state, namely, that pOlygamOus mar
riages should 10 longer be contracted.
In particular, Mr.. Roberts eontended
there IS no requirement by congress
or in the constitutional convention that
previously contracted matrimonial as
sOciatiOns should be interrupted
In the course Of his argument, Mr.
Roberts said he had observed that the
ladies involved in this question of
plural wives were quite generally re-
ceived in the circles of Gentle ladies'
in Utah. He vehemently denounced
what he characterized as the sensa-
tiOnal crusade made against him, and
also the effort to arouse public feeling
by saying the American home" was in
danger.
IF necessary" he exclaimed, Z could
call attention to 10000 evils which
threaten the country, without going to
the state of Titan"
Patriotism of Mormons.
In closing, Mr.. Roberts said that pa
triOtism of the Mormon church toward
the country could not be questioned.
When a fund was raised for the surviv-
Ors of the battleship Maine, the Nor
mon church had contributed one-fifth
of the entire amount. When the cOun-

Mr.. Schroeder, the Gentle representa-
tive, stated that no further point would
be made on Roberts naturaliZa ion pa
pers, as it was desired to exclude him
from congress specifically and solely on
the ground of his being a pOlygamiSt.
Amenable TO Edmunds Act
After the arguments closed, members
of the committee attached some import
ance to the question asked by Chair
man Tayler of Roberts, relative to the
latter being amenable while in the Dis

It is understood special attention may
be given by the committee to this fea-
tuTe.
At 1880 the arguments on both sides
were closed, and the committee went
into executive session. At the execu-
tive session IL was decided to close the
hearings and the testimony, unless ex-
Secretary Carlisle desired to be heard

The committee then adjourned until

Colonel Plumer had at mis- disposal
about 2,000 men, if the news is correct,

Washington, D. c., Jan. 6-Repre-
sentative Roberts completed his argu-
ment before the house investigating
committee this afternoon His entire
presentation has been exceedingly cred
liable to him, and has undoubtedly
made a strong impression on the com
mittee. This hne peroration in behalf
Of the Mormon church and the Mormon
people was much appreciated. even by
a committee known 10 be hostile to
him.
Throughout the entire consideration
OF his case Mr.. Roberts has borne him
self with great dignity, and whatever
the result Of the contest may be, he has
gained many sincere admirers in Wash
ington.
The final argument in the case viii
be made next Wednesday, when Mr.
John G. Carlisle will make the final pre-
seutation for the storm starters, and
Mr.. Roberts viii speak for himself. as
he has done since the beginning Of this
contest.
VIII Be minority Report.
The committee viii undoubtedly re-
port against Mr.. Roberts title. It is,
however, now certain that there will be
q minority report. 1t VIII be signed by
at least three members Of the commit
tee Judge De Almond. Representative
Lituefeld OF Maine and r. E. Miers
Indiana.
The minority report viii favor the
swearing in Of Roberts, but win prob
ably not deal with the question of his
expulsion. It viii be drawn chiefly by
Representative Littlefield (Rep0 Of
Maine who has taken q rather pro-
nOunced position during the hearing.
1t is probable that this minority re
port may receive quite a strong sup
port in the house. Many members who
are hostile to Roberts believe that he
should be sworn IN, but there ia no
probability thar a majority of the house
VIII vote to give him his seat, even
temporarily.
