Special House Committee Reports Against

Treaties Favorably Reported to Senate

WASHINGTON, D. C. (SpeciaD spec
ial committee OF the House of Representa-
tives to investigate the case Of Brigham II.
Roberts, OF Utah, on Wednesday reached
final conclusion. The committee was unani-
NOUS on the questions OF fact and also on
the ineligibility OF Roberts to hold his seat
In the House. Seven OF them voted in ia
vor OF report to the effect that the House
was within its rights in stopping him at
the bar OF the House, and the other two in
favor OF report that he should have first
been seated and then expelled.
Those who voted for the majority report
are: Chairman Taylor, OF Ohio; Lands. OF
Indiana: Freer, OF West Virginia; McPher-
son, OF Iowa: Morris, Of Minnesota, Eepub-
licans: and Miers, OF Indiana, and Lanham,
of Texas. Democrats. Representative Lit
tleleld, OF Maine, drew up the minority re-
I,
fative De Almond, OF Missouri. The iind-
3ngs on the fact are as follows;
ave iind that b. II. Roberts was elected
as a Representative to the Fifty-siXth Con-
gress from the State of Utah, and was at the
date OF his election above the age OF twen-
ty-flve years; that he had been for more
than seven years naturaliZed citizen OF
the United States and was an inhabitans OF
the State OF Utah.
1--WE further find that about 1873 he mar
rIed Louisa Smith, his first lawful wife,
with whom he has ever since lived as such,
and who, since their marriage, has borne
him six children.
, THAT about 1885 he married rs his plural
wife Celia Dibble, with whom he has ever
since lived as such, and who, since such
marriage, has borne him six children OF
whom the last were twins, born August II,
1897.
That some years after his said marriage
to Celia Dibble he contracted another
plural marriage with Margaret c. Shipp.
with whom he has ever since lived IN the
habit and repute OF marriage. Your com :
mittee is unable to fix the exact date OF
this marriage. 1t does not appear shat ne
held her out as his wife before January,
1897 or that before that date she held him
out as her husband, or that before that
date they were reputed to be husband and
wife.
{ THAT these facts were generally known
In Utah, publicly charged against him dur
ing his campaign for election, and were
not denied by him.
'"rhat the testimony bearing on these
facts was taken In the presence Oh Mr. Roo-
,erts and that he fully cross-examined the
witnesses, but declined to place himself on
the witness stand"

SAMOAN TREATY RATIFIED,
Approved by the Senate After Two
Hours Debate.
After an Exchange of Notifications With
Great Britain and Germany We
Will Take Possession.

WASHINGTON, D. C. (SpeclaD.--Without
the formality OF roll call, the Senate rati-
fled the treaty under which Great Britain
will withdraw from the Samoan Islands
and the group will be divided between the
United States and Germany.
Six speeches in all we're made on the
treaty. three, by Senator'S Davis, Foraker
and Spooner. advocating ratification. and
three, BY Senators Bacon, Money and I'LL
man. opposing the acquisition OF more
territory by the United States. Upon the
conclusion of the speeches, the Senate, by
its vote, showed itself so Overwhelmingly
in favor of the convention that ratification
was announced without further proceed
ines.
There is reason to believe that the
administration. anticipating ratification,
has made arrangements for the extension
OF American sovereignty over Iutuiia,
Ofoo. MaQa and Rose Islands. Nothing
will be done until after an exchange OF
ratifcati0us with tho Berlin and London
Governments. when instructions Will Do
cabled to Commander B. F. Tiiley, com
manding the cruiser Abarenda, directing
him to take possession OF the Islands III
the name OF the United States.
Commander Tilley will issue proclama-
ton to the inhabitants OF the islands, SET
ting forth the purposes Of the United states
in connection with their government. Iu-
tuila will be regarded rs naval station,
and Commander Tilley will be its first Gov
ernor.
Now that the Senate has ratified the
treaty the three governments will make ar
rancements respecting their consular rep.
resentation in Samoa. The ahroSation Oh
the treaty of Berlin will naturally lessen
tha duties OF Consul General Osborn, who
will probably be recalled and consul ap-
pointed in his stead.
