FOUND ROBERTS GUILTY.
UDanimous Statement by House Corr NIT
tee-Dfffer In Mode of Dis
barment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.--The SPECIAL
committee of the house of representa-
tives to investigate the case of Brigham
II. Roberts, of Utah, reached Il final
conclusion. On the polygamous status
of MIR. Roberts the committee was
unanimous and agreed upon formal
statement of facts. On the question of
procedure to be adopted the committee
was divided. The majority, consisting
of all the members except Littlefield, OF
Maine. and De Almond, of Missouri,
favored exclusion at the outset. Messrs.
Littlefield and De Almond will make a
minority report favorable to seating
Roberts on his prlma tacie rights and
then expelling him.
The statement of facts found by the
committee was as follows:
We find that b. H. Roberts was elected Us 3
representative to the Fifty sixth congress
from the state of Utah and was ut the date Of
his election above the age of % years that he
had been for more than seven years natural
lied citizen of the United states and WAS an
inhabitant of the state of Utah.
We further find that about 1873 he married
Louisa smith, his first and lawful WI G. with
whom he has ever since lived as leh and
who, since their marriage, has borne him six
children.
That about 1885 he married as his plural
wife Celia Dibble, with whom he has ever
since lived as such and who, since such mar
rage has borne him six children. OF whom the
last two were twins. born August II, 1881.
That some years after his said marriage TO
Cola Dibble he contracted another plural
marriage with Margaret G. Shipp with whom
he has ever since lived in the habit and repute
of marriage. Your committee is unable to fix
the exact date of this marriage. 1t does not
appear that he held her outas mis- 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 are generally known in
Utah, publicly charged against him during his
campaign for election and We're not denied by
him.
That the testimony bearing these facts
was taken in the presence Of Mr.. Roberts, and
that he fully cross-examined the witness +,
hut declined 80 place himself on the witness
stand.

PUERTO RlcANs IN WASHINGTON

They Want Open Markets and Extension
of Mortgage Suspension.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-The advance
guard of the Puerto Rican delegations
reached Washington in the persons of
M. Amedeo. NJ. Gonzales and M. Solo.
mon, the latter acting as interpreter.
These gentlemen claim to represent the
agricultural interests of the island, and
their main purpose is to secure open
markets for sugar, coffee and other
Puerto Rican products, and especially
an extension of the present decree
under which the foreclosure OF mort
cages was postponed.
Through the aid of General Davis,
the delegation secured an appointment
to appear before Senator Foraker's COM
mittee this morning. They We're also
seen by Secretary Root. They laid
stress on the fact that within two days
the decree suspending the foreclosure of
mortgages would expire, and besought
him to prevent the ruin of the planters
by an immediate extension of time.
Secretary Root has taken the matter
under advisement.
Today, it was expected, there will
arrive another delegation from Puerto
Rico. made up of delegates from the
chamber of commerce, who will take
the opposite view of the mortgage ques-
ton.

David ID. Hill and 1904,

Some wonder is expressed at the course
of David B. Hill in leaving New York in
the heat of the campaign and visiting Vir-
ginia on a stumping tour. There was no
partisan call for him there. Virginia is
one of the states where campaigns between
republicans and democrats, except in spots,
are out of date. Democratic aspirants for
office wrangle in the primaries, but on reg
uiar election days everything is all one
Way The polls are manned by demOcra tic
officials. and the size of the democratic ma
jority is easily determined. The only Gues-
ton ever at issue is making the majority
bear a persuasive relation to the occasion
and the voting list. The desire to make
the returns unanimous is always repressed
out of respect to appearances, but COM
Portable democratic majority Is always a
certainty.
Some wonder is expressed at Mr.. Hills
choice of topic. Why the Dred Scott de-
cision of the Supreme Court? Why shunt
silver. government by injunction. militarism
and all the rest of the party's creed. and
bark back half a century? Or If it was
necessary to bark back at all, why not
full century. and then select the alien and
sedition laws? Was Mr.. Hill-a gold man.
a distinguished lawyer with respect for The
supreme tOuTl anu q leNel-nedUeQ man
above the abbe about the Pretorian
guards-really reduced to a choice between
the Dred Scott decision and the weather? If
so, he made shrewd choice.
For be ii remembered that Mr. Hill IS a
candidate for the presidential nomination
of his party in 1894 and wants the sup
port of the south in that contest. The
lower southern states will probably be solid
then. as they now are. In that latitude
the Dred Scott decision is still profoundly
revered. 1t represents the construction that
IS still placed down there on the Consttu-
ton. So that when Mr.. HILL journeying at
this time out of his way, quotes that de-
cison adniringly and approvingly before
Virginia audiences he appeals strongly for
southern support. And he may get it. He
as much as assures his friends OF the south
that had he lived in that day and been a
leader in the party. his sympathies would
have been with the south in her contention
about slavery and the territories.
But of course Mr.. Hill Is counting his
chickens before they are Matched. 1t Is a
little early to begin TO figure on 1904 If
Mr.. Bryan is elec:ed he will again be his
partys candidate that year. II he is de-
feated. the contest for leadership in the
reorganization of the party will be the pit
terest and the most stubborn ever con-
Quoted in our politics.

The Chinese Court.

Minister WI formally announces today to
the State Department the receipt of infor-
nation that the imperial court of China is
now on its way to Singan Flu, the newly
chosen capital. in the province of Shen Si.
This may be taken for the time as effect
ually disproving the suggestion that En-
peror Kwang Su had cut loose from the
dowager empress train and had remained
behind al Ia Tung when the court party
proceeded to Tai Yuan, from which orders
were given for the preparation Of the i'm
perial palace at Singan Flu. 1t is impos-
sible for the powers to recognize the en-
press dowager. She has no status in inter-
national questions. save as an individual.
She is generally regarded as a virtual
usurper Of the throne although she has
not laid claim to the title of empress, nor
has she ever sought to exercise imperial
authority her own account. Her hand
has been visible in all the Vaccinations Of
the past five or six years at least. She has
been a dominant factor at Pekin for a
much longer period. 1t was she who effect
ually curtailed the emperors power at the
time of the palace revolution, when the re-
formers fled for their lives. 1t was she
who received the ladies of the diplomatic
colony at Pekin when after a long series Of
negotiate the court consented to admit
them into the sacred precincts. But her
name Is not signed to the documents Of
state and 1t would be revolutionary and
unprecedented for the government of the
United States, or any other, to address her
directly or to assume that she possesses
real power in the Chinese economy. Her
status must be fixed by indirection. 1t Is
to be hoped that Minister Congers inquiry
as to the punishments will In some manner
bear upon this matter and permit action
which will bring Emperor Kwang Su to the
point of determining his future govern
mental accountability and the precise part
which his aunt is to play hereafter.

The French Note on China.

The more il is studied the palmer the
suggestion that the latest French note to
the powers respecting China goes too far.
1t proposes a sort of suzerainty over the
fi0wery kingdom. The conditions mentioned
would leave China at the mercy Of out
Sders. If her coast defenses were razed.
and her importation of arms stopped and
for the future interdicted. she could not be
accounted an independent state. II the
powers may go that far, why not farther?
Why not administer on the affairs of the
kingdom outright? In the end. and maybe
at no distant day, it would come to that.
But there is something practical and rea-
sonable in the suggestions about legation
guards at Pekin. and foreign control of the
route between Pekin and Tien Tsin. For
some time 10 come some such arrangements
will certainly be necessary. The present
unfortunate conditions in China not TO
be expected speedily TO change. The storm
broke suddenly and Unexpectedly, but there
is every evidence that it had been gather
ing for long period. And although the
show of outside force has been prompt and
successful and the real leaders of this
Boxer movement have been undeceived as
to their ability to drive all foreign devils
out of the country and keep them out, such
relations as existed before this outbreak
occurred between the Chinese people and
the civilized people residing in that coun-
try will be slow of re-es establishment. 1t
will be years before either the merchant or
the missionary will feel very comfortable
at any distance from the seaports of the
kingdom.
But re-established and streng thened over
past conditions those relations undoubtedly
will be- The civilized powers will not
abandon their treaty rights In China, and
under them win press on toward opening
the country to commerce and modern
modes of living. They will keep their rep
resentatives at the Chinese capital. and
very properly will take steps for their per-
sonal safety and for the satisfactory dis
charge of their official duties. To the ex-
tent, therefore, that these ends may be
secured. and with that object only in view,
the French note bearing on those points is
meritorious deliverance: and the Presi-
dent Will do we'll to submit the matter as
it is reported he intends doing to Con-
gress And that Congress will acquiesce
seems most likely.

Close of the TrauSyaaI War

The war in the TranSvaai is over. OF
that there can be no sincere doubt. The
Boer armies are scattered: the great ma
jority of the men have returned TO their
farms: the leaders. with few exceptions
are In flight. The former president of the
South African republic is a fugitive on
neutral soil. There are no extensive cam
9aigns and the fighting is confined to opera
ions of a few flying columns of British
troops working against mobile bands of
guerrillas. In consequence OF this condi-
,ion. 1t is now reported. Lord Roberts is
about to issue proclamation announcing a
state OF peace, dating from October H. the
anniversary of the commencement of the
