Virtually Decided by
the House Yesterday.
TO LOCK UP
The Matter OF the Charges of P0lygamy
That Are Made Against the Repre-
sentative From Utah--The Vote
Was Overwhelmingly Against Him

Washington. Dec. 5.-After an interest
by a vote of 302 to 80 adopted the reselu-
ton offered by Mr.. Taylor of Ohio yester-
day for the appointment of "a special com.
mittee to investigate the charges against
Brigham H. Roberts, the Mormon rep
resentative-elect from Utah. Previously
the house had rejected a substitute reso-
luton offered by Mr.. Richardson, the
leader of the minority, to allow Mr.. Rob
erts to be sworn in and to send the whole
case to the judiciary committee. This
substitute resolution, however, by no
means commanded the full democratic
strength. Only 81 members voted for it.
OF the 80 who then voted against the
Taylor resolution. all We're democrats, eX-
cept two, Mr.. Loud, q California republi-
can, and Mr.. Newiands, a silyerite from.
Nevada.
Roberts is not only excluded from all
participation in the proceedings of the
house until the committee reports and
the house passes upon his case. but he
is denied a seat in the hall. Whether this
will be interpreted to deny him admis-
sion within the chamber pending the dis
position of the case is yet to be decided.
The reading Of the presidents message
was completely ove~rshadowed by the
dramatic proceedings which resulted in
the action of the house today. The gall
leries We're thronged with spectators,
mostly women, who sat patiently through
the three weary hours that preceded the
debate and then waited on three hours
more until it vas concluded. The most
remarkable feature Of the debate was
the fact that Mr.. Roberts presentation
Of his W side of the case, which lasted
almost an hour, became so absorbing
that he won the sympathy Of many Of
those in the galleries and was several
times showered with applause. It was
evident that the house was overWhelm-
ingly against him and at times he spoke
fiercely and defiantly.
MI. Richardson championed his reso-
luton. During the debate Mr.. Grosve-
nor, republican, Ohio. rose to Indignantly
repel an Of Mr.. Roberts that
the president had knowingly appointed
men guilty of p~olygamy to federal offices
in Utah. ---

BOTH BADLY INJURED.

New York, Dec. Sat the quarantine
station the Red State line steamer Fries
land from Antwerp fouled with the Brit
lsn steamer Lassell, one of the Santos
coffee steamers held in quarantine. The
tflesland carried away her bowsprit and
the Lassell had a good sized hole made in
her port side through Which the water
poured and she was in danger Of sinking.
TWO tugs went alongside her and after
raising her anchor the Lassell was
beached about a quarter of a mile above
The quarantine station. There was five
feet of Watr in the hold of the Lassell
before she could be beached. The work
OF the tugs was hindered by the fact that
he deputy health offer in charge of the
l.assel would allow no one to go on board
that vessel, which was being held in
quarantine as a precaution against pos
sible infection by the bubonic plague.
When the steamer was finally beached
near Clifton, S. T., the water was ever

settle for some time.
