The proceed ing! at the state house yesterday were not much of a surprise to the members and spectators. . Just as the hand on the big clock bore the speaker's desk pointed to 1 1:40 Captain Barry came in with the pell house eridenoe under tiiat one arm lhat has served him so faithfully. Be hind him were the other members of the committee, Lockner and Van flousoB. As soon as the members saw them Coming in they realized that the report of the impeachment committee that has caused so much inquiry and at the same time been enshrouded in such profound psystery, was about to be made. It art but a few moments until the gallery was crowded with anxious and expectant spectators who were bent upon hearing erery word that was Uttered on either side of the grave and Important subject To the Representatives of the State of Kebraska: We, your committee, ap tolnted by your honorable body to em ley counsel to take such steps as seemed iroper for the purpose of instituting jrooeedings of impeachment against itate and ex-state oftloials, if shewn to e guilty of malfeasanoe or negligence sufficient to warrant impeachment pro eeedings, leg leave to report that we pave submitted to your committee of legal advisor, to-wit: Oeorge W, poane, 8. B. Pound and V. L.

We further reoommend the passage of house roll No. 008. We further recommend the adop tion of the accompanying resolution. All of which is resjwotfuily submitted. r. II. Barry, JohnO. Vanuovsen. A. Lockner. After he had flniithed the reading of Pie report and taken a seat close up in front, Ho wo rose and bearing himself Upon bis crutches said in a tone show Ing that he was moved : "Are the find ings of the committee of attorneys sub pitted with the report?" 1 Barry: "I would say to , the gentle man from Nemaha that they are and, would request the clork to read them," The clerk took up the typewritten copies of the reporta and read them while the house preserved almost a dis Agreeble stillness. Following is the joint report of Messrs. Poane and Greene and the separate re port of Judge FouncL To the Honorable tile House of Repre sentatives: We the undersigned, appointed by your honorable body to examine the testimony taken by the several committees ap pointed to examine into the accounts, expenditures and tilier features' of the jetate institutions, and to report whether or not such testimony shows any of the jetate officials or ex-state officials to have been guilty of malfeasanoe or negligence pufficient to warrant impeachment proi paedings against tkem, or any of them, beg leave to report That we have heard read all the tes timony taken by said committee which has been submitted to us, and have carefully considered the same, and that In our opinion there is sumoient testi mony taken and reported by said coin fnitteee to warrant us in instituting of Impeachment proceedings against the following persons, towit: J. C. Allen, Secretary of state; A. R. Ilumphrey, commissioner of public lands and build ings; Geo. II. Hastings, attorney gen-' rai;andJ. D. Hill, ex-treasurer. We' po not understand that it was in the pur View of the resolution under which we were appoint-! thai w eliuuM import any special findings of fact upon which bur conclusion is based, ana therefore we have not done so. But as a matter bt law we have no doubt that tlie facto M testified to before tlie several commit tees of investigation appointed by your honorable body are sufficient to war rant articles of impeachment against she persons aboved named. The testi mony shows a systematic and con tinuous plundering of the state by some of the contractors for furnishing sup plies to the hospital for the insane and in the aeoonn wrendered the board of public lands and buildings for mate rial furnished and labor applied lu the construction of the addition to tlie pen itentiary known as tlie new yll house" and we recommend that suit be i inti tuled at once Kint u h o fthe fraud ulent contractor a are financially re spoji.il.il', to recover tack the amount waWh they have so fraudulently b talaed from tlie Ut.

For employing one William II. Dorgan in the spring of 1891 and retaining him to act as the agent of the board in the erection of a certain cell house at the state penitentiary knowing that said Dorgan was at the same time tlie agent of C. W. Mosher, the contractor of the state penitentiary, whose interest were adverse to those of the 6tate, thereby enabling said Dorgan and Moeher successfully to defraud the state out of many thousand dollars, and for an apparently inexcusable and repre hensible carelessness and indifference in, the examination and approval of vouch ers, account and reports of Dorgan and of his disposition of the public moneys, placed in their hands for disbursment knowing the temptation and opportun ity afforded him to defraud bv reason of his dual relation to the board and to the contractor, and also against cer tain members of said board men tioned in said testimony and the reports of said committees for using and ex pending without authority of law publio moneys in travelling to examine prisons in other states in the fall of 1811. I fur ther roport that in my opinion said testimony fails to show that the mem bers of said board or any of them were directed by corrupt motives or that they or any of them were guilty of any will ful breach of duty. All which is respect fully submitted. Stephen B. Pound. Howe was up ready to address the speaker as soon as the clerk concluded the reading of the re porta and said: "Mr. Speaker: This is a very serious matter and I would suggest that it be laid over until 2:30 this afternoon." ; Barry. "I realize the force of the gentleman's remarks and would not ob jeot to its being laid over until that lime." Keck ley: "Mr. Speaker, I desire to pfTer a motion to have a committee of three appointed to notify the senate that the house is ready to act upon a resolu tion to impeach. Barry: "1 move you, Mr. Speaker, that this house entertain the following resolution: When the house was called to ordei gain at 1 :30 by the speaker seventy seven members answered to roll call. The gallery and lobby were crowded with spectators who maintained the best of order while the impeachment resolu tion was undor consideration. Barry revived his favorite theme by laying: "Mr. Speaker, the special order for 2 o'clock this afternoon was the general appropriation bill, but by general con sent tho order has been reversed and we have agreed to take up the resolution. I will therefore renew my motion to en tortain tlie resolution." The Motion Carrlea. After considerable discussion as to the proper manner to proooed, Keck ley moved to reconsider the motion by which the general appropriation was made a special order and advance the consideration of the resolution ahead of the special order. Thie was agreed to and the motion to entertain prevailed. Barry did not appear to be content with one resolution and offered the fol lowing and moved its adoption: Resolved, that the oonimilUe to tm ploy counsel in the matter of im peachment of state and ex-stat officials is hereby authorised t take testimony and oner the same in im peach ment proceeds tigs. To this Kaup interposed a point of order stating as a basis that tlie house could not entertain the resolution in dependent of the senate and that it should be considered in joint conven tion. ttenatore and Representatives Meet to Deliberate Upon the Resolution. FrompUy at 4 o'clock Sergeant Alley, of the senate came walking down the center aisle a few feet in advance of Lieutenant-Governor Majors and in stenatorian tones announced: "Mr. Speaker : The honorable, tho Nebraska state senate." Governor Majors walked up to tho speaker's desk and in that quaint dis tinct voice said: "The joint convention will be in order. Secretary of the senate will call the roll of the senate." The roll call showed every member of the senate present "Clerk of the house will call the roll of the house," was the next order, which was obeyed by Clerk Johnson with his accustomed celerity In Pursuance of the Resolution. After the roll call the president, Gov ernor Majors, rose and with tlie statute in his left hand said: "This convention has met in pursu anoo of the entertainment of the resolu tion of impeachment by this house. The chair will read section fourteen of the constitution, or a portion of it 'The senate and house of representatives, in joint convention, shall have the sole power of Itnpeaohment, but a majority of the members elected mnst concur therein.

The joint con vention to consider the impeachment esolution heretofore entertained by the bouse, met in representative ball U 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, with Lieutenant Governor Majors in the chair. A roll call showed all present ex cept Itepresentatives Carpenter and Harmon, who had been excused. Senator Pope sent up the following communication, which, on motion. was made a part of the record: To the Members of the Twenty-third Leg Hlative Assembly: Tbe board (of publio lands and buildings have been charged be- tors your honorable Ixxlv with certain offi cial wglect and tnisfuaxance in otlice, and lteps have been taken looking to the im peachment of tbe olticers comprising that voard. We are anxious to have a full, fair and Impartial investigation of any and all rhajgf which have been or may be brought (rnint uu; where the star chamber method if Investigation will not prevail, but where ws will be permitted to know tbe accusation and face our accusers, knowing as we do ucb a trial can only result in our vindication. We therefore resnectfullvaitk that the reso lution looking to our impeachment may be saopteo, ana sucn measures may tie taken as will result in a speed V trial of the ckarens. and that ws may be given an opportunity to refute the same, and be heard iu our own defense, an opportunity which has beeu wbelly deaied us up to tnis time, we aak thoee members of the legislature who hare conscientiously opposed tbe methods that have obtained in the partial investigation thus far carried on, to withdraw such oppo sition and let the resolation pass, ana we only ask that judgment upon the case be withheld until we can produce our proof and be beard in our own defense. A. R. IIvitraaxT. President of the Board of Publio Lands aatt MuiUlings. J ohm C. Atuir. Secretary of the Board ef Public Lands and Buildings. After some discussion, the word "malfeasance" in the resolution, was changed to "misdemeanor," and the roll was then called on the adoption of the resolution. A number of republicans explained their votes They said in substance that tbe proceedings were unjust and unwarranted, but voted "aye" In order to give tbe accuncd officers a chance to vindicate themselves. Ktder also made tho same explanation. Only four member? voted "no," three republicans, and Senator North demo crat. President: OYe' hundred and twenty-seven members of the joint conven tion having voted in the affirmative and four in the negative tbe resolu tions are agreed to . McKesson: I move you, sir, that a committee of five be appointed to draft articles of Impeachment and report the same to this joint convention to morrow. President: The chair hears no sec ond. "Seconded." The gentleman will submit his motion in writing. Lowley: "The motion the gentleman from Lancaster made is to appoint a committee ef five to draft and report to this body the articles of impeachment. Now that is a distinct thing. The sub stitute is to appoint certain gentlemen to prosecute that case after it has been referred and adopted by this assembly. No if the gentleman will take the record he will and in the impeachment of Andrew Johnson that a committee of seven was appointed to draft the articles of impeachment, and that afterwards, the managors were appointed to prose cute and to run the prosecution. Ii would ask this assembly now they can' appoint managers to conduct a prosecu tion when the articles for the prosecu tion are not adopted. I say therofore,' that they are a separate and distinct thing, the appointing of a committee to draft articles of impeachment is one thing, the appointment of a board of managers to conduct that prosecution is another." Wstson: I would call the attention, of the assembly to this fact, that in all. of these proceedings that have been! conducted in tlie house, the speaker of the house in appointing a committee none of us objected. These gentlemen! Unow that. The members of the house) did object to any one member naming the committee, and still they persisted, in doing that Let them insist upon; this substitute. No one is here to raise, any fuss over this matter. We want to' receive it as we have all along in the ordinary and regular manner . I hope thH substitute will not he inflated ivw President: Gentleman will send up his motion in writing. Howe: "I offer the following as an, amendment to the amendment of the; peuUvman from Lancaster, and ask to, have it read." I President: "Tlie chair recognises the gentleman from Greeley." ' Barry : "I move that this joint con vention select a committee of iivo." ! Howe: "Now I offer mine as a substi tute for the two, and wish to have it read. I move that tlie committee just olected by this joint convention be em powered to obtain tho assistance of the attornvys, ritevn li Pound, George W, Doaae and W. L.

Saturday morning The Aluakce Indepkndent i8uned an extra warn ing tho legislature that there was immi nent danger of the whole proceedings becoming a farce. The following is a copy of the extra: THE IMPEACHMENT, Scheme Exposed Tbe Plan Outlied, Correct GENTLEMEN OP THE LEGISLATURE. Do you want your impeachment proceedings to bo a farce? The scheme is already "cut and dried" to make them so. A HOLD BLUFF. The request made by the accused officers yesterday was simply a shrewd move on their part to gain popular sympathy, and throw those who are pushing this matter off their guard. These men have never courted In vestigation. On tho contrary, they and their) friends have continually thrown obstacles in the way of such investigation. The charge of "star chamber" methods, which they made against tbe house, was an insult to the majority of that honorable body. A MISTAKE. You made a serious mistake yester day when you gave Majors ftny voice in tbe appointment of the committee to draft articles of Impeachment. The constitution says that "the two houses in joint session shall have the sole power of Impeachment." Majors is not a member of cither house, and hence hat no legal riqht to take anu part inlhi proceeding, except to preside. Besides, he is one of the state officers elected on the same ticket with the ofllcers to be impeached. He is not in sympathy with your proceed ings, but is in full sympathy with tho accused officials. This was shown by Mb arbitrary rulings yesterday, and particularly by the appointment of two men to draft articles of impeach ment, both of whom are opposed to im peachment and one of whom noted against the resolution to impeach. Majors also showed his unfairness by ignoring tbe independents, who have H senators, TlR PLAK OF TIIE STATE OFFICERS and their friends to make tho impeach ment a farce is as follows: 1. To adopt articles of impeachment which aro weak and cover as little ground as possible. 2. To appoint on the committee which will conduct the impeaihment men who are in sympathy with the ac cused officers. , If they succeed in this plan, the men who have been instrumental in having those proceedings instituted will be the laughing Btock of the country. THE CORRECT PLAN and the one which should be adopted is 1. To nake the articles broad so as to cover every charge which can possibly be proven. They should cover The asylum frauds, The penitentiary frauds, Tho non-Investment of the perma nent school fund, The Capital National bank frauds, and every other fraud that has been, or is likely to be unearthed. 2. To appoint a committee of good men to have charge of the impeachment pro ceedings, all of whom are in favor of im peachment. To appoint any man to prosecute this case who is in sympathy with tbe state officers would be monumental folly. Yet this Is exactly what will i be done If Ma jors l$ permitted to name the commit tee, or part of it. It is tho duty of all mombers.regard less of party, who believe those pro ceedings are justified by the facts al ready known, to get together and act together to make it a success. Gentlemen, will you do it, or will you let it bo a farce and a whitewash? The matter U in your hands. Today's ac tions will decide the matter ono way or the other. Lincoln, Neb,, April 1st, !.
