BISMARCK, Special Telegram, Feb. 49,
When the hour arrived to-day for the con-
sideratlon of the railroad bill, the lobby of
the council chamber was crowded by inter-
ested spectators. among them several we'll
known railroad and elevator men, It had
been quite generally understood that an
effort had been made by the railroad and ele-
vator corporations either to defeat the bill OF
to 80 amend 1t as to practically thwart its
operations When the council considered the
bill in committee of the whole, the matter Of
deciding upon the amount of salary of the
commissioners to be appointed under it's
provisions was passed over. To-day the
amount was fixed at 81, 900 per annum. Mr..
Richardson offered the following amendment
to section 10:
Nothing contained In this act shall be con.
striicd to require any railroad company to fur
seis when eeet 81 40 Gona wSu s
prevent the reception Of grain from the public by
any public elevator or warehouse upon the rail-
considerable discussion. the general opinion pre-
vailing that It would practically defeat the in
tended operation Of the bill. Notwithstanding
the plausible arguments offered In its favor bv
vote the amendment was overwhelmingly lost,
Messrs. Nickeus, Richardson. La Moure and
Twomy being the only members voting in the
affirmative. When the roll was called on the bill
1t was passed by unanimous majority. 1t is .
little difficult to predict the fate Of the bill in the
house. the members Of that body feeling .
bill in the council. and owing to the fact that
strong pressure will be brought to bear by the
railroad lobby tesecuIe its defeat. An invita-.
territorial officers to attend . reception by the
citizens OF Fargo on Saturday evening. Both
houses accepted by unanimous vote. and will
turning Monday morning. Invitations have
been issued in order to keep out the large NUM-
her OF hangers on that attended the excursion to
Grand Forks.
