WASHINGTON, November 17(S Especial 1.-The facts regard
ing the private sale of the University lands in Alabama have
placed General Land Commissioner Hermann
When asked this morning if he would issue the patents
for the sale, the General Land Commissioner said:
"I have all the papers before and intend to go thor
oughy will say this much: shall certainly
the patents present what have seen OF the
case of tremendous Importance in Alabama,
careful investigation Until find the facts con-
charges proven would not be right for to

InsurIng Columns Safety

The activity of the Beers in 'Ihis locality
would almost point to the necessity OF in
surfing the safety of the column marching
ito the relief of Kimberley from ATTACK
from this direction or from Bloemfontein.
In view of the reticence of General Bull
Ter 1t is almost useless to speculate regard
ing the report of a movement to relieve
Kimberley 1t could only be intended ito
withdraw the Beers, if possible, from Ma
tai The object of the occupation of Ali
wanonth is understood ito be to prevent the
large amount of ammunition at Herscshel
being forwarded ito jamestown and thence
to Queenstown. The Beers have noti-
fed the inhabitants that no lootdng will be
allowed
It is announced THAT the Duke of Con-
nought was among the first Ito seek en-
ployment In the war, and then offered to
waive his seniority for this purpose, but it
was not deemed expedient that an officer
so senior to Sir Redvers Butler should serve
under him. The duke was greatly disap-
pointed.
Advices from Mazeru, Basutoland, dated
November A. say Chief JOEL terrorized by
false Boer assertions that the British have
been beaten in every engagement and are
join the Beers, believing theirs is The win
ming side.
The Beers are said to have supplied him
wUt4i guns, which they have accompanied
with specious promises. Those who are
aware of the Basutoland history know that
Chief Joel and Chief Jonathan had quar-
rel in their early years and have never
been on the same side, Chief Jonathan hav-
ing committed himself to British interests
Sir Godfrey Langdon, resident commander
in Basutoland, according to these dis
patches, left Mazeru suddenly on November
in order to meet Chief Lorothodi, the prin-
cipal chief of the Basutos, who is i'll and
unable to travel. Sir Godfrey was expected
to use every effort to prevent Chief Joel
taking a foolish step.
The advices go on to say:
1.-The country is full of reports of won-
derful Boer success, and color is lent to
these by the absence of reliable informa-
ton of British victories, but the chiefs rely

Washington. Dec. G.-When the clerk
called the name Of Representative Rob
erts to appear at the bar Of the house
to take the oath Of office. Representa-.
tive Taylor Of Ohio objected to his
being sworn In
Representative McRae Of Arkansas
seconded the request
Mr.. Taylor then offered a resolution
authorizing the speaker to appoint
committee Of nine members TO investi.
gate the charges preferred against Mr.
Roberts and to report the same TO tho
house. The resolution was laid aside
until after the presidents message is
read.
Very early in the day a monster
petition sNid TO consist OF seven million
names, protesting against the seating
Of Mr.. Roberts, was brought into thu
hall. II had been collected by New
York newspaper. 1tconsisted Of TWEEN.
ty-eight rolls OF names each about two
feet In diameter, encased in the Ameri-
can flag. These rolls were stacked up
in the area In front OF the clerks desk
and were viewed with great curiosity.
Later, Major Mcdowell. clerk OF the
house. ordered all except two Of the
rolls taken out into the lobby.
After the invocation the reading
clerk began calling the roll and a min
ute later the buzz had recommended,
making a noisy background for the
staccato voice OF the clerk as he called
out the names
Mr.. Roberts sat listening intently for
his name, and when IL was called he
responded "IIere" in loud voice. But
he looked nervous and ill.at-ease.
When the name OF Brigham II.
Roberts was reached In the house roll
call, the Utah member.elect proceeded
alone 10 the area in front OF the
speakers desk, and awaited the ad.
ministration OF the oath.
Al the same time Representative
Taylor OF Ohio secured recognition, and
amid breathless interest protested
against the swearing In Of Roberts, on
the ground OF his being a polygamist
and not properly naturalized Ameri.
can citizen. Mr. Taylor spoke calmly
and dispassionately. Mr.. Roberts
stood gazing intently at him aud not
once moved muscle throughout the
protest. Mr.. Taylor said,
III do 80 Mr. speaker. on my respon-
sibility as a member OF this house, and
because specific, serious and appar-
emily well.groundcd charges OF ineligi-
bility are made against him. A trans.
cript OF the proceedings OF court in
Utah evidences the fact that he, claim

pleaded guilty Of the crime OF unlawful
