Trusting you will re de fro e remuin, Fespectiuliv, ote After the last signature had been affiexd o knotof senators one of the members read the document aloud. Before they could recovor from the surprise ch some of the aliogations in the answer 1ed Senator Shumway r onda said ufticient time havin, psed 10 which to enable us to produce the missing senator (Taylor), and believing that he cannot be found and does ot intend to turn, I now at f roceedings u of the house bo dispensed with There was a great deal of excitement and ise in the ehamber and the president found fculty in catching the motion. In- dead; the fact that the senator had made a motion was unknown to a number of the members, They were first informed of it by the repetition of the words by the president. The opposition members lookad one another in the face with sarprise, and to see if they were sufficiently numerous to object to the maotion. - The president then called those who objected to dispensing with the call to rise. mmediately, Seuators Mattes of Otoe; Thomas of Cass; Christofferson of Douglas and Collins of Gnge tose up, shouting **I object To enforce the rule, five senators wore quird and but four had responded. Th chair again asked those objecting to rise, but no more left their seats, “pour senators having objected,” said the chair, “the number being less than required by the rule, the objection is not sustained.’” “The motion of Senator Shumway was put 0 the house and prevailed, without a dis. senting vote. Senator Switzler was out of his place and returned to his seat while the vote was being taken, On motion tho reading of the Newberry bill was then continued. The senators who had chan 1 their minds regarding the maintenance of the deadlock were Brown of Washington, Eggleston and Mooro of Lan. castor, Schram of Butler, Shumway of Dixon, Starbuck of Thaye Van Housen of Colfax, Wilson of Dawes and Woods of Pawnee. Before the reading of the bill could be re. rumed Senator tofferson wanted to know how his [Switzler| could Bupport the an of the independents, whi:l 50 grossly insulted the members of the opposition The chair statea that the gentleman re- ferred to would be allowed to make a roply. The objectionable passages are those ro- forring to the opposition as tools of the rail- roads. In view of the fact that the answe had not been read in the senate and was not therefore before the body, Senator Switzler dechned 1o takeup the time of the body in a reply. Hestated, however, in private that he had not read the unswer before the vote disposingof the deadlock had been taken, reading of the Ne rry bill was then S ' During the reading the inde pendents talked over th cess and their features were wreathed in smiles. Tho men who doned the deadlock were gloomy and those who had voted to maintain were sullen and defiant. The gallery rapidly filled with partisan spectatorsand the lobby became thronged with excited and jubilant wembers of the house. The last line of the voluminous bill having been read, the chair repeated the formal proclamation of the bill having been read on hree separate days, ete., and announced that it was now on its passage The vote was as follows : Yeus Day, Dysart.

Liscory, Neb,, March 23.—|Special to T Bee)—Senator Shumway—I hayve fought agaiust this bill because I wanted one which would be of direct benefit to the farmers, by reducing all freight rates on car-load lots of farm produce, live stock and coal, which this bill in all cases does not afford, But we fuiled to get the bill wo wanted. Now we have this issuo to meet. 1 object to many of the measures, but under protest have taken the stand that I have and vote yes. Senator Collins—Having failed to secure an amendment to the bill now upon its final passuge, providing for a reduction of 25 per cent in the freight rates as now charged, and astablished upon car load lots of grain, cattle, hogs, horses, sheep, lumber, coal, salt and stone, these being the principal commodities in the reduction of freight rates on which the farmers are interestod, and, believing this bill, if enacted into & law wilk, in direct viola- tion of vthe true spirit of the independent platform, raise instead of lower the rates in car- lond lots of said articles and inerease ruthor than decreaso the burdens now rest- ing upon the agricultural classes, more es- pecially the farmers of Gage county, I cannot therefora conscientiously vote for the passage of the bill, Senator Thomas—I am a farmer. I have been a resident of Nebraska for thirty-five years. I have seen it grow as a territory and develop as a state. 1 {ook back to the time when we used overy offort to induce tho railronds to extend their lines through Ne- braska. 1 look upon a corporation as a citi- zen. It isentuled to rights and subject to rogulation. The railroads have been a groat Deneit to our state. They have rights that should be considered. T am in favor of legis- Iation thatwill give to the peopie of Nebraska the best railrad service for the lowest possiblo rate. Iam not willing, however, to vote for a bill which, in my judgment, would tend o provent the people from receiving the servico they now do from the common car- riers of the state. The Stevens bill, which originated in the senate, contains many things of whiclh T most heartly approve. - The Now: barry bill, in my judgment, is a measure which, should it become a_law, would be a detriment to the entire business intorests of Nebraska, I am opposed to the bill becausie by itnono of my people are bencfited and many of them are wjured. Iam in favor of a raflroad commission elected by the people. 1 am opposed to maximum rate legislation, Senator Moore—L am opposed to the New- berry bill, because I believe it to be unrea- sonabie, and that it will not bo sustained by the courts. There are, Iam informed, throo classes of rates in Towa, graded according to the amount of business of the differcnt roads. 1 have been told by Mr. Newborry that this bill is an exact copy of the lowest lowa rate. AS Towa lins the lowest local rates of any stato in the west, it can scarcely be con- tended tuat the lowest rate there would be a reasonablo maximum rate here. No impar- tial court will so decide. Ihoped a com- promise measure could be agrecd on, which would b practical in its nature and would bo upheld by the courts, and therefore favored a eall of the house; but after it _became per- fectiy plaiu, by. the rejection of our offers after long und patient trial for some more reasonablo measure, that the independonts wero dotermined to pass this bill, rather than eudanger ali other logisiation, ‘I concluded {0 offer no further objoction and to lot the in- dependents assume the responsibility of this measure, 1 am confident the law will be a failure and belioye the ruitrvads would prefer its passage to any other measure, because they ave'move cortain to defeat it than a rea- sonable bill. Senator Switzler—I favored the dead lock 0 induce the indepondents to join with us in framing what we deemed a fair and constitu- tlonat bill. ¥or the purpose of reaching such ah agreenent we submitted & proposition wirich, in. my opinion, would have, if it had been accepied, resnlted in such a bill. As 500008 anansWer was rcceived declining the offer the uses of the deadlock had boen sub- served and there was no longer any legiti- mute reason for contmuing it, and [ there- fore favored an immediate raising of tho same. ‘This is my position i a nut shell, [ am 0pposed to the bill because I believe it to be illegal in fora, xot founded upon sound rrlm'l]-lus, and because it will not afford to he people the relief which a bill embodyin g the proposed amendments would. Sonator Schram—The bill s ‘not the bill which I wanted. Neither is it the one which weosuggested to the fndependents. There is aquostion in my mind whether it will pass the governor. But the poople in my district demand it, and I shall therefcro vots aye. ‘This aunouncement called forth chicers, tho chalr suppressed. tor Starbuck—I will vote for the bill, o i 32 yout position, | red on the floor whilo | bocause the people fn my district demand railroad logfsiation: but T do o under pro- tost. 1 do not believe, however, that it witl bon benefit to the fatmers, whom it 1s in tonded to rolieve. On the contrary, T foel that it will tond to @ their burdens all the heavier, 8B or Vav Housen—T have worked and voted for the amendment of the senator from Donglas (S:vitzler] tothe Newberry bill, be cause | felt that all the people were inter estea in having a good, relisble railroad moasure. But the senate having falled to amend the bill, I shall now vote forit ns it stands, or Christofferson—I refused ‘o dis peuse with further proceedings under the call of the house, because 1 am opposed to the Nowberry bill, and [ thought that some agreement could finally bo reached in the adoption of & rensonable maximum freight rato bill, such as [ beliove a majority of the people interested in this lind of legisiation domand, and which would staad the testof judicial inquiry s to its constitutionality, and_secondly T did not propose to be first sulted and then whipped wnto line away from the position 1_hud once - assumed, without rosistance. Thereforo, 1 objected to dis- pense with the furthor proceedings under call of the house, 1 started outto have this measurs amended, it possible; if not, to do- feat it. Thobill is unjust, bocause it does not give relief to the parties intended to be relioved. Itis a matter of fact that somo of tho senators Look upon railoads as highway robbers, but i this bill is_a section which sanctions the robbery. They oxempt any new line built, for two years, from the pro- visions of this aet, In othor words, if a ra roud builds in a direction which had no rail- roud before, the unfortunates who patronize it may be charged as much as the company ploase: Independents itejoice Lixcons, Neb., Marcn 23— |Special to Tie Bre.|--The rejoicing of the independents over the passago of the Newberry bill was kept upin the Lindell hotel until & late hour tonight, Tho members who had voted fo tho bill felt that they had achioved a great victory and seemed to pay little attention to admonitions of 1nss excitable legislators, who held that the bill would never stand judicial inguiry. There is no certainty that the measore will be signed by the governor. Besides bemg defective in 4 number of ways, it tas been vead butonee in full beforo the senate. ‘This 18 considered a serious constitutio 1 defect, and will be one of the arguments used by tho railroads when they scek to have the matter contested i the courts. In the Lincoln lotel the passago of the bill was the all-absorbing topic of conversation and ocoupied the atfention of manyof tho democratic ana republican senators. The H Lixcowy, Neb., Ma [Special to Tur: Bee.]—Billson final reading were passed over on account of the absence of nearly all of the members of the Douglas county delo- ation and some others. The house then went into committee of the whole, with Sternsdorf? in the chair, to consider bills,on the geueral file. Shrader moved that house roll 432 tho bill introduced by providing for paying the fees of the attorney and other expenses in the contest cases be taken up. Bertrand and Breen raised the point of order that tho bill had not been reported by the sifting conmittee and ws notat the head of the file, aud to take it up out of theregular order would require a two-thirds vote, The chair sustained tho point and a long discus- ston, in which many members took part, fol- Kruse finally moved that all bills, giving thenumbers of each be taken up, Drogress reported on the same and permission asked to sit again. This motion was debated at longth, and without reaching a vote the committee arose and the house adjourncd till 2 p. m.
