add washington
Governor Kellogg has issued proc
iamation converting the Senate in ex-
ira session, to commence Immediately
on expiration of the present regular
session on Thursday, March 2, and
continue for and during ten days, for
\ the purpose of considering any execu-
tive or other business that may be
n brought before them, or for the pur-
n pose of sitting as court of impeach-
ment If necessary. The impression
= among Republicans seems to be that it
was the purpose Of the House to prefer
articles of impeachment against the
Governor and Lieutenant Governor on
the last day of the session, which
would suspend them from office and
leave the Speaker of the House acting
n Governor under the constitution. 1t
sbelieved the converting of the Senate
nextra session will operate to quiet
Fl impeachment schemes.
