THE SENATE CELEBRATING.
Third Reading o the Kansas Railroad Bill

Introduced and Reported.

topeka, Kan. Dec. 81. The railroad
bill adopted by the populist caucus,
which was passed in the house and
was read for the first time in the sen.
ate Thursday, was read for the second
time in the senate yesterday and its
further consideration postponed The
populist leaders explain the delay in
the bills passage by saying that on
account of the absence Of one senator
they lacked the requisite two-thirds'
majority to declare an emergency
hence the bill went over under the
rules, when it will come up regularly
for the third reading for final passage.
The senate committee recommended
for passage the Joint resolutions pro-
viding for the election Of state printer
by vote OF the people and for increas-
ing the time Of legislative sessions to
100 days at s. day salary for each
member. The bill creating state
mine society was also recommended
for passage.
Echoes Of the bribery investigation

other with being a self-convicted gang
Of boodlers. Considerable feeling was
aroused and many personalities were
INDUCED in. The motion to have the
committee file another report was lost
after long and somewhat exciting
debate.
Bills were introduced in the house
