ed that the crack company Of the San
Pedros had the snappiest captain they
ever saw, and that, with far better ma
terial to choose from, and more zofSit,
the varsity wouldn't stand ghost ofa
show in the eyes of the professional
judges unless Billy would ''brace up
and take hold" Billy was willing as
Barkis, but the faculty said it would
put premium on laxity to make Billy
a varsity captain, even though the pres
ent incumbents were ready, any of
them, to resign III his favor. "Prex''
said no in no uncertain terms; the chal-
lenge was declined, whereat the rival
institute crowed Justify and the thing
got into the papers. As a result select
company Of student volunteers was
formed; its members agreed to drill an
hour daily in addition to the prescribed
work, provided Billy would take hold'
in earnest, and this was the company
that, under his command, swept the
boards six weeks later and left San
Pedro's contingent ap amazed and dis
gusted crowd. Then Billy went to
metaphorical pieces again until the war
clouds overspread the land; then like
his fathers son he girded up his loins,
went in for commission and won.
And here he was Sub" in Uncle Sans
stalwart infantry with three classmates
serving under him in the ranks and half
a dozen more, either as junior officers
or enlisted men, in the camps of the
volunteers. He was q handsome boy,
healthy. hearty boy, and, as boys go,
rather good boy-a boy in whom his
mother would have found, had she not
long since been lifted above the cares
of this world, much of comfort and
more to condone, but boy, neverthe-
less, who had given his old dragoon of
a dad many an anxious hour. Now,
just as he neared the legal dividing line
between youth and years of discretion,
Billy Gray had joined the third bat
talon of his regiment, full of pluck,
hope and health, full of ambition to
make name for himself in profession
he loved as, except his father, he GER
tainly loved nothing else, and utterly
scofhng the idea that there might come
into his life a being for the sake of
whose smile he could almost lay down
his sword, for he had yet to meet Amy
Lawrence.
"Who are the women folks up at
headquarters, Billy?" asked a youth of
his own years and rank, peering eagerly
through the drifting mist at the dim,
ghostly outlines Of the generals camp.
Didn't get to see 'em. Where's the
old man-the colonel?" was the reply.
"Chief wants him toot de sweet" u:

quickly forward, he held forth the

at the cards.

HARSH TOWARD RoRERTs.
Majority Report Uses Harsh Terms Con.
eerning Utah's Congressman.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The full re-
port of the majority of the committee
elaborates the summaries and in some
parts uses strong language against Mr..
Roberts. As to hi, plural marriages
it says:
prior to 1882, B. II. Roberts had
married one Louisa Smith. She has
borne him six children ana lis still
living.
About 1885, when Utah was fairly
ringing with the blows of the Ed
munds act of 1882; while numerous
prosecutions were going on, and after
the supreme court had passed upon
the validity of the act; when the
American people supposed polygamy
had received its death blow; when no
man of the many whose cases went to
the United States supreme court pre-
tended the provisions against polyga-
nous marriages were invalid; with all
these facts insistently before him,
brigham II. Roberts took another
wife, his first polygamous wife, Celia
Dibblc by name, who in the following
twelve years bore him six children
This second wife he married in de-
fiance of the Edmunds law He spat
upon the law; he declared by his act
that he recognized no binding rule
upon him of a law of congress; he de-
clared by it that he recognized high
er law
1.-The congress of the United States
was to him an object of contempt. The
supreme court of the United States
might declare the law for others, but
not for him. He laughed at its futile
DEGREES ana spurned it's admonitions
"The executive which had declared
in solemn message its qualification
that polygamy seemed gone forever he
de6ed and despised.
'Of what consequence to him were
the laws of congress and declarations
of the highest court and proclamations
of presidents, in his sensual interpret
alton of a sensual doctrine?
''But he had not yet sufficiently pro-
claimed his utter contempt for the su-
preme court, for congress and its most
solemn enactments A few years
later he took third wife.
THAT b. Ii. Roberts's persistent,
notorious and defiant violation of one
of the most solemn acts ever passed by
congress, by the very body which he
now seeks to enter, on the theory that
he is above the law, and his. defiant
violations of the laws of his own state
necessarily render him ineligible, dis
qualified, unfit and unworthy TO be
member of the house of representa-
tiyes. And this proposition is assert
ed not so much for reasons personal to
the membership of the house as be-
cause it goes to the very integrity Of
the house and the republic as such"

EXCLUDE ROBERTS.
COMMITTEES SO DECIDE BY A
VOTE OF TO 2.
Statement OF Facts Agreed Upon unani-
mousiy-Minority Favored Seating and
Then Expetling tho Utah Man.

Washington, Jan, 10.-The special
committee OF the house of representa-
tives to investigate the case Of Brig
ham IL. Roberts of Utah has reached
q final conclusion
On the polygamous status of Mr.
Roberts the committee was unanimous
and agreed upon a formal statement
of facts. On the question of procedure
to be adopted the committee was di-
vided.
The majority, consisting of all the
members except Littlcfield of Maine
and DeArmond of Missouri. favored
exclusion at the outset Messrs. Lit
tlefield and DeArmond will make a
minority report favorable to seating
Roberts on his prima facie rights and
then expelling him.
The statement of facts found by the
committee is as follows:
I'VE find that B. H. Roberts was
elected as n representative to the Fif
ty-sixth congress from the state of
Utah, and was at the date of his elec-
tion above the age of 25 years; that
he had been for more than seven
years naturnlized citizen of the
United States and was an inhabitant
of the state of Utah.
"We further find that about 1878 he
married Louisa Smith, his first and
lawful wife, with whom he has ever
since lived, and who, siuce their mar
riage, has borne him six children.
about 1855 he married as 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 which the last were twins,
born August II, 1897.
That some years after his said mar
riage to Celia Dibblc he contracted
another plural marriage with Margaret
G. Shipp, with whom he has ever since
lived in the habit and repute of mar
riage. Your committee is unable to fix
the exact date of this marriage. 1t
does not appear that he 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 dnriug his campaign for
election and were not denied by him.
That the testimony bearing on these
facts was taken in the presence of Mr..
Roberts, and that he fully cross-exam-
ined the witnesses but declined to place
himself on the witness stand"
A resolution to report in favor of
seating Roberts aud then expelling him
was voted down. A resolution to ex-
clude him carried as follows:
Yeas Tayler o., Freare. Morris and
MCPHERSON Republicans; Lanham and
Miers, Democrats
Nays-Littlefeld, Republican, De-
Almond, Democrat.
Chairman Taylor was authorized to
prepare the majority report, and it will
be ready within two or three days and
will come before the house some time
rext week.

Many Are Filed as IA Result of tn 4 spanish
War

Washington, Jan. 20.-A large num-
ber of claims for pensions are being
received by the pension office as re-
suit of the Spanish war. Statistics
prepared by the bureau show that the
percentage of applications from volun-
teers is much larger than from the
regulars. The battle Of San Juan was
selected by the bureau as basis for
calculations, as the greatest number Of
casualties occurred there. There were
1872 regulars killed, 1,0o7 wounded and
thirty-five missing, Claims for pensions
from the regular army number 2,oe9.
At that battle thirty-four volunteers
were killed, III wounded and forty Ave
missing. The claims for pensions from
volunteers number 1858 There were
twenty-three regular regiments and
three regular batteries engaged in this
fight, as against nine regiments of vol
unteers. One regiment lost none in
killed, wounded or missing, but has 4l0
laims 70 pensions pending.
