BOND BILL.
S'nator c. A. Plllsbury introduced a lengthy
bill (glven in full slsewher.), to provide for
the adjustment of certain claims against The
state, known as the Minnesota state railroad
bonds
The bill read, Senator Pillshury explained
thsJ the bill was In its main features the same
as that passed at the last session, only altered

Senator Adams moved 10 amend To refer la

That commission had been enj lined fro III
performing The service for which it was
created by the supreme court, aud the legis-
lature had been convened 10 meet the issue
contemplated in the formation of the com
mission. Ii there was a debt against the
state it should be paid. Gov. Plllsbury has
met his obligations as he understood them,
squarely, and the legislature should do the
same. But question involving the credit OF
the state, and the probable ext endliure of
millions of dollars should be carefully con-
sidered. He therefore trusted the bill would
be referred.
Senator P.lsbnry explained that the same
