"The pretended authority OF the Texas Pa.
citic, for instance, to bridge the

gress, is incomplete and without warrant
under the Federal Constitution; that the
Texas Pacific Company has no right to con.
struct Its line aoross California; that the
Texas Pacific Company, at the time OIL
writing this letter, was not constructing
any road, but had suspended its conetruc-
tiop, and wac, instead, declaring before
Congress ito Inability to continue construc.

ment Of the Government upon It's fifty
