Legislative Matter.
SACRAMENTO, April l0.-In the House,
| Just before adjournment, the maximum
fare bill was taken up. The bill fixes
three cents as the maximum fare on all
roads earning over $4,000 per mile.
| Cutter, of Yuba, moved to amend by
fixing tho maximum fares ON all roads
earning $4,000 and less than $4,000 ut six
| cent?, and allowing all other roads to
charge ten cents mile. Thus amend
ed, the bill passed unanimously.
In the Senate Judiciary Committee,
Lecturer 0verheiser. Of the Stale
| Grange, was examined. He testified
that it was his business to make
himself acquainted with the relations
between railways and producers, and
that great discomfort prevailed In con.
sequence Of tho determinations prac-
ticed on the Central Pacific system. He
had examined the provisions Of the
Barry bill in regard to determinations,
and thought them fair and equitable.
He would not say whether the bill might
not be improved by amendments, but In
the main it was q measure which the
public would approve. Whitney in.
quired whether II would not be fair
tor the railroad to charge more
for a small quantity Of freight than
for large one. THAT is to say" said
Overhe,ser, you think that il two
farmers raise wheat in the same county,
the one on farm Of one hundred and
sixty acres and other on q farm Of five
thousand, the road should transport the
crop of the latter at lower rate than
the crop Of the former" Whitney could
not deny that this was his idea. "Then,
returned the lecturer, "your plan would
be to make the rich man richer and the
poor poorer"

bill; but, believing it corrupt, they had
refused, and ever since Buckley had been
their enemy.

His Opinion Of the Barry Bill.
SAN Francisco, April TO- Charles
| Crocker, President of the Southern Pa
cific, in an Interview with Call re-
porter on the merits of the Barry bill,
now before the Legislature at Sacra-
mento, said: MY opinion is that the
Barry bill will work more injury to ship
pers than it will to the railroads, al.
though it will be very annoying to rail
road companies to carry out all its
provisions. Under it speculators and
large operators will have great advant-
ages over small shippers. The bill would
prevent US from making, in time of
