SENSATION AT LINCOLN.

LINCOLN, Neb., Milrch 10.—As a result of the most exciting session of the legislature ill the history of the state, lasting- all night and up to late Wednesday afternoon, tho preliminary arrangement for the impeachment trial of a number of stale officials were made. It is the. culmination of almost two months' work on the part of the legislature investigating alleged frauds among state officials, particularly the board of public lands and buildings.

Crookednesn Unearthed.

When tho legislature convened it was confronted with numerous charges of crookedness against a number of prominent state officials who have held office in Nebraska for the last, twenty years. The careful work of the committee appointed to do some wholesale investigating caused the collapse of the Capital national bank. Then it was discovered that President \V. C. Mosher had appropriated about 81,000,000 of other people's money. Four hundred thousand dollars of this belonged to the state. Mosher publicly doclared that the state oflicials comprising the "state house ring" must stand by him in his troubles, and insinuated that he could tell much to their detriment.

The Fenltentlary FrMtuU.

Whether duo to this cause or otherwise, Mosher's bond was placed at only 810,000, when he was known to have gotten away with ten times that amount These disclosures compelled the committee to investigate the penitentiary management, as Mosher was the lessee of the establishment. The committee found even more startling evidence of fraud. In addition to finding that the convicts were treated with awful cruelty one of the inmates was found to have been murdered by the guards and tho erection of the addition to the penitentiary recently completed to have been conducted with rffgard to the enriching of Mosher and .his friends.

Gov. Boyrt Implicated.

The board of public lands and buildings, consisting of Gov. Iio,yd, Secretary of State Allen. Attorney General Hastings and A. R. Humphrey, commissioner of public lands, was held responsible for permitting Mosher to get possession of state funds in the construction of the penitentiary annex.

Resolution, of Impostrliim'nt.

Tuesday niglit the question of adopting the committee's report was before the legislature and occasioned the exciting session. Early Wednesday morning it was finally adopted, but ex-Gov. lioyd was not censured. Resolutions of impeachment were presented, and will be acted upon to-day. There is some doubt that the impeachment proceedings will be ordered unless tjie evidence of gross neglect of duty on the part of some state officials is positive. Where the blame lies is the only question to be developed by the impeachment proceedings.

CHECKED THE FLOODS.

•Tack Frost Comes to tho Rescue of Inundated Sections In Michigan. DETROIT, Mich., March 16.—The se­

vere cold snap that struck this state Tuesday night has effectually checked, for the present at least, all further damage from floods. The ice in the Grand river has been cleared away and no further serious trouble is expected on that stream. In other rivers the water is reported falling. The situation in the Kalamazoo flooded district remains about the same. The water has not risen any since Tuesday night, but there is much suffering, as ice lias formed and house to house communication by boat is almost impossible.

Exhibitors Must Hurry |Tp. CniCAGO, March 16.—Director Gen­

eral Davis' second "rush order" to exhibitors at the fair was sent out Tuesday. Although 100 car loads of displays came to the park during the day and '250 had reached the city, Col. Davis warned exhibitors that they must hurry their goods aloug, as the time for receiving exhibits expires April 10. During the day Col. Davis gave orders thai electric lights be placed in all the buildings at once, in order that work may go on twenty-four hours a day.

Sioux CITY, la., March 10.—Tuesday night every street car operative employed by tho Sioux City Street Railway company was discharged and new men put in their places.

WESTERN DEMAND FOR MONEY.

Chicago Hanks Want Slo.000,000 Before May 1—Now York Greatly Worried. NEW YORK, March 18.—The eoiv

tinned strained condition of the money market causes renewed anxiety in down-town financial circles. The uneasiness was increased by the reports that banks vcre again calling in their loans, because, as was lilegcd, their out-of-town correspondents were still withdrawing their deposits and Chicago hankers had given notice to their agents here that they would require between now and May 1 815,000,000 in bills of small denominations. Added to this was the great difficulty said to be experienced by merchants in selling or discounting their paper in fact, it has been alleged for some days that this was impossible, and that in consequence thereof some failures in mercantile houses were to be expected unless there was immediate ease-up on the situation. With reference to the demand for money from out-of-town hanks, particularly in the west, it was said by the presidents of some of tho largest banks, those with extensive out-of-town connections, that the indications were that the flow of money to the west.had ceased. Whether it would break out again, and if so, how soon, could not be foretold, they said. Under ordinary circumstances the return flow of money to this city was rather to be expected.

CALLED ON CLEVELAND.

Episcopal lltshops Ask for Clemency 111 Enforcing tlie Chinese I.aw. WASHINGTON. March 10.—A dignified

delegation was introduced to the president on Wednesday by Bancroft Davis, the recorder of the supreme court. It was composed of four bishops of the Episcopal church—Rt. Revs. 1'aret, of Maryland Potter, of New York Whittaker, of Pennsylvania, and Ilare, of South Dakota. The object of their visit was to discuss with Mr. Cleveland the Chinese exclusion law with relation to its bearing on American interests in China. They said that a strict enforcement of the law would be apt to endanger the property and lives of Americans. They told the president that they came to him not as representatives of the church, but as citizens, and they had no suggestions to make, but had simply come to confer with him. Mr. Cleveland said that he had to enforce this as well as other laws of the country. The bishops admitted this, but suggested that it might be possible to mitigate in some degree the severities of the law's operations. The president told them that he would do what he could and the interview terminated.

GOJiE TO HAWAII.

Ex-Coniirresaman Blount Sent on an Important Mission.

HIS TOUR ONE OF INVESTIGATION.

He Will Inquire Into tho Desirability of Anuexlng the Inlands an Well m* to the WWhea of tho Native* in tho Matter.

HAWAII TO BE HKARD."

WASHINGTON, March 10.—Tho sudden departure Tuesday night of ex-Repre-sentative Blount for San Francisco and thence to Hawaii brings out how fully the present administration has abandoned Mr. Harrison's precipitous policy of

annexing

Hawaii.

Mr. Blount's mission is to inquire into the desirability of annexing the islands. More particularly he is to determine whether the people of the island desire annexation. There have been strong suspicions that the rccent revolution was brought about largely by the "sugar kings" and others pecuniarily interested in a change of government. Mr. Blount will satisfy himself as to the genuineness of the annexation feeling.

Ha* Never Committed 11imse!f.

As chairman of the foreign affairs committee when the matter first came before the public Mr. Blount took a very conservative position, refusing to commit himself on the subject of annexation without further information. There is no doubt that since the overthrow of the queen he lias had some suspicion that this government may have encouraged the revolution and might possibly be accused of having a part in the establishment of the new government of the islands with which we are asked to treat-

Air. lllounL's Flans.

First of all the fact will be established that this government, pending the ratification of a treaty giving the right to do so, will not interfere in any way with the affairs of the islands, except, if need bo, to defend them from foreign encroachment, tho idea being that a government claiming to represent the people of the islands must be strong enough to maintain itself if we are to treat with it The probability is that we will do nothing to maintain the provisional government against the deposed qncen or any other faction strong enough to assert itself. But if it is found that the provisional government is really the chosen government of the islands and is not dependent on the support of the United States for its existence the proposition for annexation may be favorably regarded and an amended treaty may be sent to the senate at the next session.

Slay Lower Our Flag.

•However, apart flora other considerations, the desirability of annexing the islands will be investigated as a business proposition. During Mr. Blount's investigation it is probable that the United States flag raised by Minister Stevens will be lowered,
