Work of tbe Closing Days. THE BRIBERY INVESTIGATION. On Thursday the committee appoint ed to investigate the charges of bribery In connection with the senatorial elec tion rerjorted. Casper and Stevens submitted the following report: Mr. Bnuktr: As member of your mitt beretoore appointed to inwUtfate th obarg of improper una of or offers of money t influence the voU of mwnber of L laislature ia Uie matter of the election, of Unuou BttM NUtur we beg leave to, report an follow : That o(Tri of money were made to eight member of the legialatar for the alluded parpoee of lufluemang their vote In tbe mat ter above menUaaed, aad whilrt it is true that th parti ia every caea eave one deny that they had to offered moeey to member of tin toKldatare, tbey nevertheless aduiit all the other statements made by said moiav bers of tba legislature to be true, and tbi ia raeu inciiaes us, a members or this commit tee, to the belief that offer of money were' Htaoe wiua corrupt intent. Tbe one party admits that be bad acted aa a.go-belween for certain Uteres ted par. tie, who snow! bim tbe noaer and said the money would be paid when the vote were delivered, and thai be, a a go-between,, bad offered to two membra? of this leirtaia. fore certain tune ef money If eaf 4 wteeabefw would east their votes aa be night direct. For further Information ia respect to these mattera we would respectfully refer this honorable body to the evidence new in the hands of the chairman of this eesnmitte. Zloseeotfully submitted, L Jam Mttij5B, C. m. CAaraa, McKesson the republican member of the committee submitted a minority re nort pprniirinf IteDresentatives Krick and fioderman, and asking that Ser- geant-at-arms Duogan be discharged. ", This brought Soderman to the front. lie made one of the roost eloquent speeches of the session In defense of his course. Krlck followed in the same strain, and when tbe motion to adopt McKesson's report was put to a vote, it did not receive a solitary vote. A motion was made and adopted pro viding that the report of Casper and Stevens be received and printed with the evidence. THAT INSURANCE INVESTIGATION. After the disgraceful row between Sheridan, Rose water and Roggen, the house appointed a committee to inquire into the charges of attempted Doodling in connection with Fulton's insurance bill. On Thursday that committee sub mitted the following report which was adopted: First We have examined twenty-two witnesses, whose testimony is contained in the 172 pages of testimony submitted herewith aad made a part or tne report Second There was introduced "in evidence an article published in the Nebraska State Journal of March 15, 1893, containing an interview in which was mentioned the name of Representa tive a. Fulton. We hnd from the evi dence herain before referred to that Mr. Fulton is exonerated from any charges of improper iniluences, and from any connection with any persons against whom any suspicion has been directed as beiDg connected with any such charge, and that his action as a member or the house and of th insur ance committee in reference to insur ance legislation has been entirely honorable. Third We find that house roll No. 287 was drawn and its introduction secured by a person not a member of the legislature, and that afterwards the same person offered for a considera tion oT $1,500 to use his influence to bring about the defeat of said bill, but that said otter was not accepted by the parlies, to whom it was made, abd we be lieve that no member ol the legislature knew of such offer or was in col lusion with tbe party making the same. Your committee cannot condemn in too strong language the practice of any person procuriug the introduction of bill of a character prejudicial or in jurious to any claws ot bjslnue with tbe Intent of extorting money from those interested therein.

Nothlsg is known definitely of the charges thatjwlll be heard against the bishop, but it Is pretty definitely known that his removnl to tbe diccese of Chey enne is asked for on the ground of his autocrxtic treatment of several of his pne6ts. The Instances cited are In the cases of Father Walsb, whom he suspended for Ave years for what the priest's friends claim was without just provocation and done in a fit of temper, and Fathers Crowley and Corbett, to whom hlsibearing and manner has been harsh and -autocratic, as the priests al lege. Tbe bishop is something of a fighter hiaiBeli snd his friends have been busy for severaljdsys senrching newspa per liles and interviewing prominent Catholics after evidence. Fsther Walsh is equally active and'the hearing prom ises to be a very breezy one. The ruse will he partially heard on documentary evidence and both sides have been noti fied to prepare as much of their case as it is pi ssible in that manner for submis sion.

It as nearly 8 o'clock Friday even ing when the joint convention got to gether I he resolution of Impeach inent against Iicntt n was read. Jcrsen of Fillmore wanted to have the whole matter dropped, lie thought this non sense hadg. ne about f ir t-nough. Wat son was afraid it was unconstitutional to imttcach an otllcer after h s tme bad expired. Several reimblicans wantd the evidence read. This was exactly . ..- a w wnai ne muepenuents were wait ns for. Porter sueiresU'd that the evi dence of A. M. Warlnir b5 read. It was read, and when it wasdono Ron ton 's fool friend' wished they had kept their mouths shut. Waring testified that he witsone of .the nolarlts who took the evidence in the l'owers-Boyd contest two years ago.' Som-thing like$j,000 had been appropriated by tho legislature to pay him and his alsi- 8Bts for that work, Tbe act was passed without an emenrcLcv clause, and hmce they could not got their money till August 1st. Tbey needed the money badly aud decided ti discount tne claim at tbe Commercial Hunk of Utnaha. Uut before tho bank would accept the vouchers, the notaries had to see Auditor Benton, and ascertain if he would issue tho warrant when the time cam. He said that he suspected tout tne appropriation was unoonstltu tional, and be wanted 1700 of the monev. The result was that the notaries finally had to give Uenton $700 in order to got mm to proralce to Issue the warrant. Waring's testimony was supported by that of the bank cashier who brought copies of all the papers in the cae showing that Uenton had drawn the $700 After thli evidence had been read, Watson wanted the question of consti tutionality submitted to tho three at torneys employed in the case. An in dependent called attention to the fact that already these lawyers bad drawn artlc'es against one ex-oHlcer, Mr. Hill, and suggested that they wouldn't bo fools enough to do such a thing if it were unconstitutional. The resolution of impeachment was then adopted by a vote of 82 to 5 Knowing how near the end of the session it was, the committee had arti cles cf impeachment against Denton already drafted. Tbey were read and adopted. Leese's Case. Although it was nearly ten o'clock when Benton's case was finally disposed of, the case against Win. Lei so was taken up. None of tbe stock objec tions urged by republicans in other cases were heard in this, Tbe inde pendents declared that they were as ready to impeach Leeso as anybody else if there was any evidence against him. rorter wanted to know what charges and what proof tbey tad. Ben-, ator I'ope, a railroad lawyer from Crete, got up and made a speech in which he made a good many assertion against Mr, Leese, and said he could bring men who would swear they were true. . It appeared that no evidence what ever bad been taken, it looked very mucn as if the resolution against Mr, Leese had been trumped up as a bluff to stave off action against Benton. 1'orter replied to Tope, saying that when tho house bad asked the senate to come over to impeach the state of' fleers, they had sworn testimony. Now the senate asked the house to help im peach a man merely on their verbal statement. Pope then sent up a resolution asking that a committee of three bo appointed by the chair to take evidence in Lecse's case and present it to the joint conven at 10 o'clock Saturday. It also provided that the three attorneys, Boane, Pound and Greene, draft articles of impeach ment upon the evidence, if it in their pinion was stinlclent, and report the same to the house. Tbe resolution was adopted and the chair appointed Pope, McKesson and Porter as such committee. Then the joint convention adjourned over to iu o'clock buturuay. Saturday's Convention. When the two houses got together on Saturday the committee appointed to take testimony reported that they had examined several witnesses, tho evidence had been submitted to the at torneys and theyhad decided that there were grounds for impeachment. The report was auoptod. At 11:30 the articles of impeachment were read and adopted. The charges against Lcene are that whllo he was a member of the board of public lunus and buildings there were fraudulent voucher approved for coal for use at tho asylum similar to those of the past two years; that he collect ed money from the state ostensibly for expenses In prosecuting cases in the United StaUr supremo court, while such money was never iont for that I'urimeo, aiid thpt ho worVcd for a fee against thu stato in a certain bond in junction case. Thu same committee and the same attorneys were appointed to lake charge of tho cases against Benton and Let no. John C.
