Whll'i Senator Paddock was engaged In fookinifnvor hU miill tit the Murr.iy hotel yesterday , ho submitted to a brief Inter view by a reporter for THE Bnn. "What effect do you thlnK , senator , Governor Uoyd's veto of the Nowborry Dill Would have upon the politics ot the state ) " y-as uskvd. "I could not nnswnr such a question satis factorily , " said the senator , "for the reason that I nave not read the Nowtiorry bill. I nave been BO completely absorbed with work Jt Washington that It has been utterly 1m- tjosslolo for mo to glvo nny attention what ever to other matters. " ' What is your general Impression of the situation here with regard to the matter of railroad mtcsl" "I have had something of nn apprehension ihat a radical reduction of local rates , hy tvhlch 1 mean ratoi within the limits of the dtato , might operate against securing per- jnantmlly that reduction of the long haul rates which the intcr-stato commerce com- hilsslon ordered 501110 tlmo slnco after n thorough investigation , made In compliance -With the demand of the national sonuto throtigli n resolution which I had , myself , the donor of presenting , and which was adopted by unanimous voto. ' I know that in ordering that reduction ( bo Intcr-stato commerce commission took into account the entire railroad situation in the trans-Missouri country , ns tlio sumo was effected by local as well as the through rates. If the maximum local rates bad boi'ii ; )0 ) per cent or moro below what they tvero when tno commission investigated and tnado the order for n reduction for the long haul rates , my belief is that they would not have made that order nor refused ns they have done , persistently , to withdraw it. "As I understood It then , and as I under stand it now , they took Intonccoimt the whole Btato of the rates , local nnd long haul , und tnit Inir the sum or average of nil , their judg ment was that tbo rates thus ascertained With the reduction rroiiosed by them would bo reasonably remunerative to the railroads tmil reasonably fair to nil others. "I know nothing whatever of the so called Nowberry bill. I have never read , nt length , Its provisions. 1 know very little of it ex cepting us 1 have read newspaper comments respecting Its general character. From these I understand that a very deep out , Wtiich in'iy catisoa reduction of 40 per center or more of local rotes , is likely to eventuate , nnd the bill thus presented , if correct , lias caused the apprehension which I have felt , and which I now express , ns to a permanent reduction of the long haul rates. Without the low through rates to tno seaboard - board from our state , for which we" have been 61niggling , and which are absolutely neces sary to us to ouablo us to compete with the farmers ol the short haul states eastward , < ma which the intcr-stato commerce commis sion has been anxious to permanently cstab- llsh , nKi-iculturo In Nebraska cannot prosper. Thcrcforo , I hnvo bollcvcd that the wisest course for us to purs.no is ll'-st ' toperina- nontly secure the icductloii of the loin ? haul rates before undertaking by oxtreino lesisla- lion to tnako n deep cut In the local rates. 'Thero is no ijinn in this Htatevliois : nero Deeply intorostcd , pemonally , than myself in , l-oduuin the rates of transportation of the products of our agriculture to the scnbonrd. UCCIIUHO the interests that i have and I have pone elsewhere are of such a character as to bo directly affected by the success of the furmcn ; of our own stale. 'Therefore , on account of my personal in terests , us well as my dutyns n citizen , proud of the growth and development , of the Hlato for whoso upbuilding I Imvo labored to the extent of my ability for nearly thirty-ilvo .years , I am In favor of the most radical legislation ttiatis practluublolnthudlrectiunof minimum rates ; which means the greatest possible results for our agriculture attainable. "If I could bosatisticd that the so-called Nowlierry hill was this luiut of legl'lnllon I should lie for it with all my heart. I'orlmps Ib limy be. But these are troublous times , financially speaking , nml wo ought to bo sure \vo are right uoforo ivo attempt radical changes of any kind ntTccting the great busi ness interests of our state. "I novcr hi my Hfo have had stronger faltli as | to the great future of Nebraska than 1 have today.

Dispute Over tlio Amount of Stouo LHCI ! in Them. When the park commissioners mot yester day afternoon at 3 o'clock , the first matter they considered was the dispute that haa arisen between Contractor Brcnnan nnd the commission about the amount of stone used In building the dikes and bridges in Hauscom park. Urcnnan measures the worlc ono way and the superintendent measures it another. The dlfToronce amounts to quite a sum , and Mr , JJronnnn wants the matter decided , so ho can get what is coming to , him. Ho ottered to leave tlio matter to two practical engineers , or to nny ono member of the board of commissioners , provided ho will KO CH ro the services of a competent and disinter ested engineer who will mensuro the stone work done. Tno board selected Mr. Pratt ns acommttteo of ono to investigate the work nnd report to the board. A lawyer named Tipton appeared before the commissioners with u hill for SiOD , which he stated was duo his client , Mr. Maxon , former ! ) n member ot the llrm of architects , IlourgcoU & Mnxon. The attorney said that when thu linn dissolved partnership it hud furnished' plans for the Hnnscom park pavil- llon , and thnt there was F-'OO still duo. This account , ho said , had bcon assigned by Mr. Bourgeois to his client Mr. Maxon. It hap pened Hint the board had already paid the S-'OO to Mr. Bourgeois , and the commis sioners scorned to think that once was about thu fair thing lu the bill paying business , Mr. Dourgcols was present nnd explained that when ho nnd his former partner , Mr. Maxon , dissolved partnership they agreed that the ono who should secure the comple tion of the work on the Hansoom park pa- vlllion from tbo board should bo cn'tltlod to the amount unpaid at the tlmo of dissolu tion , lie had been retained by the commis sioners to .superintend the completion of Uio pnvilllon and ho had , of course , drawn the remaining &JOO , as ho did not consider that his former partner had any Just claim upon it. The commissioners informed tlio attorney that the bill had been paid once , and thnt would , in nil probability , bo about the end of tlio matter so far oa the board is concerned. Mr. White , who has the contract for build ing the bridges in Elmwood park , was al lowed nn estimate of ? 1,000 on his work , which is noarlng completion. The question of leasing the Hnnscom park pavlllion to a caterer was then discussed. Mr. UaUlnlT haa spoken to some members of the board and had told the secretary that ho would bo willing to glvo fciOO for the privi lege of selling refreshments in tha pavalllion duriiu > the summer mouths. Mr. Bourgeois , the architect , also desires to Icnso tlio pavlllion. Ho stated to the board that ho would pay ft'M for the exclu sive use of the pavlllion for serving refrebh- mcnts during the summer , Mr , Bourgeois seemed qulto anxious to secure the lease of the pavlUiou. hut Mr. Millard and Mr. Llnln- cor thought the matter should not bo hastily decided. Tlie leasing of the pavlUiou was re ferred to n committee consisting of Mr. Millard - lard , Ur. Miller ami Mr. Lluiugcr. The com mittee will Investigate the matter , and report a series of regulations und recommendations at n meeting of the board to bo held on April 10. 10.HllU HllU for current expenses , amounting to about 11SOO wcro allowed.

OMAHA'S ' AUGMENTED COURT , Plans Whereby the Now Judges Oan Bo Properly Accommodated. SOME OUTSIDE ROOMS MAY BE RENTED , No.lntlgn Will lie Sent to the Hnsc- incnl Hnlnrgliis * the Court House .Indies in the A proposition to buiidlo the now Judges In to the contracted little rooms in the court house docs not , meet with any dogrco of ap proval hy the couuty commissioners will bo opposed when it comes up for considera tion Saturday afternoon. Commissioner Timtno In talking upon the subject yesterday said ! " 1 see sotno lu natic has suggested that an equity court might bo put in the basement. In the room now occupied by the plumbing Inspector. Tins is all bosh. Wo would not go Into this room and wo would not lower the dignity of the court hy asking a Judge to KO down there. Again this room Is leased to the city , and I have my doubts about being nblo to got Mr. Dennis out If wo had the desire. "It is also suggested that wo give up our room , the man making the suggestion stating that wj occupy the room only ono day in the week. Tno man who stated that know * nothing about our business. Itlstruothat wo bold regular meetings only ono day In the week , but there Is scarcely a day that some committee does not occupy the room. "You can say thnt wo will not plvo up our quarters Just at present. "Somo other person has an Idea that wo might turn tno private room back of the largo court room Into an equity chamber. This tall : Is all nonsense. Clerk Mooros ii crowded to death , and to relieve him wo shall have to cut out the partition and enlarge - largo his ofllco hy giving hitu this room. "Of course ono of the Jury rooms might ho used for an equity chamber , but thou what would wo do for a Jury room. With the in crease of Judges there comes an Increase of Juries , so any person can see wo have no room to spare. "i'ho only way out of the dilemma , accord ing to my way of thinking , is to hire three court rooms outside of the county building. Wo nave got to do ttds , mid It might as well bo first ns last. "It is but a short tlmo until wo will have to enlarge the court house , and as soon as we can , 1 shall favor taking away the high hank and putting another story under the builu- Ing. Tills , with a sub-basement , would give us plcnt > of room and still Iccup ia tact the symmetry of the building. "Kogarding the finances , I do not think wo are in such terrible shape. It Is true that the general fund will run low , but there Is a largo surplus In the hospital fund that can bo transferred and Ubcd until the next levy Is available. "Taking oVcrthing into consideration , I scene no reason why wo should view the situation with alarm. " Ill the Illll'llCSH. There \ \ as a new Judge on the bench In the district court yesterday.

After several weary weeks ot alternate wrangling and inaction , the city council last evening passed the Ballou electric light ordi nance. It was a special meeting called for the pur pose of considering this ordinance , and fifteen councilmen were present , the absentees being Chaffoe , Madson aiiu.Coopor. The long delayed report of the committee to which It had been referred was at last forthcoming and was favorable to the ordi nance. Bochol wanted the report referred to a special committee of five and moved that no further action on it bo taken until a subse quent mealing. Moreartv wanted to know if it was a per sonal matter with the gentleman from the Fourth , and was Informed thnt it was not. Bochol brought up the matter of the Brush electric company's ' ordinance , and wanted tnom both referred to the special committee , hut the Idea wasn't ' popular. Elsasser thought that ono -or two amend ments should bo tacked on , but was in favor of passing the ordinance. Davis declared that the ordinance was too broad , and that the city was not properly protected. There was nothing in it provid ing that tlio city should have the use of con duits and poles , aud ho was opposed to it on general principles. Olseu Insisted that if the members of the company were responsible parties the ordi nance ought to go. lie wanted to incorporate an amendment that would insure cheaper llgnt , and was In favor of granting a fran chise to every company that would lower the price. Tuttle said the Brush company of Cleve land stood very high and ho wanted to sco both companies coma in together. Specht took n Brush roast off the coals , and unloaded it with much vehomonco. Ho declared that the Brush company of Cleveland - land didn't want any franchise and hadn't aslicd for one. The alleged Brush ordinance was inti-oduced by an employe of the Thom son-Houston company , and it was a trans- ti.ircnt sfihomo for killhiir the Ballou nnli. nance that anybody could see through. Osthoft was opposed to letting the matter go by that mooting , Mo wanted the ordmnnco amended so that it would bo Just and right und passed. Brunor said the man who Introduced the Brush ordinance had promised day after day to pivo up the names of the parties who were behind it hut had failed to do so. Ho de clared that the present rates forolectrio light were moro than twice what are charged In any other cities in the country , and at the sumo tiino the light is not more than half what it originally was , Lowry didn't , Know enough about the ordi nance to vote on It. Ho had boon there Snt- urday night , and wonted to know why the matter had not been brought np before , "It was because the chairman of the com mittee would not submit to It , " declared Osthoff. "Ho wouldn't ' even report on the gasoline lamp apportionment , to say nothing of electric lights. " Becucl pleaded priiilty to a pcrsotnl ac quaintance with the president ot the Brush company , and knew that they had a stock of Sy.OUO.OOO and were amply responsible. Ho I would like to know who was behind Ballou , I as the proposed expenditure of M0,000 wouldn't bo a drop In the bucket in the way ' of erecting poles , wires , otc. Divls objected that the ordinance didn't ' show whether the plant would benefit the city or not , or even what was to bo manu factured , Klsimcr said that the man who introduced the Brush ordinance told him that the Brudh company had nothing to do with it. Ho of fered an amendment providing that the Ballou company should stand ready at any time after Aprils.

Snccht insisted that competition was needed , as the Thomson-Houston , company would not furnish power unless their motors were used.

Ho wanted the lights tested , and said thnt If nn Instru ment for that purpose wouldn't pay for Itself in ono month ho would pay for it him self. self.Olson , offered another amendment , provid ing that the city should have the free use of all poles and conduits. Moroarty arose to ventilate his outraged feelings , and resent nn Insult offered by Chafteo at the last { mooting. Chaffco had stated that ho would uiako the champions of the ordinance sick , and had Intimated that ho ( Morcarty ) had retained an ordinance from solllsh motives. These were alleged to be financial motives , and his pride and his manhood constrained him to vote against the ordinance until his accuser was present ami should explain his grounds for making them. Ho had championed the ordinance from the beginning aud it grieved him to the heart's ' core to now bo compelled to vote against it. The previous question to rcfor to a special committee was moved by Dccuol. It was amended to have the dork engross the now amendments and report the ordinance for passage at the meeting. The amendment carried by a vote of 3 to 7. The ordinance was reported and then came the vote on the passage.

Mr. Ballou , who was present at the meet ing , expressed his satisfaction with the ordi nance as passed , aud said ho would begin work on the now plant in a very short timo. Elsassor asked him if ho proposed to sell out the franchise , and ho declare. ! that under the ordinance ho couldn't do it oven if ho do- sired. Waiting lor Witnesses.
