man to vote for the expulsion of Roberts
from congress-, if it should be found on
trial that he were a practicing polyga-
mist.
Mr.. Laughlin whose resolution on the
same matter was voted down yesterday
objected to the resolution. He said the
house had already disposed of the sub
ject matter of the resolution and under
the rules it could not again be intro
duced. Mr.. Tousley said the subject
matter differed from the previous reso.
luton and the resolution could be al
lowed. Mr.. Stevens said he understood
the senate had seen fit to pass the reso-
luton the house had rejected yester-
day, at the same time referring to the
house as the "kintergarten." This reso-
luton covered all the ground rightly to
be covered and was proper. Mr.. Bacon
did not believe it was proper to pass the
resolution. The subject matter was
practically the same as the house had
disposed of yesterday. The people of
Utah had elected Roberts-that was
their own matter. Congress was COM
posed of able men capable of Judgment
of what was best to be done. A roll call
was demanded on the resolution and it
was passed by a vote of 50 to 7.
SYMPATHY FOR H EAST.
Mr.. Laughlin offered the following
resolution, which was applauded by the
house on its reading and passed:
Whereas, the members of this house
have learned through the medium of the
daily press of the desperate and desol-
ate conditions prevailing through the
east and south because of extremely in

SALARY OF JANITORs EFT AL.
MIR. Hare introduced a concurrent
resolution providing for the fixing of the
salaries of the %janitors and doorkeepers
of the senate and house at 81 a day to
apply to those officers of the present SEES
sion. MI. Wallace and Mr.. Hare spoke
in favor of the resolution. These officers
were old soldiers, and the passage of the
bill would be a little tribute of respect
to them. Mr.. Dcisem opposed the pas
sage of the resolution. Hc thought the
present compensation was ample for the
work to be performed. Mr.. Thomas said
he had opposed other bills providing for
expenditures that he felt to be needless
and unwise and consistency demanded
that he oppose this resolution. He had
the warmest respect for all old soldiers
but he must oppose the resolution. Mr.,
Tufte cited the code to
show that the compensation of
these officers was fixed thereby and could
not be changed by resolution. A
roll call wasdemanded on the adoption of
the resolution and it was lost, q to 80.
MIR. Deisem subsequently gave notice of
a motion to reconsider, and the matter
was made a special order for today at 3
o'clock.

The special committee appointed to
visit and inspect the state institutions
was presented by the chairman, Mr..
