new congress always attracts big at

case of Representative Elect Roberts

and possibly sensational furnished the
additional attraction.
Fur hours before noon, the time for

SECOND DAYS SESSION.



Washington Dec G. After an inter
esting lebate of three hours, the house
yesterday by vote of 500 to so. adopted
the resolution offered by Mr.. Taylor of
Ohio for the appointment of special
committee to investigate the charges
against Brigham II. Roberts, the Nor
mon Representatives llct from Utah.
Previously the house had rejected a
substitute resolution offered by Mr..
Richardson, the leader of the minority,
to allow Mr. Roberts to BE- sworn in and
to send the whole question to the judi
ciary committee.
The substitute resolution by no means
commanded the full Democratic vote,
Only 81 members vo'ed for it. OF the
so who voted against the Taylor resolu-
ton, all were Democrats but two, Mr..
Loud, Republican of California, and Mr.
Newlands, Silverite of Nevada.
By the terms of the resolution Mr..
Mr. Roberts is not only excluded from
all participation in tine proceedings of
the house until the committae reports
and the house passes upon his case but
no is denied seat in the hall Wheth-
er this will be interpreted to deny him
admission within the chamber pending
the disposition of his case is yet to be
decided.
The most remarkable feature of the
debate was the fact that Mr.. Roberts
presentation Of his own side Of the case
which lasted almost an hour, became so
absorbing that hs won the sympathy Of
many Of those in the galleries and was
several times showered with applause
Il was evident that he realized that the
house was Overwhelmingly against him
and at times he spoke fiercely and de-
family.
Mr., Eobarts himself entered the hall
about ] / 80 and Immediately became the
cynosure of all eyes Just before the
house convened he took theaeat selected

MRS. BARNEY BARNATO.

The world hears very little nowadays
of Mrs. Barney Barnato, who is living
very quietly with her children in Brigh-
ton. At one time the late Mr.. Barnato
vowed that he would never rest until
no door in London remained closed
against his wife. He would, doubtless,
have made good his resolution if he had
lived, but Mrs. Barnato does not deeply
grieve over that particular part of her
loss, as she was never anxious to mix
with the English upper ten. She is
handsome. and at one time, possessed
more and finer diamonds than almost
any woman in Standardization Post.
