Mr. Whitmore amended to ept the report of the majority.

Tingle warmly ked the state- ments of Mr., Agee, nml showed that all the railroads would have to do, to set aside the commission, which ne suggested, would be to Ko into court and refer to the unconstitu- tionality of the same. Mr. Young called the chair's attention to the fact that Mr. Tingle had spoken beyond his time. Mr, Knox said that If Mr. Tingle would ex- amine the record he would see that six years 20 tie churges for carrying merchandisn on he rallroads in this country was greater than 1n Germany or England, but it he would look up the records at the present time he would find that the rms wem less than they are in (iermany and E ¥ Mr. Harlan sald that the house of lords of Nevpraska (the senate) had refused to concur in the uuon of the lower house in the pres- ent rallroad disscussion by indefinitely post- poning the law which the house had passed and wmeh the houu thought voiced the sen- timents of the people. He favored the bill eon!llnlnfi '.he maximum_clause, and yet it had been hmad that he did so for pol itical purposes. Who was it carred political power and wno was it col political favors? Was it not the penple? 1t cerulnly was the people, If he spoke for political favor, was it not therefore because in so doing he was I.nlkln' for the best interests of the people?

Now, what was there in it to justify the assertion that 1t was just what he péople of Nebraska wanted? It was an insult to the people to make such an asser- tion. He appealed to the house to vote down the amendment of the gentleman from Otoe, Either of the other bills would be preferavle, them send the bill with the maximum clause to the other house and let that body take the mnonslblllly for the defeat of the people.

Should he do so the names of all the commissioners will be made public to-day. Should he decline a further delay of several days way occur betore it will be known what the president's selection has been. Itis not believed that General Bragg will agree to serve. He has been troubled for some time with inflammation of the eyes and his friends do not think hiscon- dition will admit of active work for possibly several months.
