LINCOLN , March 22. ( Special. ) When
the senate convened today Van Diuen of.
Douglas offcied Wio" following reaolutlon , and
moved Ita adoption under suspension ol the
rules :
Whereas , It Is apparent to the most casual
observer thnt the stnte cnpltol building Is In
a most dilapidated condition , the outsldo
walls being crocked In many places and out
of plumb , thereby endangering the permanency -
manency of said building- , the roof being BO
out of repair ns to permit the water In many
places to run down through the ceiling ,
1 cauiblng the plnster to fall and ruining the'l
Inside woodwork : and
I Whereas. Under the provisions of section
' 19 of article 5 of the constitution , and article
7 of chapter Ixxxlll of the Compiled Statutes ,
the Hoard of Public Lands and Buildings has
full chaige and control of said building ; and
Whereas , In section 3 of Bald article 7 of
I chapter Ixxxlll It Is provided thnt the snld
bonrd shall be responsible for the proper
keeping nnd repair of the same , and shall
require from the commissioner of public
Innds and buildings , 'who shall bo direct
custodian of such Institutions , buildings and
giounds , a report at least once in every three
, months as to the condition of the same : and
Whereas. As n result of the failure of said
I boaid to perform the duties Imposed upon
' them by Inw the said building , which cost
the taxpayers of this stnte thousands of deli -
i lars , Is now In a disgraceful and ruinous con
dition , therefore bo it
I Ueaolved , by the senate ot the state of
Nebraska. Thnt the said Board of Public
Lands and Buildings bo respectfully re
quested I to give this body the' rca qn , AVhy
, the piovlslons of law have not been carried
outTJiy thorn ; nnd be It further ' .
Resolved , Thnt'the said borird'bc. nnd It Is
hereby requested lo furnish this body with
detnlled Information as to thp repairs now
needed on the capital building , and that said
board bo requested to further furnish an
estimate of the Drobnblo cost of such re
pairs In order thnt this body may have such
information at the time It considers tfio gen
eral appiopiiatlon bill.
The fusion membcis objected to the sus
pension of the rules and hasty passage of
the resolution , hellcvjng the board was un-
t duly criticised by the resolution. Tie mo-
j tlon to suspend the rules 'was defeated , as
It takes a two-thirds majority. The resolu
tion will lay over till tomorrow.

munication was addressed to the senator
Individually , Senator-.Van . Dusen objected to
Its being read. The petition was returned
to Senator Canaday without being rend. , It

to fix the tlmo of flunl adjournment re
ported that tha dalp agreed upon Is March
31 at 12 o'clock , noon. Tbo adoption of the

eral members objected to ngreelng upon a
tlmo for final adjournment before the ap
propriation bills had reached the senate fr m
the house. They believed the senate was
In no shape to say when It should finally
adjourn at the present tlmo. Among those
who opposed the adoption of the icpoit wcro
Farreli , Prout , Reynolds , Owens , Van Dusen
and Hannibal , Senators Morgan , Dunn nnd
