WASHINGTON, Dec 10.—The Canadian Pacific is represented in Washington by a well backed lobby, the members of which arrived last night. They are here with two missions. The first object is to bring such influence to bear as will defeat any attempt to put into effect the hostile legislation against the Canadian Pacific railroad suggested by President Harrison in his recent message to congress. The Canadian Pacific is exempt from the exactions of the interstate commerce law and is extremely anxious that its advantage be not endangered by adverse legislation. The lobby will also be used against any bill aimed at the prohibition or restriction of immigration. The indications are that the representatives of the Canadian railroad will not have leisure time on their hands.
