By Q private letter from the smelling

ton in the rates Of freight from Palissde

free Of charge. This is q considerable de-

ROBERTS PLEA.
SAYS HE is NOT GUILTY OF
CHARGES PREFERRED.
Demur- to the Right OF the Conmltte to
Try Him-Does Not Attempt to Dis
prove Charges, but Bases His
Defense on Legal Grounds

Washington, Dec, -. The consid-
Grafton of the case of Mr.. Roberts of
Utah was resumed at TO o'clock this
morning, Mr.. Roberts being pres
ent to answer certain specific inter.
rog atories.
Mr. Roberts was first asked If he con.
ceded the existence of the court record
wherein he pleaded guilty in 1889 un.
der the Edmunds- Tucker law. This
he conceded
lie was next asked whether about
1887, or since 1890, he had married plu-
raj wives aud had lived with them
since as wives To the whole of this
charge Roberts pleaded not guilty and
then demurred to the jurisdiction Of
the committee, for the following rea-
sons:
tirst-On the ground OF violation of
constitutional rights, in that it at
tempted to try him for crime without
presentment of indictment by grand
jury and without due process of law.
Second-That it was an attempt to
deprive him of vested property that
he held in the emoluments of an office
for the full term
Third-That the only evidence that
could rightfully be considered in the
committee was court record, and
then establishing the guilt, confessed
n 1F H. II.
aud that the committee has no right
to consider any other evidence
Fourth-That the crime alleged,
namely, unlawful cohabitation, even if
proven. would not constitute a suffi-
cient crime to bar memb or deprive
him Of his seat, because innocence of
polygamY or unlawful cohabitation is
nowhere enumerated in the constitu-
tion as qualification for the office Of
member of congress, nor is it named in
any United States law applicable to
Utah or any other state
Mr.. Roberts argued these points ror
nearly two hours, referring to law
books and answering queries 1t was
legal controversy throughout, the
facts not being gone into at length.
Mr.. Roberts concluded by asking that
his prima facie right to a seat be at
once considered, as the present status
denied to a sovereign state representa-
tion in the house OF representatives
when injurious legislation affecting
that state might take place

HE EARNED HIS MEDAL.
Heroic Act of stoker on a British
Warship.

Towards the end OF the year 1897
the British torpedo-boat Thrasher,
with its mates Lynx and Sunfish left
st. Ives on passage to Falmouth. On
the way the Thrasher grounded on q
point, causing serious injury to the
boilers and the bursting of the main
feed-pipe The burst pipe instantly
filled the stokehold win scalding
steam. In 1t were two stokers, Ed
ward Lynch and James Paul. All the
rest of the boats company were land
ed on the rocks, but the doubling up
OF the deck had prevented the egress
OF the stokers by the starboard hatch
way. There was still port hatch
way. which was partially closed, and
towards this the two men made their
way, Lynch in the lead Directly un-
der the hatehway and discharging
through 1t, was the break in the steam
pipe. Lynch rush through it safely,
and turned to help his mate Paul.
But an instant convinced him thai
Paul was unable to follow. Then
Lynch lay down on the deck with his
head and face in the escaping steam,
seized hold OF the sinking Paul, and
by a remarkable exercise of force and
tenacity drew him up on the deck.
Lynch then rose to his feet, but 1t
was observed that he was badly scald-
ed about the head, arms and upper
part Of the body. The surgeon began
to apply oil and wool to his burns, but
he repelled the attention. I'm all
right" he exclaimed, "look after my
chum He's very bad," He had said
nothing about the way he had rescued
Paul but his manly conduct led the
surgeon to investigate, and it was as
certained that in order to rescue his
comrade, he had plunged the whole
upper part of his body into what was
practically a boiling cauldron. More
than this. it appeared that Lynch had
previously sacrificed his own chance
Of escaping from the stokehold the
other way in order to stay with Paul.
In recognition Of this act of selfsac-
rifice and bravery, Lynch was pre-
sented with the Albert Medal OF the
first class, which Is given primarily
for gallantry in saving or attempting
to save life az sea, and in some cases,
for similar acts ashore.

British Defeated at ssormbers.

London, Dec. 1.-THE British force
nnder Gen. Gatacre has been repulsed
by the Beers near Stormberg. 1t is
hardly too much to regard the repulse
IS the most serious defeat British arms
have sustained in the whole campaign.
Already the official advices show that
two men were killed, nine officers and
seventeen men were wounded and nine
officers and 500 men are missing
But it is evident that the worst is
not yet known. The proportion of
wounded and killed is SO small when
compared with the missing who are
undoubtedly prisoners in the hands Of
the Boers-that the supplementary list
Of casualties is awaited with serious
misgivings. 1t is feared that there
were serious losses of guns and arma-

HEAVY DEMAND FOR MONEY.
Fifteen Per Cent Ruled in Early Wall
street Transactions.

Fifteen Per Cent Ruled in Early Wall
street Transactions.
New York, Dec. 11.-There was great
demand for money today, IS per cent
ruling for some early transactions A
large bank which has made heavy
loans, marked up those outstanding to
10 per cent and scrutinized closely the
collateral offered for new transactions
at higher rates. One Wall street bank
required from 90 to 25 per cent margin,
besides 10 TO 10 points to spare on the
stock, for 500, OoO loans.
Fifteen or 20 per cent of good indus
trials were accepted on this basis where
the borrowers name was satisfactory.
In all, from So. GOO 900 to $40, 600, 900
was called and paid off: then s., 900, 900
or 1000 900 loaned at 6@7 per cent;
large supplies then loaned down to
per cent. Sterling exchange advanced
4 per cent for demand bills.
While bankers were puzzled over the
money situation here and abroad, the
prediction was made that demand bills
would rule higher throughout the
week, with no prospect, however, of
touching the exporting point. One of
the largest foreign exchange houses re-
ported today's rate as fully , cents be-
low the figure at which gold, under
present conditions could be proftably
sent abroad.

Still the idea of the two dead men.

would come before me again and again,
and could have groaned but for dread
OF some similar response that might
make my heart wither up and my
flesh creep. And creep II soon did;
for, just as this horrid idea OF an over
strained fancy, fostered by imagina-
ton and fashioned out of the silence
and darkness. became strongest within
me- what were my emotions-how
painful the throbbing of my heart-on
beholding a strange, green, CHASTITY
light glimmering about, and playing
within each of the side berths.
While shrinking into corner OF
the cabin, with eyeballs straining. |
gazed at them alternately with spe-
cies of horrid fascination The two
lights were weird, waYering and pale:
they seemed to me as two warnings
from the land of spirits, for they play
ed upon the curtain and in the recess
of each berth port and starboard In
which dead man had been found.
And while these lights shone, there
came upon my ear the palpable sound
Of heavy breathing and snorting, as
from the oppressed chest of some one,
close by me.
Il placed my hands upon my eyes
and on my ears to shut out these hor-
rid lights and sounds; but when I
looked again the former had diseap-
peared, and all was Opaque darkness.
"On putting forth my hand to rise,
cry of uncomfortable terror escaped
me-a yell that rang in wild echoes
through the silent polacca-when my
fingers came in contact with something
icy. and then a cold clammy, and wet
head of hair!
Then two glistening eyes seemed to
peer and to glare into mine!
I'm horror and bewilderment. and

half fainting, reached the deck OF the
polacca Then | turned to find that
the object which had excited so much
dismay was no other than my poor dog
Hector which had swan off to the brig
in pursuit of me-
The eyes that in the dark seemed to
glare into mine, were his; the icy OBJ
ject from which my fingers shrank,
was his honest black nose; and what
seemed a wet head OF hair, was his
own curly front; while the lights-the
mysterious lambent lights that had
ficekered about the dead mems berths,
proved to be nothing more than the

through the two stern windows OF the

swung to and fro little with the
