them and receive new bonds therefor.
Senator Buck made another of his ringing
appeals in favor of the claimants he represent
ed, and said in emphatic language that he
would never vote for the bill as it now stood
The amendment was further DISCUSSED in a
running debate between Senator's Pillsbury,
Powers, Adams, Kinds and others.
The amendment was lost. Ayes, 10.
Nays Is.
Senator Wheat offered an amendment pro-
viding that none of the state school funds
should ever be invested in these bonds
Senator Pillstury said the adoption of this
amendment would throw discredit upon the
bonds at once. If the bonds are not good
enough for the school fund of the state, they
are good for nothing.
Senator Crooks sustained Senator Pillsbury's
position.
Another debate ensued, participated in by
Senators Kinds, Powers, Wheat, Crooks,
Adams and Others, when the amendment was
lost, after which the committee rose and the
senate adjourned.

A Plea for the Transit Bonds.


To the Editor of the Globe:
Dear Sir: I represent the owner of 13O
Minnesota state railroad bonds issued to the
Transit corporation, and am instructed to say
in their behalf that while willing to accept the
general features of senate file No. 0, they will
not submit to the discrimination made against
these bonds contemplated by section of the
bill.
As stated by Senator Pilsbury this after
noon, during the discussion of the bill in
committee OF the whole, the aggregate of
claims covered by the section referred to is
1886, ,363. Of this Indebtedness SlS5,O0O is
claimed to be chargeable against bonds issued
to the Transit company, $4,000 to the Min
neapOlis q Cedar Valley corporation, $4,000
to the Minnesota & Pacific corporation, and
$4,000 to the Southern Minnesota corpora
ton. These figures are in round numbers.
twill be seen that the principal burthen OF
the discount proposed by the section referred
| to, is to be imposed upon the owners of
Transit bonds. The integrity of these bonds
stands upon the same level, and their tenure
in the hands OF the owners represented by me
could be proved to be for larger considerations
| in money than most of the other bonds favored
| by the proposed adjustment.
| Can any good reasons be offered why bona
fde holders of Transit bonds should be un-
| It will be learned from the reportof Messrs.
| Nichols, Hubbard and Tourtelotte repub-
| lished in 1881, that of the 967 bonds owned by
| Mr.. Chamberlain, only seventeen are of those
issued to the Transit company, fifteen to the
| Minneapolis and Cedar Valley company,
| against the bonds of which this inequitable
discrimination is to be made.
| / am authorized to state that the parties re-
ferred to do not seriously object to the pay
ments contemplated if the discount proposed
| shall be made from the gross amount of
| bonds to be issued, in pursuanc, of the So
called Pillsbury bill, substantially as suggest
ed by the amendment offered by Senator Gill
| fillan in the committee of the whole this af-
| ternoon.
These suggestions are neither inspired nor
made by spirit OF opposition, but in the iu-
| terests of what appears to be justice. II an
equitable adjustment" so-caLed, lis to be made,
| it should involve equity" 1t will be se-
rious disadvantage to the bill or the act if it
| becomes one, that large owners will not COM
| ply with its terms, aad that this subject which
| has irritated and annoyed respectable men of
both parties, cannot be substantially and
completely adjusted at least, so far as relates
to the leading creditors of the State.
believe it will not be thought impertinent
| in me to say that the preamble of the bill
| should be stricken out. Those of us who
were here and assisted in the passage of the
| So called loan amendment, know that the
| bonds issued under that amendment were
| discredited, and made comparatively valueless,
| by such contents as this preamble embodes.
Very respectfully, j. B. BRIsBIN.

HOUSE..

There was but little of interest in the house
yesterday. In the forenoon there was brief
debate on Judge Wilson's resolution relative
to the old railroad bonds, which resulted in
their reference ID the committee on the gov
ernor's message by vote Of &c to 81. This
is not considered test of the relative strength
OF the bond-paying and bond-repudiating par
Ties. bill was passed under suspension of
the rules amending the registry law. 1t re-
quires the names of all voters to be registered
at least seven days before the election, and re-
peals the existing provisions of law permit
ting to swear in their votes when they have
failed to register. 1t applies only to the cities
of st. Paul and Minneapolis, and will un-
doubtedly have the effect OF disfranchising
thousands of working men. The afternoon
session was devoted entirely to routine busi-
ness.

A Bad Accident.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 20.-Five men were
killed yesterday on the Cincinnati &
Southern railroad at Mckinney station,
100 miles from Cincinnati. They were
ON a car containing water tanks, which
had been detached from the coal tank
with an engine to go little distance up
the track. Returning, the engine became
unmanageable and the car was driven
against standing coal train. The men
killed were David Campbell and George
Campbell, OF Mckinney, who were rid
ing for anus ement; John Alcorn, Charles
Knobbs and George Whippey, railway
employees. Another employe, Thomas
Smith, had both legs broken, and Doc
Lane was badly hurt. Whippey lived at
Cleveland. There is some question
about the ca use of the inability of the
engineer to stop the engine.

time, authorizing the issuance of 81, 500, 600 In
bonds for the purchase and extension of our
water system, instead of 100000 as now
authorized After fully considering the ques-
ton it was decided that the 100000 now
authorized would be sufficient, until the
meeting of the next legislature, and that,
therefore, no legislation should be asked at
his time upon the subject,
