POPS AND REPUBLICANS AGREE
Compromise Reached, According fe
which There VIII Be No Changes
In the Rules.

Topeka, Kas., Feb. 23.-tSpeciaD The
Republicans of the house have reached an
agreement with the Populists, and there
will not be any change in the rules. AT
caucus of the Republicans to-day, a COM
mittee composed of Botkin, Larimer and
Barker was appointed to confer with the
calendar revision committee and see what
could be done to prevent trouble. The
committee held a conference this afternoon
and satisfactory agreement was reached.
The Republicans agreed to have the rail-
road and stock yards bills made special
orders beginning Thursday. In eonsidera-
ton of this, the Populists agreed not to
change the rules or revise the calendar on
other bills. The house Republicans held
another caucus tonight and adopted the
report of their committee.
The plan now is to take up the railroad
bill Thursday afternoon and continue the
discussion each afternoon until the bill Is
fully considered. The stock yards bill is to-
be considered at the night sessions. The
stock yards lobby hopes to catch the Pop
ulists mapping some night and kill the bill.
They say this Is their only salvation. Sew
eraI Of the Populists of the house are under
the control OF the stock yards lobby, but
enough have not yet been obtained to de-
feat the bill.

tian at this session OF the legislature This
was fully settled tonight. xhen the PoPd-
list members OF the senate. in ezueus. by a
vote Of 3 to 10 knocked out the maximum
schedule in the Harris bill
The caucus lasted from until I'D. and
It was very stormy. al t,mes- Householder
led the fight for MAXIMUM freight rate
attachment and Harris led the forces op-
posed TO any schedule being incorporated
The bill. as finally adopted. is practically
the Harris bill, as originally introduced in
the senate. Senator Harris always opposed
a schedule being attached to T. BILL His
theory was to vest the railroad commission
with authority TO fix q schedule As chair
man OF the railroad committee, he drew up
a bill embodyilg his vie-Ss and introduced
il. He was not able to swing his commit
tee. however. and his bill was amended by
adding a maximum schedule 1t was re-
ported for passage to the senate and was
made special order for tomorrow Before
going into the tight on the floor, the Pop
uIists decided to caucus tonight and agree
among themselves upon the measure. Sem
ator King evidently saw the handwriting on
the wall, for he refused 10 go in He said
he had too much other business 20 at
tend to-
The principal objection raised to knock
ing out the schedule was the suspicion of
the PoDulists that the Populist board OF
railroad commissioners was not composed
of trustworthy men, and that the members
of said board would wear diamonds as
large as cocoanuts providing it were left
with them to fix a schedule. But the ma
jcrity of the PopuIist senators argued that
the members were "middIin' honest and
that # would be better TO trust the case
in their hands than to fix a schedule which
the United States supreme court would
get a lick at. A vote was finally reached
on the proposition and the following sena-
tors voted for the Harris bill with the
maximum schedule eliminated: Arm
strcng Crossen, Farreily, Hanna, Harris,
Helm, ,Helmick. Jumper, Lewelling, Reser,
Ryan, Shaffer, Sheldon, Young and Titus.
These who voted in favor of a maximum
rate schedule being retained in the bill
were: Benson, Braddock, Caldwell, Cooke.
Householder. Lupfer, Pritchard, Titus,
Fcrney and Hart Those absent were King,
Mosher, Field and Campbell.
The action of the senatorial caucus to-
night simply means that the house will
waste its time if it takes I'D the Brown
railroad bill for consideration. The Har-
ris bill as it will pass the senate to-mor-
row must be accepted tomorrow or there
will be no railroad legislation of any kind
