PROCEDURE IN ROBERTS CASE
CONGRESSMAN WILL TAKE SEAT
SAYS WASHINGTON POST.
If a Resolution of Expulsion Is In
troduced or a Petition, It Win
Go to Committee For Action.
Special to The HeraId.l

4 Washington. Oct. S.-The Sunday
Post has an extended review of the
Roberts case. based ON the assertion
that the action Of Miss Gould in signing
her name to a public protest against
him has again focused public opinion
on the case. The Post says:
Mr.. Roberts will be sworn in with
his colleagues on the first Monday in
December. His credentials cannot be
attacked on the ground of iryeguEarity.
On the other hand, the right of the
HOUSE, to be the judge of the election re-
turns and qualifications of its members
is a constitutional one, and cannot. of
course, be abridged. No limit is set in
the constitution upon this authority. If
a resolution demanding the expulsion Of
Mr. Roberts should be introduced in the
house, or If a petition to the same e6-
feet should be resented-aith01gh it is
said that this can only be done as a.
matter of priyiIege-the case would
then go before the committee on priv
iIeges and elections or the committee
on judiciary, as the speaker might de-
eide.
That committee could either pigeon
hole the paper or it could summon Rob-
erts before it and hold an investigation
for the purpose of ascertaining the
facts. IT, it decided that Roberts ought
not to remain a member of the house
it could report a resolution declaring
the seat vacant, and if the report was
adopted by a two-thirds vote. Roberts
would cease to be a member. No doubt
seems to exist as to the power of the
house to expel Mr.. Roberts if it sees fit
to take such action.
MIR. Roberts would, however, it is
now asserted, appeal the case to the
supreme court on a mandamus to COM
pei the clerk of the house to restore his
name to the rolls. The latter official
would undoubtedly plead that he was
merely the agent of the house, and his
demurrer would probably be sustained.
But the court would probably in view
of the Importance of the question. also
decide upon the right of the house to
expel a member whose offense was one
against morals. The number of expuI=
sions from congress is very few. 1t is
said that hitherto all cases in which
the expulsion of members has been Sc
riously entertained have rested upon
charges of bribery. corruption OF tFea-
son. No case identical with that Of MIR.
Roberts exists in the history of CON-
gress."

the merits of the boats. There was
wind enough for a couple of hours to
furnish a test, the first real test of the
week, and while it lasted the boats were
under equal conditions. the Shamrock
did the better work. That is the rea-
son fol. the rise in the Shamrock stock
today, She is good in a run dead be-
fore the wind. She is good in a beat to

is undecided, but the impressions are
against her on this point of sailing.
There was another high northeaster
today, and Sandy Hook waters We're
churned up in fine style. On Tuesday
the struggle will be resumed
Captain Barr spent the best part of
his day on board the Columbia Mr..
Isek;n left Saturday night with his en-
tire party of Corinthians, and when
the captain rose this morning it was to
the task of looking after a number of
things which Nh. Iselin himself ordin-
ariiy. attends to.
+ All the Columbia's sails were unbent
on Saturday night, but at that time it
was expected that one of the morning
tasks would be to set them again. The
Sunday trial has always been d feature
up to this time. The state of weather
today spoiled all hope along that line,
and the men did not mind the depriva-
ton.
Stripped of her canvass the defender
looked very bare. She was headed into
the gale, or as much of it as got inside
the Hook, and the man forward ON
watch kept under the lee as well as he
could.
Columbia Sailors Confident.
Captain Barr spent most of his time
below. Altogether the day was a
dreary one. There was nothing left for
the men TO do but to loll on the tender
and wish for a breeze on Tuesday. Last
Sunday they had plenty of visitors,
who cheered the boat. These crafts
were missing today. The Sandy Hook
boat came alongside and those on board
saluted the defender. The Hook was
deserted today, except for the newspa-
per boats. In spite of all the past fiz-
zies, the sailor men on the Columbia
still seem confident of success. The
presence of the Shamrock near by sim
ply makes them more firm in their be-
lief of victory when the real trial
comes.
The race of Saturday operated as a
tonic on them all. Up to that time they
had heard so much about thei1, skipper
being outgeneraled that some of them
may have begun, perhaps, to fear that
there might be something in it. The
Saturday race came to their mind, how
ever showed them a different phase.
and every one on board felt they would
show the English shippers yet what
was possible.
The men had no other comment to

Prominent Anti-Expansionists Or

New York. Oct. s.-BoIton Hall today
gave out a statement concerning the
formation Of a new organization or
which he is temporary secretary which
is to be known as the American
League.
The purpose of the American League
is to oppose the growing warlike spirit
in she United States. A meeting has
already been held and a. platform
adopted, which. first Of all. reaffirns
the doctrines Of the declaration of indie
pendence and says that others as well
as the people of the United States
should come under it's benefcence. Its
third and last clause says
We adhere to- the American idea
that government derives its just power
from the consent Of the governed" and
the conclusion ISL We are therefore
opposed to- the use Of force iii the ex-
tension of American Institutions
Among those named by Mr.. Hall as
subscribing to- the principles of the
league are Carl Schurz. Edward NJ
Sheppard WI. Bourke Cochran. Rev. G.

favor Of a peaceful solution had not
awaited.
The Free State, Mr.. Steyn said, was
still prepared TO tender its services to
procure solution of the difficulties
on fair and reasonable lines. It felt
hampered, however, by want of knowl-
edge of the definite objects and the ex-
tent of the desires or demands of the
imperial government, compliance with
which the government considers itself
entitled to insist upon, and the grounds
upon which such insistence was based.
and further by the fact that notwith-
standing repeated assurances that the
imperial government does not wish to
interfere with the internal affairs of
the Transvaal or to disturb its indie
pendence, it has pursued policy
Justlfying contrary conclusions.
Franchise Question Magnifed.
The Free State, says Mr. Steyn, can
not conceive it possible that a differ
ence regarding the franchise or repre-
sentation can justify the extensive and
ever increasing military preparations
being made upon the borders, not only
of the TranSVaal, but also upon those
of the Free State, and ist-therefore re-
luctantly compelled to conclude that
they must be intended to secure oh
jects knowledge of which might in
duce the Free State to make repre-
sensations to secure their attainment.
In conclusion, President Steyn saws
he trusts the imperial government may
see its way clear, pending further ne
gotiations, TO stop further movements
for the increase of troops, and that he
would be glad to be favored with the
views OF the imperial government re-
sarding the precise nature and scope
OF the concessions or measures which
1t suggests as necessary or sufficient
to secure satisfaction and a permanent
solution of the existing differences.

Sir Alfred Miner that he deemed i.

excitement of the burghers. arising
from the continued increase and move

expressed his conviction that the ac-

make ON the race. The policy of those
in charge of the defender is not to talk
at all, and the men follow the implied
instructions to the letter.
The programme of Monday is one of
rest. The men will do some little work
in the line of making surer, but it is
not expected that the Columbia will go
out to sea at all, and the energy will
be reserved for Tuesdays race.
Sir Thomas Upton spent the greater
part of today on board the old schoon-
er-yaeht America as the guest of Lieu
tenant Colonel Butler Ames. He arose
early, notwithstanding the fatigue from
yesterdays race, and after breakfasting
spent a couple of hours reading the
newspapers. Then he went on board
the America. in one of the Erin's
launches, in company with Sir Henry
Burdette, Right Hon. W. J. PiTrie and
Mrs. Pirrie Charles Robsell, DR..

The staunch old boat was sailing at
her best in the stiff breeze, and the
party enjoyed the outing very much.
Mr.. Ratsey was glad to get on board
the America, for he had heard much
from his father about the craft that
came over from America to England
forty eight years ago and captured tine

When the America was on the other
SIDE Mr.. Ratsey's father saw the craft
frequently and got his first ideas about
building sails that would set fatter
than the type of English sails. which
were cut baggy at that time. The elder
Ratsey was following the same voca-
ton that his fathers had followed for
generations befcre-that of sail max
ing, and he admired the America so
much that he had a. model made which
is in the Ratsey office to this day.
When the America came back to her
anchorage, at 2 o'clock, Sir Thomas
signaled for his launch, and came over
to the Associated Press yacht Wanda.
After greeting those on board, Sir
Thomas first words were: Isn't it
singular that we always get a strong
breeze after q race day."
The owner of the Shamrock, when
seen later by an Associated Press rep
resentative, ON board his steam yacht
Erin, said he would like to have a
strong breeze for the contest on Tues
day, so that the two boats could finish
a race, for if they did not do so pretty
soon he would have to build a house on
Sandy Hook. He mentioned dispatch
