| ST.. PAUL, February 2l.-Pillsbury moved thai
the original bill settling the railroad bond question
be amended by striking out all after the title and
making an entirely different bill. He said the new
bin differed from the one introduced by him on Fri
day last In several important particulars First II
only refers to the Supreme Court the question Of

without proposition to that effect having first been
submitted to the people; second it declines to accept
the proposition to have the amount that the state
! amount which would be Republication, but it treats
the bonds a disputed contested claim, and the
rate Of fifty cents the dollar of principal and in
terest third 1t reduces the rate of interest from to
per cent; further, it renders it optional with the
state to sell the new adjustment state bonds for a
nr fhp An
tended debate ensued, after which the senate went
into committee Of the WHOLE Wilson then moved to
strike out the section which provides for a commits
mission composed Of urists resident outside Of the
state. Agreed to-. J. B. Gil6llan offered an amend
ment to the preamble declaring it for the best inter-
of the state and Of all the people thereof that all
propositions of compromise an settlement should be
treated with fairness to the end that all conroverted
claims may if possible be compromised, settled and
extinguished. Pillsbury next moved that when the
committee rose, the substitute amended be
recommended for passage, which was adopted.
The land bill was then also recommended for
passage, after which the committee rose, and the
report Of the committee was adopted-yeas "a, nays
8. Pllsbury then presented q resolution, which
sought to make the two bills the special order at IL
O'Clock on Tuesday, the bills to be subject to amend
their final passage on the same day. More confusion
followed, after which Pilsbury's motion was put
upon its passage, two-thirds vote being insisted
yeas to nays. The president declared that it re-
quired twothirds of full senate and as it requires
~ votes to make tWO-tlird9 of a ful1 senate he
motion was declared lost. Kinds moved to amend
by making the bill the special order for Tuesday at
