Railroad Legislation In Kansas.

Topeka, Kas., February 25. The proposed maximum freight rate law has been killed in the State Senate, which passed the Harris bill, after knocking out the maximum freight rate clause. As passed by the Senate the bill gives the State railroad commissioners authority to fix rates with power to enforce their decisions by mandamus proceedings in the State court.
