Final Arpmls in Tic Roberts In

SADE AGAINST HiM
ii Taking of Testimony Hegun in the Case
of Senator Clark, of Montana.
Wahiii.vcton, Jan. (I.--When the Rob
orta committee resumed ita eeaEion to
day, ttoborts went on with lite argument,
begun yesterday, lie reviewed the action
of the constitutional convention of Utah,
urging tliat this carried out the require
ments of congress for the admission of
Utali aBiiHtato, namely, tlmt polygamous
marriages should no longer ho con
tracted. In particular, Roberts con
tended thoro waa no requirement by con
greaa or In the constitutional convention
that previously contracted matrimonial
associations should be interrupted.
In the eourso of his argument, Roberta
said lie had observed that the ladies in
volved in this question of plural wives
were quite generally received in the
circles of Gentile ladies of Utah. He
& vuhcmtintlv denounced what lie eharue-
Hlterized as the sensational crusade made
jEa;tun3t him, uudulso tho effort to aiouee
jfsf public feeling by Baying the American
homo "was in danger." "If uecoaimry,
lie exclaimed, "I could call attention to
ten thousand evils which threaten the
country without going to the btate of
Utah."
In closing, Roberta said that tiie pa
triotism of the Mormon church toward
the country could not be questioned.
When a fund wae raised for the survivors
of the battle-ship Maine, the Mormon
church had contributed oiro fifth of the
entire amount. When the country's
authority in the l'hilippinea waa
questioned, "Utah's guns, handled by

this judgeship pays but (30CO, there are
very good indications that the salary
will bo increased to nt least $5000.
Moreover, should Judge Halo fail to
secure this appointment, he will stand a
very good chance of securing one of the
new judgeships, as it is almost certain
that at least one, and perhaps three, now
districts will be created in Alaeka by
the present congress. Senator McUride
thinks it is very likely that the territory
may be divided into four districts, us
this number is really essential to an
efficient judic'al Byatem, urid is recom
mended by Governor Brady. With the
Oregon delegation a unite for Hale, his
chanceB of success in one of these offices
are very bright.

Washington, Jan. C Senator Hoar
is being quite severely criticised on ac
count of tils speech in'favor of the seat
ing of Senator Quay. Those who nre
opposed to Quay, and especially a large
number of senators, think the Massa
chusetts man went outside his position
as a senator in declaring himself, and
that it waB unwarranted to make a
statement and partial argument in favor
of seating Quay beforo the case actually
came before the senate. The excuse
which lie made to get his remarks before
the people ia Eaid to be altogether too
lame, as petitions upon one side or the
other havo been pouring in upon
senators ever since Quay waa appointed.
