MOVE AGAINST ROBERTS
Proposed to Object to His Being Sworn
In.
On an Adverse Decision TO Appeal
From the Decision of the
Chair.

As the day set for the assembling Of
Congress draws near interest grows in the
case OF Mr. Roberts OF Utah. There is talk
now of he opposition to Mr.. Roberts max
ing their first move against him on the
opening day.
One Of the plans which. it is said is being
seriously considered. is this: When the
new members Of the House are being
sworn in objection Is to be offered to Mr..
Roberts taking the oath of Office. Then, If
the Speaker 0Verrules the objection to ap-
peal from the decision in an endeavor TO
get majority to oVerrule the Speaker.
This, it is contended, would eTectualIy pre-
vent Mr. Roberts taking his seat and OBJ
viate the necessity Of obtaining a two
thirds majority, which would be required
to expel him.
DisbclieNed by Mr.. Roberts.
Mr.. Roberts does not think that this plan
will be attempted.
Il cannot believe he said to a Star re-
porter, that the American House of Rep
rescntatives would descend to such a thing
l believe that the House IS too dignlffed to
follow a course OF that kind. Furthermore,
l think there are too many men in the
House who would hold IL to be an uncon-
stitutional action and dangerous pre-
cedent.
In my interview yesterday the express
sion. referring to the registration oath
under the executive amnesty as l obeyed
the law should have been as I obeyed the
oath Also, In quoting the Utah consti-
tuition, instead Of polygamy or plural mar
riages, it shouid have been 'pOiygamous
or plural marriages.
Mr.. Roberts says he has no Intention Of
making his case q party matter and that
he believes he will have supporters on both
sides of the chamber.

to continue in effect Tuesdays and

Jan. %. This movement will be good

Conditions of Trade.

\ new year rarely opens brilliantly.
Too many traders have to wait for the
demand which in the winter comes
slowly. But the Industries resist
fairly well the tendency to unlimited
expansion which some have to meet.
Speculation in products is gaining but
little. while in stocks an enormous
volume of business results in cOntin-
ually higher prices. The volume Of
payments through clearing houses is
extraordinary. 42.7 per cent. larger
than last year. 36.9 per cent. larger
than in 1897, and 51.5 per cent. larger
than in 1892, even the transactions
outside Of New York showing a gain
over 1892 Of II per cent. Specula-
ton at New York therefore cannot be
the main cause of gain. Difficulties
between holders Of material and man
ufacturers continue to hinder in some
industries. and in some may prove
seriously embarrassing, but the activ-
ity is on the whole unsurpassed hith-
erto. and the volume Of traffic is be-
yond all expectations.

small factor to most men in attaining
wealth. Industry, perseverance and
good judgment make the foundation
upon which a man builds we'll. The

men has been upon a farm. Opportu-
