ROBERTS FOR THE SENATE.

If the House Rejects Him He May Be
Appointed to the Upper Body.
New York, Dec ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: If
Roberts is finally rejected by the house,
as seems inevitable, there is a posi-
blity that he may come forward as a
claimant for seat in the senate. His
rejection by the house, it is expected,
will add to his popularity in Utah, and
it is suggested that if Quay is seated by
the senate, the Democratic governor OF
Utah may appoint Roberts to fill the
vacancythat exists in Utah's represent
alton in that body.
AS the result of a canvass made by
Quay's friend, it is asserted that 46 of
the IS senators will vote to seat him
as senator from Pennsylvania. These
figures are obtained by counting the 81,
senators now in the senate who voted
either for Corbett or Mantle and 16
others from whom, it is asserted,
promises have been obtained favorable
to Quay. Senator Chandler has called
a special meeting of the committee ON
elections to consider the case of Quay.

In the House.

In the House.
Washington, Dec. 5.-Enormous
crowds witnessed the opening scenes in
the house yesterday. The principal
interest conferred in the disposition Of
Roberts, the Mormon representative
from Utah. Those who anticipated a
sensational denoument were disappoint-
ed. The programme outlined by the
Republican leaders at their conference
Friday night was partially carried out.
The objection to the administration OF
the oath to Roberts was entered by
Tayler, of Ohio, as predicted, and he
stepped aside without protest except to
ask if by doing SO he waived any of his
rights. To this the speaker responded
in the negative. There was not pro-
test from any quarter against the objec-
ton to the administration of the oath
to Roberts, but on the contrary the only
voice raised, except that of Tayler, was
that of McRae, Democrat of Arkan-
sas, who joined with Tayler in his pro.
test. Tayler offered his resolution to
refer the case to a special committee,
and by mutual arrangement the consid-
GRAFTON of the resolution was postponed
until tomorrow, in order that the rou-
tine business in connection with the
organization might be transacted today.
Although Roberts was not sworn in
today, he secured seat. This was by
an accident, pure and simple. In the
seat-drawing lottery, no provision had
been made for Roberts, but when the
drawing was completed two others, as
we'll as himself, had not been provided
with seats, and the speaker asked and
secured from the house permission for
those members who had not drawn
seats to make such selections as they
could. Under this authority, Roberts
got seat in an obscure portion of the
hall. His daughter sat in the gallery
and watched the proceedings from be-
ginning to end.
After the election of Speaker Hen
derson and his induction into Office,
the appointment of the usual commit
tees to wait Upon the president, the
seat-drawing contest, with the usual
amusing features, went off without a
hitch. The only feature out of the or
binary was the reception of the Reed
rules as the rules for the present con-
gress. They were adopted by strict
party vote.
Seldom. if ever, have such enormous
crowds swarmed around the house to
witness the opening scenes of the SEES.
sion as besieged the doors today.
Very early in the day monster petit
ton, said to consist of 10000
names, protesting against the seating
of Roberts, was brought into the hall.
1t had been collected by the New York
Journal. 1t consisted of % rolls of
names, each about two feet in diam
eter, encased in the American flag.
These rolls were stacked up in the area
in front of the clerks desk and were
viewed with great curiosity.

HENDERSON ELECTED SPEAKER
Objection Raised to Roberts Taking the
Oath and Action Postponed Pending
Report Of Special Committee.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Appropriate
tribute to the memory of the late Vice.
President Hobart was paid by the sem
ate today at its first session of the seth
congress Monday. The session lasted
only 33 minutes, and only the most
formal and necessary business was tran
sacted. After the adoption of the usual
routine resolutions and the administra-
ton to the new members of the oath OF
office, SeweI (Rep. N. J.) presented
fitting resolutions upon the death OF
the vice-president, the resolutions were
ordered to be communicated to the
house of representatives, and the ses-
sion, on motion of Kean (Rep. N. j.
was suspended.
As usual on the opening days of con-
gress, the senate chamber was verita-
BILE conservatory. Pending the actual
convention of the senate, tho chamber
presented most animated and pictur-
esque scene. The galleries were nlled
with brilliant and distinguished aud
fence.
Two protests were filed, one against
the seating of Quay and the other
against Clark, of Montana.

A Buddhist TempIe.

The only Buddhist temple in Ameri-
ca, and the best-equipped shrine of it's
kind outside of those countries profess
ing Buddhism as their faith, has been
opened in the new museum building at
the University of Pennsylvania.
NO attempt has been made by Pro-
fessor Sommerville to reproduce the ex-
terror of Buddhist temple, but large
room in the museum has been fitted up
with materials purchased during the
last six years of priests in charge OF
these temples in Eastern lands. 1t
has been Installed at the university that
all may form an idea of such place
or worship, While through its complete
ness MongoHans and Buddhists gener-
ally Will recognize a shrine where they
may perform their accustomed acts of
devotion
AS visitors pass through the yesti-
bule of the temple proper there bursts
upon them scene of Oriental splendor
the glare of searchlights bringing out
the glistening effect of the golden del
ties, richly embroidered panels and
highly colored hangings.
The most noticeable features after
entering the sammon, or outer gates.
are the three guardians protecting the

canons and doctrines of the Buddhist
faith, of which one is supposed to Sc

tern where worshipers rinse their
mouths and wash their hands before
entering the presence of the Buddha:
the prayer-wheels, by the turning of
which supplications are supposed to
reach the deity: the god Benzuru, who
cures all pains by the sufferer rubbing
the corresponding part of the deity: the
shrine or holy of holes, and the stand
or gong for securing the attention of
the gods.-Correspond of the Bal

False Substitute for Opium.

Several weeks ago it was announced
by Texas journal, which made some
pretense to scientific knowledge. that
a new drug had been discovered that
afforded a cure for the opium habit. 1t
was alleged that the plant from which
the drug was derived was named
'husa," and that its essence was the
most diffusable stimulant known. 1t
was said to act as a sedative, but not as
a narcotic. The story was told in
such a convincing way that some of
the northern medical papers reprinted
it. 1t now appears that Professor
John Uri Lloyd of Cincinnati, has been
Investigating the subject. He sought
from the manufacturer of the CONNER
cia1 preparation, both specimens of the
plant and samples of the stuff the Tex
an was selling. No amount of persua-
sion served to secure any "husa"
leaves. But the compound which was
said to be made from them was ex-
a1nined carefully, and it's ingredients
were all easily identified. There was
good deal of water, a little glycerine,
some alcohol, a considerable amount of
of salicylic acid and from 1.3 to % per
cent. of morphine. 1t thus appear RS
that the "husa" is a fraud, and the
man who has foisted TIE story about
it on an unsuspecting public might also
be mistaken for one on dark night

SEEKERS FOR KNoWLEDGE.
Some Curious Books That Are Ask.
er for in Public Libraries

A young woman, possibly from Gov
ernor Rollins State, recently asked one
OF the attendants at the public library
on Copley Square if she could get "a
book which told of Christ and had Cen
esis and Exodus in it, The attendant
suggested the Bible, and she said:
Perhaps that is the book want
IhlS, without doubt, is an extreme
case, but in a way it is in line with
hundreds of absurd questions which are
asked the attendants at the library each
day-Sunday included.
An attendant must not only have q
pretty thorough knowledge of books
but also of human nature. for among
Boston's cultured citizens there are
many who are not so cultured. BUT who
flock to the library to get the Same
partly from the attendants and nart1v
from the books which are placed In
their hands An attendant must also be
a sort of mind-reader, and this latter
quality should be included in the Civil
Service examination; it is more import
ant than a knowledge of Greek. for no.
body but a mind-reader could guess
what this young woman meant when
she asked for:
''The number of Walter Essman.'"
She meant Robert Elsemere."
The young man who called for
Shakespeare "Jimlet" was not so bad
because it was easy to see that he
meant Shakespeare's Hamlet"
But it took a mind-reader to find out
what the young man wanted who
blandly called for Charles by Dick. Tt
was discovered that he wanted one of
the works OF Charles Dickens
