Protest Marie Agaliitt the Kwearlng; In oi Itrliiha ii II. Koherts, the Mormon I'o lyUHinlst, lu the House, by Taylor und Mcltuc . Washington', Dec. 4. Cougross con vened ut noon today. Lively competition occurred in the houso of representatives for the honor of introducing the first measures. L'y general couscut everything gave way to tho caucus financial bill, after which the initial bills were as follows: By Mr. Tawnoy (Mmn.), to reclassify railway postal clerks and also a bill de fining butter uud regulating the salo of oleomargarine. By Mr. Flinu, for free homesteads iu Oklahoma. Tho first jbiut resolution was by Mr. Caprou (Oouu.), for a constitutional IliSlK iCS r?i:5 5yS 'SvfiSlSff-r DAVID B. IIKNUKItSO.N. amendment ngaiust admitting polyga mists to congress. Among tho other measures iu the day'i deluge of bills are those giving to states the custody of accoutrements of Philip pine volunteers; (unending the pousiou laws; providing for the electiou of sena tors by the people: for a constitutional amendment allowing the president ta negotiate treaties of peace terminating a war; giving to veterans of the Spanish war the same rights under tho civil ser vice its are oujoyed by veterans of the Civil war. The principal interest centered iu the caso of Mr. Roberts, the Mormon rop resentativo from Utah. Thosa who an ticipated a sensational denouement were disappointed. The program outlined by the Republican leaders at their conference on Friday night was partially carried out. The objection to tho administration of tho oath to Mr. Roberts was entered by Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, as predicted, and ho stopped aside without proiot except to ask if by so doing he waived any of his rights. To this tho Speaker responded iu the nega tive. There was not a protest from any quarter cgaiust the objection to tho ad ministration of tho oath to Mr. Roberts. But, ou tho contrary, the only voics raised wept that r Mr. Taylor's, was that of Mr. McRae, a Democrat, of Ar kansas, who joined with Mr, Taylor in his protest. Mr. Taylor offerod his res olutiou t) refer the case to a special committio, but by mutual arrangement tho consideration of tho resolution was postponed until to-day. Although Mr. Roberts was not sworn iu, he secured a seat. This, however, was nu accident Dure and simple. In the neat drawiug lottery no provision had been lmido for Mr. Roborts, but when tho drawing was completed, two others as well as himself had not beon provided with seats and the speaker asked and seen rod from the house gen eral permission for those momberg who had not drawn seats to make such selections as thev could. Under this nuthority, Mr. Roberts got a seat in an obscure portion of tho hall. His daughter sat iu tho gallery and watched the proceedings from beginning to end. Tho election of Speaker Henderson and his induction into office, the appoint ment of tho nsual 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 of the Reed rules for the pros cut congress. Tho Democrats knew it was futilo to more than protest against the adoption of these rules after tho Republicans had decided upon this course in caucus, and the debate upon the resolatiou to adopt them 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 the seuate at its first session of the Fifty-sixth congress. The session lasted only !5U minutes and only tho most for mal and necessary bnsiuess was trans acted. After the adoption of the nsual routiuo resolutions and the administra tion to the new members of the oath of office. Senator Sewell of New Jersey presented fitting resolutions upon the death of the vice president. The resolu tions were ordered to be communicated to tho house of representatives, and the session, on motion of Mr. Eean of New Jersey, was suspended. Approbation Shown for I'M) or. Detroit, Dec. 4. Rey. Lee S, Mo Collester, who recently received a call to tho pastorate of tho Universalis 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 -'0,'KK) was V.oared at once. It was announced to Sunday's congregation that ono of tho wealthy members had efft-red to give $15,000. More than $,0U0 was subscribed by those present and the balance is expected. BBi;..;. Had tu Vn-9 a Terribly Doailly Flr at tliat I'tiitUo of Modder itiver. Loxnoy, Fee. 5. The Daily Chronicle published a dispatch dated Wednesday, Nov. 2il, from a correspondent, describ ing tho battle of tho Modder River, which t-.iiil iu part: ' "The battlo was waged lleivi I v for nearly 14 hours. The rnemy occupied a strongly entrenched position, their frout extending five miles along f'.ie bunk of the stream. They wero v?- U supplied with artillery I ud fought desperately. "The battle started about daybreak, our g.-.us shelling the Boers' left. The enemy replied with artillery, Hotch kis.4 and Maxims, and the artillery duel lasted some hours. Thou there was a brief lull iu tho enemy's operations, of which the general immediately took ad vautage. Our infautry advanced across the plain toward the river iu two bri gades. Tlie guards, on the right, were met by an awful hail of bullets from the enemy's sharpshooters, posted close to the river on the opposite bank. Ours had no cover whatever aud were simply mowed down. It seemed impossible to live through the terrible fire, but the bravo fellows did not retreat. The Boer fire was horribly accurate, aud they must havo numbered at least 10,000. "Tho Scots guards advanced about COO yards before they were fired on. Then they had to lie down to escape the deadly lusilhvle, which lasted witnout intermission throughout the day. The Highlanders made several attempts to force a passage of the river, but they were exposed to such a murderous eu hiadiug fire (hat they had to retire after they had suffered terribly. Subse quently a party of the guards got over and held their own for hours against a vastly superior force. "Our men foil in dozens while trying rush the Boer position. "Among tho horoic deeds one of tho most conspictious'was that of Lieuten ant Colonel Codriugtou of the Cold Bireuui Guards, Cupttiin Sellopiu of the Queensland coutiugeut, uud a dozen members of tho Coldstream Guards, who jnmpod iuto tho river and swam nearly to the other sido in tho face of a steady fire, but who were forced to ro tire, aud, joining hands, swam back, two of their number being nearly drowned in tho retreat. "The British guns kept up a heavy fire all day, and fearful havoc was wrought on the Boer positions, the en emy being forced to fly from their en trenchments. Night put an end to the terriblo bloodshed. The infantry bri gade was dreadfully cut up. The Boers retreated ut night, taking their guns with them, aud wo are now occupying their positions. The enemy's loss was tremendous." There has been a preliminary skir mish between General Hildyards troops and tho Boers, near Ooleuso, in Natal Colony, near where tho next great bat tlo iu which some 40,00ft men will be engaged, will soon be fought. Commaudant Delarcy has reported to President Krugor that the Burghers, in epito of their determined defense, at Gras Pan, Nov. 25, were completely sur rounded by the British and compelled to retire. The Boer o:nmandor ou the western border reports that 13 Burghers wera UAP SirOWINQ UODUEB RIVER. killed and 40 wounded in the fighting at Belmont. MGR.

Tho Spaniards befrieuded him. uud gave him money and clothes. An Associated Press dispatch from Santa Cruz, province of South Ilocos, forwarded by courier to San Fabian, said that Gem ral Young, with three troops of the Third cavalry, aud Major Peyton C. Marsh's battalion of the Thirty-third infantry, urrived at Santa Cruz. Tne Americans left Hamapacau, province of Union, this morning, expecting to have a hard fight at Tagudiu, in South Ilccos province, but they found on arriving there that (100 rebels, under General Tino, had evacuated 'Hi hours betoro, deserting an almost impregnable posi tion. The insurgents had been entrenched at Tagudiu, on the north side of the river, whero 100 well disciplined troopj might have slaughtered a whole brigade, crossing the river, with tho men ud to tho armpit iu water. Tho residents of Tagndin received the Americans outsido the tywn with a brass baud. They had beeu robbed of almost everything by the insurgents and wero glad to welcome friendly and protecting troops. A similar reception awaited General Young at Santa Cruz. Prominent citi zens, headed by a band, escorted the American otllcers to houses, where rest aud refreshment were offered. General Young's command was al most without food. The iuju had been living on the country, which afforded but little, aud the horses were worn out, most of them without shoes. The inhabitants of Santa Cruz aud of other towns through which tho Ameri cans passed said that Aguinaldo aud hij entire refugee army had gouo into tho monntnius eastward siuoe the Oregon, Sumar aud Callao attacked Yigau uud lauded u force there. Iu several towns General Yonutr wui shown letters writtou by Lieutenant Gvllmore, showing that he 1 id bjeu kindly treat ad by tho oitlzeus aud had beeu eutert lined by them when he passed tlironi'h last May. Reports indicate that all the Ameri can prisoutrs, some 25 or tfO were iu Beuguet provinc.i, but it was supposed that they had been removed into Le panto province. ' General Young's desire is to pursue tho robols into tho mountains. There is uo communication between his small command and any of the other Ameri can co.umns, except indirectly, perhaps by sighting and signalling United States gunboats bound to or from Mauila. Captaiu Rumbold, with 35 men of Company G, Thirty-second infantry, while escorting the signal corps laying the wire lrom Porac to Florida Blauca, charged anil routed 70 insurgeuts, kill ing a captain and several privates. The Americans found on the captain the sword and revolver that wero takou from tho body of Naval Cadet Welborn C. Wood, who was killed by the insur gents while iu command of the gunboat Urd.meta, when that vessel was cap tured iu the Orani river.
