N"t n B,isht Prospect for the Tex.
A>-racinc, HTrHe.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-The mo-
tion submitted by Senator Mat
thews to-day to make the Texas
Pacific bill the special order for
specified day next December, was
the result of u deliberate consulta-
ton among the friends and promo.
ters of the bill in and out of Con.
gress. 1t shows, of course, that
they have found themselves too
weak to carry the measure through
the Senate and involves also the
of further efforts this
session in the House of Representa-
tives. Their prospects for success
during the short session of next
Winter are not generally believed
to be very considerable. Matthews
his motion merely to af-
ford johnson an opportunity to
make speech on this subject. 1t
will then be renewed, hut, before
1t will probably be
so as TO provide simply
for the postponement of the bill
without any assignment rs u
special order.
