Washington, Feb. 5. House elections committee No. 3 reported today on the contest of Richmond Pearson, repub lican, against W. T. Crawford, demo crat, from the "Ninth North Carolina district, in favor of the contestant, Richmond Pearson. Mr. White, of North Carolina, one of the colored members of the house, rising to a question of personal priv ilege at today's session, caused to be read an article in the Raleigh News andi Observer attacking him for his al leged remarks in the house on the race question. Mr. White said he desired to give the slanderous publication the widest circulation possible, and he wished to repudiate the sentiments at tributed to him. by that vile sheet. Mr. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, fired an other expansion volley in the rear of the democratic party in the house to- '(5ay. Champ Clark, of Missouri, had just finished a two hours' speech on the Philippine question, elaborating the proposition! advanced at the begiianing of his remarks that he was dead "opposed, first, last and all the time" to the ac auisition of the islands. He had been preceded by Dinsmore, of Arkansas the head of the minority of the com mittee on foreign affairs, which had! re ported on the diplomatic and consular appropriation line, under discussion at the time, whoalso declared opposition to holding the Philippines longer than necessary to restore peace and order Sibley's expansion remarks seemed to anger the . democrats andl several inti mated that he ought to be on he re publican side. "If it be necessary, ' Sibley responded vigorously, "to show that I am in favor of good government and progress to be over there, you can remove this desk at once." The debate on the appropriation bill will run probably through to'morrows session. Before its consideration was begun today, the house refused tq pass a bill provfcBng for the appointment of a committee to examine and report upon the pollution of river waters by sewage, having in view -.particularly the discharge of Chicago sewage into the Mississippi toy the new drainage canal; BARD FOR THE SENATE.

Committee Declarei Arrest of Contest ant's Witness Host Have In timidated Others. Gazette Bureau, Washington, Feb. 5. Mr. Roberts, of Massachusetts, sub mitted the majority report from the committee on elections No. 3 in the Pearson- Crawford contest. All the re publican members of the committee now in the city signed the report fa vorable to Pearson. Mr. Driscoll, of New York, was absent, and: has au thorized no statement as to his atti tude or purpose in the matter. The opinion of members of the house, dem ocrats as well as republicans, is prac tically universal that Pearson will get the seat. i By agreement the minority was al- ! owed ten days in which to file its re-i port favorable to Crawford. The ma jority report will not be printed until tomorrow, se I have been unable to see the original, as presented by Mr. Rob erts, but am told that it h? a very strong paper, and makes out a plural ity of 318 for Mr. Pearson. It rejects two precincts in Mitchell county in compliance with Crawford's demand. On the same ground upon which the present democratic legislature unseated Souther and Kurley, the committee re jected South Waynesville and Marble, which gave 289 plurality for Mr. Craw- fo d. The committee aiso rejected the returns, from Old Fort, Black Mountain, Limestone Ivy tnum!ber and AehevMe. It is under stood that Mr. Pearson was opposed to rejecting the Ashcville re turns, and acoordi'Qg to the ruling of the commiLttee, (he was allowed . something like two hundred majority over and above the gain, allowed at Ashevllle, but the committee felt constrained by the facte in the case, and by precedents clearly established in the house, itio car ry the matter to i'ts (logical iconcluisioin, and to 'throw out the returns. The committee seemed particularly. bent on rebuking ithe conduct of Mr. Murphy, who arrested the first of the contestee'e witnesses, and the commit tee declare that he could have nad no other purpose than to intimidate the other witnesses, and that it was an act of contempt to the authority of the no tary, who was for the tune, acting as an officer of the United States. ... This decision is equivalent to serving a cotice on the friends of the new elec tion law in North Carolina, that tneiT conduct, , and their methods may be care fully emd impartially reviewed- at enoTtof hVfine. - - - . f It is practically certain vthe the prefix Ex' will be dropped from Mr. Pear son's niame within the next fortnight.

Boers Have Continually Fought to Evade Obligations. Cape Town Despatch Tells of Fighting at nerval's Point. REPORT FROM DURBAN OF HEAVY FIRING SUNDAY AND VIGOROUS SHELLING OF BOER TRENCHES AT COKENSO GEN, FRENCH TRYING FOR BRIDGE ACROSS ORANGE RIVER, London, Feb. 5. A speech upon which hung the political fate of Its maker, was delivered in the house of commons today by Colonial Secretary Chamherlain . It is against this man. who was chiefly responsible for the ' war in South Africa, that the gather ing of bitterness and disappointment in British hearts will sooner or later be directed. Today he neither ack.uwl edged the responsibility nor sought ref uge iri the plea that the Boers were the real aggressors. He practically put the whole responsibility upon fate. Inher ent race differences made the war in evitable since long before Majuba Hill. That was the frasis of argument in his long speech, which waa undoubtedly clever, forcible and eloquent. He said the critical stage had been reached in the war, but he did not be lieve the country in danger. He insist ed that the war was just and' neces sary,, but refu'sed to discuss petty de tails. The issues ' were real and nt technical. The policy of magnanimity following Majufba Hill was a mistake. The whole history of the Anglp-Boer relation' was a continual effort on the pkrt of the Boers to. evade obligations which were a condition of , English magnanimity. The Boer policy had been to get rid of British supremacy, and that was the issue. When the present government 'came into power, it famd the irritation growing and . realized that the time had come ' when it musb-Jbe settled. It hoped a peace ful settlement of the war was pffSsibTo and the reason there was not enough, troops in South Africa when the war broke out was because the govern ment hoped for peace. Charrrherlaln admitted that the gov ernment had made mistakes, Jju't ev erywhere did their best to remedy ttie evils. He dwelt proudly on the valor of the troops. Never before had the nation realized its strength and unity. There were compensations for the evils of war. The two races in (South Africa would learn to respect each other andl when equal rights are shared by all the whites, he believed they .would enjoy the. land togethe-. tot peace j and prosperity. RUMORS OF SIGHTING. London, Tuesday, Feb. 6. The report of the advance of Buller is etill uncon firmed. It was announced at the war office that no news of his having re crossed the Tugela had been received, and .nothing has come from the cor respondente. Durban sends a repo'rz of heavy firing Sunday and records a high ly successful test of a new naval gun which was mounted on a special car, and vigorously shelled the Boer trenches behind . Oolenso. In te absence of anything important from Natal, attention is fixed on Coles burg, where great activity is reported. It is stated that General French is en gaged in an important movement with the object of seizing the railroad bridg atcross the Orange rtvr. A Cape Town dispatch says an over whelming cavalry force has been sent to seize Nerval's point. The cavalry, hav- ing completed the reconnoissance, are being retired to recoup their aosees.
