WILL LOSE HIS SEAT.
Opinion OF Congressman Graft On the
Chances of Roberts.

Peoria, HIS, Nov. 21.-Congressman
Joseph V. Graft of the Fourteenth dis
trict said today: THE question of the
religious belief of Representative Rob-
erts is not important. and his morals
themselves night not be a matter of
important bearing upon the question
of his expulsion from the house of rep
resentatives. Mr.. Roberts, in the be-
ginning of the discussion of his polyg-
amous practices not only admitted that
he was a polygamist, but boosted of
that fact, and seemed to think that his
taking this position openly and after
wards retaining his seat would be in
terpreted as an acknowledgment by the
people of the country of giving polyg-
amy some degree of recognition.
Accepting this as true. the country
has concluded TO take issue with Mr..
Roberts upon his position. Therefore.
the retaining OF Mr.. Roberts in his seat
in congress involves an issue upon the
subject of polygamy.
Il shall vote TO unseat Roberts, and
use every effort in that direction. The
purity of the home is the foundation of
the state. and therefore no question
which is likely to come before congress
goes deeper into our welfare than this
l believe it will not be partisan ques-
ton, and the necessary two-thirds will
be found voting in favor of his expul-
sion"

OBJECTS TO MIR. MACRUM.
Kruger Says American Consul Is Too
Friendly Toward England.

London Nov 21.-Callers at the Unit

that the United States was no longer
able to forward messages or send in
formation regarding the British prison.
ers, President Kruger having refused
the request to allow Consul Macrum to
transmit a list of British prisoners.
Though Macrum apparently still re-
mains the nominal agent of Great Brit
ain. he is practically deprived of all
powers pertaining to the position.
1t is understood President Kruger OBJ
jected to Mr.. Macrum on the ground
that the United States claims to neu-
trality were prejudiced by her evident
friendship for Great Britain. All COM
munications to the British prisoners
now GO through the ordinary military
channels, which renders their ultimate
delivery doubtful and certainly slow.
The British government so far has
taken no steps to ameliorate the pres
ent condition of the prisoners. a gov
eminent official informed a representa-
tive of the Associated Press that he did
not see any good in trying 10 get any
other power to act in their behalf, as
President Kruger would doubtless treat
it's representative in the same manner
that he had treated the representative
of the United States. Moreover, the
official added: 1T is not likely that
President Kruger will be there long, If
we did ask any other power TO get in
behalf of Great Britain it would be pos

state department to give orders for the
execution OF the official programme so
far as the government is concerned. Mr..
Hay sent a private message to Mrs.
Hobart expressing his sincere condo
lence and then gave his attention to the
preparation of a proclamation announc-
ing the death OF the vice president to
the people of the United States. 1t was
also necessary TO convey the informa-
ton to the nations of the world.
This was the regular cabinet meeting
day and the members gathered at the
White House at IL o'clock. but the
death of the vice president overshadow-
ed all else and public business was not
mentioned. All the members of the
cabinet, especially Attorney General
Griggs, showed the emotion which they
felt Attorney General Griggs said he
would leave for Paterson Immediately
after the cabinet meeting. The attor-
ney general and Vice President Hobart
were probably closer than any TWO men
in public life in this administration
The flags over the public buildings
were half masted early in the day
Beyond this there were no outward evil
dences of mourning and no drapings,
rs q law OF congress mas put an end 10
the former practice of draping the pub
lie buildings on the death of an execu-
tive officer. All the executive depart
ments will be closed ON the day of the
funeral.
Attorney General Griggs left this af-
ternoon for Paterson. He goes as the
personal representative of the president
and cabinet and will arrange with the
family of Mr.. Hobart for the funeral
The entire matter is left in his hands
so far as the official features of the
ceremony are concerned.
Sergeant-at-armS Bright of the SEN
ate, after consultation with President
Pro Tempore Frye, decided that in
stead of sending the usual limited COM
mittee TO attend the ceremonies, that
each member of the senate would be
requested to be there as one of the COM
mittee of the whole. He accordingly
sent the following message to several
senator's:

President Mckinley ard Members of
Cabinet Greatly Grieved.

Washington, Nov. 21.-All the flags
in Washington are half-masted, out of
respect to the memory of Vice Presi-
dent Hobart. The announcement of
his death cast a gloom over the city,
where he was loved and honored- The
news was first received at the White
House ten minutes before o'clock, in
a private message from Paterson. The
flag over the executive mansion was
hauled down Immediately tc half mast
and the mansion closed to the public.
The president was deeply affected by
the telegram announcing his colleagues

gram conveying the sympathy of him.

bart
Secretary of State Hay, upon
whom the succession to the
vice presidency now falls, heard
the news upon his arrival at the
state department and Immediately re-
paired to the White House. Meantime.
Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, and
Senator Foster of Washington, had
Joined the president and We're with him
when Secretary Hay arrived.
The secretary remained with the
president about ten minutes. He was
visibly affected when he left the White
House. He said that the president and
all his cabinet would attend the funeral.
After Senator Fairbanks left the presi-
dent retired TO his private apartments.
His close and intimate relations with
his colleague made him feel the vice
presidents death as personal bereave-
ment.
Mrs. Mckinley was greatly affected.
She gave way completely to her grief
and sobbed convulsively. Mrs. Mckin-
ley has but few intimates here and
among her most cherished friends were
the vice president and Mrs. Hobart.
President Mckinley did all he could to
comfort his wife and did not return to
his office until the members of the cabi-
net began 10 arrive.
The members of the cabinet were
made acquainted with the sad news as
soon as the president himself was in
formed by means of telephone from the
White House.

STORIES ARE CONFLICTING.
Reports of Great British Victories
Continue to Reach London.

| London, Nov. 21.-The latest direct
news from Ladysmith dated Thursday
Nov. 10 and Friday, Nov II, strangely
conflicts with the reiterated reports of
Tremendous. battles and great British
victories on Wednesday and Thursday.
Neither of the messages above referred
to though dispatched on the days fol-
lowing the date of the alleged fight,
mentioned any great fights or Boer de-
/ feats. On the contrary, both distinct
ly state that beyond a false alarm on
Tuesday evening and a little increased
Smelling Thursday and Friday, causing
little damage, everything was perfect
ly quiet and the garrison was chatting
under its enforced inactivity.
Nevertheless special dispatches from
Estcourt today enlarge on the reported
battles and insist that the Beers re-
ceived a more terrible lesson WedneS-
day than in any previous fight. Accord
ing to these circumstantial accounts the
Beers determined to attempt 10 reach
the north end of Ladysmith with a
large force but were unable to make
Roadway against the well sustained fire
of the British rifiemen and Maxims.
l. Later it IS added a British force
worked round the Boer flank causing.
the latter to withdraw under deadly
fusilade with exceedingly heavy losses.
Large numbers of dead and wounded
are said to have been left on the field
and a number of prisoners were cap
tured. The British losses are reported
to have been trivial.
OF course, reliable dispatches cor
roboratiye of the above may have been
censored or captured with the native
runners. But these tales are so fat
tering to the British that they have a
distinct flavor of being belated accounts
from Kaffir sources of affairs previ-
ously reported.
The dispatches from Ladysmith re-
porting that there is an ample supply
of ammunition there. have SEEMINGLY set
at rest a point on which there was
much diversity of opinion. ~.
Apparently the British commander at
Ladysmith believes General Joubert has
gone south leaving only a force suffi-
cient TO prevent the garrison from sal
lying out, and there is disposition in
some quarters to think General Joubert
possibly initiated the story with the
object of inducing General White to
make serious, attack or relax his pre-
cautions so as to permit the Beers to
seize ground vital to the defence of the
town.
A report from Durham. however. says
there are runors there that the Beers
are preparing 10 break camp and with
draw from the investment of Lady
smith. But it is said elsewhere that
the investing force continues to re-
ceive achievements and fresh supplies
of stores daily.
In view of the publicity allowed by
the military authorities to be given
to the alleged intention of the British
to advance via Belmont to relieve KIM
berley. it is said, il may be regarded as
probable that an advance from De Aar
will really be effected and that the
route will not be so well advertised.

than half the army corps is now on the
ground, and two transports have been
ordered 10 Durham with fusiliers and
riflemen- The relief column, when
strengthened, can hardly be prepared
to advance from Estcourt before the
end of another week. but the LadysInith
garrison is clearly secure and the Boer
artillery fire is no longer dreaded.
There is also a fresh record for
Baden-Powell's good generalship at
Mafeking. and there are indications
that the Free State forces will soon be
driven across the frontier from Cape
Colony. General Butler has rapidly dis
posed his forces as they have arrived
at the Cape and has been enabled with
out delay to strengthen every exposed
point and set in motion two relief COL
umns.

PIPES FROM EsTCoURT.
Dreams of Glorious Achievements by
the British Troops

Estcourt, Natal. Monday. Nov. 20
Rumors of a glorious victory achieved
by General White Wednesday last are
still unconfirmed. Little confidence is
attached to them, especially as the ru-
mors added that General White had
threatened to place many hundreds of
prisoners in conspicuous places should
the Smelling of the town continue.
Reports from the southwark say the
Beers are operating in pillaging parties,
who are looting stores, stealing cattle
and ransacking houses. 1t is added that
one farmer became so incensed that he
stalked a party of 160 Beers, eventually
shooting eight of them. A Boer force
occupies position on the MOOT river,
ten miles below the Mooi river sta
ton.

President Ringers Unfriendly
Attitude Toward the United
Statss-Movement of Relief Forces

London. Nov. 22.-The announcement
from Durham that Communication with
Estcourt is interrupted seems to con-
firm the belief that a Boer commando
has established itself at Willow Grange
or near the Moot river and has cut the
telegraph wires. Nevertheless whatever
definite news the. British commanders
have obtained from the scouts of the
disposition of the BOer commands in
Natal and the condition of beleaguered
garrisons particularly, nothing has
been allowed to develop for the public
information
1t is certain that, owing to the heavy
work of debarkation and entraining in
Durham, the preparations. for the adj
vance of the Ie,ief force are in
no wise as advanced as has been sup
posed. This may also be due to the
necessity of pushing stores and pro-
visions to the front in needful quanti-
ties before the troops are sent.
On the other hand the CELEBRITY with
which troops are being pushed forward
from Cape Town equally tends TO show
that all such preparations regarding
forage and provisions were already
well advanced before the troops arrived
at Cape Town.
Bound For Prison
General Methuens baggage has ar
rived at De Aar. addressed to Lord
Methuen, Pretoria, via Cape Town.
The reoccupation of Nauwpoort is
good news for the British. 1t is not
known here from what point the troops
came. but it is presumed they were
from De Aar, n which event ii will not
be long before Stormburg also is re-
occupied. Nauwpoort commands the
gap in Kikvorshberg, the last strong
fighting position south of Orange river,
and was most admirably suited to Boer
tactics.
