After the Inst Blgnnturo had been nfllexcl a

ono of the members rood the document nloud ,
JJoforo they couUl recover from the surprise
which BOtno of the all potions la the answer
occasioned Scimtor Shumwuy rose and snldi
"Sufllclcnt tlrao Imvlntfclnpsed In which to
onnhlo us to produce the missing scnntor
( Tnylor ) , nnd bolIovltiR that ho cnntiot bo
found ntul doci not Intend to return. I now
move you Hint further prot'ccdlriRs under call
Of the homo bo dispensed with. "
There Ivas n ( jrcnt deal of excitement nnd
tiolso in Ilio chamber anil the president found
HotDodlfllrulty In catching tlio motion , In-
decilf thu fact that the senator liml inndo n
motion was unknown to n number of the
members , They wcro first Informed of It by
the repetition of the words by the president ,
The opposition members looluvl ono another
In tho-fnco with surprise , nml to see if they
were BUfllcicntly numcrods to object to the
motion. The president then called tbosa who
objected to dispensing with the call to rise.
Immediately , Senators Mattel of Otoo ;
Thomostof Cnss ; ChristnlTorson of Douglas
nnd Collins of OURO rose up , shouting "I
object. "
'I'd enforce the rule , flvo senators were required -
quired nnd but four had responded. The
ctinlrn nln asked those objecting to rise , but
HO more left their seats.
"r'our senators having objected , " said the
chair , "tho mnnbur being less than required
by the rule , the objection Is not sustained. "
The motion of Senator Shuimvny was put
to the homo nnd prevailed , without n Ala-
sontliiR vote. Senator Smtrlcr VHM out of
lila place nnd returned to his sent wliilo the
vote was being taken.
On motion the reading of tlio Nowborry
. bill won then continued. The senators who
had changed their minds regarding the
maintenance of the dcadlocit were Drown of
Washington , Kgglcston and Alooro of Lan
caster , Schrnm of Butler , Shumwny of
PIxon , Slnrbuck of Tlmyor , Van Ilouscn of
Cclfnx , Wilson of Dawea anil Woods of
Pawnee.
Before the readineof the bill could bo re
sumed Senator ChrlstoITorson wanted to
Know how his collcanuo [ Swltzler | could
nupport the answer of the Independents ,
whlh BO grossly insulted the members of the
opposition.
The chair slated tbat the gentleman ro-
Terreil to would ho nllowcil to muko n , reply.
The objectionable p.issages are those re
ferring to the opposition as tools of the rail
roads. In view of the fact that the answer
had not been rcitil in thoscnatoand was not
therefore before the body , Senator Swltzlcr
declined totakouptho tnnooftho body In n
reply. Ho stated , however , in private that
ho had not road ttieunswer before the vote
disposing of tlio deadlock had been taken.
The I'cndliJt ? of the Nowborrv bill was then
resumed. "During the reading the Inde
pendents talked over their success and their
features wcro wreathed In smiles. The men
who had abandoned the deadlock worn
gloomy nnd those who hud voted to maintain
wcro sullen and defiant. The gallery rapidly
llllcd with partisan spectators nnd the lo by
became thronged with excited and jubilnnt
jnembers of the bouse.
The last line of tlio voluminous bill having
boon rent ) , the choir repeated the formal
proclamation of the bill having been read on
three separate days , etc. , nnd announced that

LIXCOIA , Nob. , March 23. [ Special to THE
HUE. ] Senator Shuinway I have fought
against this bill because I wanted one which
would bo of direct benefit to the fanners , by
reducing all freight rates on car-load lots of
farm produce , live stock and coal , which
this bill in nil cases does not afford. But wo
\ failed to get the Mil wo wanted. Now wo
hnvo this Issue to moot. I object to many of
the measures , but under protest have taken
the stand that I have nnd vote yes.
Senator Collins Having failed to secure
nn amendment to the bill now ut > on its llnal
passage , providing for a reduction of M per
cent In the freight rates M now charged , und
istabllshod upon carload lots of grain , cattle ,
hops , horses , sheep , lumber , coal , salt nnd
stone , tlieso being the principal commodities
In the reduction of freight rates on which the
farmers nro interested , and , believing this
bill , If enacted Into a law will , in direct viola
tion of the true spirit ot the independent
platform , raise Instead of lower the rates in
car load lots of said articles nnd increase
rather than decrease the burdens now rest
ing upon the nRricultural classes , more es
pecially tno farmers of Gage county , I cannot
therefore conscientiously vote for the passage
Of tha bill.
Soimtor Thomas I nm n , farmer. I have
been n resident of Nebraska for thirty-live
years. I have scon It grow as n territory and
develop ns a state. I look back to the time
when wo used every effort to induce the
railroads to extend their lines through Ne
braska. I look upon a corporation as a citi
zen. It is entitled to rights and .subject to
regulation. The railroads have been a great
bencllt to our smto. They hnvo rights that
should bo considered. I nm lu fnvor of lecis-
Intlon thntwlll give to the peoploof Nebraska
the best railroad service for the lowest
posstblo rato. I am not willing , however , to
vote for n bill which , In ray Judgment , would
tend to provout the people from receiving the
service they now do from the common car
riers of tbo state. The Slovens bill , which
originated In the senate , contains many things
of which I most heartily approve. The Now-
barry bill , in my Judgment , Is n measure
which , should It become a law , would be a
detriment to the entire business Interests of
NobrnsUn. I am opposed to the bill becauno
byitnono of my people nro bonollted anil
many of thorn nro injured. I am in favor of
a railroad commission elected bv the people.
I am opposed to maximum rate legislation ,
i , . Senutorllooro 1 nm opposed to the Now-
berry bill , bccaiibo I belicvo it to bo unrea
sonable , nnd that it will not bo sustained by
thu courts. fJL'Jioro arc , I am Informed , thro'o
classes of rates In Iowa , graded according to
the 6moiin ( of business of the dllTonmt roads.
f have been told by Air. Nowberry tbat this
Dill Unit exact copy of the lowest Iowa rato.
As" Iowa has the lowest local rates of any
state In the west , It can scarcely bo con-
toudcd ttiat the lowest rnto there would bo n
reasonable maximum rate hero. No Impar
tial court \vlll so decide. I hoped a com
promise measure could bo agreed on , vvhicl
would bo practical in its nature nnd would bo
upheld by the courts , and therefore f avorod
n cnjll.of thohouse ; but after It became per
fectly plain , by the rejection of our odors
after IOIIK mid patient trial for BOUIO moro
roasoimblo moaiure , thut the Independents
worq determined to pass this bill , rathorthan
endanger all other legislation , I concluded
to offer no further objection and to lot tbo In
dopiyulenU assume tuo responsibility of this
measure , I atn confident tha law will bo a
failure and belloyo the railroads would profe
its pimiigti 'to nny other measure , because
'the.tnrompre ; certain to defeat It than a rca
sou able bllL
Scimtor Swltzlcr-I favored the dead lool
to induce tbu independents to Join with us In
ff.XuihiB what WQ deemed a fair and constltu
tlonal ' bill. For the purpose of roiichtngsuch
n'n ngreomciit wo submitted a proposition
winch , in. my opinion , would have , if it had
beo.nncefpicd , resulted in such n bill. A
sooiuiii un-aimvor Avas icsolvod declining th
offer thu uses of the deadlock had been sub
berved nnd tboro was no longer auy legltl
mute reason for continuing It , and I there
fore favoreu nn immediate raising of th
samo. This In my position lu a nut shell. "
am opposed to Uio bill because I bollovo It t
bo Illegal In form , not founded upon souui
principles , und because it will not afford t
the people the relief widen n bill embodying
the prpposctt amendments would.
Senator Bahrain Tbo bill U not the bll
which I wanted. Nolthor Is It ibo ono which
wo-augppstoittotho liitlepoudcuts. Tucro i
a qUOstlon In my mind whether it will pas
the govflrnor. Hut the people in my dbtric
domunil it , and I shall thorefcio vote aye ,
This uhnouncorncnt called fortli chcora
which thq chair suppressed.
Senator Btnrbuck-1 will vote for the bll
became the people In my district demand
railroad loulslatlon : bat I do so under pro *
cit. I do not believe , however , that It will
> n a benefit to tha farmer * , whom. It is In-
ended to relievo. On the contrary. I feel
Imt It will tend to inruto tholr burdens nil
the heavier ,
Senntor Van Housen I hnvo worked nnd
voted for the amendment of the senator from
Douglas fS-vltzlcr | to the Now berry bill , because -
cause I felt that all the people were Inter
ested In having n good , reliable rnllro.iil
ncastire. llut the senate having failed to
amend the bill. I shall now vote for it ns it
stands.
Senator Chrlstofforson I refused to dh-
> cnso with further proceedings under the
rail of tha house , because 1 nm opiioscd to
the Newborn/ , and I thought that some
agreement could dually bo reached In the
adoption of a reasonable maximum freight
rnto bill , such as I bellovo a majority of the
people Interested li thin kind of legislation
icmand , nud which would stand the test of
udlcial Inquiry M to its constitutionality ,
nnd secondly I did not propose to bo llrst in
stilled and then whlppoti into line away from
ho position I bad once assumed , without
resistance. Therefore , I objected to dls-
> ciiso witti the further proceedings under
call of the house. 1 started out to have this
measure amended , if possible ; If not , to do-
fcat it , The bill Is unjust , because It doei
tot give relief to the parties intended to bo
rcliovcd. It la a matter of fact thut some of
tbo senators look ut > on mill-duels as highway
robbers , but in this bill is a section which
sanctions the robbery. They exempt any
low line built , for two years , from the pro
visions of this act. In other words , If n rall-
reid builds In a direction which had no rall-
oad before , ttio unfortunates who patronize
tnuiy bo charged as much ns the company
> leases.

LINCOLN , Nob. , March 23. ( Special to Tun
BRB. I The rejoicing of the Independents
over the passage of the Nowberry bill was
K'pt up in the Llndcll hotel until a late hour
onight. The members who had. voted for
the bill felt that they had achieved a great
victory nnd seemed to pay little attention to
admonitions of l : ss excitable legislators , who
icld that the bill would never stand Judicial
nqulry.
There Is no certr.luty that the measure will
bo signed by tbo governor , llesldcs being
defective in a number of ways , It has been
cad but once in full before the sonato. This
s considered a senous constitutional defect ,
ind will bo ono of the arguments used by
ho railroads when they scolc to have the
matter contested lu the courts.
In the Lincoln hotel the passage of the bill
vas the all-absorbing topic of conversation
.nd occupied the attention of many of the
democratic nnu republican senators.

Dcrtrand nnd Hreon raised the point of
order that the bill had not been reported by

owcd.
