for more
attention than at any time in several DAYS

Gallinger expressed The opinion that the

that under the present practice a pension

ed that the business was already large
- the committees cCu,d handle well. He
had no doubt 1t would be doubled in the
next Congress. This was due. he said to
the fact that pension attorneys are advis-
ing soldiers that it is easier to get pensions
through congressional action than through
the pension bureau, and he believed he
