By Telegraph to tte Horning Star.
Washington, January 24. Routine
business occupied the attention of the
Senate to-day in a brief session. The
resolution offered yesterday by Sen
ator Pettigrew, South Dakota, calling
upon the President for information re
garding the treaty entered into with
the Sultan of Sulu was passed, after
Senator Pettigrew had made an attack
upon the administration for entering
into an agreement which he said au
thorized slavery.
Senator Allen offered a resolution
calling upon the Secretary of War for
all information and correspondence'
relating to the administration of cus
toms affairs in Puerto Rico, Cuba and
the Philippines since the war with
Spain. Objection being made it went
over. -
Senator PettigroW, South Dakota,
offered a resolution declaring that the
United States government would not
recognize the right of any nation to
declare as contraband and seize food
products as such, and that any such
seizure would be an act unfriendly to
the United States.- The resolution
went over under the rule.
Senator Pettigrew then ' called up
his 8ulu treaty resolution and made a
speech in its support. He. said that
slavery in its worst form existed in
the Sulu group of islands and the
treaty itself provided that every slave
could purchase his freedom at the
regular market price. He said the
amount of salaries paid to the Saltan
and his officials under the treaty was
$9,120, yet the Spanish government
paid to them only $6,300. A transla
tion of the treaty, he sai. was with
held from the people until after the
Ohio elections. This was merely a
part of the policy of concealment and
censoring adopted by the administra
tion. Benator Spooner, Wisconsin, asked
Senator Pettigrew if he meant to hold
the President responsible for the slave
ry clause in the Sulu treaty. "I do,"
Senator Pettigrew replied.
"Then," said Senator Spooner, "I
will read from the message of the Presi
dent to Congress. The President says:
I have confirmed said agreement, sub
ject trr the action of Congress, and
with the reservation which I have di
rected shall bi communicated to the
Sultan of Jolo that this agreement is
not to be deemed in any way to au
thorize or give the consent of the Uni
ted States to the existence of slavery
in the Sulu archipelago.' "
Senator Pettigrew replied that there
was no assurance that the President's
statement would ever reach the Sul
tan. He declared it was simply a case
of double-dealing and nothing else.
At the conclusion of the address of
Senator Pettigrew Senator Lodge, Mas
sachusetts, said that while the resolu
tion was covered by one previously
adopted there was no objection to its
passage. It was then adopted. .
A joint resolution diverting and set
ting apart $50,000 out of the sums
heretofore appropriated for jetty work
at Cumberland sound, in the Slates of
Florida and Georgia, for sluicing and
dredging at the entrance of the sound,
was passed.
Senator Carter, Montana, chairman
of the Census committee, made a par
tial report of the conferees on the bill,
conferring additional authority upon
the director of the census. The par
tial report was then agreed to.
' Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, moved
that the Senate recede from its disa
greement as to the collection of statis
tics of the deaf, dumb and blind. He
insisted that the Senate should adhere
to its original purpose of restricting
the limits of the census proper, in order
not to let down the bars on all sorts of
class information. Senator Cockrell
spoke in favor of his motion.
Senator Chandler warned the Senate
that any extension of the work of the
: census would result in so clogging it
that it would be years before any tan
gible results would be obtained.
During the debate which followed
the motion, Senator Chandler and
Senator Tillman were pitted against
each other, Senator Chandler declar
' ing that it would be impossible for
even the South Carolinian to get the
necessary information within the
period of thirty days,
"Possibly," responded Senator Till
man ; "I am not so nervous orjso much
like a grasshopper as the Senator from
New Hampshire.
"A pitchfork never touches a grass
hopper," said Senator Chandler in
reply to this sally and Senator Till
man's reply was drowned in the burst
' of laughter which followed.
Senator Cockrell's motion to recede
was lost yeas SO, nays 32. .
Senator Pettigrew moved that the
House amendment relating to the col
- lection of statistics of mines and
mining be agreed to by the Senate,
The motion was defeated 35 to 16. -
The Senate further insisted upon its
disagreement and - senators Uarter,
uaie and , ALcunery were named as
conferees.
The Senate then at 2.40 P. M. ad
journed.
House of Represeotatives.
- The second day's debate in the House
upon the Roberts case was less dra
matic than that of yesterday. The eal
leries were almost as crowded but the
ladies were less demonstrative.
Mr. Roberts was not present during-
the day. Had he been he would have
heard the most scathing excoriation of
the Mormons ever delivered upon the
floor of the House. Mr. Land is, of
Indiana, the young orator who distin
guished himself during the last Con
gress in an oratorical duel with Mr.
Johnson of his State, won new laurels
to-day. 'tie charged that Utah had
been admitted to the Union as a result
of a Mormon conspiracy, and reviewed
the history of the apostles of the
church, whom he charged with living
in open and flagrant violation of the
statute against polygamy, to show they
had basely broken their solemn pledge
io me government.
- xne otner speakers - to day were
Messrs. Powers. Republican. Vermont.
and MyersDemocrat, Indiana, for the
majority resolutions; Messrs. . fcmod
grass, Democrat. Tennessee, and Wil
son. Silver Republican, Idaho, for the
minority resolutions; .Mr. Lacey, Re
publican, Iowa, for his proposition to
6xpell without swearing in, and Mr.
Crumpacker, Republican, Indiana, for
exclusion by a two-thirds majority.
- The speeches to-day greatly
strengthened the majority resolutions
which seemed in danger of failing
after Mr. Littleneld's speech yester
day, and chairman Tayler was confi-
l dent to-night lhat they would

Mr. Powers, JVermbnC suggested
: that "we are not seDaratine- wife from
; husband," as polygamy has never !
been legal in Utah, but being illegal ;
under the common law of England. j
Mr. l-andis - contended that Mr. j
TV t . i . . 1 1 1 . f i
xvuueris was not enuuea w aumissio
because he had violated Utah's com-
Eact with the United States. Mr.
tandis. resented as unworthy of belief
the charge made, be said, by Senator
Rawlins that the- President had ap
pointed notorious polygamists. The
Senator might as well accuse the
House of endorsing polygamy since it
had passed a bill appropriating $40,000
for the agricultural college at Logan,
Utah. ; v..
"The president of that college," said
he, "is a polygamist, living in open
and notorious polygamy with three
wives. - One of his leading professors
is a polygamist, living with two wives.
The trustee is a polygamist, living in
open and notorious polygamy "With
seven wives (laughter) and they have
blessed him with thirty-nine children
(laughter) .
After detailing the polygamous rela
tions of other Mormon leaders Mr.
Landis continued: - v
"Pages might be written of the vio
lation of the compact by which Utah
was given a star. Ah! Mr. Speaker,
that star is a fallen star; it does not
shine with the brilliancy and lustre of
her sister stars. It shines by cunning
and bv deceit, by treachery, by fraud.
It sneaks of crime and of violation of
the most solemn covenant : ever made
between a territory and the Union.
Applause.
We have as a "representative from
Utah a man with three wivesu the last
one taken, the report says, as7 near as
we can ascertain, before 1890. . I be
lieve and he did not' deny that that
woman became his .plural wife after
Utah was taken into the American
Union. And I charge here that Utah
came in as the result of a deliberate
conspiracy to free that people from
the heavy hand of the. Federal au
thority, and thus enable them to live
their religion unhindered. In 1896
Mr. Roberts was a candidate for
Congress and the church discip
lined and defeated him because the
time was not then rine for a
polygamist to come to the Ameri
can Congress. He became a candidate
in 1898 and the man who placed him
before the convention stated that he
ran by permission of the church. In
1898 we were engaged in a war with a
foreign foe.- American manhood was
away from home and all absorbed in
country. Valor was at war and virtue
was at prayer. The North and South
under one. flag! They hoped in this
general condition of magnanimity to
come back, and it was then this per
jured cheat attempted to crawl in. Sir,
it came by itself, but it will be hurled
bacK boldly in the open day by the
outraged indignation of the American
people, Applause. And across yon
threshold will be written in letters
large enough to be read from the Na
tional Capitol to the Mormon Temple:
No polygamist shall ever sit as mem
ber of the American Congress.' f Ap
plause.
"The gentleman from Utah. (Mr.
Roberts) has been particular severe
on the missionaries. I do not wonder
at it. The missionary has given at
tention to the polygamist, has stood in
his path, has scattered thorns along
his way, and for this he is branded as
a spotter, an informer and a spy. His
tory will bear out this statement, that
although these fanatical priests and
their deluded followers nut a thou
sand miles of trackless wilderness, a
thousand miles of desert waste, infest
ed with savages, between civilization,
between their camp of bigotry and
crime, yet the distance was not loo
great nor were the hardships too
severe to daunt the spirit of the mis
sionary of the Christian church. He
tracked polygamy and faced it in its
lair. The Danites, as cruel and piti-
js a band of . cut-throats as ever
handled the glittering steel, carried on
the murderous work of the church.
Still the missionary toiled on, The
Blood Atoners silenced for ever
in i death the voice of apos
tacy, but that hindered not the
missionary. The government practi
cally abandoned the field, considering
mat it was powerless to hinder that
monster, fortified in those mountain
fastnesses; but the American Christian
missionary, with a couraee that now
seems sublime, with a fidelity to pur-,
pose that is now an inspiration, battled
on in the fear of God and for the love
of God and for the love of humanity.
Applause.
"I say that the people of this coun
try;, expect us to turn him back." said
Mr. Landis in conclusion. "I protest
against his coming in. I protest on
behalf of the constituency - that has
read the Ten Commandments and the
Sermon on the Mount. I protest on
behalf of the American homes, made
beautiful by love and devotion and
holy by the virtue of our womanhood.
I protest on behalf of the American
mother and her child, and the Ameri
can father who will never consent to
the enthronement and deification of
human passion and of those doomed to
illegitimacy. .The' country is waiting
for us to act; from New England,
whose homes have been made a pat

Mr. Lacey. Iowa, argued in behalf
of his proposition for the expulsion of
Mr. Roberts without swearing him in.
Mr. Wilson, Idaho, challenged some
of the statements made against the
Mormon people. He said he repre
sented thirty thousand Mormons, who
in good citizenship equalled any other
constituency and they had lived up to
their promise. - -
The House then adjourned.

To judge from the enthusi
asm of the various representatives
of foreign countries at the consular
dinner last night at the Grand
Pacific hotel, the whole world, from
Japan to Greece, is in love with this
country. Even the Spanish consul
declared that the United States is
the ' "greatest country "on earth."

The statement made in the
dispatch from the seat of war in
Africa, on Saturday, that the bom

shells .from heavy guns were fired
by the United States fleet against
Battery Wagner during the two days

r Wheu the war with Spain

London, January 25, .4.15 A.J1
The morning papers went to press
with, conjectures and forecasts of all
sorts, striving to guess out something
from Spion Kop. -i , cr - - .
Spion Kop is the highest part of a
rocky plateau. Eastward for about
eight miles. are the Boer: positions
along -the Tugela; " Northwestward
from Soion Kon the Til&teau runs
gradually up to a great spur of the
Drakensburg. ...
- titeneral Buller's infantry, to reach
the summit of Spion Kop, must cross
a natural glacis three quarters, of . a
mile wide and climb 500 feet up a
steep slope. -
Nobody here seems to know, not
even the War Office, what Lord Rob
erts has done with his large reinforce
ments. Six thousand troops awaited
"his arrival at Cape Town and since
then six thousand others have reached
there. Military critics are all hoping
that a good share of these 12,000 have
gone to help General Buller, and they
argue that a few days' wait may
make him strong enough to overcome
the deadlock.
There are ninoteenthousand troops at
sea and tnis heavy, weight on the
British side is expected to destroy the
equilibrium now existing on every
field or operations.
The British losses ud to date in

London, January 25. The Daily
Telegraph publishes - the following
from Spearman's . camp, dated- Tues
day, January 23d, 9.80 PMr
"On Monday Bir Charles Warren's
forces cannonaded and fusiladed the
Boer position west of Spion Kop, near
the Acton Homes road. A lyddite
battery co-operated with the other bat
teries and Maxims, uertainly the lire
was effective, causing the enemy
serious losses. The Boers, however,
clung desperately to their works, from
which they are only being very slowly
driven. To day the enemy fired their
guns oftener, using also the captured
fifteen-pounders with shrapnel. Our
casualties to day were less even than
those of yesterday.
"Fighting began about 6 o clock in
the morning and continued until dusk.
but there has been nothing like a gen
eral engagement. The naval big guns
assisted from Poltgieters Drift in shell
ing the Boer positions."
The Fighting on Tuesday.
Spearman's Camp, Tuesday, Janu
ary 23, 9.30 P. M. The British field
artillery and howitzers shelled the
enemy posted on the crest of the ridge
this morning.
Tbe infantry, under excellent cover,
kept up an effective rifle fire. The
Boers resigned a kopje, of which tne
British infantry ,took possession.
When retiring, the enemy, sheltered
themselves behind a stone wall on the
slope of the kopje, which they held for
hours.
This afternoon they are across the
ravine. The British artillery poured
shrapnel andlyddite into them and the
infantry took the stone wall. The
British casualty list was smau.
London. Jan. 25. A dispatch to the
Times from Spearman's Camp, dated
Tuesday, 9 P. M., says:
The Boers to-day had more guns and
are prepared to fight almost intermin
ably, haying entrenched their ridge,
which stretchesin an almost unbroken:
line from the Drakensberg many miles
eastward.
"Firing continued throughout the
day. i We have not advanced any fur
ther, but we threw up entrenchments
during the night, from behind which
the musketry duel continued from ex
actly the same position as yesterday."
