F0relgn ana UOmeSC1c. Washington, Jan. 5.-The subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Pacific K. Ks. will agree to Houghton's amendments to the Texas & Pacific aid bill requiring the con struction to proceed from both ends of the line and the building of B miles of road from San Diego eastward the first year and 50 miles each year thereafter. The attacks upon the proposed aid to the Texas & Pacific which have been made in New York and Chicago, in the interest of the Union and Central Pacific, have had the effect to con- centrate the southern members in behalf of Scotts proposition. There has, till lately, been lack of organization on the part of the friends of the measure. All of the southern Congressmen favor government assistance but hold diversity of views as to the plan proposed. Objections have been urged by some of the Texas and Louisiana members to the proposed Atlantic and Pacific combina- tion, which they think would divert too much of the traffic of the Trans-continental road to the North. It it is now believed, however, that there is satisfactory adjust ment of these conflicting interests and there is disposition on the part of the represen- tatives of the Southern States to make united and aggressive movement in behalf of the measure, as one of justice to the South. Stephens, of Georgia, it is said, will be pre- pared to make powerful argument for the bill in the House.
