PHOENIX, Ariz., March 4. This was a momentous day in tho legisla ture, though little was finally accom plished." The houso railroad legisla tion bills were brought up this morn ing. Pirst Boll's railway commission bill was considered in committee of the whole and recommended to bo laid on the table, which was done by a vote of 12 to ft, it being the impression of most members that, however desirable tho commission might be, such legisla tion would bo futile. Later Crenshaw's freight rato bill was taken up and for the same reason it was about to tako tho same course when the noon recess intervened. Dur ing that intermission there was a revul sion of Koiityiioiit and the committee of the whole recommonded its passage. Thie bill was even amended by a now raijroad commission clause practically tho same as the former .uo and strength enough was deevloped to pass it, but not ouough to secure the necessary sus pension of rules. Unless there is change of sentiment over night tho bill as amended will be passed tomorrow after noon. Rangers Remain as Before The house bill reducing the force o, Arizona Rangers was laid on the table, fcloutiment in the house was favorable to itspassage, but it was regarded as a useloss undertaking, since the council had so overwhelmingly defeated the O'Neill bill of the same intent.

Doran Bill Will Pass The council was at recess the greater part of tho day to give the committee on mines and mining opportunity to meet for a consideration of the Doran bill and the governor's bill. The Doran bill has been further amended to meet some of the objections merely men tioned but not urged by the governor, who, on the contrary, said the bill was irremediable. "It was thought that the committee would reach a report, but it did not finish its consideration of the proposed legislation. It is said that there is no doubt that the Doran bill will be passed by the council. The council adopted a moinoiial to the president and secretary of the in terior praying that the Flout hern Pa cific may not be given tho low lino right of way so as to interfere with the con struction of 'the San Carlos reservoir. Tho council passed I ho house bill ciTm polling county recorders to turn in all the fees collected by thorn. The bill merely removes doubts ns to the con struction of the present law.
