Hoiim Voted Against Funding tho
Paulflo Kallroad Doht,
Washington, Jan. 13. The Pacific
railroad funding bill went to its doom
in the house today under an adverse
majority of 00. The friends of the
measure, who had predicted its passago
up to the last moment, were 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
ernment would extend the indebtedness
at 8 per cent. It was defeated, 110 to
150.
The Harrison substitute, providing
for a committee to negotiate a settle
ment of the debt, was rejected by the
house by a vote of 65 to 214.
Many of the members were as much
opposed to tho substitutes as to the
Powers bill. The California and Mid
dle West members voted almost solidly
against them. When the vote came
on the main proiwsition, the whole
house swung into line, and crushed it
by a vote of 102 to 108. The vote was
not taken directly on the passage of the
bill, but upon the preliminary motion
to engross and read the bill a third
time. Bills which become the subject

tion of United States senator for two
