The Waxuinsrtou Hone Appoint a Committee to Invpstijjate the Ac cusatlons Routine Proceeding. OLYMPIA, Wash.. Feb. 12. -Aside from routine business, neither house of the legislature accomplished much today. 33oth branches held brief morning and a'ternoon sessions. The house took a re ess from 12 o'clock till 3 o'clock, out of respect to the anniversary of the birth day of Abraliam Lincoln. The feature of today has been important committee meetings held after adjournment, and the Slllng of information asking for the ap pointment of a committee to Investigate into the charges of impeachment against Judge Arthur. Governor McGraw today signed a bill making February 12. the anniversary of lAbraham Lincoln's birth, a legal holiday. This is considered a coincidence, owing to the bill being signed on the anniversary Of Lincoln's birth. Consideration of Taylor's local option bill in the senate today was made impos sible by the long-drawn-out debate over the township organization matter. The bill will probably be brought up tomor row. "When the committees of the senate and fcouse met this afternoon to consider fur ther the bill to plat the tide flats of Ta coma into streets and alleys and main tain the same, In order to prevent con demnation by the city or ihe improve ments of the Tacoma Land Company and Northern Pacific Railway Company, a petition was read from Councilmen H. H. "Warner, J. T. Lee, Royal A. Gove, D. Humphrey and James Glen, asking that their names be stricken from the petition praying for the passage of the bill, as It had been signed by them under mis apprehension as to its meaning. The springing of the petition was a surprise to City Attorney AVickersham, who lost his temper and heaped abuse upon them. It T.as explained by General Manager An derson, of the land company, that the ob ject of the city was to get control of the streets along tide water in order to se cure its own wharf without recognizing the rights of his company or the railway company or paying for the improvements made by them in good faith, Mr. Dickin son, of the Northern pacific Railroad Company, also appeared and opposed the passage of the bill. Adjournment was had without action being taken. The Taylor local option bill, which is iiow attracting so much attention in the benate. provides that the county commis sioners in each county shall have the sole and exclusive power to regulate, restrain, license or prohibit the sale or disposal of spirituous, fermented, malt or other intox icating liquors outside of the corporate limits of each Incorporated city or town, provided, that no license shall be granted within the limits of any voting precinct 5n any county unless u certificate of con pent shall first be filed with the auditor, vs hich shall act forth that the signers are legal voters of the precinct, and that they consent to the granting of the license by attaching their names, each In his own liandwritlng. The number of voters sign ing this petition must be equal or greater than a majority as compared with a total number of votes cast in the precinct at the last general election. The law pro Aides for a nethod of verification of the signatures to the petition. The forgery of a name is denominated a. crime. A license then granted shall continue in force not to exceed one year, .expiring on August 1 of each year. The license fee is fixed at $300 per annum, to be paid the county treasurer In advance. The law orders the county treasurer to pay 10 per tent into the general fund of the state treasury, 35 per cent into the county school fund, and the remaining 53 per cent into the general county fund. It is provided that no license shall be granted to sell liquors within one mile of the corporate limits of any city, town or other incorpora tion for local government. In incorporated cities, towns or villages the people are required to vote at their regular annual or biennial election for and against the granting of licenses for the yale of liquors, the mayor and council or other governing body having the sole au thority and power to license, restrain, regulate and prohibit the sale of liquors within the corporate limits thereof. The bill details how the vote shall be taken, prescribing methods and details for the same. If a majority of the voters vote yes, then a license can be issued for one year, sill licenses expiring August 1. Any person having the qualifications of :i voter and who has never been convicted f any ofTense nor violated the provisions of this act, may. subject to the foregoing provisions of the act, apply for and pro cure a license, in any voting precinct or incorporated city or town where the con Kent of the voters has been obtained, but the application must be filed 20 days before the dato when it shall be heard, and shall be published in the olllcial newspaper at least three times. The application shall include, besides the location, names of owners of premises and so forth, the names of the proposed sureties and the amount for which each shall be liable as Furety. The applicant Is required to fur nish a bond of 55OJ0, with at least two sureties, conditioned as follows: 1. That the applicant will pay any and nil damages that any person or persons may sustain, either in person or property, or in means of support, by means of in toxicating liquors, in whole or In part sold or given away by the applicant or any ether person in or about the licensed prem ises. 2. That the a;.plleant will not sell cr give away, nor permit any other per sons to sell or give away, or use in or about the licensed premises any intoxicat ing liquors, or keep open or allow to be kept open, the place licensed, on any day prohibited by law, or by lawful authority, cr within any hours forbidden by the au thorities Issuing the license. 3. That the applicant will not give away, tell or allow unother to give or sell any intoxicating liquors to a minor, to any habitual drunk ard, to any intoxicated person, to any per son adjudg.nl incompetent, or to any per son of whim notice has been given or served upon any keeper of licensed prem ises by some relative or other party de pendent upon or supporting said person to refuse the iale or furnishing of in toxicating liquors to such person. 4. That the applicant will keep the premises so beensed and will conduct the same in strict conformity with the laws and ordi nances of th j-tate and county, city or town In which said premises are situated.

In legaltzd saloons there shall be no table, chair, box or seat of any kind for the use of customers or visitors; nor shall one be located within 3CO feet of any church or school, and disorder, inde cency and gambling is prohibited. Fred T. Tuylor. an A. P. A. member of the house, who attracts the attention of spectators with a silk flag of the United States covering his desk, introduced a memorial lu the house this morning, urg ing congress to remove Monslgnore Sa tolll. Th resolution is as follows: Whereas, There being great agitation throughout the United States on account of the establishing of an ablegate or dele gate of an ecclesiastical power within the boundaries of the United States, and be lieving that Monslgnore Satolli, the said ablegate or delegate of the pope of Rome, is a menace to our free institutions; there fore, be it "Resolved by the house, the senate con curring. That our senators be instructed and our representatives in congress be re quested to have said representative of said ecclesiastical power removed beyond the shores of this, the United States of Amer ica." The memorial was referred. The woman suffrage question arose in the house again this morning, when Nel son's bill making it compulsory for all electors to read and write came up for consideration. Motion was made to strike out the word "male," which was equiva lent to granting equal suffrage. The mo tion was lost when it was put to vote, after somewhat spirited debate. The bill then took its place on the regular calen dar. These new bills were presented: Van Houten Requiring municipal cor porations to take bonds from persons do ing contract -work. Van Houten Requiring the state auditor to audit and approve all vouchers of ex penditures in all state Institutions. Deckebach Relating to the assessment and collection of taxes.

The Accusations to Be Invetlc;ated by a Houac Committee. OLYMPIA, Feb. 12. Representative Tull of Spokane sprung a sensation in the house today by introducing a resolution for the impeachment of Judge Jesse Ar thur, of the superior bench of Spokane and Stevens counties. The resolution charged him with grave offenses, viola tion of his oath under the constitution, and that he had disgraced himself and mortified the citizens of his district by his conduct. A committee of five was asked for to investigate the charges, with power to send for persons and papers, and author ity to visit Spokane to take testimony. Judge Arthur is a demo-populist, and it was believed the populist members would oppose the resolution. Such, however, was not the case. Ntms, rep., of Chehalis, ob jected to taking up the time of the house with such an Investigation. Tull urged Its adoption. Mllroy and Williams, also republicans, favored affirmative action, and Cline, the populist leader, believed the matter should be taken up. A motion by Nims to table was lost. The resolution was then adopted, and Speaker Morrison appointed a committee, consisting of Eddy, chairman, of Snohomish, Williams of King, Nlms of Chehalis and Rader and Woodworth, of Pierce, all of whom are republicans but Rader. The committee met this evening, and after listening to the charges, decided to leave for Spokane tomorrow to investigate. Judge Arthur is charged with having debauched and per verted the administration of justice in many acts of gross misconduct, neglect of duty and malfeasance. It is alleged that in the spring of 184 the grand jury of Stevens county was left Idle for two or three weeks, awaiting Arthur's presence to discharge it; that he has been guilty of repeated and protracted absence from duty in Spokane county; that during 1S93 his administration of trusts and estates created scandal, and that his conduct while presiding over the criminal depart ment has brought the administration of justice into general public contempt. He is charged with being addicted to the use of a narcotla or stimulant in so much. that he is spoken of as a "morphine fiend," and several acts of Judicial carelessness while in such condition, are cited. The petition ers are representatives of Danish and Swedish societies of Spokane. It was J. R. Lambly's influence with the Spokane delegation that brought the matter before the legislature. This Is the second time Impeachment proceedings have been brought before the Washington legislature against a superior judge. Four years ago, at the second ses sion, Judge Sacks, of Port Townsend, was tried for malfeasance and other offenses, particularly that of gambling. After a very sensational trial, he was exonerated by the senate refusing to vote for im peachment after the house had done so. The Senate FroceedlnjrH. OLYMPIA, Feb. 12. At the afternoon session, the senate considered and passed house memorial No. 3, by F. T. Taylor, for the amending of the naturalization laws. There was but one negative veto, by Shaw, on the passage of the memorial. The memorial reads: "Be it resolved. That our senators be instructed and our representatives In con gress be requested to use all honorable means to secure such amendments to the naturalization laws as will repeal the act authorizing the naturalization of minors without having previously declared their intention of becoming citizens, and also by providing that no alien shall be nat uralized or permitted to vote at any elec tion who Is unable to speak and read the English language, and who has not re sided continuously in the United States for a period of seven years from the date of his declaration of becoming a citizen." The remainder of the afternoon session was consumed entirely in the third read ing of Senator Gilbert's bill, providing for township organization, defining duties, and fixing compensation of township of ficers, and providing for the assessment and collection of taxes. The bill passed the last senate, but did not reach the house. It materially lessens the duties of county commissioners, but the adoption of such township organization remains optional with each county. It finally vent over until tomorrow. In the- House. OLYMPIA, Feb. 12. At the morning session of the house, the following bills were reported favorably by committees, and placed on regular calendar, after be ing read the second time: By Miles To reduce salaries of judges of election to 52 per day. By Heath Providing for the organiza tion and incorporation of companies for clearing out and Improving rivers and streams. By Albertson Granting right of emi nent domain to street-car companies. By Klttenger To provide for the forma tion of limited co-partnership associa tions. When the house reconvened at 3 o'clock, Mr. Tull introduced a resolution asking for the appointment of a committee of five to Investigate charges made against Judge Arthur. On motion. It was adopted. Under reports of committees and second reading of bills, committee recommenda tions for the passage of the following bills were adopted: By Connor Providing for printing and distribution of ballots and relating to elections.

By Williams Relating to costs in civil cases. The following memorial was passed: By Shively Memorializing congress to reject house of representatives bill No. 30L relative to the improvement of public high ways. 30 SENATOR. ELECTED THE BALLOT YESTERDAY SHOWED NO CHANGE. Rentlcixnes Among the Opposition aud a Desperate Effort to Secure Democratic and Populist Aid. The aighteenth ballot for United States senator disclosed no change, absentees re ducing the vote, though there were more present than on Monday. The tabulated vote to date Is as follows: IL!I-J 1 Zffl Dolph Lowell Hare Williams Weatherford Lord Absent So41iJ41i30'36'2) ! 3 sfS; 3110 SlOjlO lWuniKlVlIOl 3!1U HI SlU!0 S'll Si 9111 ?! 8! ?J ?' 1 5i 7I Si 31 a 41 si vA c 7 116 2j 2j 22i12 6 SALEM, Feb. 12. The antl-Dolph ele ment Is making its last struggles before giving up the fight. The chief activity to day and tonight has been in the direction of a coalition with democrats and popu lists, to whom anxious overtures have been made. The name the most frequent ly heard in connection with this effort Is that of Fulton, and report has it that promises have been mada to the effect that in return for support Fulton -would sign an agreement satisfactory to the populists or democrats. Of course, in such an event the senator elected could scarcely be class ed as other than populist, receiving the vote of that party and bolters from an other. No fears need be entertained, how ever, of such an arrangement being per fected. The populists say that the opposf tion cannot make any overtures to them, because its factions cannot agree on a man. Meanwhile, dissatisfaction grows apace among the members of the opposi tion. Several of them are much perplexed! jat the prospect of going home without an election, particularly in view of Oregon's urgent need of a senator just a.t this time' and Dolph's prestige in congress, and do not relish the idea of responsibility for such failure to elect. Their sole reliance for salvation from such a fate has been upon lobbyists, who have promised them that the Dolph forces would soon break up. This hope, so long deferred, is making them heartsick, and It keeps the opposi tion workers busy urging bolters to re main firm. Dolph's supporters seem fully to realize that all they need Is to hold to gether, and his election must result. This conviction is so general and unquestioned that no effort Is being made to hurry mat ters up. The necessity of coming to Dolph as the only solution of the situation will be more apparent as the session draws to a close, and the election may not therefore occur before next week.

Coroner Hawkins will hold an Inquest in the case of William Holland, who killed himself Saturday, after -having attempted to mur der I. XV. Hsllman. J. XV. Jefferson, an attorney, says Holland asked him to bring suit against the bank, and that he (Jeffer son) gave it as his opinion that there were no good grounds for a suit. He told Hol land that if he had been treated like that he would have killed the man who had him arrested. It was evident from Hol land's letters that he intended to ask Hell man for an apology and then shoot him self, but it is thought that Jefferson's ad vice may have caused him to change his mind and attempt Hellman's life.
