The committee retired to the lobby

two other members af the committee
In this order the procession moved
down the main aisle. the members on
either side rising and cheering. Mr..
Richardson in neat speech introduced
the Speaker, who addressed the House
as follows:
"Gentlemen of the House Of Repre-

RESOLUTION Goes OVER TILL TODAY,
Both Houses Organize and Adjourn
Early as Tribute to Late
Vice President.

Washington. Dec. Autonomous
crowds witnessed the opening scenes
in the House. today. The principal in
terest centered in the disposition Of the
case of Mr.. Roberts, the Mormon rep
resentative from Utah. Those who an
ticpatcd a sensational denouement
We're disappointed. The programme
outlined by the Republican leaders at
their conference. Friday night, was
partially carried out. The objection
10 the administration Of the oath to MI
Roberts was entered by Mr. Taylor Of
Ohio, and Mr. Roberts stepped aside
without protest. except to ask if ny do
ing 50 he waived any Of his rights. To
this the Speaker responded in h. mega
tive.
There was no protest against the Oh
lection to administering the oath to
Mr Roberts ana Mr.. McRae. Dem, Of
Arkansas, joined with Mr.. Taylor in
his protest Mr.. Taylor offered his res
ulution % refer the case to 4 special
committee. but the consideration Of the
resolution was postponed until tom"r-
row in order that the routine business
in concction with the organization
might be transacted. today.
Although Mr.. Roberts was not sworn
in. today. he secured a scat. This.
however, was by an accident. In the
seat drawing lottery no provision had
been made for Mr.. Roberts. but when
the drawing was completed two others
as well as himself had not been pro
Vidcd with seats and the Speaker Sc
cured from the House general permits
sion for those members who had not
drawn seats to make such selections as
they could. Under this authority Mr..
Roberts got a seat in an obscure por-
ton of the hall. Mr.. Roberts was the
observed of all observers throughout
the day. His daughter sat in the gal
Iery and watched the proceedings from
beginning to end.
Early in the day a monster petition.
said to consist of 1000, 600 names, pro-
testing against the seating of Mr.. Rob

two feet in diameter, in the American
flag. These rolls were stacked up in
the area in front of the clerks desk
and were viewed with great curiosity.
Later Major Mcdowell. clerk Of the
House. ordered all except two OF the
rolls taken into the lobby.
The election of Speaker Henderson
and his induction into office. the ap-
pointment Of the usual committees to
wait upon the President. the seat

ing features. went off without a hitch.
The only other feature out of the ordi-
nary was the adoption Of the Reed
rules for the present Congress. The
Democrats knew it was futile to more
than protest against the adoption Of
these rules after the Republicans had
decided upon this course in caucus and

A NIGHT RETREAT
Give British the Victory in
Modder River Battle.
fiercest Fighting Failed to DisIodge
Beers from Their Positions.
But. Alarmed for Next Days Fighting, They
Retreat In the Night.

London. Dec. 4.-The later details re-
ceived from Modder river seem to show
that even the desperate courage the at
lacking force displayed all day long
(Nov. 20 failed to drive the Beers from
their strong Entertainments and night
fell on an undecided battle. But APP
parently during the course of the night
Gen. Cronje, commanding the Beers.
who are now said to have numbered
10000 men. decided that the struggle
was hopeless, for the British found the
town and surrounding positions evac
uated when daylight broke and the
whole British army crossed the river
and encamped on the Boer positions.
The experts here are unanimous in
expressing the opinion that Kimber
ley's needs must be very pressing to
induce Gen. Methuen to expose the
whole Of his command to the Boer
marksmen. snugly entrenched in
semi circular position. So deadly was
the fire that the Scots Guards We're
compelled to leave their Maxim guns
behind when they We're forced to seek
less exposed ground.
1t was only after dusk that a portion
Of the British troops succeeded in
crossing the river by a mill dam on the
extreme left. When night fell the Boer
artillery fire was still as vigorous as in
the morning. but the Beers retirement
in the night saved the situation for the
British. The British troops We're too
exhausted to pursue the enemy.
The Beers retired without any sign of
disorder. carrying off their guns and
equipment. Thus Gen. Cronjes force
is still intact. But the fact that Gen
Methuen and Col. Kekewich are now
in communication may cause recon-
sideration Of the Boer commanders
plan to give battle at Spyfontein, where
he might lie simultaneously attacked
by both British forces.
1t is reported that the Modder river
bridge has been repaired and that the
British resume their march towards
Kimberley, today.
