revised the terms Of the agreement drawn

in Mission Bay TO tho Central Pacific
Railroad Company, and recommended
that the municipal authorities carry out
the'terms Of that agreement.
On q division Of the question the first
resolution was unanimously adopted, A
motion was then made to indefinitely
postpone the last resolution. THIS motion
provoked sharp debate, and was finally
carried by vote Of % yeas to 81 nays.

was again OVerruled.
The bill OF Keyster and certain war
rants for work done on tho court house
were offered in evidence and objected to
by the defence, but the court allowed
them.
After recess several other bills Ot Key
ser were put in evidence. One Of Key

and was objected 10 by the defence on
the ground that the court ruled yesterday
that the defendant only Us President Of
