SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 23.—News of the wreck of the steamer Townsend near Haines Mission, Alaska, January 16, was brought by the steamer Cottage City, which arrived to-day. The Townsend was on her way from Juneau to Haines Mission when one of her steam valves gave out and weakened the machinery to such an extent that she was soon drifting helplessly. A heavy wind was blow- ing and soon threw her stern first on the rocks at Rocky Point, midway be- tween Battery Point and Haines Mission. She was almost immediately driven broadside on- the reef and began filling, which caused her to list heavily to star- board. Captain McKenzie ordered a lifeboat lowered and sent the passengers and part of the crew ashore, the officers remaining with the ship. Ten minutes after striking the captain ordered Purser Carey below to sum- mon all hands on deck to abandon the ship, as from the position she was then oc- cupying it was feared that possibly she would take a heavy list to starboard and roll completely over, sinking in sixty-two fathoms of water. In the mean- time a life line had teen cast ashore and all the passengers and part of the crew had larided safely. Twenty minutes after she struck she started to list so heav- ily that her keel was showing on the rocks on shore and the small boat was pulled back to the ship to take the officers, including Captain McKenzie, who all slid down the line from the vessel. Passengers and crew walked to Haines Mis- sion, and at last accounts the Townsend was still hanging to the rocks. The steamer is a total wreck. The Townsend was brought from Portland two years ago to take a party of prospectors to Alaska, but was damaged by fire and the project was abandoned. She ran between Seattle and Nome last fall-and this winter has been plying from here to Skaguay. She was owned by Charles D. Lane of San Francisco. Tayler was emphatic in his assertions | He recounted | honesty and | | | | American tlefleld argued, could not be added to. If they could and the House now excluded a member because he was guilty of polyg- ampus_practices, next year It might ex- clude for adultery or because a member was an attorney for a trust or an octopus or for any other reason. The right of a meg’lber to his seat was a constitutional right. He took issue with the majority as to the power of the House to expel a member for acts committed before his en- trance into the House, citing case after case in support of his contention. First, he went back to the case of John Wilkes, the famous English champilon of free speech, wuo was three times excluded and twice expelled from the House of Com- mons, the second time for an act for which_he had been sent to prison five years before. He quoted from various let- ters the denunclation of the damnable doctrine that a single House of Parlia- ment could alter, suspend or abrogate the law of the land. He went back to the constitutional debates to prove that Con- gress could not add to the qualifications of members negatively stat in the con- stitution. After depicting the conditions that surrounded the framing of this provision of the constitution and quoting the words of Madison, Hamilton and Jefferson, he asked triumphantly who there was who could shatter the crucible of history which surrounded it or the declaration of the men who framed it. Who would undertake to impeach the Integrity of the men who were present at the dawn of our history. Some of the precedents cited by Tayler | Littlefield. e chal- authorities. Littleflield said that the majority was driven back to support its contention for additional qualifications upon the general welfare clause of the constitution. first burst of applause while ridiculing the attempt of the majority to dispose of Justice Story’'s opinion by stating that he had not sought to give his own ideas, but only the ideas of others. They would, sald Littlefield, make him the “Boswell of the constitution.” (Great laughter. Littlefield said the minority stood with Burke, the statesman of the eighteenth century, with Jefferson, Madison, Hamil- ton, Morris and the men who framed the constitution; with the decisions of the courts of Maryland, Montana and Vir- ginia; with the opinions of Story, Cooley, were ridiculed by lenged Tayler's Cushing, John andolph, Tucker and Webster.

This was part pay- against exclusion, citing the case of Ben- | jamin Stark in the BSenate in 1862, who was charged with disloyalty, yet who seated by the Senate without preju- was dice to subsequent action against him. The majority, he pointed out, had cited this case, but had not informed the | House of this fact. “I belleve,” said Littlefleld, concluding his commert on this particular case, that Roberts has a full constitutional | right to a seat in this House.” 'The applause which swept over the floor in response to this statement ex- tended to the galleries, many of the ladies there participating. The Whittemore case, which occurred immediately after the war, Littlefield said was a poor precedent. The passions of the war had not cooled and he belleved the action of the House in excluding Whittemore at that time on the ground of selling cadetships was, unwarranted and 1l advised. Littlefield attacked the proposition of the majority that Roberts had violated the compact between Utah and the United States. He asked where the authority for the statement that there was an under- standing between a State and the United | | States came from. Eloquently he declared | that the idea of a compact between the States had been the father of secession. blotted out by the lives of a half million men. Littlefield’s defense of the proposition of the minority that the House had a right to expel Roberts concluded his ar- gumegt. He aroused a great deal of en- thusiasm when he recalled the difficult osition in which ex-Speaker Reed had g@ n placed in the last Congress when jeneral Wheeler returned from the Span- ish war covered with laurels to resume his seat in the House and the difficult task of Speaker Henderson, then chair- man on Judiciary, who was obliged to re- port against General Wheeler. No mere patriotic sentiment permitted them to override the plain dictates of their dut: Proceeding, he pointed out the unques- tioned right of either house to expel a member for any cause deemed sufficient. This power was unquestioned, and before it was exercised Roberts should be sworn in. “We state upon our consciences and oaths,” sald he, “that he should have the full benefit of the fundamental law of the land.” (Loud applause.) Littlefield closed rather abruptly. Tay- ler then renewed his request for an agree- ment for a vote at 4 o'clock on Thurs- day. Crumpacker of Indiana objected. Upon the request of Tayler Roberts was then given one and a half hours in which to present his side of the case. He spoke at first very low, but his voice soon rose and he was at ease apparently. The two arguments just presented, he began, made It appear that there was a difference of opinion as to the method of procedure in the case of the member from Utah. From his standpoint he could agree with neither view presented. “I find myself in a position,” said he, “where I might y with propriety, ‘A plague on both your houses,’ since both propose my undoing (laughter), but,” he continued, “the situation is not altogeth- er without its advantages.” He was convinced with the minority that the House had no right to exclude him and with the majority that once ad- mitted he could not be expelled. “‘Between the two,” s=ald he, “matters fall out about as I would have them and substantial justice will be don (Re- newed laughter.) Roberts gave notice that he should ap- propriate the arguments of the mafority agalnst expulsion and those of the minor- ity against exclusion. His constitutional qualifications were admitted by both the majority and minority of the committee and he declared that the members of the House, {f they had regard for the consti- tution of their country, would call him back to the bar from which he had been improperly turned away. He warned the House that nations feil because they de- parted from their traditions. If a nation indulged in_ ‘‘constitutional immorality” it died as did the Individual who was guilty of physical immorality. He be- seeched the House not to yleld to the clamor of unthinking people. What was the emergency for this proposed depart- ure from the constitution? had married in the sanctity of the church a plural of wives had been elected to Con- gress. The cry had gonme up that the home was endangered and these extraordlnary proceedings had been inaugurated against him. He continued: For a tew moments I want to pay attention to the nature of this crime, not with a view of showing that the American people have not the Tight to establish monogamy as a system of marriage that shall prevail and not for the purpose of defending polygamy either; for in the early debate that took place with reference to this case on the floor of the House I then declared that I was not here to represent polyg- amy, nor to defend it. We have long ago passed that stage and the thing is out of the realm of discussion. I do not wish my remarks construed as a defense of polygamy, butdowant to call attention to the nature of this crime, in order that we may ascertain whether it is so awful in its aspect as to warrant a more law- less act than polygamy itself, in order to re- buke & man who has been elected to the House of Representatives. Take the Jewish peopl, Who_were made the repository of God's revel tion'to humanity. You shall not find the crime of polygamy referred to among that people as of the character it is described here in the re- port of the committee. Evidently it is malum prohibitum.
