HOT RESOLUTIONS IN
 TEXAS LEGISLATURE
Members of Congress Who Objected to Roberts Taking His Seat Were
 Roundly Roasted.

Austin, Tex, January 25.-Today in the house of the Texas legislature resolu- ton was introduced condemning congress for it's course in the Brigham H. Roberts case. The resolution was introduced by representative Wells and occasioned some debate, but was finally referred to a com mittee to be reported on as soon as possi- be. The resolution, in part, says:
 "Whereas, The only substantial ground for objection to the seating of MT. Roberts is based upon the fact that said Roberts refuses to cast adrift upon cold and un- feeling world the women who, from alleged mistaken notion respecting certain tenete of their religion, assume the obligation of wifehood under the sanction of the highest authority of their church and subject said women to the scorn of said unfeeling world and, further, because said Roberts persists in continuing to love, cherish and support said women and the offspring of the said marriage; now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That while we are opposed to the practice of polygamy, at the same time we commend Roberts for his manly course in refusing to abandon his plural wives and their children; and be dt fur ther
 Resolved, That it is the opinion of this who are guilty of violation of the moral code of the character charged against said Roberts, would vote to seat said Roberts, there would not be found a corporars guard of the same.''

MORLEY ON SITUATION
Does Not Regard Transvaal as Mili-
 tary Power

London, January 25.-John Morley, ad- dressing his constituents this evening at FoGdar, made but little reference to the present aspects of the war in South Af- rica, confining hiuntssLf chiefly ito renewal of dEne indictment of the policy which led ito hostilities."
 He ridiculed .'tGle notion that a few Boer successes entitled the TIansvaal to be de- scfibed as a frst-class military power,' and declared Chat "tne fact of the Boers sending the uLtina tum no more disposed of all other questions than the defiance Of the American collon.sts in throwing the tea into Boston naroor disposed of all the questions of the war of American inde- pendence."
 Tt Is quite ce1ta tain,' continued MT. Mor- ley, ''unat had the government apprecia,.e ed ttle temper of the Transvaal people and foreseen what was coming-what We all know in these black, gloomy days-uaere would have been no war II is dreadful, but true, 'dhejt a want of decent foresigtnt and correct information led the government to stumble into war in the dark
 Lord :Salisbury'S menacing speech of July S, If applied to a great power, could only have meant war. It was absurd if the government really believed in a Dutch Conspiracy, to spend time in negotiations regarding the franchise The xOnspiracv Was an atter-thousut of the government. conjured up to mask a h.deous and ghastly blunder.''
 In conclusion, MT. Morley declined to commit himself to what would happen in the future, but he warned his hearers not to be duped by the idea that the Boers alter defeat would settle down quietly
 Something depends on a. chance. whtce, nope is remote, but is certainly not i'm visible, Tor our being called off to meet dangers in other quarters'

MOBILE AND OHIO
 DEAL IS DENIED. President Russell Gives Out a
 Statement.
NOT WORD OF TRUTH IN 1T
He Stated That Broker Had Come to His Office to Buy the Mobile and Ohio, But Was
 Unsuccessful

New Orleans January 25.-The story that the Illinois Central was to become the purchaser of the Mobile and Ohio railroad which had some apparent foundation fin the simultaneous arrival here of President Stuyvesant Fish of the Illinois Central and President Russell of the Mobile and Ohio. and their evasive replies earlier today, when they were asked if there was any truth in the alleged dead, was given at least temporary quietus tonight before the two officials left this city. Mir. Fish and MT. Russell had been in the city for two days and spent much of their time to- gether. and the story that they were in consultation over the proposed transfer of one road to the other gained wide circuls- tion.
 When first approached during the day neither expressed any surprise at the ques- lion asked of them whether they were ne- gotiatfng for the sale, but were anxious to learn from what sourse the story had come Tonight, when both gentlemen were asked for positive affirmation, or denial. President Russell gave out the following authorized interview, which describes the origin of the story and the fact that the
 aDDTOaGhad with view to the purchase of the road:
 Will say that as far as my information goes, there is not a word of truth in this story of the sale of the Mobile and Ohio to hhe Illinois Central, although President flsh or the Illinois Central happens to be here in New Orleans at the same time I am. l am sustained in this statement bv MT t1sh's declaration that q1is company had not made any-offer to buy the Mobile and Ohio. A broker a Chicago man. by the way, approached me at my office in Mobile about two weeks ago and said he wanted to buy the Mobile and Ohio for the Illinois Central. told him I did not own the road, that 1t was owned in New York and that 1t was impossible for him to buy the road except through the active cooperation of w. Butler Duncan chairman of the board Of directors. AS said, this man who ap- preached me, and who wanted to buy the Mobile and Ohio road, was a Chicago man. but l do not at this time feel at liberty to make known lhis name.
 Broker Had No Authority
 ''Mr. Fish said to me since have been here in New Orleans for the last two days that hhHs broker had no authority to act for the Illinois Central in any way He denied that the Illinois Central wanted to buy the Mobile and Ohio or had made any offer to purchase through any person or any official of the Mobile and Ohio.

The Reports Disagree

Washington, January 5.-Secretary Hay was advised today by United States Min ister Conger at Pekin of the result of the ccnvocatlon of Chinese notables there, his statement being that Pu Chun, IA years of age, had been appointed heir apparent. There is a notable discrepancy between MT. Conger's statement and that cabled from Shanghai, and it is impossible here to learn which is accurate at the time, neither the state department nor the Chinese legation having any further information on the subject than that contained in MT. Conger's sta atement. It will be noticed that he does
 not indicate that the heir apparent has
 been named as emperor nor that he is to ascend the throne immediately. The action

View of Chinese Minister

Washington, January 25.-The Chinese minister, Mr. Wu Ting Fang, when shown the above dispatch was at first inclined to doubt and discretit it. but when he exam ined the circumstantial detail of the re- ported edict, aic rsaid
 'I am unable to say whether 1t Is true or not. Thus far, have received nothing official or unofficial, ito indicate that such a change has been made, or was contem- plated. A short time ago report was current that the son of Prince Yuan (erron- eously given in the dispatch as Tuano) would be named as heir apparent. But l have not been informed that this would be done. It would not be surprising If an heir apparent were designated, as this oc- CUTS at times. usually In order to provide a succession when an emperor is sick, or otherwise incapacitated."
 After consulting references in the gem ealogy of the imperial family MT. Wu said that as near as he could tell Prince Tuan is son of the former emperor, Hien Flung, thus making the reported new emperor Pu- chun, a grandson of Emperor Hien Flung. The latter was followed by Ting Chi, son of the present empress dowager, who still retains her strong influence over court af- fairs. Her son was without issue and was succeeded by the present Emperor Kwang Su nephew of the empress dowager and designated through her Influence.
 In case the reported change has been made it will be a continuance of the same imperial family at the head of affairs with the empress dowager remaining as the strong power behind the throne. Prince Yuan has taken little part in public af- fairs up to this date, but mingled with the outside world.
 When asked if such a change would en- tail any change of Chinese policy, Minister Wu said:
 Not in the slightest. It does not indicate any change of policy on international or foreign affairs, nor on our domestic af- fairs. Our people are quiet, peaceful peo- pie, and have little regard for such changes which may occur in the government
