A FIGHT OVER ROBERTS CASE
HARD ONE AS TO PROCEDURE TS
 PROMISED IN THE HOUSE.
Case to be Called Up Tuesday-Possiblv
 Three Days VIII bs Devoted to It. Utah Elect Sure to bo
 Expell"d-senat"to Take Up the Quay

Case
 Washington, Jan. 21.-The feature of
 the proceedings in the house this week
 will be the consideration of the case of
 Brigham H. Roberts the Mormon rep-
 resentative-elect from Utah. The case
 has attracted intense interest all over
 the country. Though both the majority
 and minority of the committee wl1fch
 investigated the case agree that MT.
 Roberts should not sit as member of
 the house on account of alleged polyga-
 nous practices, there will be royal struggle over the question of procedure upon which the committee has split.
 The case will be called up on Tuesday. and two, possibly three, days will be de- voted to it. The majority of the com- mittee hold that Mr. Roberts should be excluded, while the minority contend that he should be seated and then ex- pelled, passing their argument for this course upon the ground that MT. Rob- erts possesses all the constitutional qualifications for membership and that any attempt to exclude him upon the theory that congress has the power to add to those qualifications would estab- lish dangerous precedent that might return to plague congress in the future.
 Mr. Littlefleld of Maine and MT. De Armond of Missouri who presented the minority report, will make a strong
 fight, and they say that they believe they can convince majority of the house that the course they advocate is the only proper one to pursue. The majority of the committee, on the other hand, are confident that they will be backed by a majority of the house. MT. Roberts is expected to make plea in his own defense. Should he be seated in accordance with the contention of the a resolution to expel him will , be immediately offered and this doubt- \ less will carry by an almost unanimous vote, although the majority in their re- port have insisted that once seated a cannot be expelled for acts committed before he was member of the house. Tomorrow will be devoted to District of Columbia matters. and Friday to eulbgies upon the life and public services of the late Vice Presi- X dent Hobart.

BOers Opened Sundays Fight.

Spearmap' Camp, Jan. 21, 10:20 p. m. After ten hours of continuous and ter rible fire yesterday Generals Hart and Clery advanced 1000 yards. The Boers maintained an irregular fire during the night, but the British outposts did not reply. This morning at daybreak the Boers opened stiff fire. The British stood to the guns where they had slept and the engagement was resumed viz orously The field artillery poured shrapnel into the enemy's trenches. A rumor that Ladysmith had been re- lieved enlivened the, British, who sent up ringing cheer. This was taken for an advance. The first kopje was car ried at the point of the bayonet and the Boers retreated to the next kopje, which like most others was strewn with inn mense boulders, surmounted by mounds on the summit. The British advanced tseadily and the Boers relaved slightly. The latter did not show such tenacity as previously. Their Nordenfeldts fired at long intervals and their cannon fired but seldom. Apparently the Boers were shrot of big ammunition. All day the roar of musketry fire continued The British took three Boer positions on the mountain and found shelter behind the boulders.

A heavy bombardment by field battery preceded the advance. The Boers eventually replied with two guns, several machine guns and rifles. The British responded similarly and long
 range firing became general lasting un- til dark.

London, Jan. 21.-The war office this evening gave out the following from General Butler:
 "Spearman's Camp, Jan. 21, 9 D. m.- General Warren has been engaged all day, chiefly on his left, which he has swung forward about couple of miles. The ground is very difficult, and as the fighting is all the time uphill it is difficult to say exactly how much we have gained, but think we are mak- ing substantial progress"
 The war office also issued the follow ing from General Butler, dated Spear mans Camp, Jan. 21, 6:55 p. m.-"In order to relieve the pressure on Gen. eral Warren and to ascertain the strength of the enemy in the position in front of Potgieter's Drift, General Lyttleton made a reconnaissance in force yesterday.

Universality Of Prosperity.

To show that the prosperity In this
country Is not confined to certain spots
tits only necessary to become familiar
with the marked advancement the
south has made In the last four years.
This Is especially exemplifed in the re-
port OF the exports and Imports for the
fiscal year at New Orleans, which
shows Its growth as a commercial sea-.
port. 1t was expected that there would
be q marked increase over the figures
of former years, but the hopes OF the
most sunguine fell far short OF the act
ual figures, for the receipts and value
OF exports during the year Just ended
We're far and above those OF any pre-
3vious year during the past quarter Of a
century. There was an increase Of over
81 per, cent over 1899 In the value OF In
ports. and the receipts OF that ye.,r
were nearly doubled in 1900 ~
Y The Increase In the value OF domestic
exports for 1900 over 1890 was more than
s2s,OO0,0oO and the increase in customs
receipts nearly 100000. The greatest
Increase in exports was in southern pro-
ducts. cottonseed cake. cottonseed meal
and corn. Tho first two items were in
creased by one-thlrd. while the ship
ping Of corn to foreign countries was
considerably more than doubled. There
was an unprecedented exodus OF horses
and mules. but of course the abnor-
mally large export Of beasts Of burden
was largely due to the war In South AZ
RIGA. In 1899 only 245 horses left this
port. while In 1900 there were Il, 0Gs; In
1889. 622 mules were recorded on tn,
books. which was just about one-ilftieth
OF the number which left here in 1900,
the actual figures being 1888.

The Railroad Ordinance.

The ordinance providing for a sub
scriptton OF $500. 900 to the Unfontown.
Waynesburg and West Virginia rail-
road Will be voted on to-day and the
friends of the measure claim that the
action of the board of commissioners
VIII be ratified. On the other hand the
opponents of the scheme profess to be-
lieve that 1t Is already defeated, but at
the same time they are not abatInr any
Of their efforts to secure its rejection.
The 1ntelllgencer has spoken for the
ordinance on many occasions and com
mended 1t to the approval OF the voters.
The enemies Of the measure have not
been Just and fair In their campaign
against it. They have stopped to Sian
der and misrepresentation OF the bald
est character. and have constantly
sought to array the prejudice OF GER
tain class of citizens In opposition to the
ratification Of the measure. Whether
they have been successful in their
methods remains TO be seen when the
| polls close this evening and the votes
are counted.
By the provisions OF the ordinance thu
interests of the county are completely
safeguarded, and the cry that has been
persistently INDUCED In that 1t is a
piece of jobbery-a steal-is not worthy
OF the serious consideration OF the most
scepticai. The ordinance wifi be rati-
fled II the voters are in humor 10 con-
slider what Is best for the future of the
city. Those who are SO earnestly op-
posing 1t nre blinded to their own inter-
ests. a"

Discussing the imperial ukase issued
shall be made the paramount issue In
!he campaign the Brooklyn Eagle. an
able Democratic Journal. but which now
advocates the election of Mckinley,
very senslbly declares that the Rcpub-
licans will have something to say about
that. and will Insist that 16 to ! Is an
Issue far more paramount than It was
In 1896, and more astoundlngly imperti-
nent. The Eagle suggests that the
people will decide between these at
tempts. The choice will be between
something far OF and something near
home: between something temporary,
remote and disappearing aud some
thing permanent. right here and real.
There Is no imperialism" Talk about
1t is talk about what never was and
never will be In America. AS the case
!s with any imaginary thing, people can
get excited about It, IL they are eXclt-
able people. But the American people
are not for long an cxcltablc people. and
when they are excited they are excited
about something that Is. not something
that Is not. -
There is no American who believes
that the pulling down Of disorderly ele-
ments In the Philippines endangers lib
erty here. or has In 1t tyranny for the
Fllipinos. 1t hns In 1t only benefits for
them. This very Kansas City platform
says the Filipinos are unfit for citi-
zcnshlp." Those who ara unit for cI,I-
Zenahip have first to be fitted for It, be-
fore they can be fitted for government.
American control, tutelage, example,
aid and Encouragement are factors To
fit, them for citizenship first, and for
government nfterward. The Kansas
City platform sounds an alarm around
an Imaginary evil aud Ignores an actual
Rltuation.
Were Mr.. Bryan made President. he
could not return the Philippines 10
Spain or sell them toEnglana or to Ger
many or to Japan. The American pro-
pie would not permit that. And as by
his own platform they are unfit for
citizenship" he could only pursue to-.
ward them that guardian policy which
MT. Mckinley Is pursuing. with agents
of,such recognized character and capn-
city that. they have commanded the
respect OF nll parties here and of tho
world.
The Kansns City platform proposes
to establish government in the Philip
