Washington, Fel. 23.- Members of the house commlttee on Pacific railways have practically decided to abandon thá attempt to bringf up in the house this session the bill for the establishment of a commission to settle the debts of the Pacific roads to the government. When application was made to the committee on rules for a day to consider the bill, the committee wanted assurances that the opponents of the plan in the senate would not make the action of the house, if it passed the bill, a waste of time by filibustering against the measure. No such assurances could be given, and there probably will be no more effort to brine up the bill.
