Washington, Jan. 24.-There was a
great crowd in the house to hear the
opening of the debate on the Roberts
case, many Of the spectators being
women. Mr.. Roberts was the center of
attraction and appeared to realize his
position. The galleries We're packed,
chiefly with women and the spectators,
after listening attentively to the argu-
ments of Mr.. Taylor of Ohio and Mr..
Littlefield of Maine for the adoption Of
the majority and minority reports, re-
spectively, of the special committee that
investigated the case, remained long
after nightfall to hear the impassioned
words of the accused as he faced the
house like an animal at bay, knowing
that every hand was raised against him.
Mr.. Roberts was very adroit in the
handling of his case, and at times ex-
ceedingly dramatic. Taking advantage
Of the issue raised by the division in the
committee as to the method of ousting
him, he appropriated to himself the ar
guments of the minority, that he was
entitled to be sworn in, and the argu-
ments of the majority that, once sworn
in, he could not be expelled He de-
Tended the action of the Mormons in
fighting the authority of the United
States for years because, he said, they
believed that sentiment would change
and dramatically stated that in those
days he would rather have had his flesh
hewn from his bones than to have re-
nounced his religious tenets. He con-
cluded with an eloquent peroration, in
which he said he had never been con-
scious of a shameful act, and If he
was sent forth he would go with head
erect and undaunted brow. Strange to
say most of the applause he won was
from women. But while they appeared
to be his only partisians, other women
manifested their bitter hostility by hiss
ing him at every opportunity.
Chairman Taylor of the elections COM
mittee spoke briefly on the case. He
said he did not care to discuss the moral
side of the case. but believed that the
report of the majority was right and
should be sustained. "If we do not
exclude this man." he said, 1--WE strike
down one of the most vital and necessary
powers that belong to great legislative
body"
The speech made by Mr.. Littlef1eld,
who succeeds the late Mr.. Dingley, in
defense of the minority proposition to
seat and then expel Mr.. Roberts, was
masterful effort, and stamped him as
one of the coming men in the house. The

AN UNHOLY TRINITY.

Game in New Hampshire.


Manchester, N. H.. Jan. 25.-Half a
hundred people of this city have been
relieved of small sums Of money by
trio, a man and two women, who have
canvassed the town, collecting money
for the alleged purpose of founding
day nursery. ]. Williams, who says
that he is treasurer of the Humane
league, a woman who introduced herself
as Miss Chadbourne, but whom Williams
said Is his wife, and Mrs. ]. A. Leonard,
who give her residence as Troy N. Y,
comprise the party.
Their plan has been to go from house
to house, urging the need of a day
nursery and collecting money, which the
ness proved dull, so to arouse public in
terest Williams advertised to give a
lecture Tuesday evening in city hall.
Among those who attended were Chief
of Police Healy and Inspector Hildreth.
At the close of the lecture Mr. Healy
took the party to the police station and
there subjected them to a searching eX-
animation with the result that Williams
gave up all the money he had on his per-
son and agreed to shake the dust of Man.
chester from his feet. Communication
with the Boston police had revealed the
fact that Williams was not known there,
nor was there any Humane league"
with offices at 131 fremont street, as
Williams had represented, hence the de-
tention Of the party.
Williams Is slick talker, and at the
station put up quite protest, speaking
feelingly about the injustice done him.
The Chadbourne woman was not inclined
to argue the case and advised him to
disgorge the funds which he had col
lected, which he did, turning over the
money. The name Of the chief of police
was among those who had contributed
to the fund.

Everybody Was Suddenly Hungry

New York, Jan. 24-W. J. Bryan ate
his dinner last night at the Democratic
club for the first time since he ran as a
candidate for the presidency. The din
ner was not given by the Democratic
club as a club, but Mr.. Bryan was the
guest of Commissioner John w. Keller,
who is the president of the club. After
Mr.. Bryan had left the clubhouse Presi-
dent Keller emphasized the fact that he,
as a private citizen, invited Mr.. Bryan,
another private citizen, as his guest, to-
gether with II other gentlemen. The
clubhouse was crowded from o'clock.
The fact that Bryan was to be a guest
at the club caused the seats in the gen.
eral dining room on the third floor to be
at premium.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The house con-
tinued the discussion of the Roberts
case yesterday. Mr.. Lands of Indiana,
a member of the committee, who in
vestigated the case and signed the ma
jority report, claimed that Utah has
violated the compact with the United
States. The speech was not a model Of
delicacy. 1t described in a jocular
manner the way that the apostles and
saints of the Mormon church had broken
their agreement with the United States
government, by taking up one by one
the signers Of the petition for amnesty
and tracing their records since that time
as to conjugal relations.
Mr.. Lands is western journalist, and
he utilized his art by making an effective
display of the data at his command. He
said there had been universal rejoicing
in the land in 1885, when Utah had been
admitted as a state into the Union.

lent to Ousting.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The state de-
partment Is finding it difficult to repuGi-
ate Mr.. Macrum. No less than three au-
thoritative statements have been Issued
to the effect that Mr.. Macrum is not con-
sui to Pretoria, or in fact in the United
States consular service in any capacity,
yet 1t appears that he himself is under q
different impression.
The fact that the United States senate
confirmed successor to Mr.. Macrum as
consul to Pretoria Is regarded by the
department as sufficient evidence that he
was thereby ousted. not only from his
post at Pretoria, but entirely out of the
service Of the United States govern
ment. Through a statute intended to
prevent consular officers from being left
in the lurch at distant post, an allow
ance Is made to pay travelling expenses
back to the United States, which is
technically regarded as consular pay in
order to fall within the law, but any
claim to place in the consular service
based on this allowance would, it is said
at the department, be purely technical.

fore the committee on railroads yestec-

posed to call to the attention of the house
the fact that two members of the COM
mittee held Boston and Albany stock.
Senator Tolman demanded the names,
and was told that he and Representative
Dewey of Westfield held one share each.

that he bought one share of Boston and
Albany stock in 1891 at 1870; tina. early
last summer he sold it at 273; mot be-
cause I was going back to the legisla-
ture," added the senator, "but to make

London, Jan. 25-From the right as
sault on Spion Kop which Buffers dis
patch to the British war office stated was
planned for Tuesday night, there is no
word. The tone of such dispatches as
are at hand from British sources,
coupled with the tenor of those received
from the Boer field headquarters, tend
to strengthen the suspicion, not yet be-
come certainty, that Buffers flank move
ment, as such, has failed, and that on
the upper Tusela, as at Colenso, he has
found himself so confronted by Boer
works as to be reduced to the necessity
of assaulting in front or retiring.
Boer reports say specifically that the
turning movement was frustrated and
The London Times correspondent con-
1rms the statement, with the qualifica-
tion that cavalry under Dundonald had
gained position on the Boer right
flank, where, however, Warrens in
cantry had been unable to join it. The
lighting Of Saturday and Sunday appears
only to have driven in the Boer advance
on their main position, to which Spon
<op or Lookout Hill is the key. That
.he exigencies of the situation require
an attack upon such position, even
lnder the cover of night, is not reas-
suring to the British public, and the
absence Of news, which in the event of
a successful assault it is assumed Butler
would be quick to cable, adds to the un-
mistakable feeling of gloom in London.
Anxiety is augmented by the knowl-
edge that Buffers army is in position
Info ioI
aster, since with two rivers in it's rear,
spanned only by a pontoon bridge, hur-
ried retreat in good order would be al
most impossible. With an enemy able
to take the aggressive after a battle,
British reverse in the present situation
might be attended by consequences
graver far than any earlier defeat suf-
sered by the British arms involving not
only a swift fall Of Ladysmith, but the
integrity OF the chief British army in
South Africa. OF this Butler cannot be
unaware, and consequently his move
ments may be expected to temper vigor
with caution.
Nobody here seems to know, not even
the war office, what Lord Roberts has
done with his large reinforcoments. Six
thousand troops awaited his arrival at
Cape Town; since then 5000 others have
reached there. Military critics alc all
hoping that good share je these $1,000
have gone to help General Butler; and
they argue that few days vait may
make him strong enough to overcome
the deadlock.
TheYe are $4,000 troops at sea; and this
heavy weight on the British side IS eX-
pected to destroy the equilibrium now
existing on every field of operations.

wounded and captured. according to
