WHAT WILL THEY
DO WITH HIM ?
Washington. Jan 23?The open?
ing debate in the Roberts case
brought enormous crowds to the
house today. Fully three fourths of
the spectators were women Mr
Roberts was seated on the extreme
right of the hall and every neck wus
craned to view him
It was an oratorical field day and
the crowds remained long after
nightfall to hoar the impassioned
words of the accused as he faced the
house, like an animal at bay, know
iug that every hand was raised
against him Mr Roberts was very
adroit in the handling of bis case
and at times exceeded tbe issue
raised by tbe division in tbe commit
tee as to the method of ousting him
he appropriated to himself the argu
ment of the minority tbat he wes
constitutionally entitled to be eworn
in end tbe argument of the majority
tbat, once eworn in, lie could not be
expelled He defended the action of
Mormone in fighting the authority of
the United States for yeare, because,
he said, they believed that sentiment
would change He concluded with an
eloquent peoration in wbioh be said
he had never been conscious of a
shameful act aod if he was sont forth
be would go with head erect and
undaunted brow Strange to say
most of the applause he won was
from women But while they ap?
peared to be bis only partisans other
women manifested their bitter hos?
tility by hissing him at every oppor
t unity
The speech for the minority by Mr
Littlefield, who succeeds the late Mr
Dingley, was masterful and stamps
him as one of the coming men in the
bouse The manner in which he
tore some of the arguments of tbe
majority into ehre is jumped him into
the front rank of debaters in the
house Tbe speech made a deep
impression In fact it is predicted
tonight by many members tbat the
majority resolution for exclusion can
not now carry
Mr Lacey (lows) has a proposition
which he will submit to expel Mr
Roberts by a two thirds vote without
seating him which will have support
ere and this may load to a compro
mise proposition
Miss Roberts, daughter of Mr
Roberts, was in the reserved gallery
throughout the debate today. The
debate will close next Thursday at
Roberts Excluded
And His Seat Vacant.
He Returns to be Thrice Wel?
comed Id the Far West.
Washington. Jan 25 ?The caso of
Bringham H Roberts, tbe "Mormon
repreeentative elect from Utah,
which has occopied so much of the
attention of the bouse since the
assembling of congress, was decided
today by the adoption of a resolution
to exclude him by a vote of 268
to 50.
TM exact language of a resolution
waa as follows:
"That under the facts and circum
atances of the case Brigham H
Roberts, representative elect from the
State of Utah ought not to have or
bold a seat in tbe house of represent
atives, and that the seat to which he
was elected is hereby declared
vacant 91
The amendment to expel Mr Rob
erts without seating him, cffered by
Mr Lacey. was ruled out en point of
order, aud tbe house only voted upon
the resolutions of the majority und
minority of the committee
The latter to seat aud then expel
Mr Roberts was defeated?81 to
244
An analysis of this vote shows that
170 Redublicans, 72 Democrats and
2 Popu!ish voted against it and 7l
Democrats, 6 Republicans, 2 Populists
and 2 silver Republicans voted for
It
The majority resolutions?to ex?
clude Mr Robeits and declare the
ssst vacant?were adopted?268 to
50 The affirmative vote was divid
ed as follows : Republicans 168,
Democrats 96, Populists 4, and tbe
negative vote : Democrats 47, Silver
Rspublicsns 2, Poplists 1.
There were a score of speakers
todsy. Mr Roberts was present
throughout the day and only left tbe
hall alter the result of the last vote
bad been announced. As he did eo
he gave out a statement justifying
his retention ot his plural wives on
the ground that his moral obligation
was mote binding upon his con
ecience than technical obedience to
atatutory law, and saying that there
was little excuse for the exlruordi
| uery efforts to crush a system already
abandoned and practically dead
lie saya he won a martyr to a
"spasm of prejudice " He would
not, he said, ultetnpt to run for con
grees again, though ho would go
back home with u light heuit, confi?
dent f?f the future
Mr Tslbsrt of South Carolina as Id
that In u osss of Mieh abnormal aud
delimit immorality tscbnloslitisf
should not weigh Repiesenting the
constituency he did, ho said he
should vote against Robeits fuel, lust
and all the time.

OTIS BELIEVES ITS
THE LAST BATTLE.
Schwan Meets and Defeats
Largest losurgent Force
Washington, Jan 25 ?Gen Oiis
cabled report today indicates that
Gen Schwan is conducting the cam
paign in the south of Luzon with the
greatest energy He has located
southeast of Laguna de Bay what is
probably the last considerable force
of insurgents remaining in one com
mand and today's report shows that,
with small loss to himself, and
heavy loss to the enemy, he has
managed to completely dissipate this
force, probably beyond the possibility
of reconstruction. Gen Otis' cable?
gram is as follows :
Manila, Jan 25
Schwan concentrated Thirtieth bat?
talion, Thirty seventh and Thirty
eighth infantry at and near San
Pablo, Laguna province, on the after
noon of the 20th, Hayes with cavalry
striking for Tayab-.j by lower road
The enemy had ^Uvancee from Santa
Cruz to very strongly fortified posi?
tions, at San Diego, Majayjay and
adjacent points in country very
broken and mountainous Schwan
struck the enemy at Ssn Diego ami
in an engagement lasting two hours,
killed 82 and wounded a large num?
ber Our casualties were oue enlist?
ed man killed and 14 wounded, in?
cluding three native scouts Cap
tared several rifles ammunition, bolos
and stock of uniform clothing On
the 22d Schwan pushed on through
to Lilio, driving enemy back on
Majayjay, where a force as reported
by an escaped Spanish prisoner to
number between 1,500 and 3,000.
well equipped and supplied bad con?
centrated waiting approach of troops
This position was impregnable via
roads or trails and the troops were
workiug around on either flank of the
enemy, when the enemy retreated
rapidly with the Thirtieth infantry
and cavalry in pursuit Ii is believed
that the insurgents are widely dis
persed The country is now cover
ed by troops and our. force occupies
Santa Cruz, a few minor engagements
at other points resulting in consider*
able loss to the enemy ; MacArthur
telegraphs that McRae struck an
insurgent post in the mountains
northwest of Porsc, capturing the
arsenal, barracks, ten carloads pow
der and ammunition, three ineur
gents with rifles The barracks and
arsenal were destroyed
Manila, Jan 25, 9 45 a in ?A part
of Gen Schwan's column, consisting
of six companies with some artillery,
dtove a force of 500 insurgents from
their entrenchments at San Diego,
near San Palilo, on Sunday The
enemy officially reported that they
had lost 67 killed and many wounded
Our casualties were one killed and 14
wounded, the injuries in most in
stances being slight
Another battalion, while executing
a flank movement, came upou 100
other rebels in an entrenched posi
tioti and routed them, killing 14
The Americans had two wounded
Geu Schwan moved against Majay
jay, Laguna province, on Thursday.
He found its position almost impreg?
nable, but. by lowering men down
the steep river banks by ropes, flank
ed the enemy and drove them out.
A part of his command proceeded to
Santa Cruz, killing six insurgents
Gen Wheeler and his daughter left
Wednesday on the transport Warreu

there are thousands of wo?
men who nearly suffer death
from irregular menses. Some?
times the M period " comes too
often ? sometimes not often
enough?sometimes the flow is
too scant, and again it is too
profuse. Each symptom shows
that Nature needs help, and
that there is trouble in the or?
gans concerned. Be careful
when in any of the above con?
ditions. Don't take any and
every nostrum advertised to
