Mr, Pritchard of North Carolina delivered a long and carefully prepared address upon the race ques- tion in the South, his remarks being addressed particularly against the pro- posed amendment to the constitution of North Carolina, which, if enacted, he said, would disfranchise a large class of voters, both white and black. He was followed by Mr. Turner of Washington in a speech on the Philip- pine question in which he arraigned the administration’s policy as set out in the president’s message and in the speech of Mr. Beveridge. Mr. Turner was given close attention by his col- leagues. The House. The house was in session only forty minutes yesterday and nothing of pub- lic interest was done except to refer to the speaker for setilement a dispute between the appropriations and mili- tary affairs committees over the ques- tion of estimates for the manufacture of small arn Rock Island and Springfield arsenals. A few District of Columbia bills of minor importance were passed. Washington, Jan. 24.—Yesterday was an oratorical field day in the house over the case of Brigham Roberts, the Mor- mon representative from Uiah. ‘Lhe galleries were packed to suffocation, chiefly with women, and the spectators after listening atsentatively to the ar guments of Mr. Taylor of Ohio and Mr. Littlefield of Maine, for the adoption of the majority and minority reports respectively of the special committee that investigated the case, remained long after nightfall to hear the impas- sioned words of the accused as he faced the house, like an animal at bay, knowing that every hand s raised against him.. Mr. Roberts vw very adroit in the handling of his case, and at times exceedingly dramatic. ‘Ta ing advantage of the issue raised by the division in the committee as to the method of ousting him, he appropriated to himself the argument of the minor- ity that he was constitutionally entitlec to be sworn in and the ‘ument of the majority, that once sworn in he could not be expelled. He defended the ac- tion of the mormons in fighting the au- thority of the United States for years, because they believed that sentiment would change, and dramatically stated that in those days he would rather have his flesh hewn from his bones than to have renounced religious tenets. He concluded with an elabor- ate peroration, in which he said be had never been conscious 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 partisans, other women manifested their bitter hostili- ty by hissing him at every opportunity 'The speech made by Mr. Littletield. who succeeds the late Mr. Dingley, in defense of the minority proposition te seat and then expel Mr. Roberts, was a masterful effort and stamped him ag one of the coming men of the house. The manner in which he tore some of the arguments of the majority into shreds jumped him into the front rank of debaters in the house. The speech made a deep impression. In fact, it is predicted by many members that the majority resolutions for exclusion can- not carry. Mr. Lacey of Iowa has a proposition which he will submit to expel Mr. Rob- erts by a two-thirds vote without seat- ing him which will have supporters. and this may lead to a compromise proposition. Miss Roberts, daughter of Mr. Rob- erts, was in the reserved gallery throughout the debate. The debate will close Thursflay at 4:30. The Senate. Again yesterday the senate’s session was devoted entirely 10 speecbmaking. Mr. Turner of Washington concluded his address upon the Philippine ques- tion. He was followed by Mr. Ross of Vermont with a thoughtful and care- fully prepared speech in which he also discussed the Philippine question in connection with the resolutions he had offered. His presentation of the ques- tion was given thoughtful attention by his colleagues. Mr. McEnery of Louis: iana delivered the concluding speech of the session on the race question in the South. He took strong ground in sup- port of the constitution of Louisiana and the proposed amendment to the constitution of North Carolina, which, it is alleged, will disfanchise a large class of voters. Washington, Jan. 25. — The second day’s debate in the house upon the Roberts case was less dramatic than that of Tuesday. The galleries were almost as crowded, but the ladies were less demonstrative. Mr. Rob- erts was not present during the day. Had he been he would have heard the most scathing exortation of the Mor- mons ever delivered upon the floor of the house. .Mr. Landis of Indiana, the young orator who distinguished him- Self during the last congress in an ora- torical duel with Mr. Johnston of his state, won new laurels yesterday. He charged that Utah had been admitted to the Union as a result of a Mormon conspiracy, and reviewed the history of the apostles of the church, whom he charged with living in open and flagrant violation of the statute against polygamy to show that they had basely broken their solemn pledge to the government. The other speak- ers were Messrs. Power of Vermont and Miers of Indiana for the majority resolutions; Messrs. Snodgrass of Ten- nessee and Wilson of Idaho, for the minority resolutions; Mr. Lacey of Iowa for his proposition to expei witb out swearing in, and Mr. Grumpacker of Indiana for exclusion by a two- thirds majority. The speeches grestly strengthened the majority resolutions, which seemed in danger of failing at-) ter Mr. Littlefield’s speech Tuesday, and Chairman ‘Taylor was confident last night that they would be adopted when the house votes this afternoon. / The Senate. Routine business occupied the atten- tion of the senate yesterday in a brief session. The resdlution offered Tues- B day by Mr. Pettigrew calling upon the president for information regarding the treaty entered into with the sultan of Sulu was passed after Mr. Petti- grew had made an attack upon the administration for enteriug into an agreement which he said authorized slavery. An extended debate was pre- cipitated by a conference report on the census administrative bil, but the census committee gained its point and the measure was sent back to confer- ence. Washington, Jan. 26. — The case of Brigham H. Roberts, the Mormon rep- resentative-elect from Utah, which has occupied so much of the time of the house since the assembling of congress was decided yesterday by the adoption of a resolution to exclude him by @ vote of 268 to 50. The exact language of the resolution was follows: “That from the facts and conditions of the case, Brigham H. Roberts, rep- resertative-elect from- the State of Utah, ought not to hold a seat in the house of representatives, and the seat to which he was elected is hereby de- clared vacant.” - The amendment to expel Roberts af- ter seating him was ruled out on a point of order and the house voted upon the resolutions of the minority and majority of the committee. The . to seat and then expel Mr. was defeated, $1 to 244. An of this vote shows that 170 Republicans, 72 Demecrats and 2 Pop- ulists voted against it, and 71 Demo- crats, 6 Republicans and 2 Populists and 2 Silver Republicans for it. The majority resolutions—to exclude Mr. Roberts and declare the seat vacant— were adopted, 268 to 50. The affirma- tive vote was divided as follows: Re- publicans, 168; Demecrats, 96; Popu- lists, 4, and the negative vote: Demo- crats 47; Silver Republica Popu- lists, 1. There were over a si yesterday, and the clos each side were peaceable: ham of Texas closed for and Mr. De Armond of Missouri for the minority. Mr. Roberts was pres- ent throughout the day and left the hall after the result of the last yote had been announced. As he did so he gave out a statement ig his re- tention of his plural v on the ground that his moral obligations was more binding upon his conscience than the obedience to statutory law, and saying there was little ease for the extraordinary efforts to cru: already abandoned and prac dead. He said he was a marty “spasm of prsjudice.” He would not, he said, attempt to run for congress again, although he would go back home with a light heart, confident of the future. re of speeches ng speeches on Mr. Lana- he majority The Senate. Just at the close of yesterday's ses- sion of the senate a speech delivered by Mr. Money of Mississippi on the race question in the South precipitated a beated colloquy between him and Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire, in which the latter alleged that the statements, were recpening the whole Southern question in the senate after it was supposed to be dead. The charge which Mr. Chandler particular- ly criticised was made by Mr. Morgan of Alabama, who is absent at present, but as it has been reiterated constant- ly, in Mr. Chandler's opinion, by other senators, he did not propose to let it go unrefuted. It had been stated that the war was precipitated by designing politicians of the North for the purpose of placing slaves on a social equality with the whites. Mr. Chandler's re- futation of the statement was made with startling vehemence and aggress- iveness, but as no reply was offered the question was ended there. urgency deficienc The bill carried about passed without a tically without de- division and prs bate. Washington, Jan. 27.— The greater portion of the session of the house yesterday was deyoted to culogies upon the life and public services of the late Vice President Hobart. The trib- utes paid to his memory were not the usual perfunctory eulogies, but breathed the love and admiration and respect in which he was universally held. Those who spoke were Messrs. Gardner, Stewart. Parker Fowler and Daly of New Jersey; Mr. Payne of New York, Mr. Dalzell and Mr. Brosius of Pennsylvania, Mr. Richardson of Tennessee and Mr. Griggs of Georgia. Before the eulogies began the confer- ence report on the census Dill was adopted and an attempt was made to pass a bill to pay the cost of repairing the Manila cable which Dewey cut just prior to his great victory. Opposi- tion developed, however, and it went over. WILL HELP FINLANDERS. Czar Says in Speech That Ru: to Aid Unfortunate Provir Helsingfors, Finland, Jan. ezar’s speech which was read at the opening of the diet yesterday, ex- plained that it was intended to take measures to meet the recent misfor- tunes in Finland, the principal of which was the failure of the crops, this causing large emigration, The proposed measures, it was announced, include the postponement of the ma- neuvers of the reserves so that the men will not be prevented from follow- ing their theory.
