ROBERTS CASE.
! Investigating Committee Will Hold
Preliminary Meeting Tomorrow.

Washington, Dec. Representative
Taylor of Ohio, chairman of the spe-
cial committee to investigate the case
Of Mr. Roberts of Utah, has called a
meeting of the committee for II o'clock
tomorrow morning. Mr.. Taylor says
this initial meeting will be to determine
upon a general line of action. He could
not say how soon the committee would
be able to report. While the chairman
would not speak for the committee. he
said he had no doubt that Mr.. Roberts
would be allowed to be present. with
counsel, if he desired, and would be af-
fOrded the usual facilities to have his
side presented. There are a number of
witnesses in Washington and some in
Utah. but it is probable that the COM
mittee Will not leave Washington. Mr.
Taylor said he had some doubt as to
whether the hearings, particularly such
parts as involved family matters,
should be open to the public.
Mr.. Roberts was about the house dur
ing the day. There was no session. and
he was engaged most of the time in
chatting with groups of members and
visitors. who showed a friendly dispo-
sitiOn toward him. He said he had no
comment to make on the course of the
house He viii probably look after his
interests in person before the commit
tee on inquiry.

.RATIONS REDUCED
Garrison at Ladysmith In a
Bad Fix.
Much Sickness Prevails Among
the Troops.

London. Dec "a budget of news
from Ladysmith which arrived today
brings the history of the beleaguered
garrison up to November %. In spite
of the rumOrs of q retrograde move
ment upon the part of the Beers the
stories just received show that the gar
rison although still strong, was suffer
ing from confinement restricted diet
and the increasing volume of the Boer
artillery fire, especially that of a heavy
calibre gun placed in position 5000
yards from the western defences. The
dispatches relate that the Beers had
discovered the most vulnerable points
of the garrison and that shelling was
becoming disagreeably effective.
The ratOns had been reduced and
there was a great deal of sickness.
Nevertheless the troops of the garrison
were in every way preparing to meet
the assault Which 1t was anticipated
the Beers would carry out in a final
effort to reduce the city. The belief
was current in Ladysmith that the
Beers were preparing for a retTOgrade
movement after another attack Sew

to have been seen November % NOV

however, that the Beers We're preparing
to dismantle their gun positions, but
the idea was prevalent in some
quarters of LadySmith that the COntin-
ued shelling of the place was intended
to cover the retirement of other BOeF
forces towards the TranSVaal frontiers.
The Pretoria dispatch Cof Saturday,

near COlenSO, fifteen Beers We're killed
and many wounded. The road bridge
across the Tugela river is intact.
The same message reports that Pres

FOR QUAY
FOrty-six Senators Out of a
Total of S5.

New York. Dec. GA special to the
Herald from Washington, D. c., says:
As the result of a canvass made by
Mr. Quay's friends since the senate
convened it is asserted that forty-six
seat him as senator from Pennsylvania
These figures are obtained by counting
the thirty senators now in the senate
who voted either for COrbett or Man
tie and sixteen others from whom, ii is
asserted, promises have been obtained
favorable to Mr.. Quay.
Senator Chandler has called a spe-
cial meeting of the committee on cleo
tiOns to consider the case of Mr.. Quay
on Thursday.
Mr.. Chandler would like to have the
case disposed of at one sitting. As
the committee has already passed upon
practically the same principles involved
in connection with the Corbett and
Mantle cases, he can see no reason for
long discussion.
As a vacancy exists on the committee
however, and the two parties are ar
ranging for the TeOrganiza tiOn of all
Quay case will be disposed of until the
committee has reOrganized. There is
some talk of increasing it's membership
and if this be done. Republican leaders
will try to have the new Republican
members favorable to Mr. Quay and
thus assure a majority report in favor
of seating him.
The fact that majority of the Penn
sylvania legislature, Republicans and
against the seating of Mr.. Quay will be
used for all it is worth by his OppOn-
entS and indications are that the fight
will be bitter and long.
