and remarks The cnalor engaged In i
lively debate between each other while Lieu
tenant. Governor Harris walked up to th <
chairman's desk nnd hold a long whlsperci
discussion The senate seemed to be agali
hopelc dy lost In a wilderness of parlla
'
montary iirocedure , finally Mr. Murph ;
declared that he for one was tired of th
horse play , and would Insist upon the con
sldcratlon of the bill In regular order , Hi
called attention to the fact that CJrnh.im' ,
amtndracnts had received no second , am
that the chair had ruled that they were no
before the committee. Ho Insisted then tha
the committee dlicuss the only question be
fore It , namely , the motion mail
by Gomlrlng that the bill n
amended by the majority of tin
agricultural committee bp passed. Thi
clmlr held that the dlrcusslon must be con
fined to Oondrlng's motion , and that Ura
ham'n amended bill \\aa not before the coin
mltleo The work wag then commenced nl
over again and proceeded for several mo
mcnta with sometlilng closely resombllnj
decorumWHEUE
WHEUE THE MATTER STOOD
At this point In the discussion the sltuatlor
was !
1. Section 3 of the majority bill provide !
Hint "It Hhnli be unlawful for the Btocl
yards company to clmrgo for loading , un
loading , watering and wcltlilng atocV
greater thnn the follow Ing : Kor ynrdlng
loading , unloading nnd weighing cuttle , a
cents jicr bond , cnlvei. 8 mitt per bend
hoBH , 0 cents per hcnil ; sheep , -I centi pel
liend ; nnd there to bo only olio yardigc
charged "
2. Air. Gomlrlng offered an amendment tc
the nbovo section by nddlng the , vordn
"And no other further chnrgi- ) shall be
mnilo or charged than lit tills net specified '
3. Mr. Tnlbot offered an amendment t (
Oondrlng's amendment by ndillnor to tin
\vorcla quoted ro that Oondrlng's nmcmV
ment would rend as follows : "And no othci
further charges shall bo made or clmrgei
than In tlili net specified for the Items ol
HorvlccH rendered or feed furnlolipd anil
mentioned In tb's ' act. "
4. Mr. Hansom offered still another nincriV
ment to the elTect that "no charge shall bi
iniido to the owner or shipper of ll\o stock
for the lo idlng and unloading of stccMc an1
no further charge for services shall bo made
for nny put pose except for feed charges , as
herein provided "
Hansom explained the object of his
amendment by saying that the amendments
offered by Gondrlng were clearly favorable
to tbo railroads. Under the lav. tallronds
are required to furnish facilities for loadIng -
Ing and unloading At South Omaha these
fncllltlcf ! are furnished by the stock jarils
company. Hansom contended that Gon-
drlng's two amendments would prevent the
Block yards company from making any
charge to the rallioad companies for serv
ices which the latter were bound to pay
under the law. Talbot withdrew his
amendment , giving Hansom's amendment
duo proctder.ee. At this juncture the com
mittee rose for the noon recess
ALL OFF IN A HUNCH.
During the noon recess an understanding
seemed to have been arrived at ovci the
conflicting amendments , for as noon as the
committee had been called to order after 2
o'clock Mr. Goudrlng offeied the foliowlng
as a substitute for all offered at the fore
noon sc'olon "And It shall bo unlawful foi
the manager , owner or proprietor of any
Block yard to take , make or charge any
other or further charges or rates to the
owner or shipper of live stock than In this
act specified "
The amendment was agreed to with but
. Mi. Murphy then offered
iicndmont to the hill to the effect that
irovlslons of the bill should not apply
Jdlscvssloti. for the twelve months pre-
g do not have an average dallj receipt
B head of hogs Ho explained that the
uujuut of the amendment was to exempt
the Nebraska City stock yards from the
effects of the law. The amendment was
agreed to.
Mr. How oil offered an amendment fixing
the charges for yarding at 25 cents per head
for cattle , 10 centa for calves , 8 cents for
hogs and 5 cents for sheep , instead of 20 ,
10. 8 and 5 cents respectively In the bill.
The amendment was rejected by a vote of
10 to 19.
Mr. IIowclI then offered an amendment
fixing the prices at SO cents per 100
pounds of hay and 7B cents a bushel for corn
The bill provides that the price of hay shall
ho CO cents per 100 pounds above the- market
prlco nnd corn CO cents a bushel above the
maikct price. Mr. Mutz spoke against the
amendment , while Mr. Hallcr favored it.
The latter warned the fcenato that It should
bo careful at striking too hard a blow against
ono of the great Industries of the stato. He
favored the legislation himself and told how
the populists themselves four years ago de
feated n stock yards bill In order to play a
game of politics While ho favored stock
yards regulation , he did rot believe In cut
ting too deep , for , ho said , no greater
calamity could befall the state of Nebraska
than to have the stock yards driven out of
business.
DILL ON ITS MERITS.
Mr. Gomlrlng opposed How ell's amendment ,
whllo Mr. Farrell favoied It. Mr. Grothan
opposed It strongly. Mr. Conaway asked
the senate to adopt the amendment , whllo
Caldwcll spoke earnestly In Its favor. The
latter made the point thru the reductions
contemplated by the bill would reduce the
revenues of the stock yards $75,000 per an
num , without making any corresponding re
duction In the company's cxpcnsea
Mr. Murphy spoke at length and with tni'ch
vigor , not only against the amendment but
upon the vvholo bill. His argument biought
out a general dlscucslon of the hill as to Its
merit and the talk took a wldo langc. Before -
fore the gavel fell the whole range of eco
nomic discussion was covered from the rela
tive virtues of specific and ad valorem tariff
dutlre down to the latest phase of bimetal
lism and the mortgage IndcbtednoEw statis
tics of the United States. Among the sen
ators who participated In the discussion were
Foltz of Keith , Hansom of Douglas , Giahani
of Frontier , Heal of Ouster and Gondrlng
of Platte Random spoke against the bill
for n full hour. Gondrlng closed the debate
as far as the general discussion waa con
cerned.
After Gondrlng had finished Grothan pre
sented an elaborate matiipmatlral calculation
intended to refute come statements made by
Hansom In the lattci's long talk In con
eluding his remarks , Grothan asserted that a
majority of the people of Nebraska wsit
cither paupers or on the verge of paupeilbin ,
and that the regulation of corporations was
absolutely nccebsary. T.iia closed the talk
VOTING ON THH AMENDMENT.
The question on the nm-jiidnient was put
to the committee. A lining vote was taken

versions 324 Many Of the converto during
the past week have been from among tha
railroad men. The number of conversions
since the beginning ot the campaign In

six conversions In that place Some other
visits may be made to the smaller adjoining
towns for day services , but the work In the
evening services will be continuous at Mc
Cook until ths work Is done , Tha major
has calls enough from Nebraska towns tor
over a year's continuous service. Ho Is
making no definite promises beyond McCook ,
but encourages the towns calling for a tharo
In the campaign to have the churches united
and tn sympathy with the movement until
It shall spread all over Nebraska. It looks
now as If the state might bo swept from
west to cast with the growing religious
movement. The Interest gives promise o
spreading from McCook to all southw enter :
Nebraska , A theatrical company strucl
McCook last week and failed to make cnougl

range a combination with the major am
get Into the movement , but wcro unsucccss

some rumors that a commltteo of outsld

There Is no foundation to such statements
The major Is entirely Independent of all dl
