turned to Private Secretary Higgltis , standIng -

As the secretary stepped up the alslo to de
liver his message there was a general stir
nnd In their eagerness to catch the first in
timation of the expected veto of the Nowbor-
ry maximum rate bill every member rose to
his foot , the loungers in the lobby pressed
forward to the desk , and the few gallery
spectators made a rush for the front row.
Hoprescntatlvo Wlnto shouted for order.
The speaker In a pleading voice asked "tno
gentlemen to take their scuts and keep quiet , "

the top of bis desk.
When order was restored , Secretary IIIp-

of Watson , the clerk was directed to read it.
At itsconcluslon the speaker made ono of
his characteristic announcements , stating
that the nouso would vote to pass the bill
"over the govornor's vtoo to the contrary
notwithstanding. "
Watson objected to the form of the an
nouncement and volunteered to glvo the
proper otfo. While ho was writing It out
Moan made a motion to pass the bill over the
veto , and the speaker was busy protesting
his ij-noraneo of customary forms and rap-
pltif * for order.
Watson sent up the following form for the
s pee leer : "Will the house on reconsideration
agree to pass the bill ! "
Tbo clerk then proceeded to call the roll ,

a tally sheet.
Moan's motion was Ignored. The speaker
announced the vote as 75 nyos to 17 nays , and
declared tbo bill "passed ovcrtho governor's

This Eldorlsm provoked a burst of laughter -

LIXCOLX , Neb. , April 3. [ Special Telegram -
gram to Tin : BEE. ] Governor Boyd's vote
message accompanying the bill was as fol
lows :
Gentlemen of the House of Representa
tives : I hero with return without my ap
proval bouso roll No. 13 , entitled "An act to
regulate railroads , to classify freights , to llx
reasonable maximum rates to bo charged for
the transportation of freight upon each of the
railroads in the state of Nebraska , " for the
following reasons :
The rate in this bill is supposed to bo
based on the Iowa rates. In Iowa the rates
are tlxcd by a commission , and are changed
from time to time a circumstances and tha
course of trade seem to require. In that
state the various roads are classified so that
the rates nro higher on this weaker roads and
lower on the stronger ones , which have a
greater volume of business.
The Justice of such a classification Is
apparent. It is evident that the road doing
a largo business can afford to carry freight
at n less rate than ono which has but llttlo
trafllc. This bill places the same Iowa rate
on all roads In the state without regard to
the volume of business carried , and tbo rate
llxed by the bill Is based upon the lowest
classllicatlon in Iowa. The jatter state has
double the acreage under 'cultivation ' ana
almost twice the population of Nebraska ,
with only about two-thirds its oxtout of ter
ritory.
The volume of freight transported by the
railroads In Iowa is moro than four times as
great as that transported by the railroads of
Nebraska. It Is manifest Injustice to apply
to the Nebraska roads the lowest rates in
force in Iowa. The tonnage this year in the
stnto of Nebraska is less thun the year previ
ous by over forty ( -10) ) per cent. This bill re
duces the rate , on un average , nearly fifty
( "XI ) per cent which , taken together with the
reduction In tonnage , would , tn my Judgment ,
bankrupt every road In the stato.
I have received letters and petitions from
all sections of the state and from men of oil
classes nnd conditions , and I find that those
who represent nnd control the commercial ,
manufacturing , linnncinl and industrial in
terests of tbo state , and those of all classes
who have given tbo question close study , nro
nearly unanimous in opposition to this bill ;
nnd , I believe , should it bacomo a law it
would bo inimical to all these intorosts. It
would prevent caultal from coming into the
state , not only for the construction of rail
roads that are needed , but for many other en
terprises.
There are some provisions in the bill that I
admit would bo of tcnelit to tbo farmer ; for
Instance , the rate on llvo stock In the eastern
part of tno state , and which 1 would gladly
sanction and approve.
With the exception of the Union Pacific
railway and two or three short lines of road
the entire railway system Is owned and con
trolled by corporations that have lines be
tween Nebraska and Chicago , and which ,
under the Interstate commerce law , could in
crease the through rate on lumber , salt , coal
nnd a few other commodities coming' into the
stnto and on grain and live stock nnd sotno
ether commodities going out of the state ;
and those are tbo articles In which the
farmer is most directly interested.
In my Judgment there Is not a mlle of rail-
load west of the sixth principal meridian ,
except the trunk lines , that Is paying its
running expenses today. The products of our
state In some form are almost entirely con
sumed In tbo cast nnd must bo carried upon
Interstate rates. These interstate rates
upon grain particularly nro but very llttlo
c'oovo ' the rates from Iowa points. These
rates will not bo reduced by th U proposed law ,
and may , nnd can , bo very materially ad
vanced by the railroad companies In self-do-
fenso nntl forself-presorvnllon ; in fact , they
could bo advanced more than twenty per
cent under this bill.
The railroads could , and no doubt would ,
rolst' the Interstate rate ou grain. This could
be ilono by abolishing tlio through rales and
applying to the state line rates the figures
provided in this bill. Ou the grain that
would be shipped out of Nebraska In one
season the railroads Ir this wny , under the
tariff , could Increoso their revenue over a
million dollars , all of which would coma out
of the agriculturist. Tbo loss to tbo railroads
would be on the thousands of ether articles
in which the farmer Is only indirectly Inter
ested. Our state to prosper and our farmers
to llvo must on these nut-bound shipments bo
placed as nearly ns possible on n parity with
Iowa. In tbls the railroads of late have done
well by us , mid it is not safe to force them to
retract by unfair pressure on our part.
From the best evidence to bo obtained It
would scorn that the prevailing impression
that the railroads of this state are making a
hlu'h rateof Interest ou watered stock , is a
mistake. It matters not what amounts are
outstanding In stocks nnd bonds If the rail
roads are not earning luterost thereon.Vtp -
Ini ; out all questions of stocks nnd bonds nnd
admitting , as wo must , that the railroads of
this state cannot , with their buildingsshops , ,

ment , be duplicated at this time for less than

IS'JO , It has been stated to moon good-au
thority , that upon several of the railroads

QUESTION OF STATES RIGHTS ,
The Now Orleans Affair Likely to Eeceivo

WASIIINOTOS , D. C. , April 3. )
The Italian mutter Is raising an Intorostlu. , ;
discussion over the old question of states'
rights. While authorities on constitutional
questions agree that Louisiana has the llrst
right to deal with criminal acts committed
within Its borders , they couple It with the
proviso that It Is the "duty" of the state to
exercise Its authority , and that in some
emergencies the federal Government is bound
by treaty to interfere. The opinion has been
advanced that tbo United States treaty ob
ligations with Italy wore so strong that the
federal authorities hero would bo authorized
to Instruct the United States marshal at Now
Orleans to arrest Parkinson , "WlckllfCo and
other leaders of the mob In case the local
grand Jury did not do Its "duty. "
Solicitor General Tuft was asked by your
corroscondcnt this afternoon as to the extent
of the government's ' rights. Ho Mild : "I do
not doubt the authority of congress under
the constitution to enact a law which will
permit federal authorities to exercise crimi
nal Jurisdiction within states whenever it is"
necessary to carry out tlio terms of n treaty.
Wo have no such law now , but wo ought to
have it. Strict advocates of states Hunts
will undoubtedly differ from mo , as their
contention is that the stnto Is supreme
within Its borders In nil mutters of crime.
Hut there must bo some means of enforcing
the federal government's obligations under a
treaty. If the federal government stipulates
by treaty to do n certain thing It Is my opin
ion that congress would have the constitu
tional rights for letting tlio government en
force the obligations. "
In this view of the case It is likely that the
next congress will bo asked to frame nlnw
permitting the federal government to Interfere -
fore In criminal matters in a state where it is
necessary to uphold the obllgatlonsof atrcaty.
Such a stop will undoubtedly raUo n hot con
test on the lloor of congress on tlio matter of
states rights. The south , which is so strongly
represented In tbo ranks of the majority of
tbo next house , would undoubtedly contend
for the strict old states rights doctrine.
In this connection the views of Justice
Hnrlau of tbo United States su
preme court , which were given In a
disuatch prior to the Fava incident , are now
In point. Justice Harlun said : "Tho power
exists with the local government to suppress
any broils or family quarrels wlthlu the
state , and It may say to the United States
government , 'keep your hands off.1 The
power to protect life , liberty and property
belongs to the government of Louisiana , and
the duty of the government is to protect not
only its own people and Its own citizens , but
everybody in Its midst. Tills power In the
first instance is to the local govern men t , but
as regards certain treaties and agreements
whicb have been entered into 1 do not care to
discuss. "
It will bo noted that while Justice Harlnn
upholds the doctrine of states rights , ho puts
in the proviso that it Is tbo "duty" of the
state to protect persons and property. Ho
Is , furthermore , careful In the concluding
sentence to say that tbo doctrine of status
rights as ho lavs it down docs not apply when
the matter of federal treaty is Involved.
Senator Morgan of Alabama , recognized as
ono of the leading constitutional authorities
of the senate foreign relations committee ,
says : "it every ntaio in iw laws or in tueir
administration should discriminate against
Italians because of their nationality congress
would Hud a cause to consider If tbo federal
courts could not give redress where Indem
nity would bo deserving , but in such a case
Italy would have nothing- do with the
question whether the United States would
nlther rebuke or attempt to punish tbo local
authorities , "
From this and other exorosslons 'which nro
current hero it Is evident tnat the lack of
federal authority to enforce upon a stnto the
obligations of a treaty will renew the discus
sion of states rights and eventually carry It
before congress.

ICffoftw to Enlist Indians In tlio Army
Very Discoursing- .
\VAHIIIXOTOX , April 3. News received at
tbo war department of the result of tne ef
forts being mndo by western army ofllccrs to
carry out the provisions of the army appro
priation bill authorizing the enlistment of
2,000 Indian recruits Is very discouraging.
The officers report that the Indians will not
enlist in the Infantry under any circum
stances , as they abhor walking. They will
not enlist tn the cavalry except as scouts , be
cause they do not care to bind themselves to
live years service , nor to bo subject to re
moval to distant parts of the country. Then ,
too. they want tbclr women with thorn ,
and tbo great majority of the bucks
nro physically untlt lor military service. It
is doubted whether a single Indian company
can bo recruited in the west. But tbo out
look In the south Is more bopeful. At Mount
"Vcrnon barracks , Ala. , where the Apaoho
Indians who led the Ueronlmo campaign are
placed , it Is said tbnt nil the Indians some
thlrty-ilvo or forty are about to enlist.
Theses Indians are said to bo progressing rap
idly in the path of civilization , and the almost
incredible fact Is reported that the renowned
warrior , Oeronlmo , who was for years the
terror of tbo west , Is now a prominent
teacher In the local Sunday school.

then ntovo to some part of thocmmtvy whew
hols not known so well. Ho thinks thuro 1 $

strangers than among acquaintances. Hut
Mr. Taylor Is a sensitive man wltlml and
don't want his former friends to think too
hardly nf him nftnr ho Is gone. Ho has nl-
ready paid for a ticket to Washington and
return and will get tbo ticket as soon as the
legislature is over. Hit paid for the tlckot on
March H. It happened In this way :

thcro and engage in some other business ,
Ho had unbosomed his plans to the lobby
ist and so it was agreed that bo was to tinvo
transportation to "Washington and return fo *
his vote against tlio bill. Hut Taylor wns aa
cowardly as ho wns venal and dared not vote
openly against a class of legislation which he )
had pledged hlmsolf to support. So ho llcil ,
much to the gr titlcatlon of the men who

Taylor has a Rood deal of low cunning .

appreciated the significance of thu fun *
cral symbol from the independent stand
