Protnxt Mail Against the Swearing In ol Ilriglia II. Ituherta, I he Mormon l'o lygamist, Iu the House, bjr Tuylor and Miltuc. . Washington, Dec. 4. Cougross con Veiled at noon today. Lively competition occurred iu the iiouso or representatives for the houor of introducing tho first measures. By general consent everything gave way to the caucus financial hill, after which the initial bills were as follows: By Mr. Tawnoy (Miuu.), to reclassify runway postal ciems and also a bill do fining butter and regulating the sale of ileomargarino. liy Mr. Flinu, for free homesteads iu Oklahoma. Tho first Joint resolution was by Mr. Caprou (Oiiuu.), for a constitutional t DAVID B. IIKNUKKSOH. amendment ngaiust adinittiug polvga mists tocongress. Among tho other measures iu tho day 'I ueiue oi uuis are tiioso giving to states the custody of ac.-outremeiAs of Philin. piuo volunteers; nnieuding th poueioiil laws; providing for tho election of seiiiT tors uy tno peoplo; for a constitutional atiioiKliiient allowing the president tfl negotiuto treaties or peace terminating a war; giving to voteraus of the Spanish war tho same rights under tho civil ser vice us are oujoyed by veterans of the Civil war. Tho principal interest centered in tim caso of Mr. Roberts, tho Mormou rep- resentauvo rrom Utah. Thosa who an ticipated a sensational deuouemeui were disappointed. The program outlined by the Republican leaders at their conference oil Friday night was partially carried ont. The obiivtinn to the administration of tho oath to Mr. Roberts was entered by Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, as predicted, uud ho stenned usiilo without protc.-t except to ask i by so ooiul' no waived any of his rights. To this iho Sneaker responded iu the nega tive. Thcro was not a protest from anv quarter against the objectiou to tho ad ministration, of tho o;ith to Mr. Roberts. But, on tho contrary, the only voica raised cx-ept that of Mr. Taylor's, was that of Mr. McRae. a Democrat, of Ar. kaus;is. who joined with Mr. Tavlor In liis protrst. Mr. Taylor offered his res olution t r.'fer the case to a special comniittio, bnt by mutual arrangement the consideration of tho resolution was postponed until to-day. Although Mr. Roberts was not sworn iu, he secured a seat. This, however. was nn accident mire and simple. Iu the heat drawing lottery no nrovision hart been made for Mr. Roberts, bnt when tho drawing was completed, two others as well as himself had not been provided with seats and the soever asked nnd secured from the house iren. oral permission for thnso mnmimra who had not drawn seats to make such selections as they could. Under this authority, Mr. Roberts got a seat in an ousenro portion of tho hall. His daughter sat in the rmll tho proceedings from beginning to end. Tho election of Speaker Henderson and his induction into oflice, the appoint ment of tho usual committees to wait upon tho president, the seat drawing contest, with tho usual amusing features, went off without a hitch. The only feature out of the ordinary was tho adoption oi tne Heed rales for the pres ent coiitross. Tho Democrats knew it was futilo to more than nrotest ncr.iiiist the ndoption of these rules after tho Republicans h::d decided upon this course in enncus. and the debate nnnn the resolutiou to adopt thorn was very brief. They were adopted by a strict party vote. Appropriate tribute to the memory of tho lute Vice President HoDart was paid by tho senate at its first session of tho Fifty-sixth congress. The session lasted only i!3 minutes and only the most for mal and necessary business wag trans acted. After the adoption of the usual routine resolutions and tho administra tion to tho new members of the oath of oflice, Senator Sewell of New Jersey presented fitting resolutions upon the death of the vice president. The resolu tions were ordered to be communicated to the house of representatives, and the session, on motion of Mr. Kean of New Jersey, was suspended. ApprtM-lHtlmi Shown for Iafttor. Detkoit, Dec. 4. Rev. Lee S, Mc Uollester, who recently received a cull to tho pastorate of the Universalist church in Worcester, Mass., had in formed the trustees of the church of Our Father that he would forego ac ceptance if the indebtedness of upwards of f'.'O.OOO was Vioared at once. It was announced to Sunday's congregation that ono of tho wealthy members had effered to give flo.OOO. More than ;i,000 was subscribed by those present and the baluuco is expected. BSl; U ad tu t n-s a T:;rrihly lu-ailly Fir at tli I'.jiIIo of Modder Kiver. LoMioy, Pec. o. The Daily Chronicle published n dispatch dated Wednesday, Kov. Sit, from a correspondent, describ ing tho battlo of tho Modder River, which -.tiil iu part: "The battlo was waued tiercel v for nearly 14 hours. The ciii-iiiy u:-i:c.ji.-u a srrougiy ouireucuea position, their front extending five miles along f lio bauk of tho stream. They were vr l supplied with artillery I nd fought desperately. "The battle started nbout daybreak, our gcus shelling the Boers' left. The enemy replied with artillery, Hutch kiss and Maxims, and the artillery duel lasted some hours. Then there was a brief lull iu tho enemy's operations, of which the general immediately took ad vantage. Uur iufautry advauoed across the plain toward the river iu two bri gades. The guards, on tho right, were met by an awful hail of bullets from the enemy's sharpshooters, posted close to tho river on the opposite bank. Ours had no cover whatever and wore simply mowed down. It seemed impossible to live through the terrible firo, but the bravo fullows did not retreat. The Boer lire was horribly accurate, and they must havo numbered at least 10,000. "Tho Scots guards advanced about 600 yards before they were fired on. Then they had to lie down to escape the deadly lusillade, which lasted witnout intermission throughout tho day. The Highlanders made several attempts to forco a passage of the river, but they were exposed to such a murderous eii blading fire that they had to retire after they had suffered terribly. Subse quently a party of tho guards got ovor and held their own for hours against a vastly superior force. "Our men foil in dozens while trying rush the Boer position. "Among the heroic deeds one of tho most couspicuousjwas that of Lieuten ant Colonel Codriugtou of the Cold stream Guards, Captain Sellepin of the Queensland contingent, and a dozen members of tho Coldstream Guards, who jumpod into tho river and swam nearly to tlip other sido in tho face of a steady lire, but who were forced to re tire, and, joining hands, swam back, two of their number being nearly drowned iu tho retreat. "Tiio British guns kept up a heavy fire all day, nnd fearful havoo was wrought on tho Hoer positions, the en emy being forced to fly from their en trenchments. Night put nu end to the terrible bloodshed. The infantry bri gade was dread fully cut up. The Boers retreated at night, taking their guns with them, aud we are now occupying their positions. The enemy's loss was tremendous." There has boeu a preliminary skir mish between General Hildyards troops and tho Boers, near Coleuso, in Natal Colony, near where the next great bat tlo iu which some 40,000 men will be engaged, will soon be fought. i'ommauitant JJelarey nas reported to President Krugor that tho Burghers, oi pjjiiu ui meir ueieriiiiuea oeiouso at orus Pan, Nov. 25, wero completely sur rounded by the British and compelled to retire. Tho Boer co;iiniander on the western border reports that 12 Burghers were MAP SHOWING MODDER RIVER. killed and 40 wounded in the fighting at Belmont. MGR.

The Spanish gunboats will probably be offered for sale to the United States government. Tho Spauish secretary, Seuor Bju queute, has arrived hero with a note from Lieutenant Gillinoro to his sister, Mrs. Major I'rieo. He says ho has beou ill but is now in fairly good health. Tho Spaniards befriended him uud gavo him money mid clothes. An Associated Press dispatch from Santa Cruz, province of South Uocos, forwarded by courier to San Fabian, said that Getar.il Young, with three troups of the Third cavalry, aud Maior Peyton C. Marsh's battalion of tho Thirty-third infantry, arrived at Santa Cruz. Tne Americans left Hamapacan, province of Union, this morning, expecting to have a hard fight at Tagudiu, in South Ikcos province, but they found on arriving there that 000 rebels, under General Tino, had evacuated 30 hours heloro, deserting on nlmust impregnable posi tion. The insurgents had been entrenched at Tagudiu, oa the north side of the river, where 100 well disciplined troops might have slanglit-redawholo brigade, crossing the river, with tho men uo to tho armpit in water. Tho reaiJents of Tagudiu received the Americans outside the tywu with a brass baud. They had beeu robbed of almost everything by the insurgents aud wore glad to welcome friendly, and protecting troops. A similar reception awaited General Young at Sauta Cruz, Prominent citi zeus, headed by a band, escorted the American officers to houses, where rest and refreshment were offered. General Young's command was ut most without food. Tho iuu had been living on the country, which afforded but little, aud the horses were worii out, most of them without shoes. The inhabitants of Santa Cruz and of other towns through which tho Ameri cans passed slid that Aguinaldo uud his entire refugee army had gone into the niomitaius eastward since the Oregon, Samar aud Callao attacked Yigau uud landed u force there. Iu several towns General Yoniifr wug shown letters writtou by Lieutenant GUliuore, biiowiug that he had bjeu kindly trcatod by tho citizens aud had boon entertained by them whou he passed through last May. Reports indkuto that all the Ameri can prisoners, some 23 or HO were iu Beuguet provinc.i, but it was supposed that they had been removed into Le panto province. ' General Young's desiro is to pursue tho rebels into tho mountains. There is no communication between his small command and any of the other Ameri can co.umus, except indirectly, perhaps by sightiugund signalling United States gunboats bouud to or from Manila. Captaiu Kumbold, with 35 men of Company G, Thirty-second infantry, while escorting the signal corp? laying the wire Irom Porac to Florida Blanca, charged and routed 70 insurgents, kill ing a captain and bevcrul privates.
