ROBERTS IS EXCLUDEDRefused Admission to House by 268

to 50.

EXPULSION DEFEATED, 81 TO 24Mr Lacey's Proposition Was De

clared Out of Order.

ANALYSIS OF THE VOTE

The case of Brigham H. Roberts, theMormon representative-elect from Utah,which has occupied so much of the atten-tion of the House of Representatives sincethe assembling of Congress, was decidedyesterday by the adoption of a resolutionto exclude him by a vote of 268 to 60.The exact language of the resolution fol-

lows:"That under the facts and circumstanceE

of the case Brigham H. Robertr, repre-sentative-elect from the state of Utah,ought not to have or hold a seat in theHouse of Representatives, and that the seatto which he was elected is hereby declaredvacant."The amendment to expel Mr. Roberts with-

out seating him, offered by Mr. Lacey, wasruled out on a point of order, and theHouse voted only upon the resolutions ofthe majority and minority of the commit-tee. The latter, to seat and then expelMr. Roberts, was defeated-81 to 244. An an-alysis of this vote shows that 170 republi-cans, seventy-two democrats and two pop-ulists voted against it, and seventy-onedemocrats, six republicans, two populistsand two silver republicans for it. The ma-jority resolutions, to exclude Mr. Robertsand declare the seat vacant, were adopted-268 to 50. The affirmative vote was di-

vided as follows: Republicane, 168; demo-crats, ninety-six: populists, four, and thenegative vote: Democrats, firty-seven; sil-ver republicans, two; populists, one.There were over a score of speakers, and

the closing speeches on each side were par-ticularly able. Mr. Lanham of Texas closedfor the majority, and Mr. De Armond of Mis-souri for the minority. Mr. Roberts waspresent throughout the day and left thehall only after the result of the last votehad been announced.As he did so he gave out a statement

Justifying his retention of his plural wiveson the ground that his moral obligationwas more binding upon his conscience thantechnical obedience to statutory law, andsaying that there was little excuse for theextraordinary efforts to crush a system al-ready abandoned and practically dead. Hesaid he was a martyr to a "spasm of preju-dice." He would not, he said, attempt torun for Congress again, although he wouldgo back home with a light heart, confidentof the future.Mr. De Armond devoted much of his time

to a legal argument against the propositionthat the House could add to the constitu-tional qualifications of members. He scoredthose who had unnecessarily abused Mr.Roberts.His utterance drew forth a round of ap-

plause. Mr. Roberts, who sat within twen-ty feet of Mr. De Armond, his head restingon his hand, did not move a muscle.Mr. Lanham (Tex.) closed the debate in

behalf of the majority resolution. Hisspeech was listened to attentively and fre-ruently evoked applause.

Lacey's Amendment Ruled Out.When Mr. Lanham concluded, Mr. Lacey

(Iowa) offered an amendment to the ma-

jority resolutions providing for the expul-sion of Mr. Roberts. To this Mr. Taylormade the noint of order that the amend-ment was not germane.The Speaker sustained the point of order

on the ground that the original propositiononly required a majority vote. while if theamendment were added, it would require atwo-thirds vote. The republicans applaud-ed the Speaker's ruling.Mr. Lacey appealed from the decision of

the chair.Mr. Tayler moved to lay that motion

upon the table. While the vote on the lat-ter motion was being taken, it being ap-parent that it would carry by a large ma-jority, Mr. Lacey withdrew the appeal.The first vote was then taken upon theadoption of the minority resolutions, topeat

and then expel Mr. Roberts. At the con-clusion of the roll call Mr. Tawney (Minn.)the republican whip, announced that on ac.count of the non-partisan character of thismotion he had made no effort to pair theabsent republicans.Mr. Underwood (Ala.) made a similar an-

nouncement concerning the democratic ab.sentees. The minority resolutions-to seaand expel Mr. 8toberts-were defeated, 81to 244.

Vote for Minority Resolutions.The following members voted for the

minority resolutions: Adamson, Allen (Ky.),Allen (Miss.), Atwater, Bailey (Texas),Ball, Bankhead, Bartholdt, Bartlett, Bell,Brewer, Broussard (La.), Burleson, Catch-ings, Chanler, Clayton (Ala.), Cooney,Cooper (Texas), De Armond, De Graffen-ried.

CHANDLER REPELS TUE CRARGE.Denies That Northern Politicians Pre-

cipitated the Civl War.The Senate remained in session last even-

ing until nearly 5 o'clock, when it adjournedto meet at noon Monday.After The Star's report of the proceed-

ings was closed Mr. Money said, replying toMr. Pritchard, regarding the proposed con-stitutionof North Carolina, that in no colonyof Great Britain, except in New Zealand,did the blacks participate -in the govern-ment. The plan had been tried, but thewhite race had found it Impossible to shareIn the government with the black."The people of the south," said Mr.

Money. "are justified and would be inexcus-able If they did not take every means per-mitted to them by the Constitution to re-tain in their hands the power of govern-ment, in the intersats of jusice, of rightand of civilization.Mr. Money anticipated there was no dan-

ger to the south of losing votes in the elec-toral college or representatives in Congressby the restrictions placed on suffrage.Mr. Cha'idler inquired how he would de-

fend the south's retention of its presentrepresentation in the electoral college incase the colored population should not bepermitted to vote.Mr. Money replied that the basis of a

state's representation in Congress and inthe electoral Lillege was based on popula-tion and not on votes cast.In a coloquy between Mr- Money and Mr.

Chandler, the latter alleged that the pass-age of the fifteenth amendment to the Con-situation was due to the rejection by thesouthern states of the fouirteenth amend-ment.Mr. Money said this whole question had

been opened by Mr. Pritchard's resolu-tion.Mr. Chandler retorted with much vehem-

ence that the whole southern question hadbeen opened by the remarkAble spech of Mr.Morgan, in which he had mistakenly ma-ligned the people of the ehtire north andwas being followed by other southern sena-tors in the same vein.At the conc'usion of 'the speech of Mr.

Money, Mr. Chandler said 'he desired tocall the Senate's attention to the utter-ance of Mr. Morgan, which hat called forthhis criticism. He read that paragraph ofMr. Morgan's speech, irn whidh the Alaba-ma senator had charged that the civil warhad been precipitated by designing politi-clans of the north with the idea of thrust-ing upon the people of the south the negroin social and political equality."I denounce that." shouted Mr. Chan-

dler, "as a slander upon the north and-"Mr. Pettus ('a.) "If the senator will

permit me-would It not be better-wouldit not be more decent for him to wait untilthe senator (Mr. Morgan) returns, beforecriticising him?"Mr. Chandler.-"I intend -to wait, but I

want the senior senator from Alabama,who is absent; I want the junior senatorfrom Alabama, who is now here, and Iwant the senators from the southern states,who have reopened this question. whichI supposed was forever dead in the Senate-to tell me whether the north Is to be ex-pected to allow a charge made upon thisfloor to go unanswered that the war forthe Union, which was a war growing outof a northern determination to prevent theextension of slavery into free territory, wasa war of ambitious politicians with a crueldesign to put negro slaves on a politica:and social footing of equality, with thesouthern whites. Now, if the southern sen-ators wish to discuss that question, theywill have plenty of time before this ses-sion ends."That ended the incident and at 4:45 the

Senate, went into executive session andsoon afterward adjourned until Monday.

THE WAIL WITH SPAIN.

Against the Bill Authorising Renewalof Pensions.

The Senate committee Jias received thefollowing report from the commissioner ofpensions upon the bill authorizing the re-newal of pensions to certain soldiers, sail-ors anti marines who served during the warwith Spain:

"'It is provided by existing laws that apension shall continue during the existenceof the disability on account of which it wasgranted. It is also provided by law that nopension shall be allowed and paid to anyofficer, non-commissioned officer, or privateIn the army, navy or Marine Corps of theUnited States, either on the active or re-tired list. Thus a pension granted to suchsoldier or' sailorWill cease upon his re-en-litmet in the ar. or navy or MarineCorps of the Uni{tn.es .and if the dis-abnlit: wpon which the pssin was basedcc.ntiinfes to' exist In a plsionable degreeafter his discharge fromn 'uch set jCe thelaw provides for its reneusal from fledataof his discharge.

NEW CHINESE HEIR APPARENT.

ifinister Wu Traces the Genealogy ofPa Chun, Son of Prince Tuan.

Mr. Wu Ting Fang, the Chineses min-ister here, was at first inclined to doubtthe report that Pu Chun, son of PrinceThan, had been appointed heir apparent tothe throne of China, but subsequently said:"I am unable to say whether it is true or

not. Thus far I have received hothing, offi-elal or unofficial, to indicate that such a:hange has been made or was contemplated.A short time ago a report was currentthat the son of Prince Tuan (erroneouslygiven in the dispatch as Prince Tuano)would be named as heir apparent. But Ihave not been informed that this would beione. It would not be surprising if anheir apparent were designated, as this oc-curs at times, usually in order to provide asuccession when an emperor. is sick orotherwise incapaciated."After consulting references on the gene-

slogy of the imperial family. Mr. Wu saidthat as near as he could tell Prince Tuans a son of the former emperor, Hien Fung.thus making the reported new heir appa-rent, Pu Chun, a grandson of EmperorHien Fung. The latter was followed byIing Chi, a son of the present empressicwager, who still retains her strong :n-luence over court affairs. Her son waswithout issue, and was succeeded by thepresent emperor, Kwang So, nephew ofthe. empress dowager, and designate:through her influence. In case the reportedchange has been made, it will be a continu-ince Of the same imperial family: at thehead of affairs, with the empress dowagerremaining as the strong power behind thethrone. Prince Tuan has been little kn3wnIn public affairs, which, however, is notsurprising, as members of the imperialhousehold do not mingle with the outsideworld and are practically unknown.When asied if such a change would entailmy change of Chinese policy Mr. Wu said:"Not in the slightest. It does not mdi-

:ate any change of policy in international)r foreign affairs, nor in our domestic af-!airs. Our people are a quiet, peaceful peo-ple, and have little regard for personal:hanges which may occur in the govern-rent."Nothing further has been heard from

[Jolted States Minister Conger at Pekinsince his cablegram yesterday announcinghe selection of an heir apparent to the7hinese throne Hence it is concluded thatis statement still stands good, and that:he action taken by the convocation ofJhinese notables was technically limited tohe naming of Pu Chun as heir apparent.But the history of the Chinese dynastiespoints very clearly, in the opinion of the)fficials here, to the speedy disappearancerom the scene either by death or abdica-tion of the present emperor. and a strong)asis for that belief is afforded by the cir-:ulation of rumors to the effect that he hasalready committed suicide.

SELECTION OF DELEGATES.

)hioans Who May Go to the Republi-can National Convention.

The OSo republican contingent in Wash-ngton is displaying more than ordinary in-erest in the selection of delegates to the'hiladelphia convention from the eigh-eenth Ohio district. President McKinley1imself is much interested in what shall)ethe result in'the three counties whichgent him to Congress continuously for moreban a dozen years.It is pretty generally conceded that Starktnd Mahoning counties will each get a

ielegate and one of those counties will betecorded an alternate or presidential'lector. In Mahoning county J. G. Butler,t wealthy iron manufacturer, is ambitiouso be a delegate, but he may be oppo.sed byI. H. Fitch, a wholesale grocer, who Is nowthairman of the republican county commit-ee. M. A. Norris, also of Mahoning coun-y, who is chairman of the republican state!ommittee, may also wish to attend the na-lonal convention in the capacity of a dele-rate.In Stark county, the President's home,

William H. Morgan of Governor hash'sstaff, Julius Whiting. Judge Baldwin andHenry Harter are being talked of as dele-,ates. They are all friends of PresidentMicKinley and all may want to go. If Co-umbiana is accorded an alternate, or theslector, the honor will likely go to ColonelFohn M. Taylor, a millionaire pottery man-ufacturer of East Liverpool, who is also awarm friend of President McKinley.

WILL NOT STAND FOR RE-ELECTION.

jtr. Roberts of Utah Speaks of. HisFuture Course.

Mr. Brigham H. Roberts gave out a state-ment last night in relation to his exclusion,n which he said:"I was elected by the people of Utah as

their representative by the substantial plu-rality of 5,065 votes. An effort was madeby what I believe to be an unconstitutionaland unprecedented process to exclude me

from ,the House of Represntatives. In be-half of myself and my constituents, com-prising the entire population of the state)f Utah. I did all I could to maintain theposition to which they had elected me; butthe House of Representatives, under thewhip and spur of popular sentiment, hasiecided to exclude me from the House. Ihave contended for my rights and therights of my constituents, single-handedand alone, to the best of my ability, buthave been overwhelmed by force of num-bers."So far as this matter is a personal affair,[ may say that whatever happens, the

member from Utah can congratulate him-self that from obscure birth and the condi-tions of iron fortune, and in spite of hav-ing espoused an unpopular faith -he hasfought his way upward until he reached asufficient. pminence to be the decidedthoioe of til people of a sovereign state toreprasent them in the American House ofRepresentatives. From that summit he washaurled down by the House under a spasmsf preitidice, arisIng from misimpresenta-tion and falsehood as to conditions existingin Utah. -That action will not ruin him.(3onseious of- the -rectitude .of his derar in-tentieus, he *Ill faoe -the future unscounnr-tged by this incident in. his career. ~and willwreave again his fortunes; he will face thefut're with a -light heart and a determina-tion, o succeed."No; will not stand for re-election asa vindi inof- hlmelf, even. should hispeople desirtis it; he will ask that his ax-elusion shall .be permnitted to cle'ge, for' thepresent, this incident in Utahs history.

SOUTH AFRICAN REPUBLIC.

Why Gen. O'Beirne Was Not Recog-nised as a Regresen'tative.The president, pro tem. of the Senate yes-

terday laid before that body a communica-tion of President McKinley in response to theresolution calling for information concern-ing the administration's refusal to recog-nize Gen. O'Beirne as a representative ofthe Transtaal. The President transmitteda communication from the Secretary ofState on this subject, which said:"In October last Gen. James R. O'Beirne,

a distinguished citizen of New York, visitedthe Department of State, intimating thathe was the accredited representative of theSouth African republic. He was courte-ously received, and informed that it wasnot the practice of the department of Stateto recognise a citizen of the United Statesas the representative of a foreign power.No government and no representative ofany government objected or protestedagainst the official recognition by the gov-ernment of the United States of Gen.O'Beirne or of any one else as the repre-sentative of the South African republic."

Use of Stamps Restricted.Secretary Gage has isued an order prohib-

it:ng the use of a stamp or typewriter bydisbursing officers to fill up checks. In acircular he says:"Attention has been called to the growing

practice among disbursing officers of usingrubber stamps or the typewriter to fill indates, payees' names and amounts ofchecks isued in payment of public creditors.The use of either of these methods is un-satisfactory and dangerous. Experiencehas shown that words and figures so writ-ten on the typewriter are easily erased.thus making substitution possible, whilethe impression made by a Stamp is oftenso dim as to be almost illegible. Paidchecks form important vouchers, which re-main permanent.y on file and are often re-ferred to years after their payment. AllUnited States dusbursing officers are, there-fore, enjoined not to employ either of theabove named methods In filling up officialchecks, and are hereby instructed to usepen and ink. only for this purpose."
