Washington, .Tail. 20.- —The case of
Brig-ham 11. Koberts. tlx- Mormon rep
resentative-elect from I tail, which
lias occupied so much of tlie attention
of the house since the assembling ot
congress, was decided Thursday by
the adoption of a resolution to exclude
him, by a vote of 20s to 50. The exact
language of the resolution follows:
"That under the facts and circum
stances of the ease, Brigham 11. Kol>-
<'rts. representative-elect from the
state of I'tah, ought not to have or
hold a seat in the house of representa
tives. and that the seat to which he
■was elected is hereby declared vacant."
The amendment to expel Mr. Kob
erts without seating him, offered bv
Sir. Licey. was ruled out on a point of
order and the house only voted upon
the resolutions of the majority and
minority of the committee. The latter
—to scat and then expel Mr. Koberts,
was defeated si to 244. An analysis
of this vote shows that ITU republi
cans. 72 democrats and 2 populists
voted against it and Ti democrats, 0
republicans. 2.populists and 2 silver re
publicans for it.
The majority resolutions —to ex
clude Mr. Koberts and declare tlie seat
vacant- were adopted, 2<SS to 50. The
affirmative vote was divided as fol
lows: Republicans 1 OS, democrats 90,
populists 4. The negative vote stood:
Democrats I", silver republicans 2,
populists !. There were over a score
of speakers and the closing speeches
on each side were particularly able.
Mr. Lanham, of Texas, closed for the
majority and Mr. l)e Armoiid, of Mis
souri. for the minority.
Mr. Huberts was present throughout
the day and only left the hall after
the result of the last vote had been
announced. As he did so he gave out
a statement justifying- his retention of
his plural wives on the around tbat
his moral obligation was more bind
ing upon his conscience than techni
cal obedience to statutory law. and
saying that there was little excuse
for the extraordinary efforts to crush
a system already abandoned and prac

to a "spasm of prejudice." lie would

Seven Injured.
Wilkesbarre. Pa., Jan. 20.—A fright
ful explosion of dynamite occurred in
the yards of the Jersey Central rail
road at «\shley. a suburb of this city,
at 9 o'clock last night, killing Frank
McLaughlin, of Maneh Chunk, aged
27; Michael I'.ird. of Ashley, aged 22,
and William Uuckley, of this city,
aged 28. all brakemen, and fatally in
juring two unknown men. Kngineer
John Kehrig, of Maucli ( hunk, was
badly injured. Kngineer John Kough
ley, of Ashley, who ran a side engine,
was severely scalded. \\ illiam Brown,
of Ashley, night boss at the round
house; Brakftnan Thomas Howe, of
Newtown, and Kingman Michael Coyle,
of Ashley, were badly injured.
The accident was caused by the loss
of the control of the heavy freight
train, consisting of 24 cars, which was
coming from Maucli Chunk to Ashley.
The train was in charge of Engineer
John Kehrig. At Laurel Kun, while de
scending the steep grade down the
mountain, control was lost and the
heavy train went thundering down in
the direction of Ashley at a tremen
dous rate of speed. It had been rain
ing and the tracks were slippery.
At the foot of the mountain, just
where the Ashley yards commence,
the runaway train dashed into a help
ing engine standing in its path and it
was sent flying along the track into a
shifting engine. The shock exploded
a car containing 30 boxes of dynamite,
and the is ears in the train were
wrecked. Kvervthing that stood near
was knocked to pieces. Ten locomo
tives were wrecked. The stacks of
the roundhouse and a large portion of
the roof were blown away.
An immense tank containing thou
sands of iralions of water was torn to
pieces and several people who happen
ed to be in the vicinity narrowly es
caned drowning by the flood in which
they were suddenly submerged. Near
ly every window in the town was
broken. The inhabitants were greatly
alarmed bv the noise of the explosion
as well as by the shaking of their
houses. Kven in this city many of the
strongest edifices felt th- severity of
the shock and trembled violently.

A STORMY CONFERENCE.
I'lrrcf Wrangle Between 'liners and
Operator* at Hie Inter-Mate lleelluK
In Indianapolis.
Indianapolis, Jan. 25.—There was a
two hours' session Wednesday aftcr
iiiion of the joint conference between
the delegates from the United Mine
Workers of America and those from
th" Inter-state Operators' association
and so much bad feeling was engen
dered that it was deemed advisable to
adjourn until to-day to allow the feel
ing' to subside.
The wrangle started when the cre
dentials committee reported a division
on tin- matter of admitting the dele
gates and operators from lowa, which
was decided by the chairman against
the miners and continued until ( hair
man llogle had called Delegate Kyan
a liar.
Immediately upon calling the ses
sion to order Chairman Bogle asked
for the report of the committee on
credential-' and Chairman Dilcher re
ported it had been .lecided that the
states of Indiana. Ohio. Pennsylvania
■and Illinois were entitled to represen
tation in tin- joint conference. When
it came to considering the admission
of lowa there was a division, the op
erators opposing and the miners fa
voring it. The roll call resulted in i
tie. The chairman then announced
that he was entitled to cast the de
ciding- vote and voted no, thus debar
ring the state.
In speaking on the motion to admit
West Virginia, F. L. Kobbins ob
jected to bringing the state into the
competitive field for the reason that
at tin- Chicago conference two years
ago an effort was made to get West
Virginia in.and it was defeated be
cause the state had not been organ
ized. The miners had violated their
promise to organize this state and, as
a result, the operators there were not
paying the scale. Under this consid
eration they were able to mine coal
and put it on the market cheaper than
could be done in the competitive field,
where the scale was paid.
\fter the scale committees had been
named a motion was made to allow
the delegates not seated to have a seat
in the conference, without a voice.
This started the trouble. The motion
was lost, the niine;-s voting against it,
giving as their reason That the dele
gates ought to be admitted to the full
privilege or not at all. During the
discussion. Secretary William D- Kyan
said: "I do not propose to stand for
the bulldozing tactics of this chairman
and I do not think you will stand for
it. He has shown himself to be two
faced. After saying he had our inter
ests as much as the operators' to
watch, he turns around and votes
squarely against every proposition we
advance."
Chairman Bogle replied by saying
"l feel very much hurt at the accusa
tions made against me by the delegate,
because I think there is no foundation
for them."
He then reviewed the law on his rul
inf and, as he finished, walked to the
front of the stage and, shaking his
i finger at Kyan, said: "1 do not pro
pose to be insulted by any man. I did
not want the chairmanship of this
conference and I do not want it now,
and I say that the delegate who has
accused me of being two-faced is a
liar!"
A tumultuous discussion of parlia
mentary rules followed and the mo
tion to adjourn was with difficulty
gotten before the house. Much feel
ing is show non both sides. The oper
ators clearly outgeneraled the miners
in their efforts to get lowa mid West
Virginia admitted and the miners have
determined to not give up the tight.
OUTLINED A POLICY.
Democratic Senators ('onl'cr on a IMan

Washington, Jan. 23.—The demo
cratic members of the senate held a
conference Wednesday to consider the
question of party policy on the various
questions before congress. They hav"
found themselves following somewhat
divergent paths on some of these ques
tions and concluded that their party
interests demanded that they should
have a better understanding among
themselves. Ilenee the eouferenei.
No definite conclusion was reached.
The question of the policy to be
pursued towards the Philippine archi
pelago attracted more attention than
any other. On this point there was a
general exchange of views, the con
sensus of opinion evidently favoring
the policy outlined in Senator Paeon's
resolution of protecting life and prop
erty in the islands unty quiet is re
stored. when the United States shall
provide the opportunity and prescribe
the method for the "formation of a
government by and of the people of
the Philippine islands, to be independ
ently exercised and controlled by
themselves."
There was also more or less discus
sion of the bills providing a form of
government for the Hawaiian islands
and Porto Kico. 'I he preponderance
of opinion concerning these bills was
favorable to absolute free trade be
tween the United States and these isl
ands as a part of this country.
With reference to the financial bill,
i» was practically decided to offer a
substitute providing' for the free coin
age of silver. Senators Lindsay and
Caffery were present and while they
indicated their intention not to be
bound by any decision upon this line,
they recognized the futility of any ef
fort to prevent its being' pursued.

Ottawa, Out.. .lan. 20. —K. Ilirata, re-
Cent ly connected with the Japanese
war department and now traveling 1 to
become acquainted with English
speaking countries, made some highly
significant statements yesterday re
garding" tlhc relations of .Japan to cur
rent events. Mr. ilirata said: "The
Japanese people are strongly in sym
pathy witih (ireat Britain and the sol
diers of Japan want to be sent to
South Africa to fight for the liritish.
"Russia. France and (iermany are at
the back of the IJoers and in a meas-.
lire waging war against (ireat I'.ritain
through the lloers. What they are
driving at is clear enoug"h to well-in
formed Asiatics. It is to weaken the
military power of the l.iitisii in South
Africa, that the strain shall compel
Great ISritain to neglect tiie defence
of India and her interests in China.
"liritish defeat in South Africa
means a Franco-Russian march
through India. I'Vancc and liussia are
making every preparation for it.
"Witih her power strained in Africa
and crippled in India, what can (ireat
Britain do to oppose France, liussia
and (iermany in China. Nothing- with
out Japan.
"liussia and France are the natural
enemies of Japan. Our people will
never forget the injury inflicted upon.
Japan at the close of the war between
"Japan and China until that shameful,
wrong is rectified, and it will never
be rectified without war. In that war
(ireat llritain's material interests are
inextricably involved. When the time
conies to strike a blow at liussia,Japan
will be found ready and waiting. The
hour seems near.
"The war in Koutlh Africa offers an
opportunity to Japan to be of service
to (ireat I'.ritain by freeing her hands
for more serious work elsewhere,
which, willingly or otherwise, will
soon be forced upon her. Japan, if
(ireat Britain will accept her help,
can send over 30,000 or 40,000 troops
seasoned to mountain warfare, with
whose assistance the struggle can be
brought to a quick termination. Jap
an can land her troops in South Afri
ca without aid anil they will lie found
the right men to handle the I'.oers, es
tablish liritish supremacy in Africa
forever and leave (ireat Britain free
for the struggle in India.
"Japan's military strength is sufli
cient to deal with liussia in China and
permanently keep her in a position of
inferiority and maintain Anglo-Japan
ese supremacy throughout China.
"All Japan asks of (ireat Britain as
an ally in war against liussia is to em
ploy part of her fleet in assisting the
Japanese fleet to protect the ports of
Japan against the fleets of liussia and
France, and thus enable Japan's entire
military strength to be used for the
recovery of Port Arthur, the occupa
tion of Manchuria and the overthrow
of Russia's power in China. But tlie
first thing to be done is to free the
hands of (ireat Britain in Africa to
take up her work in India."
ARMED INVADERS.

Night,
Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 20.—The arri
val in Frankfort yesterday of from
800 to 1,000 men armed with rifles
might have terrorized a community
less inured to sensational happenings,
but by nightfall the excitement caus
ed by the appearance of the warlike
visitors had subsided and the people
were prepared for another turn in the
events now making history at the
state's capital. The train that bore
the armed men was made up of 14
coaches. Apparently but few here
knew that it was expected. The men
left the coaches in front of the Louis
ville & Nashville station and, forming
into companies, marched to the state
house, where their arms were depos
ited and tihe men scattered about the
buildings. Lunch was served to theni
it the rear of the state house.
Most of the visitors wore badges of
white ribbon, adorned with a picture
of (Jo v. Taylor. While it is generally
oelicved that many of the men are sol
diers no person in authority will
•stand sponsor for the statement, while
flov. Taylor and Adjt. (ien. Collier dis
claim any connection with ttliem. The
men hail from various sections of the
state.
The armed men of the mountains,
on the advice of the republican author
ities here, left Frankfort at 9 o'clock
last night. The opinion here is that
the visitors mistook the day on Which
the contest boards were to make their
report.
The men were an hour getting
aboard their train and amused them
selves during the delay by discharging
their guns. The people of the city
gave them a wide berth. They are ex

London, Jan. 22.-The Daily Tele
graph has the following dispatch, da
ted Saturday, from Spearman's ( amp:
"lien. Warren's forces have foutrht
a successful battle. This important
engagement occurred to the west of
Spkaikop, and practically resulted in
our securing the rough table land
which constituted the key of the Boer
position.
"After a fierce cannonade had been
directed atrainst the enemy's lines for
some time, the British troops assem
bled near an eminence known as
Three Tree hill, which forms the cen
ter of a semicircle of crests, crowned
with the enemy's work- and some six
miles long. Steadily and with gre.it
dash the Hritish infantry went for
ward in the face of a heavy fusillade
from Mauser rifles.
"Soon after midday the battle on
the hill became furious and from 3 in
the afternoon until 0 the tire from
both cannon and rifles was extreme'}"
lieavv. Point after point of the en
emy's positions were seized by the
British troops and cventuallv the Boer
risrht broke and was forced back to
ward Spionkop. Our force is
bivouacking upon the ground it cap
turcu so gallantly."
Spearman's Camp, Jan. 22.—After
ten hours of continuous and terrible
fire on Saturday liens. Hart and < Ic.'y
advanced 1,000 yards. The Boers main
tained an irregular tire during the
night, but the British outposts did
not reply.
Sundav morning at daybreak the
Boers oDened a stiff fire. The British
stood to the guns where they had
slept, and the engagement was renew
ed vigorously.
All day the roar of musketry fire
continued. The British took three
Boer positions on the mountain and
found shelter behind the boulders.
The Dailv Chronicle has received the
following, dated January 22, 4:15 p.
m., from Spearman's Camp:
"The Boers admit 21 casualties (lur
ing Gen. Lvttleton's skirmish on Sat
urday. Oen. Warren continues push
ing forward, though he is making very
slow progress, as the Boers are nu
merous and strongly entrenched."
Durban, Natal, Jan. 23.—The state
ment comes from an excellent source
in Pietermaritzburg that Lord Dun
donald has entered Ladysmitli with
1,(500 men.
Kimberley (by heliograph), Jan. 17,
via Modder River, Jan. 23. "Native re
ports say that a proclamation has
been issued at Barkley West by Com

subjects to quit before January 22.
Ladies are being subjected to great
insults. The Boers are again very act
ive, bombarding heavily from all posi
tions from dawn till S a. m., the fire
being directed chiefly against the re
doubts."
London, Jan. 24.—The following dis
patch from (ien. Buller,dated at Spear
man's Camp Tuesday, 6:20 p. m., was
posted at the war office last night:
"Warren holds the position he gain
ed two days ago. In front of him, at
about 1,400 yards, is the enemy's posi
tion, west of Spionskop. It is on
higher ground than Warren's position,
so it is 'impossible to see into it prop
erly.
"It. can be approached only over
bare open slopes and the ridges held
by Warren are so steep that guns can
not be placed on them. But we at' '
shelling the enemy's position with
howitzers and field artillerv, placed
on lower ground, behind infantry.
"The enemy is replying with artil
lery. In this duel the advantage rests
with us, as we appear to lie searching
his trenches ami his artillery lire is
not causing us much loss."
London, Jan. 25.—The assemblage in
Pall Mall outside the war office reluc
tantly dispersed at midnight, after the
final word that nothing more would
be announced.
The Hritish loss to date in killed,
wounded and captured, according to
Oen. Puller's last list, total 8,210 men.
London, Jan. 20.—The war office
yesterday issued the following dis
patch from Spearman's Camp, dated
January 25, 12:10, morning:
"(ien. Warren's troops last night oc
cupied Spionkop and surprised the
small garrison, who fled. It has been
held by us all day, though we were
heavily attacked, especially by a very
annoying shell fire.
"I fear our casualties are consider
able, and I have to inform you, with
regret, that (ien. Woodgate was dan
gerously wounded.
"(ien. Warren is of the opinion that
he has rendered the enemy's position
untenable. The men are splendid.
Puller's phrase, "The men are splon
<l i«l," thrills England with pride and
confidence. His taking and holding
Spionkop are considered permanent
advantages.
Sir Charles Warren's opinion that
miles of the adjacent Boer entrench
ments are untenable is accepted by
most expert observers as obviously
true, because of the height of the posi
tion, although some point out that it
mav lack adequate gun platforms to
resist artillery tire from the two ex
tended sides.
Advices have been received from
Spearman's Camp that Oen. Woodgate
has succumbed to the wounds he re
ceived in the attack upon Spionkop.

London, Jan. 27. —Seven days of
fighting have left the main Boer posi
tions intact and (ien. Buller's army,

cial casualty lists, which seemingly <I o
not include the Spion Kop losses, .is
tliosi last • forwarded do not mention
(ien. Woodgate's wounding.
Fug-land is possessed by a depress
ing sense of failure, although not a
word in criticism of her generals and
fcoldiers is littered. Not much effort
is made to place a happy construction
upon Gen. Buller's bare Is words tell
ing of the retirement from Spion lvop,
and there is an uneasy impression
aboard that worse news is yet to
come.
At one of the military clubs to-night
the statement passed from one mem
ber to another that the war ottiee had
received an unpleasant supplementary
dispatch from Gen. Buller which was
being held tip.
Facts from the neighborhood of the
Tugela river are scantier than ever.
The censorship is simply prohibitive,
and something is wrong with the ca
bles. The break on the east coast lines
has been repaired, but the cable be
tween San Thome and Luanda, on the
west coast, is now interrupted.
"More troops," is the only sugges
tion here as to the way to break the
Boer resistance. The Spectator, deal
ing with the necessity of large addi
tional military preparations, says:
"It may be that we have yet another
cycle of disasters in front of us."
The morning papers editorially ad
vise coolness and judgment and a
careful avoiikinee of overestimating
the importance of the lost position.
The Times says:
"The consequences of this latest
cheek may lie very serious to the gal
lant l.adysmitli garrison. It is impos
sible to estimate the next movement.
It may be that (ien. Buller will be
compelled to retire from the ground
he lately won, but in any event we
may be sure that the British people
will not show themselves wanting in
fortitude and steadiness. The govern
ment would lie well advised to call
out immediately all the militia and to
expedite the dispatch of the Eighth
division and of the Fourth cavalry
brigade. No doubt Lord Roberts will
strain every nerve to enable (Jen. Bul
ler to renew the attempt to relieve
Ladysmith."
The military critic of the Times,
discussing various possible explana-.
tions, dwells strongly upon "the ter
rible drawback to liritish generals in
volved in the absence of maps of this
tangled hill country."
The Standard, which thinks still
more troops will be required, and
which comments upon the "astonish
ing manner in which South Afriev
swallows up troops wholesale without
any appreciable result," goes onto re
fer to the continental jubiliation and
to the predictions regarding (ien. Bul
ler's check. It says:
"It. is humiliating- to find that the
Natal map has been more accurately
studied in Berlin than at our own
headquarters on the Tugela."
The editorial then alludes to the
significance of Dr. Leyd s doings in
I'aris, remarking:
"Dr. I.evils was a guest at President
Loubet's banquet, on Thursday,
where, in consequence, the British
ambassador did not appear. M. Del
cassc, the foreign minister, conversed
some time with him. Our Paris cor
respondent, however, assures us that
the Fren "h government is determined
to preserve neutrality."
The position of the British armies in
Cape Colony is virtually unchanged.
Lord Methuen forwards by mail the
first official recognition of Boer valor
and military art. lie calls their tac
tics and their courage "indisputable."
In defending frontal attacks, Lord
Methuen savs:
"The mobility of the Boers is such
that they can change front in 1"> min
utes, so that a flanking operation
when striking home, simply meets a
new front."
