OPINION IS DIVIDED.
German-American Views as to tn
Retention of the Philippines.

Milwaukee, Wis. Dec. 1.-The Herald
will publish tomorrow morning the re-
suit of the efforts of the editor, Mr.. Ed
ment among the German-American
population of Wisconsin on the expan-
sion question. He obtained from the
chairman of the Republican county
committee of every county in the state
except Milwaukee the names of five
representative German-American Re
pubiicans. the chairman of the county
committees not knowing for what pur-
pose the names were asked. Mr.. Cole
man wrote to the five men in each COIN
ty. asking an answer TO the following
question:
I'D Are you and your friends of the
opinion that the American government,
after the close of the war in the Phil
ippines. shall retain the islands as ter
ritory and property of the United States
and give to the Filipinos a suitable
form of government under the direc-
ton and control of the United States, or
''(2) Are you of the opinion that the
troops shall be recalled Immediately
and the Filipinos left to take care of
themselves? or.
..(3) Are you of the opinion that after
the close of the war the United States
shall give to the Filipinos the broadest
self-government and content itself with
a protectorate?
The replies so far received are class
flied by Mr.. Coleman as follows:
For question 1. 55; for question 2, 10;
for question 3, "a. Five ignored direct
answers, but expressed confidence that
the administration would adopt the
proper course; four were undecided be-
tween questions and 8, and nine were
undecided as to the proper policy to be
pursued. In a letter to President Nc
Kinley, Mr.. Coleman says:
while | was personally CT the opin-
ion that we should never have assumed
possession of the Philippine islands and
should not retain them as American
territory, felt the German
were as much divided on this question
as the Anglo-Americans. and that a
larger proportion of the Republican
German We're in favor of
retaining absolute possession than was
generally presumed.

Be REFUSED ROBERTS
Republicans in the House Decide to Make the Case
An Extreme Party Question.
To Be Kept Out While Committee Makes Investigation
of Charges Against Utah Representative.

night contains a letter from William
r. Campbell of Salt Lake, in which he
attacks Senator Rawlins' position on
the question of investigating presiden-
tial nominations of Mormons to federal
office. He says:
1T is true that some of the federal
officials of this state who have been ap-
pointed By President Mckinley are po-
iygamists. We now have the proofs
and shall submit them to the president
so as to give him the same chance to
vindicate his administration by their
removal as the house will have to vim
dictate itself, when the proofs against
Roberts are submitted. We do not
blame the president for having been
imposed upon until he has had a chance
to examine the evidence. Neither do
we blame representatives in congress
for not rejecting Roberts before they
have had a chance to examine the evil
dence.
1T is not a partisan question in any
sense of the term. This is an opinion
based upon personal correspondence
which has reached beyond 10000 letters
touching every county in the United
States. since the election of Roberts
1T is clear that the American people
have mace up their minds that a polyg-
amist must not hold public office in this
country. and as soon as the president
and congress have the evidence they
will act in accordance with the man
dates of the OeOOle''

commanders of the opposing forces are

Washington. Dec. .1.-Considerable in
terest is felt here in the news that the
insurgents at Bayonbong have surren-
dered. particularly as the number is
said to exceed that captured by the
United States troops at any one time.
Bayombong is the city to which
AguinalGo at one time contemplated
retreating for the purpose of locating
the rebel capital after he was forced
to flee from Tarlac, but the American
troops pressed him so hard that he was
unable to carry out his intention.

London, Dec. 2, 4:S0 a. m--Absolute
silence has fallen over affairs in South
Africa. The war Office has not vet re-
ceived Lord Methuens casualty list.
The public and the. press, hitherto pa
tient, are beginning to murmur at the
apparently needless delay which keeps
many families in state of painful sus-
pense.
1t is regarded as practically certain
that Lord Methuen has been reinforced
by a battalion of the Gordon Highland
ers- regiment of cavalry and a battery
of ARTILLERY, and that De Aar is being
daily reinforced by troops to hold the
lines of communication. 1t is supposed
that the Natal advance has been de-
layed by the necessity of getting sup
plies to Pietermaritzburg. but not a
word emanates from any of the various
commands.
Lieutenant General Sir Charles Mans

RosFBERY TAKES ISSUE.
Depreciates Speech of Chamberlain
In Reference to France.

London, Dec Lord Rosebery,
speaking at Edinburgh this evening,
deprecated Mr.. Chamberlain reference
to France in his speech at Leicester,
and said:
I'VE have no right to go into the
cutters to fish up the derelict press of
any country and to hold it up TO scorn
or as a motive of our policy. 1t is i'm
possible that the queen could be be-
smirched by such attacks. which only
recoil on the attackers; and whatever
the degraded outburst may mean, it
does not represent the best or highest
opinion of France.
I'VE have been over-ready to f1out
other nations, and it is no wonder that
Great Britain is unpopular abroad. We
trust that this undiplomatic frankness
will cease for these singing words
rankle long afterward, and it is not for
statesmen to speak under the passing
irritation of the moment

Washington, d. g, Dec. 1.-The Re-
publicans will strive to make the Rob-
erts case an extreme party question
Knowing that the moment party lines
are drawn expulsion by two-thirds is
hopeless, they will endeavor to bring
the case up in some way that a ma
jority vote will be sufficient to deprive
Utah of representation.
An informal Republican conference
held in the room OF the committee on
interstate commerce this evening
reached this decision. Speaker-to- be
Henderson was present, and il Is ad-
United that an unwarranted and un-
Drecedented course is to be taken.
When Utah is reached on the roll OF
states, Hepburn of Iowa is authorized
TO offer protest and the clerk of the
house. who will be presiding, will ask
Mr.. Roberts to step aside. On the COM
pletion of the rollcsll it is proposed to
refer the manufactured protest of Hep
burn TO a special committee. ito be ap-
pointed by the speaker. and which viii
be packed against Roberts.
Unprecedented In History.
Members whose seats have been con-
tested have many times been asked to
step aside, but never before in the his
tory of the country has this course been
taken with a member whose credentials
were conceded to be perfect.
The Republican conspirators have not
yet formulated the plan by which they
hope to finally prevent Mr.. Roberts
from being sworn in. 1t will have to
be very skillful one to win, for many
Republicans have expressed themselves
as more than doubtful about the right
of congress to deprive a duly-elected
member es his seat.
The Democratic leaders are very in
dignant over the course taken in try
ing to make this party matter. and
the methods to be used 20 prevent the
Utah member from being sworn in.
and there VIII certainly be some very
exciting moments on Monday.
Republicans May Divide.
II is possible. however. that a major
ity of the house may vote TO ask Mr..
Roberts to stand aside. although on
the question of his title many Repub-
Leans will take an opposite position
The Utah congressman told the Her
aid at midnight that he was serenely
