WILL ATTEND CAUCUS.

A special dispatch from Washington
says: Representative Roberts, of Utah,
whose admission to the House of Repre-
sentatives will be opposed on the ground
that he is polygamist, was elected as Il
Democrat, and much interest is felt as to
his treatment by the Democratic caucus
He says: II shall certainly attend the eau
Gus. l have been duly elected to Con-
gress. l was elected us Democrat by
Democratic voters, and there can be no
question as to my right to attend the eau
Gus"
Much as some Of the Democratic Repre-
sentatives would like to have Mr.. Roberts
refrain from attending the caucus, it is
not believed there will be any effort to rule
him out. There is no question about his
having certificate of election to Con-
gress, and he has the same rights in a
Democratic caucus as any other Demo
cratic Representative elect.
A call has been issued for a meeting of
the Republican members of the House to-
morrow night, in the rooms of the Com
mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce, prior to the regular caucus for the
nomination of the Speaker and other
House officers. The object of the meeting
is to determine, if possible, on some line
Of action in regard to the seating or un
seating of Representative Roberts. 1t is
desired to relieve the Speaker of rcspon-
sibility in the matter, if a way can be
found, and even if no definite action is
taken at the meeting it is probable a
course may be mapped out which will
meet with the appreciation of the Republi-
can rank and file.
The widespread agitation on the Rob
erts case and the general feeling that he
should either be refused his seat or, if
seated, should be unseatcd as soon as pos
sible. puts the majority in somewhat Of an
embarrassing position. Miss Helen
Gould's interest in the matter has had
much weight with many OF the members,
and it is said she has retained former
Secretary Carlisle and former Senator
Edmunds
1t is significant that while a majority of
the members who have expressed their
views have advised an impartial invcstiga-
ton, none of them in conversation have
any hesitancy in saying that should the
case prove to be as represented Roberts
will be expelled. But probably the most
experienced parlamentarian in Washing
ton predicted that majority could not hc
obtained against admitting Roberts to his
seat, and that after admission the neccs-
sary two thirds to cxpcl could not be Sc
| cured

In its comments on Thanksgiving
Day the Baltimore San of Yesterday
said: ''But it is not all gloom with us
There must be a way out of the dark
clouds Of un-Americanism which now
cnvclop us, and that way may in due
time be disclosed by the Ruler over the
destinics Of nations. And in the mean
time there is much for present thanks
giving. Since the last Thanksgiving
Day peace with Spain has been de-
clarcd, seed time and harvest have come
and gone, and the fields have welded
abundant crops, and there is no lack
of food and raiment; the wheels of in
dustry have been in motion; no pcsti-
lencc has visited our shores and no
tumults have come nigh lis or our
dwellings. For all these blessings we
have to thank benign Providence;
for the perils and dangers which
threaten us we are indebted to the
greed or ambitions Of men. Let us be
thankful for one and pray for deliver
ancc from the other, and so shall the
day be one of prayer and thanksgiv-
ing, And the people will cat their
turkey with undiminishcd Appetizer

A SPIRIT OF IMPROVEMENT.

Some time ago we suggested the adj
visibility CT forming local Improve
ment Society here with the view of adj
vertising our town and doing some
thing for its material good. There
could bc no more auspicicus time than
the incoming year The new railroad
will have its line perfected. and begin
operations upon very extensive scale.
Undoubtedly there will be great deal
of travel between Washington and
Chesapeake Beach and thus our sec
ton will be brought, more than ever
before: to the attention Of strangers.
Home seekers will investigate the adj
vantaccs which the respective places
along the line can offer. Situated, as
this town is, about midway between a
great city and the scashorc-lcss than
fifteen nilcs from cach-it should afford
an ideal place for summer homes. 1t
could offer the advantages of churches,
schools and society. 1t is in con-
vcnicnt distance of the city and the
Bay. People living here could enjoy
all the advantages of the seashore and
avoid the disadvantages. With fro
qucnt train service persons could with
perfect convenience conduct business
in Washington.
What then can be done to procure
this desired prosperity and improve
mcnt here? In the first place, get
capitalists interested in the possibilities
of the power afforded by the Western
Brench, which could he utilized for
electricity to light the town, and also
for running Touring mills or other fac
tories. The same expenditure Of CAPT
tai that would utilize the water power
Of the branch will at the same time
surround our town with beautiful fresh
water lakes, thus adding to the health
lulncss of the community and aliording
in course of time, bountiful supply
of fish. This is a project that has been
pronounced hy persons capable OF
judging, as entirely practical. All
that is necessary is to get capitalists
interested, and this We can do by slow
ing spirit of enterprise oursclvts
We hope cur citizens will think over
this matter, and mature plans that may
will hc a work that would bring many
blessings to us and our children.

BLOODY VICTORY.

London was startled last Wednes day
by news of what is probably the bloodiest
battle so far in Il South African war.
The battle was fought at the Modder
river "A miles south of Kimberly, by Gen
Lord Paul Methuen's British army, esti-
mated to number 1000 men, and Boer
army, commanded by Gen p. A. Cronie,
which General Melhuen estimated at
5000 men.
The fighting began at dawn Tuesday
anG lasted nearly all day General
Methucn, in his official report, SAYS he
''made the enemy quit his position" He
gives no details as to losses, but says the
fighting was "desperate.'
\ dispatch received at Windsor Eng
land, and attributed to General Mcthuen,
says the battle was the "blOodiest of the
century" This is manifestly incorrect
as at Gettysburg and other battles in the
American Civil War, not to mention some
which have occurred in Europe in the
present century, the loss was heavier
than the total number of men engaged on
both sides at MOdder river. In the battle
of Gettysburg the Union army lost % DOB
i'll killed, wounded and missing, and the
Confederate loss was 20 al

The ASST gnmcnt made by Harper 4
Brothers, one of the oldest, largest and
most widely known of American Pub
fishing houses, will cause establishment
to the whole reading world, says the
Philadelphia Times. There has been
much talk Of late of change of owner
ship in the concern and it was known
that the survivors of the old firm had
found it advisable to give place to
younger men with new ideas and new
business methods; but the extent to
which this great and seemingly pros
porous establishment Lad been running
behind could not have been suspected.
The correspondence transferring the
property and business to trustees re-
veals that the property is mortgaged
to Mr.. Morgan for advances to the
amount of three and half millions of
dollars and that the unsecured liabili.
llcS 0:HCuHG W Two more.
These figures are prodigious, and they
give some idea Of the outlay involved
in the publishing business under the
demands Of modern competition.
OF course the assets of the concern
are correspondingly large and the
earning capacity of its various publica-
tions and periodicals is enormous; but
it is not surprising that the new prcsi-
dent las declined to undertake his task
without some kind Of financial reorgan-
ization. The American public las a
pride in the well-earncd fame of the
Harpers and tie further steps in the
career of the great house will be
watched with anxious interest.
