Homo .Salient Ventures of the Measure In. troduccil Yesterday. Lixcoijf , Nob. , Jan. 24. [ Special Telegram to TUB BEB. ] Senator Clarke's railroad bill , introduced by him this morning , is likely to como in for a largo share of legis lative attention after the Senatorial question is disposed of. The bill is practically the same as the Iowa bill , which has been the admiration of anti-monopolists in all the western states. The bill fixes the same minimum rates that prevail at the present time iu Iowa and adopts the system of classification governing all systems west of the Mississippi river , with but two exceptions. Ono of these is in the rates and classification of binding twine , the rate fixed by Senator Clarke's bill being moro-favorablo to the Nebraska farmer. The distance tariff governing beet sugar ship ments is also modified to meet conditions ex isting in this state not found in Iowa. With these two exceptions the Clarke bill is the duplicate of the Iowa law as far as railroad rates are concerned. The rates are also the same as fixed in the Nowberry bill already introduced in the house. The Clarke bill differs from the Newberry bill , however , in several important particulars. The Newberry leaves out the rules governing the clussillca- tlon of freight , which are of as much Impor tance as the classification Itself. In the Newberry bill the railroad companies huvo recourse to the supreme court. In the Clarke bill all complaints made by the rail roads as to the unjustness of rates , etc. , must go to the State Board of Transporta tion and bo adjusted by that body before an appeal bo taken to the supreme court. The Clarke bill further provides that the rates fixed by the bill cannot bo raised except by unanimous vote of the State Board of Trans portation. Mimt Operate Joint Switches * Representative Sutcr has brought for ward a bill to compel all competing lines of railroad to construct and operate joint switch tracks at any city , town or village touched by two or more of them. The law as drawn by Mr. Suter provides that these transfer switches shall bo for the common use of all parties interested. Whenever a shipper of freight from any point in this state to another point in the state , over two ormoro lines of railroad to roach such point of destination , the railroad company at jioint of shipment shall mauo a through way bill to the point of destination , and the rate to bo charged for such shipment shall not bo the sum of two or moro locals , but shall bo the rate for the shortest mllcugo distance by any railroad from point of shipment to point of destination. No railroad company shall make any charges for transferring freight from its line to any other connecting Hue. It Is further provided that the cost of building transfer switches shall bo berne equally by the different roads which are so connected. The law also Includes suitable penalties for the violation of the act. Amending the Insnranco T.nw. Representative Uuggles has offered for the consideration of the house a bill to amend the Insurance laws of the state. It provides that no joint stock insurance company shall bo incorporated under the provisions of the laws of Nebraska with a .smaller capital than § 100,000 or moro than $1,000,000 , of which capital at least 50 per cent shall bo paid up In cash and besides the other 60 per cent there must bo in its possession notes of its stockholders secured by at least ono surety or by mortgage on unlncumbered real estate within the Btatu to an amount at least twice the value of the notes , the security to bo approved by the state auditor. Nor can any company on the plan of mutual Insurance commence bus iness in this state until agreements have been entered Into for insurance with at least 200. applicants , the premiums utxm which shall amount to less than $25.000 , for which notes of solvent parties , founded upon bona fide applications for insurance shall have l > een received ; nor shall any such note bo regarded as a part of the capital stock unless n policy bo Issued upon the sarao within thirty days after the organization of the company. Relating to Di'llclonry Judgment * . Two bills relating to aollclencj judgments have been introduced Ono by Mr. Sutcr provides that any person or corporation who shall take or receive a mortgage to secure the jiajment of mono } loaned shall not bo entitled to tiny deficiency judgment against the mortgagor in case o foreclosure when the real estate taken under the mortgage falls to satisfy it. The other bill was Introduced by Repre tentative Wood * , It provides that when a petition shall be filed for the satisfaction of a mortgage the court shall have the ixnvor to tlcwrec and conitcl | the delivery of the pos session of the premises to the purchaser , but shall have no jiowcr to direct the payment of any deficiency that may remain unsatisfied , but the amount realized from the sulo shall Iw In full satisfaction of the Indebtedness for which the mortgage was given. TII .Mlchlganl/o thn .Slate. The Michigan presidential law has boon embodied In a bill Introduced In the Ne braska legislature by Uepresentatlvo Van Houseu. The provisions of the act tire brief nnd simple. The law as prepared by Mr. Van Housen states that the nroflldontial electors shall bo elected by congressional districts instead of by the state at large , as at present. . Mint Deposit State I'tind . Representative Lynch 1ms offered an amendment to the law requiring state and county treasurers to deposit funds in their hands In state or national banks. The amendment provides that all moneys coming Into their bauds must be deposited In state or national banks of recognized stall-.Ing. The banks must pay for the use fl the moneys not less than ! l per cent per annum. .Mlrlldiif ; nt tun Coal Combiner , One of the bills that will doubtless come Infer for its full share of legislative uttt-ntion this session is that Introduced by Representative Gilford. It Is designed to prevent coal and lumber dealers fiMin combining to maintain the prices of these two Important com -no ddies. It prohibits co.il or lumber dealers from combining to fix prices or to divide between them the aggregate or not prolltu. The person or company entering Into any such combination or pool shall be liable to any person injured thereby to the full amount of damages sustained In consequence of tin1 violation of the law and in any case arising out of the act the courts shall have the power to compel the attend ance of members of the alleged combination and the production of the books and records. Heavy penalties are provided for the viola tion of Ihe law contemplated by the act. STOCK VAKI ) CIIAK < iiS , Comparison of Present Hates Mlth Those Proposed by the Legislature. House roll No. 75 , a bill for tin act to reg- date stock yards and fix commissions for selling live stock therein , and providing mtiishment for violation thereof , introduced > y James G. iCruse , and now In the hands of , ho committee on live stock and grazing , irovldcs for radical changes In the manage- nent of stock yards , as well as lu rates to bo barged for feed , yardage r.nd commissions. That the public may understand the ihanges contemplated , the following com- > arlson of prices is made : Under present rules the commission for selling cattle is 50 cents per head , not to ex ceed $12 per car ; hogs , Jli per car , single deck , or $10 for double deck ; sheep , $0 per car or J10 for double deck. The new bill llxes commissions at $8 per 'ar for selling cattle ; $5 pe'r car for selling single deck cars of hogs or $3 for double leek ; $4 per car for single deck cars of sheep or * T for double deck. The new bill deals still moro severely with stock yards charges. It provides that it shall bo unlawful for the proprietors of any stockyards in the state of Nebraska tochargo greater price than 17 cents per head for yarding and weighing cattle , 0 cents for hogs ind \ cents for shoe ] ) , whereas the present n-iees are 2 , " ) cents for cattle , 8 cents for hogs and 5 cents for sheep. It further provides that no greater price shall ho charged for grains and hay than .louble the market price in village or city where the stock yards are located , and fixes : he standard weight per ton of hay and per Jtishel of grains. The existing prices are : Hay , $1 per 100 pounds ; corn , ? 1 per bushel. The most radical change provided for In the now bill is that governing inspection. House roll No. 75 provides that there shall bo a sulllcicnt number of competent persons appointed by the governor of the state to act as Inspectors , who shall have power to de termine what stock Is unlit for market , and have the sumo removed ; also same Inspectors specters shall have the power to determine which are piggy sows and which are stags , and to allow a dockage of not exceeding thirty pounds for each piggy sow and sixty pounds for each stag , and all persons except these appointed under the provisions of the bill are prohibited from acting as stock inspectors. The compensation is fixed at 12 cents for each car inspected , andlio more , to bo paid by the shipper. The inspectors are now appointed by the exchange , nnd the fee is in cents per car. Under present regulations the inspector's duties are moro or less perfunctory , as either buyer or seller has the right of appeal to a board of appeals , consisting of two men with power to call la the third man in case of dis agreement. If still unsatisfactory , the case goes before an arbitrating committee , nnd finally , If required , to the board of directors of the exchange. Under the now bill the decision of the inspector would bo final. .Must I'nrnUh Lamps. CIIICAOO , 111. , Jan. 2-1. Attorneys for the National Electrlo Construction company ap peared before Judge Crosseup In the United States circuit court this morning to continue arguments under an intervening petition in the case of the Edison Electric company against the Sunbeam Incandescent company. The petitioners ask for an order which will prevent the Edison company from Interfer ing with them in the purchase of incandes cent electric lamps. They also usk that the Edison company bo compelled to fill their orders for lamps , alleging that the Edison company refuses to sell to them. Judge Crosseup said that until ho heard the arguments the Edison company must sell the lamps , and ho did not think that ho would allow the Edison company to close up the plant of the National company and that a refusal to sell lamps was practically noth < ing else. Ai umcnts will bo resumed tomor row. Sulderts Tor u Lynching. NASHVII.M : , Tenii. , Jan. 24.

The republican caucus tonight made Major J. 1C. Hudson Its candidate for stito printer. The steer ing commltteo advised the caucus to change from Crane to Hudson , because Crane had not been able to control any outside votes. The result of the balloting gives no Indica tion ns to what the end will be. Ady will , of course , stay In the race until the republican policy dictates the abandonment of a repub lican candidate , when there will bo a break up and that element will bo at sea until a democrat is taken up. In the populist house Martin has undoubt edly the most strength , although ho was gl-en less votes than either Breldenthal or Doster. As an illustration of tills , Speaker Dunsmore , an avowed Martin man , voted for ex-Governor Knblusan. Other equally strong Martin supporters also scattered their votes. This was in pursuance of the policy of Martin's waiting until his oppon ents in the populist forces become willing to accept him In preference to a democrat of the other wing of the party. The boom for Uobun , a populist member from Barton county , disturbs the situation somewhat. He had not been considered a possibility until today , and the strength that ho developed mystifles the other candidates and may destroy some well laid plans. Interest centers in the joint convention to morrow , when the light will shape Itself. The end Is not looked for for several days. The republicans continue to regard B. P. Waggoner , the stalwart democrat from Atchison , as the solution of the situation. .Martin Nominated. John W. Martin , n democratic lawyer of Topcka , was nominated by the populist cau cus for senator on the fourteenth ballot to night. The leading candidates were Frank Doster of Marion county , J.V. . Breldenthal , chairman of the pjpulist central committee , and Martin. The opposition to Mar tin finally centered on Doster. The thirteenth ballot stood : Martin , 4 ! > ; Doster , 40 ; Brldcnthai , n. On the next bal lot two populists wont to Martin and gave him the nomination. Tlio election of Martin is assured by the joint convention of the populist liotibe and the populist senators , as all the democrats will support him. Martin is the leader of the fusion democrats as op posed to these who bolted the fusion ticket last fall. The populists believe the federal senate will recognize him as ag.iinst any man , even a democrat , elected by the re publicans.

[ Special Telegram to THE BKU. ] The great railroad question was practically decided so far as this legis lature is concerned. This afternoon oc curred the first great debate of the session and the first lining up of the friends and ene mies of the roads. 1'ho question was on Sen ator Dollard's bill compelling railroads to pay double damages where settlement of claims are not made in tlilrty days. A great struggle has been made for the past two weeks by friends and opponents of the roads to get control of the senate. Uollard Is mak ing a record on which to run for governor and is a radical of radicals. He made a long and violent speech against the ro.ids this afternoon , but was answered in several able addresses and the bill bsatcn by thirty votes to eleven. Railroad men are jubilant at the outcome. No further danger besets them. The house committee , which is radical , de clares it will hold up the appropriation bills until the senate passes railroad bills , but there is little probability that it will be nblo to fulfill its threat.
