LITTLE OPPOSITION ITO
 THE ALASkAN RAILROAD.
Supporters of Project Expect Favor
 able Action Next Week.

Washington, Jan. 14. = Congress learned much of the resources of Alaska today, both houses devoting much of their time to debate on bills for a government railroad from the coast to the interior of the territory. With maps and pointer, Senator Walsh of Montana held the floor in the sen ate. supporting the Chamberlain bill, while Delegate Wickersham of Alaska championed in the house a similar measure introduced by himself.
 Supporters of the project thought tonight the bills would pass both houses without serious opposition, probably early next week. Some delay may be caused, however, by an amendment offered by Senator Norris to provide for a government-owned steamship line from Alaska to Pacific coast ports and to the Atlantic via the Panama canal. This proposal was not touched upon today.
