contest was adopted. A motion com
plimentary to the presiding officer failed
to pass, tho independents refraining
from voting. House roll 233 was placed
on passage, but was defeated. There
was delay in adjournment, occasioned
by the difficulty experienced by the two
houses iu nBT" "Pn the amend
ments to the three large appropriation
bills. Up to 3 o'clock in the afternoon
he senate stcndfast'J5 refused to recede
from its abicnttinent.s. Tlie conference

brary buildingfor the state university.
At about 4 o'clock Senator Moore moved
that the senate recede from its amend
ments, and the opposition, wearied by
the constant pressure, gave in; The
house, finally fencurfed ih the sons tc'
amendments to the salary appropria
tion bill, and one more obstacle was re
moved. At 8:31 p. m., on motion of
Senator Lobeck, trie senate adjourned
sine die. In adjourning the lieutenant
governor thanked the senators for their
courtesy during the session. Every
body is now looking forward to the im
peachment trial. This will be the first
of its kind ever to be held before a ju
dicial body-. An interesting point was
suggested by a legal light. Wlleli the
defendants file their answer it may be
pecessary for the utaie td file its.feply.
jt is hbld by some that iieilllcr tlie dt
torneys or.the impcachuietit co'njmittec
can make this reply. It is held that an
extra session will be necessary in order
that the legislature may authorize and
make this reply. It is shown that in
tho Andrew Johnson proceedings the
house of representatives, which body
presented the articles of impeachment,
nlso presented the reply. This is ad
hutted by several lawyers, to be a prob
lem worthy of consideration.
HorsR. In the houcb'nthe8th there
were but few members scattered around
when Speaker Ga din's gavel rapped for
order and .the last day'sbusiness of the
twenty-third session of tlie NeKnlska
legislature began. The bill, house roll
108, which provides for the sale of the
Saline lands, came up on the motion to
concur in the senate amendments. The
bill passed. The investigatng committee
submitted another report regarding the
iea trice institution ior inc leeoie
minded. It was a reiteration of the
former report and commended the sys'
j crease 111 inc wnn 01 ine iiiuiiht 01
6tate. Khodeslu-tly seconded it as the
last chance offered him to smirch that
omciai, uiu tne resolution was miu on
the table. The house then considered
1 the senate amendments to the salary
(appropriation bill just passed by the
I Upper house. Howe said he had infor-
mation from the senate that that body
' would probably concur in the action of
I the house on tlie general appropriation
I bill, and that if the hduse Would be pa
tient for a short time, it was probable
an extra session could be avoided. In
formation was received that the senate
refused to concur in the general" appro
priation bill and the house stopped
further consideration of the salary bill.
Wation moved to adjourn sine die.
Howe asked the house to wait a few
minutes and give the senate another
chance, for a few minutes might jave
an extra session. On motion of Ste
vens a coiumittco was appointed to no
tify the senate that the house had com
pleted its business and was about to
adjourn sine die. Another committee
was directed to wait on the governor
and see if he had any further commu
nLation to make. The house ordered
200 copies af the blue book printed for
its members. The house refused to con
cur in the salarj- bill amendments nnd
the motion to adjourn was defeated by
a vote of 12 to 3$. The secretary of the
senate announced concurrence in the
action of the house on the general ap
propriation bill. The house immedi
ately considered its action on the salary
bill and concurred in the senate's action
on the same. The house adopted a res
olution of thanks to Speaker Gafiin and
on motion of Sheridan of Red Willow
the house adjourned sine die at 8:43
o'clock. The adjournment of both houses
was quiet and in good order. Goodbys
were said quietly and the twenty-third
general assembly was a thing of the
past.
Joint Session. The senate and house
met in joint convention to consider im
peachment matters. Mr. Pope offered
the following report, which on motion
of Schappcl. was adopted. Mr. Presi
dent: our committee appointed to
take testimony in the impeachment mat
ter of William Lease, beg leave to re
port that they have taken testimony
and submitted the same to Messrs.
Doane. Pound and Greene and they ad
vised your committee that impeachment
will lie on the testimony adduced and
are now preparing articles and specifi
cations of impeachment and your com
mittee asks that a short time be granted
that said articles may be completed and
presented to the joint session. Senator
Mattes then called up his impeachment
resolution and moved its adoption. No
objection was shown and it wasadoptcd
by a viva voce vote. Articles of im
peachment were then handed in. Wat
son rose to a question of privilege and
explained that the republicans had de

Legislative Notes. Gov. Crouiisc
on the 10th vetoed the item appropriat
ing ??,000 for house rent for the chief
executive for tlie ellsuihg two years. In
Kis veto message, which was filed with
Acting Secretary of Statfe Cadwell this
afternoon, the governor gives tlie rea
sons for his action as follows: "There
is fay vprrant for such an appropria
tion. Section 2 1 of article of thecon
stitution fixes the salary of thegovcrrlcf
at 52,500 per annum and prohibits him
from receiving perquisites of office or
other compensation. In the face of this
firohibition there is no more authority
n iily judgment, for appropriating
money to pay the reist of of a hodse for
the executive than there is to furnish
it, stock it with wines, pay servants,
provide ,c,arria,gcs and tire like. The
salary of the state officers .may be; and
in some instances no doubt, is, inade
quate. Yet it is such as is fixed by the
constitution, and until it is increased
by a new or amended one, no attempt
should be made to supplement it by in-
direction and at the same tune invite
those who should uphold the law to vi-
olate it.

The governor also sigficd the three ap

The two important bills yet remain

house rolls 33 and 210. House roll 33
was presented to tne governor at 4: .i
o'clock last Thursday evening, and he '
will therefore have until Wednesday ,
afternoon at the same hour to make up
his mind whether to sign or veto. A
strong pressure is being brought to in
duce! Ilim to veto house roll 210. The
bill is1 especially obnoxious to the peo
ple of Lincoln, who claim that it is a 1
monopoly measure of the most vicious I
character.

This was called vividly to xnlttd to-dajr
by the remarks of a gentleman Who
has spent many years in Southern

He was standing in front of the
Houston Hotel talking with a group of
strangers. Everyone was remarking
on the magnificent sunshine, the vivi

the 10th they will parade to Jackson
Park in twenty State divisions, each
! headed bv a first-class band. In the
rounds there will be speeches by the
Governors of ten States and a program
of unique proportions.
The school revenues of St. Louia
have just been increased by $100,000 a
year through a raerchantV tax bill
signed by the Governor. The money
I will 'enable the school board to put
into effect plan that will place the
schools of the city far in advance of
' those of the other large cities in the
matter of practical education for
youths fitting themselves for their life
work. There is already a famous (
manual training school here, but it is
not free, and it has been long desired
by the friends of the public school to
carry out the idea of manual training
in them far enough to give any boy
who wants it a practical knowledge of
the mechanical trades. With this
money that can be done. A system of
free manual training, with special
buildings, will be established early in
' the next session of the schools.
' The street parades in St. Louis, dur-
; ing the fall festivities, and in Chicago
at the opening of the World's Fair will
be made much more attractive by the I
presence of a body of cavalry which the
, Italians oi this city nave organized.
; The troop is composed of about 1,000 of
, the wealthiest young men among the
. Italian citizens of St, Louis, and they
I are uniformed more picturesquely than
. a hussar, every bit of their equipment
I being warlike, however. They carry
light weapons of several kinds. The
trappings of their horses are splendid
and costly, some of the richer riders
having them made of solid silver. All
i the men are fine looking fellows, con-
aiderably above the middle-height, and
they make a striking spectacle on pa-
I rade. It is the only body of this sort
in this country and they are worth see
ing. More than three thousand families
in St. Louis are now having homes
built for them by the building associa
tions, of which there are four hundred '
in the citv. Their secretaries report
that they have on hand applications
for that many houses of an average
value of f 1,500 apiece. Tlie building
season has just opened here, vcith the
first clear and sunny days of spring
and the associations are all letting
, their contracts. The total value of
these homes will be over four million
' dollars, and if they are finished by the:
i ena ox tne year, as tne will probably .
' e whole amount of money spent
in building iu the city will nearly
etouble the figures of last year, which
were about three millions.
