OF Connecticut has given notice Of i'm
portant amendments he will offer to the
bills providing form of government

clause for the continuance Of the exist
ing customs relations between the
United States and Hawaii until further
legislation by congress.

quires the collection ON Porto Rican ar
ticles imported into the United States a
''sum equivalent to 80 per cent of the
customs duties levied upon like articles
imported into the United States from

ing in the United States and shipped to

mittee Of the G. A. r. called on the

brought together from different parts of
the country and sitting in Washington
with we'll defined jurisdiction and pow

THE ROBERTS CASE.

Second Days Debate Less Dramatic Than
the First.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The second
days debate in the house upon the Rob-
erts case was less dramatic than that Of
the previous day. The galleries were
almost as crowded but the ladies were
less demonstrative. Mr. Roberts was
not present. Had he been he would
have heard the most scathing excoria-
ton Of the Mormons ever delivered
upon the floor Of the house. The speaker
was Mr.. Landis Of Indiana, the young
orator who distinguished himself during
the last congress in an oratorical duel
with Mr.. Johnston Of that state. He
charged that Utah had been admitted to
the Union as result of Mormon con-
spiracy and reviewed the history Of the
apostles of the church whom he charged
with living in
Open Violation OF the Statute
against polygamy to show that they had
basely broken their solemn pledge to
the government. The other speakers
were Messrs. Powers (Rep., W.T. and
Miers Dem., Ind.) for the majority
resolutions; Messrs. Snodgrass (Dem.,
Tenn.) and Wilson (Sil Rep, Ida.) for
the minority resolutions; Mr.. Lacey
,(Rep., Ia.) for his proposition to expel
without swearing in, and Mr.. Crum-
packer (Rep., Ind.) for exclusion by a
two-thirds majority. The speeches
greatly strengthened the majority reso-
lutions, which seemed in danger Of fail
ing after Mr. Littlefeld's speech, and
Chairman Tayler is confident that they
will be adopted when the house reaches
vote.

FARMERS AT FARGO.

Increased Attendance at the Tri-stats
Grain Growers' Convention.
FARGO, N. D., Jan. 25.-The second
day of the convention Of the Tri-State
Grain Growers saw an increase in at
tendance and larger popular interest
in the proceedings. The day was given
up to papers on subjects of interest to
grain growers. A question box has been
established, all those having questions
to ask placing them, written, into box,
from which they are taken and dis
cussed. This feature seems popular
with farmers, as it gives all chance to
talk on matters Of personal interest.
All present consider the convention Of
valuable interest to the states in an ag-
ricultural and financial sense, all Sec
tions being represented.

BRITISH NEWS MEAGER.

War Once Has No Late Dispatches From
the Front.
LONDON, Jan. 25.-The crowds around
the war Office in Pail Mall, anxious for
news from South Africa, reluctantly
dispersed when it was finally announced
that nothing would be given out. The
papers are without word of late news,
but are full of conjectures Of all sorts,
striving to guess out something from
spion kop.
Topography maps show that Spiop
kop is the highest part Of rocky
plateau. Eastward for eight miles are
the Boer positions along the Tugela.
Northwestward from Spion kop the
plateau runs gradually up to a great
spur of the Drakensburg.
General Buffers infantry, to reach
the summit of Spion kop, must Cross q
glacis three-quarters of mile wide and
climb 500 feet up steep slope.
Where Are the Reinforcementsq
Nobody here seems to know, not even
the war Office, what Lord Roberts has
done with his large reinforcements,
Six thousand troops awaited his arrival
at Cape Town and since then 5000 9th.
ers have reached there. Military crit
les are all hoping that good share OF
these $4,000 have gone to help General
Butler, and they argue that few days
wait may make him strong enough ia
overcome the deadlock. There are 49,,
600 troops at sea and this heavy weight
on the British side is expected to de.
stroy the equilibrium now existing on
every field of operations.
The British losses up to date in killed,
wounded and captured, according to
General Buller's last list, totals 8,216
men.
