Until ho : "II you do this , Now York , Chl- cngo nnd other largo cities will elect the president , nnd then the situation \vlll bo as bad. If not worse , than under our present system.

"A mnn In New York city tins xs much right to vote us u farmer of No- brnska , " I'losldcnt Powers declared this line of dis cussion out of order. A vote wns reached nnd the resolution adopted.

This WM a llrobrand thrown Into the camp. Mr. Crawford of Ohio took up the cudgel nnd said : "Tho Interstate law Is the best luw thnt we ever hnd upon the railroad ques tion , ana I nm opposed to tlnkciliiR with It , us now wo can ship our produce cither easter or west at the saino rate as other shippers. " Allen Hoot oppose Mr. Crawford , Ho siild : "It may work well In Ohio , but It does not In Nebraska. "Wo are subjected to out rages almost as great as before the law was passed. Before the passage of the law the roads openly stele from us , but now they ovndo thu law in some way , nnd they manage to down us at every turn. I now move to amend the resolution by striking out all ref erence to the interstate law. " An Iowa member opposed this , saying : "The Interstate law was passed In the inlcr- cstof the farmers , but the only trouble Is the railroads have got bold of the handle of the law. I admit the railroads nro making more money than before , but so are we. I formerly paid ? 50 for n car from my town to Chicago , but now the charges nro only ? 37. Whnt wo want Is to sco that ttio provisions of the law nro carried out.

As a substitute ho moved to strike out ttio whole resolution and endorse tbo silver bill. Allan Hoot said that before endorsing the silver bill ho wanted to see Joha Sherman's band. Hero , amid great confusion , a motion to lay the substitute on tlio tnblo prevailed. President Powers waxed warm and de manded order. "If tbo original resolution passes , " ro- mnrked a western delegate , "you will place nil of tbo money in the bands of the railroads nnd monopolists , as they now own most of tbo land , and by this law thev can borrow nionoy nt a lower rate than they cau buy bonds. " An Iowa delegate said : "Woshould have tbo same right to go to tlio treasury and bor row money as national bunks have. " A delegate who claimed ho knew , re- uinrkod : "This law would not help Ne braska and Dakota , as both of those states havobeon mortgaged beyond thollinlt. " An Ohio delegate said : "This Is the most fanatical scheme I over beard of. After you loan one the U ) nor capita what will you do with the balance ! " An Illinois man cnmo to the rcscuo and proposed the following na a substitute : Resolved , 'Flint the govoriiiiiont apportion llio surplus funds to tlio dllTurimt states and then loan mich state its Blmru at ; i per cent purnnniini ; the stale loan to the counties tbolr proportionate si i nro at S PIT cent pur u Mini m , and then the counties loan to the In dividuals : it 1 percent per annum , no mnn to nok'othito n loan In excels of } looo , and all loans to bo uuon real rstate security. In a sownd a dozen men wore on their feet clamoring for recognition. At last ono of them got the eye and oar of the president nnd moved the amendment lay on the table. It was curried. President Powers then rapped for order nndsnfd : , "Whatever wo do hero wo should do In a business like manner , nnd not become the laughing stock of the world. Wo nro sitting behind locked doors with guards nt every entrance , but I venture to say that nt this moment a BEE reporter is within the hearing of my voice , but whcro I cannot kay. In tlio morning his report of this moot ing will bo printed and sent broadcast over the world. I do not know 'how that paper manages to sccuro the reports of our meet ings , but It docs , and as it niw special nnd unknown facilities for securing the correct reports , I caution you all about touching lightly upon Important matters , " Tlio debate was continued for some time , when 1'rosldent Powers niruln spoke , nnd Bald ; " 1 kuva no time to listen to so many views upon the ilnanco question , and shall huvo to nsk that this mutter bo disposed of In sorno wny In order that wo may go oa with our business. " A motion that the whole question , includ ing the resolution , bo referred back to the committee prevailed. Itcnolvod , That under the present financial HVbU'iu thvhinall property owners pay morn than tliolr Just proportion of the tuxoi : tliul nil prtipvrtv should bo assessed nt Its actual vnluo loss thy amount for which U uiuy bi mortgaged , "Without any debate the resolution was adopted. Unsolved. That the producers of UiUcouti. try demand tbo pussugo of u law by whlcl they shall compute in the open markets 01 the world. "No free trade hero , " yelled a score of delegates gates , as they arose from their scats. A long debate followed. An Ohio man argued thnt by the passage o : such u law his wool would ha' brought InU direct competition with that from Australia Another delegate , urged that no luoniboi should be nfruld to po before- the people on tbi platform of frco trade and tariff. Continuing ho said : "Tho McKlnloy hill has pu u dani | > ci on the farmers who wan to dispose of their produce , nm now they must allow tbolr grain to rot because cause they cannot dispose of It in tbo mar koU , Tuts tariff question is a dangorou : thliift to touch , and wo want to bo curefu how wo handle It.

[ Special to TUB Dcu.j Senator Stevens and others working with him have finished the preparation of a jill iixtng i schcduln of maximum freight rates , and It Is roidy for introduction. They uavo had the advice of IrgtU counsel , and the bill has boon prepared with great care. There promises to be no moro important measure before the legislature. It is sure to provoke great deal of discussion , an d is likely to draw a strong railroad lobby to com pass its doteat. It is based ou the Iowa law , but the provisions about county attorneys and the exemptions from the action of this mcasuao nro radical departures from the Huwkoyo statute. The rules are said to range from 15 to 2u per cent higher than those fixed by the Iowa commission. The following abstract will give a fair under standing of this voluminous bill : Section 1 makes the bill apply to the trans portation of freight nnd p.issougors by rail roads , sleeping car companies , express com- p.inips , freight lines and ether common car- liers , excepting street railways. Section 1 ! prohibits every unjust and un reasonable charge as unlawful.

The latter culled for the same amount to bo raised by the sale of bonds , Watson moved that tbo qmount In the first bill bo raised to $200,000 , and the motion prevailed - vailed and the commltteo reported to that effect to the houso. Watson nlso moved that llio enacting clause of No , 81 ho slricken out. This is Howe's bill , and bo has been questioning the consti tutionality of No. T'.t.

Accordingly , when the com mittee rose it reported la favor of giving further consideration to No. 81 and gelling the opinion of O. P. Mason nnd others ns re gards the constitutionality of No. 7'J.
