THE RAILROAD BILL.
This afternoon the Railroad Commission
bill came up. The greater portion of the
session was passed In discussing whether
the measure should be acted upon by sec
tions or as whole, After scattering
debate, the motion 10 take up the bill by
sections was adopted.
Mr.. Harrell, OF Webster, offered an
amendment TO the first section, which was
to adhere TO the constitution Of the State,
which gives the Legislature power to
regulate freight and passenger rates, aud
which the former Legislature had confer
red upon the commission. The amend
ment virtually means to leave the rate
making power where It now is, in the
hands OF the commission.
Mr.. Harrell had the floor at the hour of
Adjournment. The debate promises to be
lively and interesting.
The city is filled with people who have
come here to witness the battle.
