Writes an open Letter on the Seating
Of >Mormonist Roberts-Aslss Aid
From the Association Of spanish
War Veterans.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Adjutaut
General Liller, Of the Spanish War
Veterans, has received the following let
ter from Miss Helen Gould, dated NO
vember 2;
IF the matter commends itself to
your Judgment, and you have not al
ready taken an interest In the Roberts
question, 1 hope you may feel willing 10
do 80. Mr.. Roberts, It seems, has at
least three wives, and advocating and
practicing a principle he does, he should
not, we women think, be allowed to have
a seat in the highest law-maklng body
of our land. We realize that we
cannot carry the weight with congress-
men that communications from voters
would have, and we earnestly hope that
men who sympathIze with the move
ment will be willing to write to their
congressman or circulate petitions.
81 have never before taken any active
part in any political question, but this
movement Is OF the protection Of the
home and of women throughout the
country, and am glad to use the little
influence for what 1 believe to be right
eous. ] trust you will pardon me for
troubling you, but you soldiers have
been 70 good to me. venture to call
your attention to the matter that inter-
csts me deeply. Enclosed you Will find
some of the leaflets on the subject issued
by the League for Social Service"

south last evening. A large number Of
men left nt the same time. Some OF
these behaved badly towards the wo'
men. Entire confidence is stlll reposed
here in General White and his staff,

Another dispatch from LadysmIth
says the Beers have proclaimed the up

The British transport NInevah ar

the New South Wales Lancers from

municipal authorities and the popn'ace.
The presence of the Lancers was
eagerly seized upon at once as affordlnS
the people of Cape Colony an opportu-
nifty OF showing their gratitude for the
help rendered by a sister colony. The
news Of the losses at Ladysmlth caused
an unmIstakable depression, especially
when coupled with the fact that the
Beers invaded the colony almost sim
ultaneously. The Dutch Of the colony
