WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-In the Sen
ate today Mr.. Cockrel of Missouri,
from the military affairs committee, re-
ported substitute for Mr.. Pettigrew's
resolution calling for information re.
gardng the Occur D'Alene mining
troubles of last year, which was passed.
The urgent deficiency bill was consid-
cred by the Senate.
The House passed, without debate,
the urgent deficiency bill, which car
ries an appropriation of 100000.
The case of Brigham H. Roberts was
decided by the adoption of resolution
to exclude him by vote of 27S to 80.
The amendment to expel Mr.. Rob-
erts without seating him, offered by
Mr. Lacey, was ruled out on a point of
order and the House only voted upon
the resolutions of the majority and mi
to seat and then expel Mr.. Roberts
was defeated by vole of 81 to 244.
An analysis of this vote shows that
1853 republicans, 90 democrates and four
populists voted against it and II demo.
Gratis, republicans, 2 populists and 2
silver republicans voted for it. The
majority resolutions-tO exclude Mr..
Roberts and declare the seat vacant
were adopted by 27S to 80.
Mr.. Roberts was present throughout
the day and only left the hall after the
result of the last vote had been an
nounced AS he did so he gave out a
statement justitying his retention Of
his plural wives on the ground that
moral obligation WAS more binding
upon his conscience than technical
obedience to statutory law and
saying that there was little excuse
for the extraordinary efforts to crush a
system already abandoned aud practi-
cally dead. He said he was "a marty
too spasm of prejudice" He would
not, he said, attempt to run for Con-
gress again although he would go back
home with light heart, confident of

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. - General
Otis sends the following to the war de-
partment:
"Major Johnson, commanding a bat
talon Of the 10th infantry, General
Wheaton's brigade, reports from Lem

on the same day, at such hour Of the day as
the respective town committees may deter
mine; that the ballot box shall remain
open for votes one hour, and that the com
mittee base the number OF delegates upon
the vote for Governor in the presidential
year.
This was the general practice in the
State convention till 1896, when the
basis of representation was changed to
the vote in the next preceding cleo
ton for Governor, and the wholesome
provision for holding caucuses on a
uniform date was disregarded.

There is nothing in modern fiction
that surpasses, or equals, Kipling's sto-
ries, the scenes of which are laid for
the most part in India. The incidents
are derived from life in India, and have
to do with life in the army, in civil af-
fairs, and among native people al
ways interesting. The Oriental char
acter of Kipling's tales gives them
charm and fascination the story of
European or American scenes and in
cidents does not possess. Buy volume

He is a broad. minded man, as broad as
the seven days of the week, or the fifty
two weeks of the year. There would
be sunshine and breezes in the paper
he should manage, and plenty of it.
There would be golf and base ball and
rowing, all sports that are wholesome
would get their due in bis paper,-and so
would the sluggers, for Mr.. Sheldon is a
hard hitter as well as a stout and tactful
champion.
To those who know Mr.. Sheldon well
the comments OF some Of his critics
anuse rather than stir resentment.
One editorial critic may be assured that
Mr.. Sheldon "comprehends the each
ings of Christ, "-possibly better than
the editor comprehends the duties and
responsibilities of his oflice-aqd he is
"well off for common sense and sound
jude ment"-none better. In influence
over his fellowmen, he will succeed
where all others have failed. His Ca
reer supplies the evidence of this in
thousand instances, great and small.
In this respect he is close follower Of
his Master. His unknowing critics
may have less to unsay if they wait for
the evolution of the parsons expert
ment.

There is one thing the Rev. Mr..
Sheldon would not know how to do in
the management of newspaper-or
wouldn't do, and that is the same thing.
He wouldn't lie about his circulation,
actual or relative. He wouldn't solicit
advertising on circulation basis that
exists only in publishers statement.
He wouldn't procure goods under false
pretences. "The circulation liar"
would encounter his mortal adherence.

campaign from Chattanooga TO Atlanta
was holiday parade compared with
the British "dash" from Potgieters
drift to Ladysmith. 1t may be pos
sible, however, that the chief difference
lies in the circumstance that a Sher-
man is not in command, and the army
is not made up of the material that car
ried the miles of mountain ridges in
northern Georgia, encompassed and
captured Atlanta and pushed on 10 the

But what about the blood which the
heart must pump at the rate of 70
times a minute? If the heart is to be
sturdy and the nerves strong this bio cd

it makes good blood. 1t gives to men

OF the clamor of certain obstreperous
newspaper supporters of General Grout
that Mr.. Dillingham; should give his
views on national Issues, the Mortified
Ne,os says:
Governor Dillingham; conservatism, 10y
atty and valuable services to the Repubi-
can party for many years does not make it
incumbent upon him to mount a stump and
proclaim in loud voice his eternal alle-
gience to his party, or burden newspapers
with long proclamations at this early stage
in the senatorial canvass. Furthermore, in
the present unsettled national issues, con-
ditions may arise whereby the views OF to-
day cannot possibly cover the ground six or
even three months hence. 1t is quite prob
able that when the interest in political
matters Is fully awakened a few months
later, Mr.. Dillingham; will be calculating
the position Of the Republican party, while
some of the other senatorial candidates,
who fastened to get their views ON record,
will be busy explaining, remodeling and
making up revised edition of their politi-
cal views for the dear voters consideration.
One thing is certain at this time, and that IL
that the dignity with which ex-Gov. Dill
bingham has thus far conducted his canvass
is appreciated by the voters generally
throughout the State.

Bill Henry, United States consul at
Quebec, has been feeding taffy to the
Canucks and his remarks have been re-
ceived with "immense enthusiasm" up
there. The warmth of the reception
thawed out the ice on the st. Lawrence
and temporarily opened navigation, but
the mercury may fall and Bill may find
himself "amid the icebergs bound.'
The occasion was farewell banquet to
the officers of the Canadian contingent
of troops on the eve of their departure
for the South African war. Respond
ing to the toast to the health of the
President of the United States, he con-
cluded his remarks with these words:
II can tell you that all people of standing
in the United States believe that your cause
is just. OF course we have cranks in our
country, so have you; but 1 can say without
fear of contradiction that the best people
OF our country are with you, and while
William Mckinley is President you have a
friend behind you"
How long since Bill has been in the
United States? Does he take Ameri-
can newspapers? And did President
Mckinley delegate to him authority to
convey to British subjects assurances
of his friendship and fervent sympathy
in the war in which their government
is engaged? If not, oughtn't Bill to be
called down? And didn't Bill slop over
very promiscuously? II is evident
from all the press comments that Bills
disregard of the fear of contradiction
was not justified by the circumstances.

London was in ecstasy for one brief
day. General Butler had told the wait
ing English public and the rest of the
world how General Warren's night at
tack on Spion KOp had succeeded, that
the Boer garrison was small and
was taken by surprise, but that the
British loss in the assault was heavy.
Still the key to the Boer position had
been taken, the entering wedge for the
relief of Ladysmith had been started
on its mission and with heavy hammer
ing would cleave its way to the be-
leaguered town. So England was
happy, though joy was chastened by
the cost of victory in the slain and
wounded. But there were signs in the
dispatches announcing victory that
awakened apprehensions. Almost as
in response to the presentiment that
the news could not, from the circum-
stances of the case, survive the test of
time, comes the announcement today
from General Butler expressing his
sorrow that General Warren was COM
PEELED to abandon Spion Kop. So Lon
don is correspondingly depressed
again, and the circumstance that the
war office 10 Withholding details of the
ex ent of the disaster does not contrib
ute to the mitigation of the woes of the
English public. And all the world is
praying the British censorship to lift its
heavy hand and suffer the facts of the
situation on the Tugela to come to the
light.

For week the world has been kept
on the ragged edge OF expectation of
the great and decisive battle that was
to be the issue of General Buffers
flank movement. Days have passed
and the flank movement has become
stalled among the hills and ridges
north of the Tugela. The British army
is up against bill from which the
Beers command their advance. To
reach this position, General Butler
must send his soldiers over an inter-
vening space swept by the enemy's
fire, which no man could cross and
live. To escape from this dilemma
the dispatches announce that an at.
tempt would be made to cross this
deadly zone by night, and London was
up till morning awaiting news of the
issue of the night attack. Sherman's
