WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The senate
finance bill was we'll received by the
republican members of the house, who
framed the house bill.
After reading the message Taylor's
resolution was taken up. Taylor con.
tended first that Roberts conviction
of violations of the Edmunds law rem.
dered him ineligible; second, that if
since guilty of polygamy, he is still
Ineligible under that act that polyga
mist within the meaning of the deci
sion of the supreme conrt is Ineligible
independent of that statute; ard further
that the compact between Utah and
the United States justifes the house
in refusing him admission. Taylor
urged that it would be better for the
house to exclude Roberts than to ex-
pell him. The auth critics he said were
against the rights of the house to ex-
oell member for acts done prior to
jhe election.

Lord Roberts Goes co Africa to Take su.
preme Command.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-A dispatch to
the World from London says: Field
Marshal Lord Roberts will be ordered
to Cape town to take chief command of
all the British forces in South Africa,
according to rumor prevalent tonight
superseding General Butler. Lord
Roberts ranks next to Lord Wolseley,
the commander-in.chief of her mai
esty's forces. This news caused de-
cided commotion in military quarters,
which were greatly agitated by the
ordering out of 1000 fresh men under
Major-General Thomas Kelly.Kenny.
Inspector general of the auxiliary
forces, and recruiting.
Military experts think General Bull
ler has enough to do to look after
Natal. while Generals Gatacre, French
and Methuen are operating almost as
independent commanders. Continen
tai critics insist that thu Boer tactics
will land General Methuen at Kimber-
ley so weakened that he will not be
able to move toward Bloemfontein or
Pretoria, because his lines behind will
be cut by raiders. The same author
ties declare that the Free Staters can
hold Generals French and Gatacre,
while all the remaining Boers-those
in the east-will meet General Bull
ler at Tugela river and eventually
wear out Geneaal White at Ladysmith.
The mobility of the Beers is source
Of constant surprise and anxiety to the"
British authorities. The entire Brit
ish public, from royalty to the lower
classes, is plunged into amazement
and grief at the frightful LOSSES in
battle. The queen now goes about
her daily functions with red eyes and
is reported to weep and bemoan the
death of her soldiers and the terrible
ravages of war.

A BIG BATTLE
EXPECTED
1t Will Occur at TugeIa
River.

NEW YORK, Dec. GA dispatch tt
the Tribune from London says: From
Natal the press dispatches which came
through yesterday were forecasts O
the terrible battle impending on the
Tugela river. 1t is now certain tha,
the Beers are in great force on the
further side OF the river. The Boer
army, which invaded Natal, was put by
good judges at $4,000 to 10000 men.
If we accept the latter figure, and de.
duct 1000 for losses which may have
been made good by disloyal Dutch
recruits from Natal, and another
10000 for the remaining force at
Ladysmith. the total of the army con.
from ting General Bui,er may be from
$1,000 to 10000 men. A decisive
battle Is expected when the opposing
forces meet at Tugela.
LONDON. Dec. GA budget of news
from Ladysmith which arrived today,
brings the history of the beleagured
garrison up to Noyember 20. In spite
OF the rumors of retrogade move
ment upon.the par5 of the Beers, the
stories just received show that the gar.
rison. although still strong, was suffer-
ing from confinement, restricted diet
and the increasing volumn of the
Boer artillery fire, especially that of
additional heavy-caliber guns, placed
in position 5000 yards from the west.

The dispatches relate that the Beers
had discovered the most vulnerable
points of the garrison and that the
shelling was becoming disagreeably
effective. The rations had been re-
duced and there was a great deal of
sickness; nevertheless, the troops of |
the garrison were in every way pre-
pairing to meet the assault which it /
was anticipated the Beers would carry
'ut in final effort to reduce the city.
The belief was current in Ladysmith

It will reject all evidence and like
Ephraim Of old will cling to its ignor
snce and idolatry. If you would learn
all about who Abraham Lincoln, born
Enlce, was, read Mr.. Cathey's most
convincing and conclusive book. Mr..
Lincoln evidently knew who his father
was. The North spurned the strong
book Of Rev. DR.. Weston's on Marshal
Ney living and dying in North Care
lima, but it never answered the Cir
cumstantial and positive evidence to
establish It. It tc ok it out in repudIat-
Ing and scofing. That is the easiest
way to avoid answering the unansWer
able, But in spite Of all jeers and
SCOTS Marshal Ney died in North Caro-
lima and Abraham Lincoln was born
In North Carolina end was the son Of
Abraham E llce. The reader cannot
possibly imagine how satisfactorily
Mr.. Cathey's argument is until he
reads it with care.
The book as a whole is we'll writer.
The introduction is excellent, and the
chapter on Abraham Lincoln is mas
terly. The portrait Of that great man
is drawn with a steady hand, with
much vigor, and with real insight. The
book has many portraits of the Enloes
and two Of Lincoln. The price is so
