The public hearing on The Insurance
.nsstlon. held BY joint committees Of
olh houses on Wednesday evening has
ot yet borne fruit, Tho committees
re not decided as 70 the enact course 10
.nrsue, the speakers from Kansas City,
l.rJosoph and 81. Louis not having
|hfown much uddlhcnal' light on Tho
nbIcct. The two committees will endea-
|orso get together and introduce the
Ame bill In both houses. They are
sorking Indpstriously along that line.
n forecast OF the bill Is impossible.
Tho present week has been prolific Of
lnts from men Of different parts Of the
,ato locking after special interests.' !
fist and foremost Of these was "Bill"
Phelps, who has been hem nearly the
ntiroweek appearing before different
Dminittees In matters Of ailroad legisla-
on, and issuing transportation 70 the
|erical force for themselves and ali their
ife'srelation. So far the motel railroad
representative has not been known 10 ask
BE- the passage Of any legislation. con-
ning his energies 10 heading of proPos-
measures. With tho assistance Of
representatives OF all the express eom-
anies who appearedhefore the senate
ommittee he convinced the committee
BAT The Bradley express bill was unjust,
lhhed aid not succeed so wen on the pay
Aybill, the committee reporting in favor
bill forcing the railwaysto pay OF
b ten days from the end Of the month.
He was before the house railroad COM
ittee Tuesday night when they arrang-
q for what was to have been a white vs..
blored debate on the separate coach
ill. The authors Of the bills indignantly
efuse To- debate with the nigger. The
house committee on Tuesday night viii
also take up Mr.. Williams passenger
ate reduction bin, and on the following
bight the freight rate reduction bill and
Eillhear evidence on railroad measures
svery Tuesday night. Phelps does not
scam to have the swing and influence
pIibe credited TO him. There. is little
Imposition on the part Of Legislators to
Aear up the tracks" and as long as rail-
ssAd representatives only ask for the
asfeatfof unfair legislation they are
likely to get what they ask, but II would
B6idecidedly unsafe for Mr., Phelps or
anybody else TO slide through measure
for the exclusive benefit Of corporate in
Asrests. Col. Seibert was here for aday
Booking after those legislators whUwant
70 cut OF some Of the emolurnents Of his
bihce. The Carmody race track people
nre here all the time circulating fine
Drandof whiskey and urging race track
slegislation. J. r. Rippey, secretary Of
NE State Fair, has been here during the
entire'session keeping tab on State Fair
anterests. The insurance people Of the
#three principal cities Of the state keep
Hmen here constantly and the different
Ecities containing state institutions have
snearly oil sent representatives here to
stay for,varying lengths Of time.
sThe'Stock Yards measures that were
sngued publicly before hearing Of the
joint COMMITTEES on agriculture, are still
BNnder consideration. The authors Of the
bills contend that the Yards should be
aunder some sort Of restrictions while the
s6tock Yards people take the position
that they are merely incorporated to do
business and do not enioyany franchises
Tor special privileges and that their rates
sAre lower than other Stock Yards and
9they shOald not be legislated against.
From tlieyiewpCint Of TIE manufacture
! ers Of republican campaign nateriarthe
week has been q long series of dissp-
ipointments. Ashley had induced De-
