gram to Tin : BIE. | What the result of th <
Impeachment proceedings would bo i
squarely submitted In a manner to dcprlvi
the members of the chance of dodging be
hind parliamentary wrinkles and twists am
quibbles , tlio vote on Barry's resolution It
the house today showed very conclusively
It likewise showed with equal force wlm
independents are not independents.
The vote on the Loldigh amendment dem
onstratcd very clearly that there Is a sprlnk
ling of the monitors of each party who ar <
not In the fullest sympathy with the demands
mands of their constituents , and thu
while they tire not willing to go 01
record as voting against the known wishc
of the people who sent them to the leglsla
lure , they will not got into a position wher
they can he compelled to declare themselve
If they can help It , and havlni
gotten Into such a position are no
only willing , but anxious to reverse
verso themselves In order to got out o
thu unpleasant predicament. These nr <
some of the things shown by the votes take :
this afternoon , on which the members ar
now on record.
That the attorneys named on the lloor o
the house as the proper authority to pass 01
the evidence taken hy the investigating com
mlttco wcro above leproach , or the sllghtes
breath of suspicion , no member of any part ,
attempts to deny , ami 11 can't bo denied tha
this very fact was ono of the things tha
brought about the defeat of the resolutioi
demanding that the reserve forces b <
secured , .
I'M r Hal Vletory fur the MIMIC : .
That ttio supporters of the boodle gang
who arc of necessity compelled to espous
the cause of the derelict state olllcials , wen
responsible for throwing the cholco of attorneys
tornoys Into political caucuses Is tea appai
cut to admit of argument , and that It wa
done for the purpose of sidetracking furthe
investigation In the hope of rendering tin
posslnlo the trial of Impeachment case :
against the guilty parties cannot success
fully DO gainsaid. .
To the democratic members as a body hi
it said that they unanimously cast thoii
votes In caucus for Judge Wakeley , althoug ]
Individual representatives of that part
didn't hesitate on the lloor of the liousa t
vote against that eminent jurist and t\v
other lawyers of equally well known h
tcgrlty. Their reason for thus playing int
the hands of the corruptlonlsts can only I
conjectured , as no explanations wore mad
to the other members of the house.
The Independents selected W. L. Green
of Kearney , who was ono of their cand
ttatc3 for the senate of the United State ;
and as he was unsuccessful some -of th
members thought that It was as little as the
could do to support him for this appoln
mcnt.
The most severe criticism Is heard rcgari
ing thu appointment by the republicans c
Judge Pound , as it is known that ho was th
preferred candidate of the combine that ha
been engaged In the pleasurable pastime c
looting the state treasury for these man
years. It is not bellovud ttiat ho would al
in any way In bringing any of these partle
to Justice , but on the other hand all his It
cllnnttnns would on along the line of shield
ing them and putting stop to any furthe
proceedings against them.
Show of 1'ulillc Sniitlment.
If the sentiment out through the state !
fairly represented by the letters and teh
grams that are pouring In upon the member
with reforcnco to this matter , the pcopl
ai-o overwhelmingly in favor of having th
matter pushed to a full hearing before tli
court of Impeachment. A constituent of
member , who represents a county not vor
far removed from I/inc.istor writes :
"If u puullc oftleo is a public trust , thos
ofllcials ought to be In the penitentiary , bu
If it Is a private snap , they are all right an
ought to ba let aloas. "
Ono thing is certain and that is that If tl
inlluenco of a powerful lobby , backed by th
money of a conscienceless combine that e ;
tends through its fur-reaching ramification
Into channels that would not ordinarily h
supposed could bo touched by It , can got
hold on flfty-ono members of the housi
nothing will como of the earnest efforts i
the men In that body to bring the pllforei
nnd plunderers to justice. If the end sougt
for Is brought about it will ho because tli
faith of the people was not misplaced and
legislature was at last sent to the Caplt :
Ol'y In which men of strict honesty , unquo
tloncd integrity and unswerving devotion
duty outnumbered the class comprising tl
indifferent , the weak-kneed and the dl
honest.
Only Conr.e for fitment Ufpiildlnin * .
The republicans who are pushing the In
peaehment proceedings Insist that the part
cannot consistently follow any other cours
o.vcept to ilcpo.su the olllcials who have u
ready been characterized by the legisliitut
ns unlit to lill the olllces which they no\
hold. They say that not only haxotiioofl
clals been censured , but money has been i\\ \
pioprlated to prosecute the tluoros for who :
thievery these officials are to a great extei ;
responsible.
lu viiw of this state of affairs they cai
not see how any republican can consistent ]
vote to retain those men In onieo. as
whoso unlitne'SB they have already decmrei
and In supinirt of which volumes of ovldem
are now on tile in the state house.
Ahuut riuiii Adjournment.
The quest Ion of final adjournment Is stl
unsettled , bin It will not comotwforo the lu
tcr part nf next week. Today was thu slxt ,
Hint day of the session in the house and tl
lift' tniith In the senate. The a
tit-n 01 thu upper house in adjourning unl
Saturday will render it impossible for tin
body to get In wore than sixty days by tl
lese of the week , while the house will have
ncreascd Its lead to three days. There Is
considerable talk In favor of a leglsla-
Ivo recess of several weeks , If nec
essary , In order to allow the investi
gations to proceed , and then meet again to
take action. This course Is urged by the
constituents of some of the members , who
sny that they will contribute out of their
own pockets to make gooJ the expenses ol
the members Incurred In that way. Some
of the members who favor It s.iy that if it
can't bo brought about in any other way
.hey will try to have the adjournment come

"This circular was signed by John Cuth

that members of each local lodsro should

thoroughly canvass its territory , visiting al

not antagonistic to their order ; to call upot
other labor organizations to assist them h
their efforts and to appeal to the public generally
orally through the daily papers to withhoU

CLEVELAND , O. , March 23. Chief Arthu
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Eng
nccrs has deemed it advisable to sot bolor
the public , lu an ofticial communication , th
position which the brotherhood occupies i
the Toledo strike. Mr. Arthur's statemen
Is as follows :
After reading the various comments an
crltlclHins In thu dllTerent papers on the T <
leilo. Ann Arbor & North MlrliL'iin strilio an
Judue Hicks' decision , I feel compelled to stat
my bide of the story.
In the llrst phico I find It very hard lo mak
tliti public understand that I do not order nn
stoppage of work , and could not If I wante
to. The men themselves vote upon It , and I
u majoi Ity decides to stop work , of com : , o j
Is dono.
In all cases where the engineers and Iiremei
have a contract with railway companies w
have no trouble , and llnd It much thu bust wa
to do. Thu great trouble has tieen on the snml
roads , especially to talio advantage of th
men in making thorn work for lebs wages am
giving no pay for overtime.
In thi ! fust case every honorable effort wa
made to adjust the illlllculty , but without sue
cess , and heru It Is said that thu men stoiine
work without glvlm : notice , which Is not trui
as I myself addressed a letter to Ueneni
Manager Ashley on the Toledo & Ann Arbo
road Informing him that his engineers an
Ih-emen had detui mined to leave his servlc
at U o'clock a. m. , Wednesday , March H , thu
giving him amplu tltno toilecldo whether h
would grant the reasonatilu rciinest of his me
or not. II. W. Ashley , the general iimmiKci
when I informed him that I appealed to hi
father , the president , remarked very abruptly
"lie Is-an old man ; he does not know whethe
1 aiii.jiaylngUCLMitbu mile or $ 'J ; ho must no
bu dlsturhi'd. "
U there ban been a head to Die Ann Arbo
road that hulloved In living and let llvu w
would not have had thn trouble , hut so ton
as this grinding piocess ! > carried out by tli
railways , Just MI long will there bu troiibl
with the companies. An engineer's llfo is
hard ono at best ; he must it-port for tint
many times when not able to do so , or lose hi
Klttmtiim , and K ho bu a man of family. It 1
not uneasy thing to do. Ileslde.s , many Mint
thu men are made examples of to gratify th
putty splto of n superintendent or a music
mechanic ami are removed on thu sllghtt
pretext. It does not take sornu men long t
fowl that they came fioin a switchman's to
superintendent' position , or from a wiper to
master mechanic. Alt thu engineers and llri
men ask Is fulr play , and thuru will bu n
trouble.
If menaio not at liberty to quit wink at an
tlinu It suits thulr convenience , then , cur
talnly , the sumo ruin will apply to H ruilion

PAIIIS , March 2 ! ) . In the Chamber of Depv
tics today Deputy Millevoyo argued , in sen
satlonal language , upon his question as t
what more the government proposed to do ii
regard to the Panama case. There was considerable
siderablo excitement in the Chamber and ai
evident purpose on the part of the opposi
tion to bring about a crisis. Millovoyo wa
loudly applauded by royalists and revision
Ists when ho severely censured M. Rovicr
for having demanded Panama money froi
M. Plasto for , what ho claimed , governmen
uses.
' For what right had tha government o
ono of Us ministers , " ho asked , "to domani
money under such circumstances ! "
When the clamor following this abated M
Millovoyo proceeded to ask what had bee
done in the case of Cornelius llvvt. "Is th
scene , " ho cried , "being played behln
closed doors at Bournemouth a drama or
comedy ! Why has not Her/ been extni

M. Bourgeois , minister of Justice , uros
deliberately and replied to M. Millovoyi
Ho began by alluding to the presence In tin
Chamber of the acquitted deputies , who ha
hecn on trial ui the charge of accoptln
Panama bribes. "I congratnlato the Chair

M. do Pradlne , member of the exlrera

favor of the dissolution of the Chamber.
Premier Hlbot opircsed the motion. The
premier said thcro was no reason whatever
for anticipating the regular period of ills-
solution nud that accounts must bo made up ,
and that would take tliuo. The right , ho
added , would lose nothlnu by waiting. The
country clearly s.uv the object of the Panama

Resolutions were adopted reciting that
farmers and producers are becoming hopeless
debtors to the speculator classes and sug
gesting us a remedy that all middlemen ,
who exact unjust prollts. should bodispenscd
with. The monopoly of money is declared to
be most oprcsslve and Us control should not
be surrendered to any ono class , but should
be supplied by the government directly to
the people for services rendered , or loaned
at a low rate of interest. All forms of
money should bo made a full legal tender
and silver should bo coined on equal terms
with gold.
Resolutions also favor the postal savings
hanks and the government ownership of
banks and ownership of railways ; laver
such a tax on land that will discourage large
holdings for speculation , and call for a grad
uated tax on incomes and inheritance ; want
a reduction of oniclal salaries ; favor the
taxation of real estate at its assessed value ,
less the mortgage on It ; call on the govern
ment to take charge of the liquor trafllc , and
ask for the extension of the mail service in
the rural districts as fast as | > ossiblo.

LINCOLN , Neb. , March 23. [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : Din. : ] The llrst struggle in the
impeachment light Is over and the house has
decided to institute Impeachment proceed
ings against the derelict state officials.
As soon as roll call was completed and the
reading of the journal had been dispensed
with , after Representative Johnston's
prayer , Keckloy asked unanimous consent to
introduce a resolution. The request was
granted , and the clerk was called upon to
road the followlnir :
Resolved , That there shall bo a commltteo
of three appointed to employ John C. Cowiu
and Judge U'akeley to investigate the ovl-
denco taken by the various committees of
this house , and render an opinion thereon
in writing as to whether or not the members
of the Hoard of Public Lands and Hutldinga
are responsible for the misappropriation of
the state funds to such an extent that they
are justly liable to impeachment under the
laws and constitution of this state ; and If
said counselors decide the matter afllrma-
tlvcly , then and In that case said commltteo
is hereby authorized to engage Messrs.
Cowln and Wakeley to begin proceedings nt
once by preparing articles of impeachment ,
to bo presented to tire legislature for its
consideration.
\VnlHon Defends the ItliiK.
Watson at once donned the mittens
and went after both the resolu
tion and Its Introducer. Ho o | > -
posed the naming of the attorneys anil
insisted that they should be named by the
commltteo. He said that ho proposed to
show Up one of the members of thu house in
this connection.
Kcekloy demanded to know it ho was re-
1 erred to , and Watson finally admitted that
such was tlio case.
Keckloy then stated that ho would tolerates
no interference in his affairs by the gentlot
man from Otoo.
Watson said that ICeekley was too much
Interested ( n securing an Impeachment lu
order to vindicate his course as a member of
the investigating committee and that ha
would never have suggested the attor
neys named unless he' had secured an
expression from them in advance. Watson
objected to ICeekley naming the attorneys ,
but a moment later asked to name them him
self. Ho wanted to have Judge Reese ap
pointed , hut Keckley Informed the gentleman -
man from Otoo that ho understood that the
attorney named had been retained by the
other side. Ho insisted that the whole prop
osition wasn't to bo undermined by any
such trick as that of placing the matter In
; ho hands of an attorney who could not
handle It because of previous obligations , in
order to rim it over until too late to take any
other action.
Hurry llnd Another Sehuino.
Barry objected to the program as mapped
out by Keckley's resolulon , and moved the
adoption of the following resolution as a
substitute :
Whereas , This legislature has appointed
several committees to examine Into the ac
counts , expenditures and other important
features of our several state institutions ,
and Whereas , These several committees have
performed their duties and have submitted
their reports , and
Whereas , The 'hous ? of representatives
has accepted ami adopted said reports , and
Whereas , Said reports show several of our
state and ox-stato olllcials are guilty of gross
neglect and dereliction of duty , of such mag
nitude as to warrant prosecution under the
provisions of the constitution and statutes
for impeachment ; therefore bo It
Resolved , That a commltteo of flvo
bo appointed by the speaker , whoso duty it
shall 1)0 ) to Immediately prepare such resolu
tions and take such other steps as may , bo
proper for thu purpose of "instituting pro-
cecdings of impeachment against all state
oftlclals and ex-stato ofllcials if shown by
aitl report to bo guilty of malfeasance or
negligence suMlclent to warrant prosecution ;
and bo it further
Resolved , That said committee recommend
to this body what steps In their judgment
should bo taken by the state to protect Its
Interests and the recovery of such stuto
funds as have been misappropriated as
shown by the several aforesaid reports made
by said special Investigating committees.
McKesson raised the point of order that
the house could not entertain the resolution
at this ; tinio without first notifying the
senate that It was pending. The i > olnt was
not sustained , it being held that the adop
tion of the resolution would not bo ilnal , but
would bo merely a part of the preliminary
work.
I.ooUuil thu lloui't u While.
A call of the lions' ' ! was demanded by
Hurry and properly seconded , nnd the scr-
geant-at-arms was directed to close the
doors. Roll call showed that Kioko. Howe ,
Kyner. Carpenter and Crane were absent ou
excuse , and Wilson , Wlthnoll and Colton
without oxcuse. Harry moved that the call
of the house bo raised , but Watson objected ,
as seven of the absentees were republicans
and one a democrat , while all of the inde
pendents were present.
The sergcnn'-at-arms was glvea warrants
for the arrest of the thrco uuoxcnscd ab
sentees. Ho soon returned with Colton and
Wilson , who wcro taken before the bar of
house and their tardinc.ss excused.
A motion to raise the call was defeated ,
but when repeated at 13iO : ! by Sodunwm
It carried.
Immediately after that the house ad
journed , the forenoon having been practi
cally tin-own away so far as results wcro
concerned.
I.iikii uiul I.eeii ) Added.
The house adjourned pending roll cull on
Harry's substitute , mm on reassembling
after dinner a wrangle ensued us to whether
any ether motion could be made before the
beginning of the roll call. The clerk was di
rected to refer to the records and ascertain
the condition ' the question , after which ib
was held by the chair that roll call on the
suoslitnto was ponding. The original reso
lution was then read and the substitute by
Harry followed suit.
Keckley then called for the reading Ol , %
