just left Branchyille when Messengers
Ramsey and Rhodes were covered with
two revolvers. One messener was
made to stand with his hands over his

the robbor pulled the bell and jumped
off as the train slowed up. The con-

tramp, signaled the engineer ahead.
When the train got under way the mes

The car was a combination baggage

Washington, Dec. 5.-Enormous
crowds witnessed the opening scenes in
the house yesterday. The principal
interest centered in the disposition of
Roberts, the Mormon representative
from Utah. Those who anticipated a
sensational denoument were disappoint-
ed. The programme outlined by the
Republican leaders at their conference
Friday night was partially carried out.
The objection to the administration of
the oath to Roberts was entered by
Tayler, of Ohio, as predicted, and he
stepped aside without protest except to
ask if by doing so he waived any of his
rights. To this the speaker responded
in the negative. There was not pro-
test from any quarter against the objec-
tion to the administration of the oath
to Roberts, but on the contrary the only
voice raised, except that of Tayler, was
that of McRae, Democrat of Arkan-
sas, who joined with Tayler in his pro-
test Tayler offered his resolution to
refer the case to special committee.
and by mutual arrangement the consid-
Grafton of the resolution was postponed
until tomorrow, in order that the rou-
tine business in connection with the
organization might be transacted today.
Although Roberts was not sworn in
today, he secured seat. This was by
an accident, pure and simple. In the
seat-drawing lottery, no provision had
been made for Roberts, but when the
drawing was completed two others, as
we'll as himself, had not been provided
with seats, and the speaker asked and
secured from the house permission for
those. members who had not drawn
seats to make such selections as they
could. Under this authority, Roberts
got seat in an obscure portion of the
hall. His daughter sat in the gallery
and watched the proceedings from be-
ginning to end.
After the election of Speaker Hen
derson and his induction into Office,
the appointment of the usual commit
tees to wait upon the president, the
seat-drawing contest, with the usual
amusing features, went off without
hitch. The only feature out of the or
dinary was the reception of the Reed
rules as the rules for the present con-
gress. They were adopted by strict
party vote.
Seldom, il ever, have such enormous
crowds swarmed around the house to
witness the opening scenes of the ses-
sion as besieged the doors today.
Very early in the day monster petit
tion, said to consist of 7,000,0 900
names, protesting against the. seating
of Roberts, was brought into the hall.
1t had been collected by the New York
Journal. 1t consisted of 28 rolls OF
names, each about two feet in diam
eter, encased in the American flag.
These rolls we're stacked up in the area
in front of the clerks desk and were
viewed with great curiosity.

Vancouver, B. c., Dec. 6.-This city

excitement today by the detention at

oped that the stranger, who is q Hin

Cairo, Dec. 4.-Onicers from the
Soudan who have arrived here say that
when General Wingate's force overlook

the Anglo Egyptians, but failed. See
ing his position was hopeless, the kha-

die. He then spread a sheepskin on
the ground and sat down ON it, with
the emirs on each side of him. The
khalifa was found shot in the head,

port that the German governors of the

Der 3. They garrisond the places with
l o men each. The Spanish governors
of Yap and Ponapi said they considered
the small German garrisons in danger

MRS. Major Price. He says he has
been ILL., but is now in fairly good
health. The Spaniards befriended him
and gave him money and clothes.
The Americans left Namapacan, prov
ince OF Union, this morning, expecting
to have fight at Tagudin, in South
llicos, but they found, ON arriving
there, that 600 rebels under General
Tino had evacuated 80 hours before
deserting an almost impregnable posi-:
ton.
The residents of Tagudin received
the Americans outside the town with
brass band. They had been robbed of
almost everything by the insurgents,
and were glad to welcome friendly and
protecting troops.
A similar reception awaited General
Young at Santa Cruz. IA
The inhabitants of Santa Cruz and Of
other towns through which. the Ameri,
cans passed say that Aguinaldo and his
entire refugee army have gone into the
mountains eastward since the Oregon,
