A FIGHT .WITH BOERS.
Methuen's Broken Communica
tion Restored.
BRIDGE OPEX ACROSS THE JIODDER
from a. Dispatch Issued by a Beer
Asency In Berlin, It Appears There
Are Some 15,000 Boers Around Meth
uen Bridge at Frcre Finished.
London, Dec. 9. General Forestier
Walker sent t)ie following dispatch to
the war ofiice from Capo Town:
"Telegraph and railway communica
tion to Modder river has been reopened,
A battery of field artillery and a bat
talion of infantry were dispatched from
Modder river against Commandant
Prins Loos' force of 1,000 Boors with
one gun, who had destroyed the rail
way. Our losses were 14 in wounded.
"Belmont has been strengthened by
infantry and two guns, and a cavalry
regiment and troops from Naauw Poort
occupied Arundel Thursday.
"The enemy's forces near General
Gatacre are reported as follows:
"At Dordrecht, SOO; marching from
Jamestown to Dordrecht. 500, with six

jruns; at Stormberg, 1,500; at Waterfall,
a large force, strength unknown; at
Moheno. about 400.
"Lord Methuen reports casualties
Dec. 6, on patrol duty, as follows:
'Missing, Lientenant Tristram and
four men of the Twelfth Lancers;
wounded, four men."
Some interesting light was thrown on
the position of affairs along the western
frontier by a dispatch issued by a Boer
agency in Berlin. The dispatch said:
"Uommanaam txins uoos lorue in ueur
Jacobsdal, between Modder river and
Biet river. General Cronje is, still on
the north bank of Modder river, his rear
being protected by fortified positions at
Spytfontein. The hills between Modder
river and Spytfontein and those between
Jacobsdal and Riet river are occupied by
Boers. Commandant Delarey's torce is
stationed between Gras Pan and Honey
Nest kloof."
If this Berlin dispatch be correct
and it is especially significant when
gunged in connection with General For-estier-Walker's
advices to the war office
there must be some 15,000 Boers
around Lord Methuen, who is believed
to have 11,000 men. Kimberley, how
ever, possessing an armored train, can
materially assist Methuen by harrassing
the Boers from the rear.
Fkeue Camp, Dec. 9. Tho trestle
bridge was finished and, the trains were
traversing it.
London, Dec 9. The Times has the
following from Modder river, dated
Tuesday, Dec 5:
"The river is low and the railway
bridge is rapidly approaching comple
tion and tho first train will cross to
night. After extraordinary exertions
the pontoon bridge has been completed."
.London, uec 9. Accoraing to a spe
cial dispatch from Pretoria, General
Joubcrt recently proposed an exchange
of prisoners, especially Lady Sarah
Wilson for a Boer lady, taken prisoner
at Mafeking. Laoy Wilson is an aunt
of Winston Churchill and tho wife of
Captain C. C. Wilson of the Koyal
Horse Guards. This was tho first uett
nite news that'she was a prisoner. Lady
Wilson had been acting in the double
capacity of newspaper correspondent
and Bed 'Cross nurse, and there had
been much anxiety about her.' When
last heard from, Lany Wilson had left
Mafeking on horseback, with her maid
as her solo conipanian. She was re
ported to have reached Satlagoli.
Pretoria, Thursday, Dec. 7. The
following dispatch, dated today, has
been received from the head laager
near Ladysmith:
"The British are advancing on Co
lenso, but' last night passed without an
attack- .There was a desultory cannon
ade this morning, the naval guns in
Ladvsmith replying vigorously to our
fire."
Advices from Frero camp showed that
the bombardment of Ladysmith was
continued Thursday, Dec. 7. A pneu
matic dynamite gun on TJmbulwana
hill commenred the work.
Pretoria. Wednesday, Dec. 6. Fight
ing commenced near Modder river about

ported recent -great insurgent victories
in Luzon and fanay. which tho natives
believe. The extent of the outbreak

culties arises from the circulation of

WE WILL TELL YOU IF YOU WILL

The Experience of Well Known Persons Ought
Surely to be Convincing.
"We ask you to read the following
statement irorn a weii-Known citizen
because he sufferd from one of the
worst kind of cases of backache and
kidney disorders, and was cured by
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. If you are in
the least way troubled with a weak
back, or disordered kidneys, use Mor
row's Kid-ne-otds; they cure every
time.
Mr. W. J. Lenhart,709 Sterling st.,
Cleveland, Ohio, says: "I have suf
fered for years with disordered kid
neys, also severe backache, headache
and rheumatism. I doctored with
different physicians and took all
kinds of kidney cures but it seemed
that there was no sure cure for me.
I read about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
somo time ago, and determined to
give them a trial. After I had taken
them a few days I was greatly re
lieved. I will continue to use Mor

A
Charges on File In Two Coun
ties, Said Opponents.
TOOK WIVES, DEFH3IG THE LAYT.
(.dnltery a Crime la Utah When Roberts
Was Horn Cullom Anti-Polygamy .let
Passed, When He Was Six Years Old.
Charges Against Mormons.
Washington, Dec. 0. An answer to
Mr. Bngham Roberts' address to the
American people was issued by a dele
gation renresenting the Gentile cio
nient in Utah, who ar9 here to oppose
Mr. Roberts. The answer said in part:
Whenever a "prima facio" eae 1? made
acainst a member's citizenship by show
lug that under a conviction for felony
apainst the laws of the United States he
Is disfranchised and furthor that by
reason of his present maintenance of tho
status of a polypamist lie Is again suffer
ing from civil disability under tho Ed
munds anti-polygamy act, such a mem
ber refusing even to deny the charm?.
6houia be excluded. Nor is this danger
ous, for it is not likely, as Mr. Roberts
seems to assume, that an entire minority
or all representatives of a large state aro
coming to congress carrying such a bur-
iv" t . uluer states, men who Haunt
their violations of the laws of decency in
the face of the public are sent to the peni
tentiary. r
Mr. Roberts' contention that no evi
dence of his guilt can be recched except
a judicial record of his conviction in Utah
as a matter of law is erroneous and, as a
, v; , l practice, aangerous, oecauso
Mr. Roberts and his all-powerful and in
spired priesthood can pro ent such convic
tion if they consider it worth while.
If at the time of the passage of the en
abling net Mr. Roberts was, as ho beenis
in his appeal to admit, disfranchised by
act of congress, and therefore not a full
citizen of tho United State?, as by the con
stitution he must be, to become a member
of congress, then he is still in that same
condition, becmse the constitution of
Utah could not restore him to federal citi
zenship and the enabling act did not do it.
The enabling act of Utah, unliko that of
somo other states, required citizenship of
the United States as a qualification for
voting and did not confer that citizenship
upon those then not such citizens.
Mr. Roberts says he has not been con
victed since statehood. It docs not follow
that he is innocent. He is now a fugitive
from justice in Salt Lake county, on a
charge of unlawful cohabitation and in
D.ims county, Utah, where resides one of
his polygamous wives with her illegiti
mate twins, born Aug. 11, 1697, a charge
of adultery (a felony under the laws of
Utah) has been for two months pigeon
holed by the Mormon prosecuting attor
ney. Mr. Roberts, in his attempts to belittle
his crimes, insists that he is only charged
with a misdemeanor. Ho knows better.
He knows that he has been, under oath
and before the proper prosecuting of
ficers, charged with the felony of adultery
as well as the misdemeanor of unlawful
cohabitation. He asserts that in 18d9 ho
pleaded guilty to amlsdemeanor only, and
also says that if ho were guilty of the same
acts in the District of Columbia "even
flagrantly so" that as a member of con
gress he could not be arrested therefor,
Because it isonly,a misdemeanor. Here
again Mr. Roberts states what is not true,
and ho ought to know it. Unlawful co
habitation under the-Edmunds act, under
which he pleaded 'guilty, was a felony,
as also is adultery, with which Mr. Rob
erts is charged in Davis county, Utah. In
the District of Columbia, both unlawful
cohabitation and adultery are felonies, as
denned by the Utahstatutes, and it is only
in Utah that the former is a misdemeanor.
Manv sentimental nonnlr. arc hairier inU.
led by Mr. Roberts' very ingenious sugges
tion irom which somo pcopio infer that he
took his polygamous wives when it was
lawful to do so. This is a mistake. Adul
tery was a crime in Utah when Mr. Rob
erts was born, and at the time of tho pas
sage of the Cullom anti-polygamy act, Mr,
Boberts wss only (5 years old.
His plea for 'syhipathy, therefore,
amounts only to this, that ho should be
allowed to continue his criminal prac
tices notwithstanding he took his polyga
mous wives in defiance of law. We de
mand that he should support his families.
but also demand that he shall cease tho
begetting of further Illegitimate offspring
and this is our only bono of contention,
the only thing demanded which ho re
fuses to yield.
Ex-Congressman W. H. King was and
is a Mormon, and no claim of ineligibility
was ever made against him. We point to
this fact as showing that wo oppose Mr.
Roberts not upon the ground of any reli
gious opinions entertained by him, but
Eccauso of his criminal practices. Neither
is this a matter of religious or political
persecution or prejudice. Tho under
signed include men of different churches
and men who belong to no church.
Mr. Roberts denies and we assert that
the conmact between Utah and tho other
states has been violated.
That compact was evidenced by many
public acts.
Hero are given different cvidances of
the fact that the Mormon church and Mor
mon pcopio agreed to stop polygamous
practices.
The statement then said in part:
As evidence that this compact has been
broken wo point to tho following:
First That in Utah 1.00Q illegitimate
children have been born to polygamous
wives slnto statehood.
Second That about 2,000 polygamous
households now exist in Utah and that
the attempt to secure a punishment of
these offenders is denounced by the major
ity, as wo believo, of Utah's citizens.
Third That the circumstantial evi
dence unmistakably points to tho exist
ence of now wives in polygamous house
holds, tho most conspicuous examples of
which aro the cases of Apostles Abraham
H. Cannon, John W. Taylor and Apostle
Tcusdale, in at least tho ftrst of which the
church organ of the dominant church re
fuses to deny tho marriage and tho now
polygamous wife is employed as teacher
III .1 UUUKll liUUWJJMJ'.
Fourth That tho T2ry men who inter
preted tho manifesto of 18W)to prohibit
unlawful cohabitation with prior acquired
wives now publicly justify its continu
ance. Fifth That most of tho samo men who
in a petition for amnesty pledged their sa
cred honor for the obedience ot tho law by
their people aro now by example and pre
cept encouraged to commission of tho
crime of unlawful cohabitation.
Sixth As a further ovidenco of this bad
faith, we call attention to the fact that
men holding high church ollice havo plead
c-ulltv to the ornno of unlawful cohabita
tion before tho state courts without hav
ing their church standing affected, oven
in some eases having thoir fines paid by
sympathetic friends.
Seventh All this is by necessary impli
cation indorsed by, a majority of Utah's
peoplo In the election of lirigliam H. Rob
erts, who, during his campaign for elec
tion, wiis publicly charged with being a
violator of tho laws, as evidencod by his
11 legitimate progeny, and in spito of these
undented charges ho was elected by an
overwhelming majority.
That Mr. Roberts himself understood
thnt compact to mean tho diocuntlnu&nce
of unlawful cohabitation wo point to his
rcgistrntion oath of 1SD3, iu whxh ho
tvrorc It to lie his intention to oboy tho
law prohibiting unlawful colmbltation.
The statement was signed by tho fol
lowing; T. C. lllff, Salt Lake; G. W..
Martin, Mantl, Utah; C. M. Owen, Salt
Lake; G. M. Coombs, Urighom City,
Utah, and A. T. Schroedor, Salt Like.
The committee which is to inquire
into tho status of Mr. Roberts of Utah
held a protracted scssiou behiud closed
doors. During tho tarly hours of tho
meeting Mr. Roberts was present uud
made a statement o3 to his general
wishes in connection with tho inquiry.
He euid ho was specially desirous ot hav
ing tho committee first go into his
prima facio. right to a seat, afterwords
faking up the general merits of the sub
iect. He said he favored oppn sessions.
He indicated also that ho desired to pre
sent testimony relative to the manner in
which the charges againtt him were
prepared. Mr. Roberts tnen retired.
A brief session followed a. recess and
tfren an adjournment was taken until
today.
2Co announcement was made except
that Chairman Taylor (Ohio) said the
worK was progressing satisfactorily and
smoothly. It is understood that some
question exists as to whether Roberts
shall be treated as a contesting member
or be asked to plead, us in a trial, and
the committee will probably hear him
further before reaching a conclusion.
CUKEENCx BILL MONDAY.
Uocse Adopted Order For Considera
tion Xo Vote In Week
Afterward.
Washington, Dec. 9. The house
adopted a special order for the consider
ation of tho currency bill, beginning
next Monday. The general debate will
be continued until Friday, on Saturday
amendments may be offered under the
five minute rale and on the following
Monday the vote will be taken. The
Democrats, Populists and Silverites pre
sented a solid front against the adoption
of the resolution, and every Republican
voted for it.
Mr. Richardson, leader of the mi
nority, taunted some of the majority
leaders with their change of trout in
coming out flat footedly for the gold
standard, but Mr. Grosvenor and Mr.
Cannon good naturedly replied that they
had learned something with advancing
years. The former said the Democratic
party was the only living demonstration
of the survival of the great organization
which refused to learn anything.
LENTZ WANTS AN INVESTIGATION.
Introduced a Resolution to Xook Into
Idaho Mining Trouble.
Washington, Dec. 9. Representa
tive Lentz (O.) introduced a joint reso
lution reciting the charges growing out
nf thn rn-RRpnnn nf TTnitpd States troons
under Brigadier General Merriam at the '
centers of mining troubles iu Idaho aud
asKiug tor an investigation Dy a special
committee of nine members, to be ap
pointed by the speaker.
The resolution said that it was a mat
ter of generil information that United
States troops were sent to Idaho in defi
ance of and contrary to the federal con
stitution, at the individual request of
the governor, when no riot or insurrec
tion existed, and without consulting the
legislature or the local sheriff.
The arrests, it was charged, included
many members of the miners' union
and tho local sheriff. It was asserted
that many men were imprisoned in a
"bull pen, a place unfit for human
habitation." Allegation was made that
one prisoner oecame insane irom tne
treatment, and escaping was shot as he
jumped into a river. In another case,
it was charged, a dying prisoner was
denied spiritual consolation. Specific
acts of cruelty are given.
The resolution also recited that the
wives and families of miners were in-,
suited by soldiers, and it was alleged'
that responsibility for the various actions
recited rested with the mining coniua
nies of tho localities.
OUR BLACK PLATE THE BEST."
Assertion aiade by an Independent Tin
pluto Manufacturer.
Washington, Dec. 9. Nattum A.
Taylor of the N. & G. Taylor company,
independent' tinplate manufacturers of
Philadelphia, was before the industrial
commission. He said that the black
plate manufactured in the United States
was immensely superior to that made
abroad and also that some improve
ments in the tinning process had been
made in the United States.
He, however, considered a tariff nec
essary to prevent foreign makers from
at any time dumping any surplus of
plate they mizht have on hand and
thus demoralizing the market, He said
the "American Tinplate company had
manifested no disposition to take ad
vantage of its opportunity to increase
prices.
Democrats Considered Reorganization.
Washington. Dec. 9. The Demo
cratic caucus committee of tho senate'
considered the reorganization of the
senate committees. A disposition was
manifested to resist the demand of the
Republican senators tor increased rep
resentation on the leading committees,

The Democrats -were especially dis
pleased with the prospect of not being
able to-fill one of the vacancies on the
finance committee.

Frankfort, Ky.f Dec. 0. Two mem
bsrs of the state election board handed
down an opinion, giving the election to
Tcvlor. A third handed down an
opinion against Taylor.
Commissioners Ellis and Pryor signed
the majority report, in which they hold
that as a board of canvassers they have I
no right to go behind the returns of the I
county Dooru, mat tneir amy is pureiy
mimsfprial nq ranrnKAM. r.hnr. r.riR f.arrft
of the returns show the election of the
Kepubhcan state ticket.
Commissioner Ponytz presented a mi-
nority report, which he closes by say -
ing: "I am unwilling to certify fraud
and to turn Kentucky over- to tho con-
trol of the bavonet. jrathnor mi and the
fraudulent tissue ballots." j
Extensive preparations were bein:r"
made to inaugurate Taylor next Tues
day. Goebel may mako a contest in the leg
islature. Politicians of both parties departed
from Frankfort in great numbers. All
the Democratic and Republican attor
neys left for home. Colonel JackChinn,
who has been attached to the 'Goebel
headquarters, left, remarking with a
laugh as he passed through the hotel i
door: "I guess it is all up with us for
this time."
There is no indication of any trouble.
There has been a great amount of money
bet on the election throughout Ken
tucky f to wno would be tne next gov
ernor or the state, and the bettors are
trying to decide whether if Taylor is de
clared governor aud later ousted by the
legislature as not being a legal incum
bent he was in fact actually governor at
ail in tfie eyes of the law. The Taylor
bettors construe it one,way and natur-j
ally the Gqebel men figure it out differ- J
ently. There has been so much money
wagered ou the outcome that the thing
has really a curious hide to it. I
