IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRlBUNE'l
WASHINGTON Mar. 2.-It now seems probaDle
that the nomination of Stanley Matthews to the
Supreme Court bench will not be reported either

There is said to be majority of one in the commit

Senate it is believed, would vote for confirmation
1t has been urged by some Of Mr.. Matthe"ss
friends that under these circumstances, the senate
should by formal resolution, instruct its commlV
tee to report the nomination back for action IN
which case the adverse report OF the committee
would be reversed by the Senate. One OF the aDeSt
and most earnest of Judge Matthewss supporters
in the Senate said to-day that this course ought not
to be adopted, inasmuch a confirmation secured
in that manner would have the tant of irregularlty

Gently TO Richard soutngate Of Saratoga The lease
executed by the president and secretary OF the Long
Beach Company, guaranteed TO supply all necessary
railroad trains as provided for by the contract between
the Long Beach Company and the Long Island Railroad
Company. There has been a rumor to the enect that
Austin Corbia as receiver Of the Long Island Railroad
Company would carry out the provisions OF the con-
tract This has been gaining ground OF late az
some prominent awyers have given their opinion
that Coonei Sharp receiver of the Long Island Rail
road Company, had not the power to make contracs
with Colonel Sharp president and sockholder OF ne
Long Beach Company. Mr. C0rbin, who started yester-
day for Europe was by TRIBUNE reporter as ne
was about to step on board the Gallia. ,..,
"There no truth whatever these reports" he said

EXPECTED REDUCTION OF LOCAL RATES.

A report was in circulation yesterday tnat
reduction was about to be made IN the HUDSON RIVER
Railroad local and commutaton passenger rates. BIT.
Meeker the general passenger agent said to TRIBUNE
reporter: am surprised at the report. as we actually
reduced rates on December By not returning to our
winter rates OF travel In May We put on sale package
tickets Of ten OF twenty IN bundle at rates between
commutaton and regular rates. This was great re-
dpction The report probably from the intention
of reducing rates on the Harlem Road am looking
over the tariff now with view TO reductien ana sna
probably announce q few days Our object Is 70
give people living along the Harlem Road chance to
20 as they please back and forth at cheaper rates ana
Tins 10 build up the road. The New.York CITY and
Northern Road has nothing to do with the matter, IS It
have proved very popular. and at Yonkers they use
them for change In the stores and beershops pacard

there was no such act in existence. of course
Speaker Randall promptly overruled this point OF
Order-as he did every other made by kepuol-
cans on any matter relating to the bill 1t SUD-
ject of general remark that the rulings OF Speaker
Randall and Mr. Blackburn when that gentleman
has acted as Speaker pro tenn since the beginning
of this session will afford some precedents that
would be very troublesome to the Democratic NIL
nOrity in the next House if O Republican sneaker
should be unfair enough to consent to consult anu
follow them. Of course the purpose OF the DEMO
Gratis in passing the necessary amendments 10 @ tne
Funding bill In the form of a supplementary plI
was to avoid the necessity of returning the 1orme5
measure to the Senate, which BODY they reared
would strangle it unless the fifth section shouio Do
expunged III t,o
facts the action of the Republicans IN allowing tne
of mystery. @ Democrats did not seek TO pene-
trate it, and wnon the House adjourned this alter
noon they exulted that they had won q great VIC
tory. Mr. Carlisle, indeed, took occasion to con-
graulate the House and the country on this result
There the very best reason for saying that aoout
noon tomorrow the Democratic members OF @ tne
House of Representatives will be less exutant aiter
having listened 70 the reading of veto message
which will be sent in at an early hour Inc nct,Gn ,
of the President on the so-caled Fundng OIL T Mn
be as prompt and satisfactory to the country as the
action of Congress has been dilatory ano
tory.
Ii ls probable that the House of Representatives
will vet have an opportunity before Friday noon TO
pass simple per cent Funding bill in the form M OF
a Senate amendment to the General Deficiency blu.
This amendment will substantially Gmbody the pro-
visions of the bill sent to the Presldentth evening
except that 1t will not contain the hfth sect,oh:

will promptly sign. If it should fail, as q great
