BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, JAN. 18, 1900. LADYSMrTH HEADING OFF INJUNCTION. Drainage Commissioners Hurry Up Open­ ing of Iiookport Gates. JOLIET, Ills., Jan. 18.—Fears of ac­ tion on the part of St. Louis to prevent by injunction the raising of the gates controlling the waters of the Chicago drainage canal at Lockport caused a hur­ ried conference between the sanitary trustees and the special comifiission cre­ ated to pass on the canal here. The ob­ ject of the conference was to secure tha necessary permit from the commission. This was secured and the trustees and commissioners left a few hours later foi Lockport to open the gates. The hur­ ried action of the drainage trustees was the result of a movement on the part oi attorneys in Chicago to secure an in­ junction from federal Judge Kohlsaal restraining the board from opening the gates of the controlling works at Lock port. The trustees left Chicago on a special train at an early hour and after a briei stop here returned to Lockport about o'clock. It was expected that the worli of opening the gates. would not con sum' more than one hour. At Joliet the work is not yet in shape to receive the full volume of water, bul the trustees decided to take the risk and avoid the possibility of being tied up in the courts. It is probable the gates will be onlj partially opened. Ask Ieave to File a Bill. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—The state oi Missouri, by its attorney general, Mr E. B. Crow, made application in the su­ preme court and asked leave to file 8 bill praying for an injunction againsl the state of Illinois and the city of Chi­ cago to restrain them from operating the recently opened drainage canal The court took the motion but did no! indicate when action would be taken. towered the Dam.

IS A POLYGAMIST Eoberts Investigating Committee Unanimous in Its Finding of Facts. Uliglit Difference of Opinion Re­ garding Proper Mode of Proceedure. Majority Report Will Recom­ mend That He Shall Not Be Seated. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—The special committee of the house of representa­ tives to investigate the case of Brigham H. Roberts of Utah, has reached a final conclusion. On the polygamous status of Mr. Roberts the committee was unan­ imous and agreed upon a formal state­ ment of facts. On the question of pro­ cedure to be adopted the committee was divided. The majority, consistting of all the members except Ldttlefield of Maine and De Armond of Missouri, favored exclu­ sion at the outset. Messrs. Littlefield and De Armond will make a minority report favorable to seating Roberts on his prima facie rights and then expel­ ling him. The Facts as Found. The statement of facts found by the oommittee is as follows? "We find that B. H. Roberts was elected as representative to the Fifty sixth congress from the State of Utah, and was at the date of his election above the age of 2o years that he had been for more than seven years a naturalized citizen of the United States and was an inhabitant of the State of Utah. "We further find that about 1878 he married Louisa Smith, his first and law­ ful wife, with whom he has ever lived as such, and who has since borne liim six children. "About 1885 he married as his plural wife, Celia Dibble, with whom he has ever lived as such, and who, since such marriage, has borne him six children, oi which the last were twins, born Aug. 11,1897. "That some years after his marriage to Celia Dibble he contracted anothei plural marriage with Margaret C. Shipp, with whom he has ever since lived in the habit and repute of marriage. "Your committee is unable, to fix the exact date of this marriagel It does not appear that he held her out as his wife before Jan. 1, 1897, or that before that date she held him out as her husband, or that before that date they were re­ puted to be husband and -wife. "That these facts were generally known in Utah, publicly charged against him during his campaign for election and were not denied by him. "That the testimony bearing on those facts was taken in the presence of Mr. Roberts and that he fully cross-exam­ ined the witnesses, but declined to place himself on the witness stand." The culminating session of the com­ mittee followed many prolonged execu­ tive sessions, which left no doubt as to the attitude of the several members, with the exception of Mr. Miers of In diania, who had been out of the city. He has now returned, and it was deter­ mined to bring the matter to a direct issue. Accordingly when the commit­ tee met Mr. McPherson of Iowa offered a resolution for the exclusion of Roberts. I»e Armond Proposes a Substitute. Mr. De Armond immediately proposed, a substitute, recognizing the constitu­ tional rights of Roberts to take his seat on his credentials, and providing for his expulsion. There was no discussion beyond in­ formal remarks and the vote was first taken on Mr. De Armond's substitute, Mr. Littlefield joining him in the affirm­ ative and the others voting in opposi­ tion. The vote was then taken on Mr. McPherson's motion to exclude, result­ ing as follows: Yeas—Taylor (O.), Frear, Morris and McPherson, Republicans Tjmhan and Miers, Democrats. Nays—Littlefield, Republican De Armond, Democrat. Chairman Tayler was authorized to prepare the majority report. It will be ready in a few days and the prospects are that the subject will be brought be­ fore the house early next week. Mr. De Armond will submit the views of the minority. He will include the ex­ haustive review of the law, covering about 70 typewritten pages, prepared by Mr. Littlefield. The main point of this is that the house cannot add to the re­ quirements provided by the constitution for admission to the house and that the only constitutional remedy is to nrimij and then expel on the fliTidwg of facts. Bobbers Secured Six Thousand. PHIUPPI, W. Ya., Jan. 18.—Robber* farced aa entrance into the Tygart Val­ ley bank of this plaoe and blowing open the safe secured between five and six thousand dollars.

DULUTH, Jan. 18.—The first step to­ ward supplying iron ore to the United States from mines in Western Canada, has been taken by the Algoma Commer­ cial company of Ste. Maria, Ontario. This company is now engaged in build­ ing a railroad from Little Pic, north­ eastern coast of Lake Superior, to mines it has found a few miles inland. It is opening the mines and is erecting ore docks at Little Pic capable of handling 2,000,000 tons annually. It has just closed a contract with the Pressed Steel Car company for 50 steel ore cars of 100,000 pounds capacity each, which with the short haul, will give a very large yearly ca­ pacity. The company expects to deliver to American furnaces the present yeai over 1,000,000 tons of high grade hema­ tite ore. It is also to smelt a large por­ tion of its ores at Ste. Maria, where it has works under erection. It is stated on the best authority that these works will reduce ores electrically and wil] make nickel steel for the Krupp works of Essen, Germany, under a long time contract. This will be, therefore, anew departure in metallurgy for this conti­ nent. MINNESOTA'S NEXT FAIR. Board of Managers Re-elects Secretasrj Randall ftnd Treasurer Wilcox. ST.

MANILA, Jan. 18.—70:5 p. m.—The presence here of Archbishop Chapelle, the apostolic delegate to the Philippines, is greatly stirring the Catholics of all nationalities. The Filipinos have gained the impression that Mgr. Chapelle came as the joint agent of President McKin ley and the pope to reinstate the friars in their former power. One cause of the excitement is a statement which the Dominicans furnished to the Spanish press, that Mgr. Chappelle, in visiting the heads of the order, told them he favored the retention of the brother­ hoods, and that President McKinley shared his views, which were that "if the friars returned to their parishes they would be considered elements of good order, and therefore American agents." Accuracy of Statements Denied. Mgr. Chapelle denieB the accuracy of these statements and Catholics of all sections are petitioning Mgr. Chapelle and Major General Otis against the friars returning to their parishes, re­ peating the charges of oppressions, ex­ tortions and immoralities which, they assert, caused the revolution of 1896 The Catholics request that they be given, priests not connected with the brother­ hoods. Delegations trom many of the towns are visiting the provincial gov­ ernors for the purpose of making the same request and prominent Catholics are cabling the pope on the subject. The people say the friars will be driven out if thgy return t& their parishes and there will be continual trouble tf the administration attempts to protect them. To quell the excitement, Major Gen­ eral Otis consented to the publication in the local newspapers of a statement which he had made to a delegation of Filipinos, as follows: "If the church authorities assign friars to curacies who are obnoxious to the people they will not be compelled to accept them. The individual liberty guaranteed by the American Constitu­ tion will not be denied the Filipinos, and the government will not force on them any ecclesiastical denomination contrary to their wishes." STATED BY SCHURMAST, Aspirations of Filipinos for Self Govern' ment to Be Satisfied if Possible. NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—A special to The Herald from Washington says: "The motive has been, talring- account of the experience as well as the political aspirations of the Filipinos, to devise a form of government adapted to tham, so* as to secure on the one hand good gov­ ernment, and on the other to satisfy their aspirations for self-government." This statement relative to the Philip­ pine commission's report was made by Jacob Gould Sclrarman, president of the commission. All that Mr. Schurman. cared to state further was that the re­ port would consist of four or more vol­ umes, the first of which would be de­ voted to the condition of government to be established in the Philippines after peace and order are restored.
