Doings in the House. LiNcorLy, Neb., Fel Special Telegram 1o the BeE. |—The house received reports of committees upon a number of bills this morning, and made probably final disposi- tion of several by indefinite postponement. The Watson railroad bill,an adaptation of the inter-state commerce bill, was subjected to considerable friendly and adverse discussion, but was finally placed on the general tile. Mr. Raymond’s bill, making it eompulsory for railroads to sell 1,000-mile tickets to commer- cial travelers for £25, was brought in by the committee with a recommendation that it be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Raymoud made such a valiant fight for this bill that it was tinally placed on the general file. The bill simply reserves to commercial travelers theif asually granted privilece of obtaining or 1,000-mile tickets at reduced rates. The committee on the railroad bill wnich occupied nearly all yesterday, had a some- what diflicult fime in obtaining its place as special order, under which it was entitled precedence. Upon Mr. Raymond’s amend- mient to section 11, that gentleman started off by making quite a clear and practical speech {from the mercantile portion of the commun- ity, but spoiled it by entering into a defense of railroad methods, and by saving that the railroads should bave their representatives hiere as they were owners of one seventh of the property of the state. He referred to Mr. Harlan's argument in favor of & maximum rate as buncombe, and said it was the talk of one who desired the ears of the people, who were misled. The maximum rate was danze! ous unless left to a comwmissionto make, His amendment struck that portion of the sec tion which restricted the power of the cowm- mission to wake such rates as they thoug] best. If his amendment prevailed he would support the bill; itit did” not, he cowd uot support it. Mr. Agee claimed the maximum rate on the first ten miles was lower than it was in 1lli- nois. but admitted that 100 miles was _consid- erably higoer. He contended tuat a bill containing amaximum rate would never pass, Will we pass a reasonable bill or will we bave nothing?’ he impressively asked. He had always ‘opposed a waximum rate, and be would at all times oppose it. He moved to strike out Mr. Harlan’s' substitute, section 11, adopted yesterday, and replace the original seetion 11, Mr. Harlan said the gentleman had shown new inspiration. He (Harlan) was anxious that the bill should succeed, but also anxious that it should succeed with as much good 1n it aspossible The gentleman from Lancaster (Raymond) said though special rates were building up Lincoln, Fremont, Hastings and other cities, it is the special rates we are after. They are given at the , ex- pense of the rtest of tha coun- lrfiu The gentlewan from Hamilton (Agee) said it a maximum was found it would be the lowest rate. A board who would fix a maximum rate as the reasonable rate would fix a higher rate if they were not restrictea by such a standard. The ability of the board under the constitution and the dis. Lo%jtion of the buara with the influences to e thrown atound thew, were two diferent things. Said Mr. Harlan: 1 care not whether 1 aw returned to this place or not. 1 am no politician, but 1 see the people must rise in thelr might and shake off the shackles of corporations or they will be in the condition of Ireland or India.

Smyth's amendment was lost—30 to 40, Mr. Azeée moved that section 8 as printed be adopted and called for the previous ques- tion. r. Smyth rose to a point of order, but was not sustained.
