' : : Washington, Feb. 8. The two re solutions offered last week by Mr. Allen of Nebraska. Populist, looking to the impending, or preventing, of the sale of the Union Pacific Railroad property; un der a judicial decree of foreclosure, were to day discussed at much length by Mr. Thurston of Nebraska, Kepabi cm. He argued in contradiction of Mr. Allen's contention, that the right of tne Attor ney General to appear for the G vern- ment in the foreclosure proceeamgs as absolutely beyond question. He also declared bit belief that the people ol the United States were; not. and never would be, ready to enter upon G -vern ment Ownership and ( operation of rait ' ways. He snowed that under tbe law. and under various decisions of the Sapreme Court, tbe lien of the Govern ment did not cover the (Jmaba Railroad bridge! and approaches and only applied to the portion of tbe Uoioo Pacific road on which subsidy bonds were1 issued; and be favored Strongly tbe acceptance of the offer of tbe syndicate to bid on an upset price of forty-five millions for the Government's Interest in the road (in cluding the company's sinking func) which: would net to the uovernment aoout twenty-nine minions, or some fif .y-seven per cent, of its claim against tbe company.

The speech was varied with roll calls to enforce tne pret ence of a quorum, and as it was apparent that Mr. Vilas "was talking sgaintt time," tbe friends of tbe bill made a rather feeble effort to "sit it out," but eventually yielded to the inevitable and agreed to an adjourement, which took p'ace at 5 20 o. m.
