AGAINST PACIFIC RAILROAD BILL The decisive vote In the house ngalnst the Puclllc lallroad refunding bill has changed the condition of affairs with lespect to that bill in the senate. It Is piobable that a meeting of the com mittee will be called at once or that an Infoimal confeience of the membeis w 111 be held to decide upon a plan of action. Under the piogiamme airanged by the steeling committee it was to be made the unfinished business after the vote on the Oklahoma fiee homestead bill which would hae been disposed of within a few days. The judgment of members of the Pa cific lailioads committee- of the senate is that It would be useless to consume the time of the senate in the discus sion of the measuie, and It appeals to be the deshe to either constiuct a dif fident measuie, meeting some of the objections lalsed In the house or let the senate bill go by default, FARMER OUTWITS A BOLD THIEF.
