RAILROAD ELLIS IN SENATE

-- -aa
 The present week promises to be the busiest and most important, in the matter of the legislation before the two Houses. of any since the opening of the Legislature. In the House tnere is every likelihood two sessions VIII be held daily after Tuesday. and long sessions will be the order in the Sen. ate, even though 1t is not determined to hold morning and afternoon meet tngs.
 The big railroad bills will come up in the Senate during the early part of the week, and while they VIII Tn all probability be the subjects or much discussion, they will pass and be sent to tba House for the committees there fo rrapnle with during the latter por- tion of the week. Indeed. it is not believed the discussions over these rail- road measures will be upon the supJect of their enactment, but with regard to the particular form in which they shall be passed.
 There will be amendments. and then some more amendments to be consid- cred, ranging all the way In import ance from mere clerical changes and corrections to sweeping amendments that practically amount to substitute bills Each of these amendments pro posed, as mater of course, will be sub iected to debate by the Senators. ex- cept the veriest correction of details, should any be discovered in the pend. ing measures.
 Some of these railroad bills will re- quire considerable time for their dis posal, and 1t Is not believed all Will be cleared from the Senate Calendar until the last of the week, although one or two will be sent to the House early In the week. But practically the ka fo1w up in the upper House with the con- alteration of the railroad bills that were the issues of the Conner campaign, together with the other measures upon similar subjects which have come up since the converting of the Legislature.
 Will Bury Editors Amendments.
 It Is expected the Committee on Com nerce and Common Carriers of the Sem ate will hold a meeting this morning, before Lieutenant-G Governor Gray for naally raps the Senate to order, and will sadly lay to rest the amendment to the anti-pass bill giving the editors of the State an opportunity to exchange their space for transportation. Then. the last sad rites over the remains of the late deceased having been per- formed, the measure will be reported to the Senate without the amendment.
 It Is possible or course, the Senate may devote a day to the pronounclng of eulogies upon the deceased, but any attempt or suggestion of resurrecting the remains will be severely drowned down by the Powers That Be. And so the Oill, having received major ity of all the votes cast, will be de- cIared to have passed the Senate" and will be sent to the House to be the subject of still further oratory.
 The House at the present time has a Calendar as long as the moral law, and an attempt will be made during the week to clear 1t up. and get 1t down to a more workable size. One means for doing this which has been sug- gested Is to clear away the local and special bills that beclutter 1t. as rap- idly as possible.
 It is probable that today resolu- tion will be introduced, emanating from the Rules Committed, providing for session of couple of hours for each afternoon at which nothing but spe- oial and local biIls shall be consider sd The Idea is to nave call of the coun- ties at thls afternoon session. and to permit each member of the House. as the name or his county is called, to call up for immediate consideration some one local bill m which ne is interested.
 Provide for Local Bills.
 It Is believed that in this manner the roll can be gone completely over in the course Of about three arter- moons. Practically every member will have had one measure of a local nature to be called up for passage. and 1t will have been disposed of. When the first call Is concluded. another can be be- gun. and probably will not take SO long, as some of the members who called up a bill on the first call will not have a second measure to ask to have considered.
 The resolution for the afternoon ses- sions will likely be presen ed today. but under the rules will De referred to the Rules Committee. and W Il not be acted upon until Tuesday. Hence, the afternoon sessions will probably begin tomorrow. It Is possible, however, the proposed resolution will meet with the general approval of the legislators to such an extent that it will be passed at once, under a suspenslcn of the rules.
 For the regular sessions of the House. there are at present four spe- cial continuing paramount orders, and the consideration of these. with the at tendant business that win come up. in- cluding the reports of commit; ees. the introduction and reading of new bills, current resolutions. etc, will likely con- sume some time. With afternoon ses- sions provided for to begin at o. clock, it will be necessary for the House to adjourn until that hour promptly at the hour get. 1 o'clock so that no great amount of business can he disposed of at any time at any given days session.
 The special orders that are 10 com up. in the order in which they come are as follows:
 House Bill No. 25, by John--Anti-lob- by bill,
 House Bill No. sS. by Arnold-To ex- empt Confederate soldiers and sailors, and their widows. from taxation
 House Bill No. a29. by Goodwyn-To anproprtate $S,T34.57 to the First Ma tional Bank for money loaned the State At the time of the threatened yellow fc- yer epidemic in 1905.
 House Bill No. 30, by John-Juvenile Court bill.
 All these measures have received fa- vorabIe consideration, and recommend ation by the committees to which they were referred.
 Committees Must "Get BuSy.,'
 It is possible. and quite probaie, other measures may be made special orders for consideration at some certaia time, but under the new rule by which all such motions must be referred 10 Rha Committee on Rules, 1t is unlikely
