WHAT HIT TO HEARST Why the Bill Was Not
 Considered. Stewart and Hearst Desire
 to Be Heard. Have These Gentlemen Any Interest in the Salt River Valley that Will Be Injured by the Bondss

The Congressional Record of May 2t
 shows what disposition has been made
 at least temporarily, of the North and
 South railway bond bill.
 When Secretary Murphy returned
 home from Washington, it will be re.
 membered that he said that he expected
 that the bill would come up in regular
 order on the calender on the Saturday
 following his arrival here, although he
 was by no means certain about it.
 The bill did not come up. } Why it did not, is shown from the
 Record of the 25th ult., by the action of
 certain gentlemen who, it is we'll under
 stood in Washington, are affiliated to a greater or less extent with the Southern
 Pacific.
 The question was on the order of busi-
 ness and the record is as follows:
 MT HaleIThere are several bills on the cal. endar that am very much interested in myself, that might be reached today. Still am clear that it is my duty to press the consideration of the naval appropriation bill
 MT. Hale-My motion Is in order
