It Involves as tho al ternative of Its defeat tho probable im mediate foreclosure of the government's lieu and the salo of the property. It Is the culmination of the struggle whloh has gone on In congress for a dozen years to secure some sort of an adjust ment of tho Paoifie railroad Indebtedness on the basis of an extension, as It has been apparent for a long period that the roods would default when the bonds matured. The Interests at stake are glgantlo, and tho frlbnds of tho bill are straining ovory nerve. The opponents of the measure are also active, and the result is awaited with lutenso lntorost.
