It is evident from General Buller's dis patch to the 'War Office and the ad vices in the Associated tress from Spearman's Camp, that a big battle is now being fought.

Republican Attorneys to Bring Tammsny Hall lata the Firht Croker Alleged to Be In League With Goebtl. . ' By Telegraph to the Mornina Star. Frankfort, Ky., January 20. Goverc or Taylor, in defendiug the contest for the Gubernatorial chair, brought against ' him by William Goebel, has through his attorneys spread a large drag-net, in gathering his evidence, and it is expected that before the contest is ended some sen sational evidence will be brought be fore the board. The Republican at torneys have decided to bring into the fight no less a factor JLhan Tammany Hall, and have already summoned as a wit nets one of the confidential ad visors of Richard Croker. The object of the bringing of witnesses from New xorJc will be to prove that Richard Croker, as the executive head of. Tam many Hall, was in league with Wil liam Goebel, the contestant in the present hearing, to carry the State for the Democratic nominee. The Republicans put on the stand during the day eight witnesses, of whom Colonel T. W. Bullitt - of Louisville was the star. Colonel Bullitt stated that he never saw so auiet an election in Louisville, and he escribed the orderly manner in which it was carried through, . Referring to the presence of the militia in the armory, he had, he said, ad vised Governor Bradley - to call out the militia as a preventative of possible rising:, but had urged him to take every precaution to see that the soldiers were not used for any par-, tisan purpose. The presence of the militia in the armory, he said, was the only thing that could have insured a quiet election. On cross-examination he said that he had never known greater anxiety at an election in Louis ville and declared the proclamation of the Mayor of Louisville was the chief cause of the great apprehension. Be ing asked if he did not believe the presence of the militia had intimidated several voters he replied that it had awed none but the lawless element of both parties. H.. Li. McDonald, of Louisville, tes tified in much the same strain as Col. Bullitt regarding the feeling in Louis ville in the moraine and the effect of the presence of militia in the armory. An adjournment was taken until 2 P. M. Monday. PORTO RICO COMMISSION. Seeking Pree Trade Opposed by the To bacco and Beet Sogar Interests Hearing Before Committee. By Telegraph to tbe Morning Star.

Aldrich, Republican, who contests the seat now held by Gaston A Robbins, Democrat, for the Fourth Congres sional district of Alabama. ' It is the first decision in a contested election case at the present session of Congress.

Roberts Committee Reports., The reports of the special committee of investigation in the case of Brigbam H. Roberts, of Utah, were presented to the House to-day. The majority re port, signed by Chairman Taylerand six of his associates, is a voluminous -i . . .... uuuumeui, ana is accompanied by a summary of the law and facts. It gives the details of the hearings, the ample opportunities afforded Mr. Rob erts to present his case, his refusal to testify, and the unanimous finding of facts, heretofore published. It pro ceeds: "The committee is unanimous in its belief that Mr. Roberts ought not to remain a member of the House of Representatives. A majority of the committee are of the opinion, that he ought not to be permitted to become a member; that the House has the right to exclude him. A minority are of the opinion that the proper course of procedure is to permit him to be sworn in and then expel him by a two-thirds vote under the constitu tional provision providing for expul sion. ' "Your committee desire to assert with the utmost positiveness at this point that not only is the proposition of expulsion as applied to this case against precedent but that exclusion is entirely in accord with principle, authority and legislative precedent and not antagonistic to any legislative action which the House of Represen tatives has ever taken."
