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bonds having been all withdrawn by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.

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.
The refusal of the Cuban president to
permit the wreck to bo raised is evidence
that ho desires the incident to remain
closed.
NEW RAILROAD TIE.
Portland Cement to Substitue for
Wood.
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. The manufacturers claim for
their invention that the cement tie Is

an assurance of great reduction in the
first cost as well as that of maintenance.
Woodblocks of varying thicknesses
are shimmed between the tie and the
rail. Those act as a cushion to receive
and distribute the vibration and can
easily ho replaced without removing or
disturbing the tlo. Those blocks nro
chemically treated BO as to make then
indostruotlblo. They are hold to the
ceuiont ties by spikes driven into holes
in the couient filled with wooden plugs ,
these plugs being inserted before the
cement has sot and hardened.
