Madison, Wis, Feb. 1S-In accord
ance with the call issued last month by
Governor Upham, the Legislature as
sembled today in extra session. The

Gently completed.
During last fail a special legislative

to be a warm fight, however, concern
ing several districts, the reapportion-
ment of which are not agreeable to Va

the case Governor Upham would be liza
BILE to Impeachment. He says, however,
that he is perfectly competent to judge
whether he is acting within the provls-
ions of the constitution,
