ENTITLED TO BE SWORN IN.
Roberts VIII Take Part In Election
of Speaker.

New York. Nov ga special TO the
Tribune from washington says: No
plans have yet been matured for the
exclusion of Brigham II. Roberts from
membership in the house of represent
atives. Mr.. Roberts credentials are
regular in form, and he is as much en-
titled TO be sworn in as a member as
any other representative-elect who may
present himself at the bar OF the house
next Monday. His right to take part
in the election of a speaker will not be
questioned by, the hold-over clerk, and
it is doubtful if any precedents can be
found to sustain the speaker thereaI-
ter in refusing to administer the Gus
fomary oath. Presidents made in deal
ing with former delegates from the ter
ritory of Utah are conceded not TO ap-
ply TO the full-fiecged representative
whom Utah as a state now sends to
congress.
Both Democratic and Republican lead
ers are seeking some method OF dealing
with the Roberts case which will take
it wholly out of partisan politics. In
doubtedly the fairest and most SatlS-
factory procedure would be TO acknowl-
edge the legality OF the Utah members
prima facie credentials and to refer
his disputed qualifications, as the con-
stitution provides. to the subsequent
Judgment OF the house.
A resolution to expel him on the
ground of his polygamous relations
would require two-thirds vote and IN
securing that majority the cooperation
of the two parties in the house would
be more conyincingly demonstrated
than in any irregular effort to juggle
him out of his eligibility on a point of
order, requiring only q majority vote.
1t is felt by the more experienced
managers on both sides that the issue
raised by Mr.. Roberts election to be
met effectively should be met in a delib-i
crate, dignified and altogether regular

LIVING HIGH AT CAPE NOME.
Coal Selling at $125 Ton, With q
Very Limited Supply.

Chicago, Nov. E.-The Records special
correspondent at Cape Nome sends the
following letter dated Nov. l:
tomorrow the last boat, the Albion,
will leave Cape Nome and from then I'M
til next June. the country will be shut off
from the outer world. There has been a
great exodus of people and most of those
who were early have gone out, those stay
ing being largely men who came down
from the upper river TO get claims. 1t
will do them little good, however. as the
country IL thoroughly covered and the
owners have gone away. so that those
coming with money cannot buy.
There will be practically no work done
this winter. as there is no wood en- the
creeks to thaw with, so that outside those
finds developed last summer. nothing viii
be known until late next summer There
are a few stampedes to creeks in outlying
districts that happened TO be overlooked
in the first rush. Recent reports from
Cape York are less favorable than the
first ones but as no work has been DONE
little is known, for certain or can be till
next summer. 7--
In Cape Nome and the outlying dis
trict along the coass-from Golofmin bay

remain during the winter. Many were
frightened by the probability of advant-
article to jump up. the price. No
conscience has been shown SO far in re-
gard to the taking advantage of the
necessity Of the people. Coal and lumber
necessities are selling at exorhitant rates.
The exodus and the arrival of late stea m
erS have made the food supply ample, but
prices are higher than at Dawson
Fuel will be the most serious problem.
Coal is selling as high as si25 per ton now,
and there is a limited supply: The beach
wood by hauling u long distance will
help out. but it is poor stuff and will be
very expensive. In Cape Nome some are
going to sled over to Golofrnin bay to
winter in the timber and some are build
ing cabins on the beach. where the drift

HITCH IN PROCEEDINGS.
United States Dissatisfied With
Samoan Islands Arrangement.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.--The United
States has declined to accept the agree
rnent as to the disposition of the Sa-
moan islands reached by Great Brit
ain and Germany. 1t was possibly the
leaking out of some information to this
effect that gave rise to the report cir
culated in European capitals recently
Of the development OF a serious hitch
in the negotiations.
As a matter of fact there is no SER
ious hitch and the reasons which in
ffuenced the state department here in
rejecting the British German arrange
rnent when It was, submitted for ap-
proval. related entirely to minor mat
tiers. and touched rather upon the form
than the substance of the arrangement
Having rejected the tentative treaty
submitted by the other two powers. our
government has in turn and at the in
stance Of TIE othsr parties prepared and
submitted a draft of g treaty which it
is hoped will be acceptable to all three
powers
This is now before the foreign offices
at London and Berlin for consideration
and it is confidently believed here that
it will receive unanimous approval Jot
differing in principle as already stated
from the original project.
