When Mr. Osborne had completed his
address, at his request the recorder adj

summing up the matter, he had been
working on, the prisoner sat and lis

THE ROBERTS PROTEST.
1t is Presented in Printed Form to All
Members.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The formal
memorial and protest against the adj
mission of Brigham H. Roberts to a
seat in congress, was circulated in
printed form and placed upon the desk
of members during the day. The main
points are that Roberts is not a citi-
zen, since "At all times after 1888 he
was, and now is a bigamist and polyg-
amist," contrary to the law; that he
has been prosecuted and punished for
unlawful cohabitatioA with more than
one woman; that he was born of British
parents within the British realm and
has never renowned his allegiance to
Queen Victoria
After reciting the legal and moral
objections to Mr.. Roberts, the petition
adds that he be not allowed to take
the oath of office or to have a seat in
the house, that special committee in
vestigate the subject, and that Rob-
erts' seat be declared vacant. The
document is signed by Josiah Strong,
New York, president of League of So
cial Service, and many others.

MANY NEW BILLS.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Many bills and
resolutions We're presented in the house
of representatives today, but as formal

they were not recognized or classified.
Among the measures were those for
constitutional amendments against adj
hitting polygamists to congress, for
free homesteads in Oklahoma, for re-
classifying the railway mail service,
and admitting New Mexico to statehood,
and for many public buildings.

Connecticut Man Buys
The Towns Lead
ing Weekly.
HEEL WORKERS QUIT AGAIN.
Man Complained to Police
About Being Called
"Spaniard."

Spencer, Dec 4.-Spencer's leading
weekly paper was sold today. E. E.
Dickerman. the former proprietor, sold
it to w. H. Hamilton of Danielson, Ct.
an experienced man in the newspaper
business.
The Spencer Sun is republican in pol
itics.
Six men are employed in the press
room, and the paper had an able editor
in George H. Larchum. Mr.. Dickerman
bought this business in 1895, and since
then has brought the paper up. The
reason Mr.. Dickerman gave for selling
is that his news room and the manage
ment of the opera house keep him full
ly employed.
The strikers in the heel room of the
shoe factory will go back to work We'd
nesday. They said the reason they
went out was because Mr.. Bond wanted
to make them work on a kind of heel
they were not accustomed to making,
for 35 cents hundred. They told him
they would do them for 40 cents, but
he did not agree. They will all go in
Wednesday on their general work.
If weather permits, the Spencer foot
ball team will have a game Saturday
with the Brookfield A. A, for a purse
of money 1t is thought Spencer is a
sure winner. Two - Spencer's men
played last Saturday on the Brookfield

A. A. won.
Young men and boys have been per-
sistently plaguing ] .Foroboski for many
weeks calling him a Spaniard. He
has complained to the police and he will
no longer be addressed by the oppro-
brious epithet.

of the House, and because specific, Sc

charges of ineligibility are made
against him. A transcript of the pro-
Ceedings of the courts in Utah evil
dences the fact that the claimant was
in 1889 convicted, or that he pleaded
guilty of the crime of unlawful cohabi-

my possession indicate that ever since
then he has been persistently guilty of
the same crime and that ever since

HENDERSON'S SPEECH.
Gentlemen of the House of Represen-
tatives-The voice Of this House has
called me to grave possibilities. For
That call, I am most profoundly CRATE
tul, and 1 am keenly sensible of the
weight of the responsibilities that at
tach to this great office. | am en-
c0uraged, however, by the thought that
no member of this body can escape re-
sponsibiity either to his people or to
his country. All of us are under bonds
to do our best The approval of the
country, the approval of ones own con-
science. the attainment of results, are
not secured by contests on narrow
fields. but must be sought and won on
broad, patriotic lines of thought and
action.
1T is my duty and it will be my aim
to impartially administer the laws of
our government, but no speaker can be
successful unless he has the co-opera-
ton of the members of this House The
generous kindness that has been shown
to me by the entire membership here,
encourages me to believe that such i'm
| PROJECTIONS as I may have may be mod
| flied by the considerate and supporting
disposition Of those constituting this

OATH ADMINISTERED.

In accordance with the time-honored
custom, the Oldest member of the House
in point of service, Mr.. Harner of
Pennsylvania, administered the oath to
the speaker. The speaker then an
noUnced that the oath would be admin
istered to members by states. As the
names Of members were called, they
appeared at the bar in groups Of a
dozen. and were sworn in by the speak
er. In the Maryland delegation was
John Walter Smith, who was elected
governor of his state in November, and
who will remain in the House until he
is inaugurated governor.

ROBERTS RECORD.

IF this transcript and these affida-
Wits and papers tell the truth, the
member-elect from Utah is, in my
Judgment, ineligible to be a member of
this House Of Representatives both by
statutory disqualification of the Ed
munds law and for higher and graver
and quite as sound reasons.
Il ought also to say in addition to
what I have just said, that l have in
my possession a certified copy of the
entry under which the claimant to this
seat was naturalized. and eminent
counsel assert that if this be the rec
ord in the case this claimant is not a
citizen of the United States. I offer
and express no opinion but that pro-
position.
Mr. Speaker, if it were possible to
emphasize the gravity of the charges
and responsibility that is at this mo-
ment imposed upon this House, we will
find emphasis in the memorials, a small
part of which could be secured in this
hall, all of which are presented to the
House from 100000 American men and
women protesting against the entrance
of this man"

A resolution for the biennial seat
drawing was then adopted on the mo-
ton of Mr.. Boutelle of Maine and prep
arations Were made for this amusing
picking. By unanimous consent, Mr.
Grow OF Pennsylvania, as an eX-presi-
dent of the House and Mr.. Harmer of
Pennsylvania, the oldest member, were
granted the privilege of selecting their
seats before the drawing. They selected
their Old seats.
The members who had remained in
the lobby in the rear of the house We're
brought in by pages as each member
secured a seat. There We're flowers in
greater profusion than ever before.
Mr.. Eitt of Illinois, chairman of the
foreign affairs committee in the last
congress, who had a seat in the Cher
okee strip in the last house was
called carly and got a prominent seat
on the main aisle. Messrs. Cannon of
illinois, Dolliver of Iowa and Everest
of Indiana, selected adjoining seats in
the right centre of the republican side
Mr. Bailey of Texas got a conspic-
uous seat near his old place. Mr.. Rich
ardson of Tennessee got his old seat,
although his name was called late. His
colleagues reserved the seat for him.
A big tree of American beauty roses
was placed on his desk and the House,
irrespective of party, applauded vigor-
ously. The desk of Congressman elect
John r. Thayer of Worcester was bu-
ried in flowers

DEMOCRATS CONCUR.

At the conclusion of Mr.. Taylor's
remarks, Mr.. McRae dem, Arkansas
briefly expressed his concurrence in
the protest Of Mr.. Taylor. If the
charges hanging over the head of the
representatives. elect We're true, he said.
his being sworn in would be an assault
upon the American home. If true Mr..
Roberts was guilty of a violation of the
laws of the United States and of Utah.
and the charges should be investi-
gated. If they were proven true, he
said in conclusion, there should not be
vote in the House in favor of allow
ing him a seat in the body.
Meantime Roberts had advanced to
the head of the aisle and stood there
irresolutely.
In view of the objection" said the
speaker, addressing him, the gentle
man will step aside.'
Il do So" replied Mr.. Roberts, with
the understanding that by my action
l waive none of my rights"
None of the gentIeman's rights will
be lost" said the speaker, and Mr..
Roberts then retired to his seat.
There was no demonstration on the
floor or in the galleries The remain
ing members were then sworn in after
which Mr.. Taylor Immediately offered
his resolution to refer the case of Mr.
Roberts to a special committee.
The usual resolutions to inform the
president and Senate We're adopted. A
committee composed of Messrs. Paine
of New York, Cannon of Illinois and
Richardson of Tennessee, was appoint
ed to wait on the president with a
similar committee from the Senate.
After the remaining members had
been sw orn in Mr.. Taylor presented his
resolutions against Roberts.

In the House yesterday, during considera-

The first street car railway in China is
just about to be built at Shanghai, and
United States Consul Fowler at Cheefoo, in
reporting the fact to the State Department,
expresses hope that United States manu-
facturers and contractors will give this
their best attention. shanghai the con-
sui says, lis a great emporium for all
Asia, where the officials go to get their
ideas of foreign enterprises, so that if
Americans can build this road 1t will be a
valuable advertisement and have much in
huence in securing future contracts in the
east. In 1896 an American syndicate was
defeated in an attempt to secure con-
cession to build a tramway in Shanghai,
because the scheme was American" But,
Mr.. Fowler says, things have changed since
then, and he does not anticipate any OPP
position en- that ground now. The railroad
is to be twenty-three miles long, operated
by the trolley system. The consufs report
indicates how and when the proposals are
to be received.
