BY AN OVERWHELM
ING MAJORITY
The Utah Congressman-Elect Presented
His Own Side of the Case.
Wahiiincton, Dul 5. After tin inter
OHting debate three hours, t hi; house to
duy, by a votit of .'102 to III), adopted the
resolution offered by 'JV.ylor, of Oiiio,
yeHterduy, for the apjtoi tiLmeiit ul u
Hpcciul committee to invcatignto the
charges against Brighuin II. Roberts, the
Mormon representative-elect from Utah.
Previously the house Imd rejected 11 nub
Htituto resolution offered liy Illehiinison,
tliu leader of the minority, to allow Rob
erta to lie sworn in und to send the whole
mio to the judiciary committee. Thia
mihatituto resolution, however, by no
meiiiti) commiinded the full Democratic
Ktruiigth. Only fifty seven members
voted for it. Of the thirty who then
voted against the Tuyler resolution, nil
wore DiimociutH oxoupt two L')iid,u
Citliforuia Republican, und Newlunds, n
eilvurite from Nevudu.
By ihe terms of the resolution Roberts
in not only excluded from nil purtiuipa-
tion in the proceeding of the houHe until
the committee reports und the haute
passes upon his e.ife, but he in denied u
weut in the hall. Whether this will be
interpreted to deny him admission with
in the chamber pending the dis position
of his ense is yet to be decided.
The reading of tho president's message
wiir compluttly ovornhadowed by the
Democratic proceedings which resulted
in the action of the house today. The
tralleriea were thronged with flpectutorB,
inoHtly women, who sat patiently through
tho three weary hours thut preceded the
debate, und then waited on three hours
more until it was concluded.
Tho moat remarkable feature of tho
debate waa tho fact thutlioborts' presen
tation of his own aide of the case, which
lamed almost an hour, became ho absorb,
ing that ho won the sympathy of many
of those in the galleries, mid was several
times fihowered witli applause. It was
evident that he rcali.ud that the house
waa overwhelmingly against him, und tt
times he Hpoko very liercely und
defiantly.
During tho debate, Grosvenor of Ohio

Le Fevre, the matron. The

letter, which will command
widespread attention because
of the prominence of the
writer. It is us follows:
"Messrs. W. II. Hooker &

at tho suggestion of a friend,
for a serious, long-standing
throat difficulty and extreme

Ladysmith Garrison Bcu'mning to Cast
Anxious Eves Southward.
Ntw Yoiik, Dec.0. A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says': From Natal
the press dispatches which came through
yesterday were forecaste of the terrible
battle impending on the Tugelu river.
It is now certain that the Boers are in
ureat force on the further eide of the
river. ' The Boer army, which invaded
Natal, was put by good judges at 25,000
to 30,000 men. If we accept the hitter
figure, and deduct 2000 for losses which
may have been made good by disloyal
Dutch recruits from Natal, and another
10,000 for the remaining force at Lady
smith, the lotal of the ..army confronting
Geneial Buller may be from 15,000 to
20,000 men.
Loxno.v, Dec. 0. A budget of news
from Ladysmith, which arrived today,
bring'j the hhtory of the beleagured
garrison up to November 29. In suite
of the rumors of u retrograde movement
upon the part of the Boers, the stories
just received show that the garrison, al
though still strong, was suffering from
confinement, restricted diet and the In
creasing volume of tho Boer artillery fire,
especially that of additional heavy-callber
guns, placed iu position 5000 yards from
the Western defenses.
The dispatches relate that the Boers
had discovered the most vulnerable
points of the carnson and that the shell
int; was becoming disagreeably effective.
The rations had been reduced and there
wnsagieat deal of sickness; neverthe
less, the troops of the garrison were in ,
every way piepuring to meet tho assault
which it wiis anticipated the Boers
would cauy out In u linal effort to reduce
tho 'city. The belief whs current in
Ladysmith that the Bjers were prepar
ing lor a retrograde movement after
