FINISH THE REVENUE BILL. Nebraska House In Committee of the Whole Reports Measure for Passage. Lincoln , March 19. The house con cluded consideration ol the revenue bill and adopted the report of the com mittee of the whole recommending it for passage. The bill , with Its amend ments , will bo engrossed for a third reading after the amendments have been printed and it is not probable that It will be back In the house for a third reading before next week. Desperate efforts were made to amend the bill so as to change thw provision relating to railroad taxation , but all In vain. The bill goes through with the Identical railroad taxation method provided by the Joint coin- mltte that framed the bill. FROM THE LEGISLATURE. Doingsof the Law Makers in Lincoln This Week. Lincoln , Mnroh 18 Special Corres pondence : The house spent the greater part of last week in the consideration of the revenue bill , several evening sessions being hold for that purpose. Great headway was madt and it is expected that the house will finish the considera tion of the bill tliis week and send it along to the senate. Some of the objections nrged against the new bill at the start-off wore that it would increase the taxes of farmers by taking the valuation in the winter when they had a largo amount of stock or grain on hand. This was changed by the house and the date of the assess ment will be the same as under the old law. Stock under six months of ago is expressly exempted from assessment. The proposition to make taxes a first lien on personal property from and after the first of April was changed , ho that the date is now the first of October. The principal contest in the consider ation of the bill , therefore , hung on the proposition advanced by the democratic platform , that railroads should bo as sessed on the basis of their stocks and bonds. The fnsionlsts were lined up on this question by their party whip , and some few republicans were also caught by the plausible argument. The debate on the question lasted two days , nnd on the final vote the fusion argument was defeated by a vote of 58 to 80 , the Douglas county members generally joining with the democrats. During the progress of the the dis cussion on this bill it developed that the largest railroad system in the stata would under the democratic experi ment bo assessed practically on a capi talization of $10,000 , its stocks and bonds having been all withdrawn by the Northern Security company , a non resident corporation. This and BOUIO other features showed that the demo- cratlo amendment was either foolish or purposely vicious. The leading fusion- iflts admitted that they were advocating it In order to furnish an issue for the coming campaign. The bill as finally amended in this section provides for ar riving at the valuation of railroads from every obtainable * Hourco , being moro stringent than the old law. An attempt was made during the week to liavo a sifting conunlttoo up- pointed Hi the IIouso , hut the move wan a tailnro. The utomborH decided that until the revenue hill was out of the way and a start wan made on the reg ular appropriation blllH , there was no need for the services of a sifting com mittee. It is oxpootod that the appro priation bills will bo taken up this week. There will bo an effort to dlspo-o of thorn and got them over to the Senate In time so as to avoid the haste and con fusion which lias always marred and homotimcH disgraced the closing hours of pimt sessions. The Senate has introduced ! ! 0J ! billw andthollouso-187. Of these 10 have pussod botli houses and boon Hignod by the governor. Ono bill has received the vote of the oxooutivo. Sifting committee of the Senate com prises Warner of Dakota , Wall of Slier- man , Day of Nuckollfl , Way of Platte , Hastings of Butler , O'Neill of Lan caster , Hall and Sanuders of Douglas. It will bo the duty of this committee to examine the bills on general file and de cide oaoh day which one shall como up for consideration. Ono of the bills "sifted" out by the Souato committee is H. II. I'M , provid ing for the depositing of county niouoy in banks on the payment of 2 per oout interest , and providing that the money bo deposited in banks ouesido the county where the county banks have pooled and refused to pay interest ' , as has often been the case heretofore. There is no question that this bill will roach the governor in a few dayH , and will result in the correction of the abuse of handling county funds. William J. Bryan is 43 Years Old. Lincoln , Nob. , March 10. Special to The News : The receipt of numerous letters nnd telegrams of congratulation cnuio today to remind the household of William J.

CANNOT RAISE MAINE , Cuban President Refuses Permission to Spain. Havana , March 10. Special to The News : President Palma and the mem bers of his cabinet have refused to ac cede to the request of Spain that that country bo permitted to raise the wreck of the Maine from Havana harbor to do- termluo the cause of the disaster. The Spanish government has persistently held to the belief that an examination of the wreck would disclose that It hid been blown up from inside and not by a torpedo as charged by the Americans.

Detroit , Mich. , March 10. Special to The News : Railroad officials are much interested in experiments that are being conducted on the Pero Marqnetto road nnd the Michigan Central In the nso of railroad ties made from Portland cement.
