of bonds to the university by way OF re-
endorsement for the land and in 1896 paid
the university $4,000 receiving a receipt.

Two Measures Considered BY the
House Committee.

House committee.
The House committee on railroads met
yesterday evening and indefinitely post
poned a bill making changes in the color
of signal lights at switches. The bill elimi-
mated the white lights from the system OF
signals The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers was urging that this bill be
passed. The committee also considered a
2-cent-fare bill and a measure requiring
railroad companies to furnish 5oo-miie
tickets for $40. The railroads were repre-
scented at the meeting and made strong
protest against these bills. They say that
should the 500-mileage bill be passed IL
would do away with the interchangeable
1,O00-mile ticket. They claim that under a
2-cent-fare law they would run fewer
trains and would probably have to lower
the wages of their employees They say
there is not enough railway patronage In
this part OF the country to warrant p
cent-fare law. They admit that IL might
be successfully enforced in the East. where
railway travel Is heavy. The committee is
divided I'm its opinion on these two bills
and there may be two reports on each bill
