CAVALRY FOR

As a Result o tta AtoMonciit of

Iixprcss Great Tears as 10 ihc Uhimatc
Fate of Ladjstnith Warren Criticised.
LoxiioN, Ian. 20, Probably as an im
mediate effect of tlm rccalpt of news of
th abandonment of Snionkop by tlie
liritleh force under General Warmr,
orders have been sent to Ahlershot to
have the Fourth cavalry division in
readiness to embark for South Africa
eurlv in February.
London, .Ian. 20. It is impossible at
present to suy w bather tho British suf
fered a revoreo or tlie movement was
dictated by Ktratenic reasons. Obviously
the position whb useless unleFB guns
could tie planted on it, nnd, discovering
this was impossible, Warren may have
decided it was unsafe to hold tlie position
any longer, or perhaps he is peeking a
more profitable ascent elsewhere. What'
ever uiuv be the explanation of the
abandonment of Spionkop by the British,
it will doubtless have the same tempor
ary moral effect ns a reverse.
It appears to have been bo entirely
unexpected at the war olllce, thut Hol
ler's dispatch cauted something in the
nnture of consternation. The lobbies
were soon crowded and there was
evidence on all sides that the news was
keenly felt. The only ofhctal comment
was apparently that "Warren's position
was too hot to hold."
Nowhere, in spite of the general de
pression, is there the least sign of abate
ment in detHrniination to carry the war
to a successful issue.
Military circles made no olTott to con
ceal their chagrin, expressing the gravest
fe.irs as to the ultimate fate of Ladyemith.
Such authorities ib Major-General Carr
ing, whoia underorders for South Africa,
and Lord Giirord, who won n Victoria
cross while scouting for Lo'rd Wolsoley
during tiie Zulu war, would not he sur
prised to hear of tlie capturo of White's
forces within a week.
Gifl'ord, who knows the country like ti
book, could not understand how in the
world Warren ever got to the top of
Spionkop without ascertaining what
positions commanded it. The poorness
of maps, it was pointed out, could hardly
be an excuse for this, us there must be
with Warren several scouts, to say
nothing of ofllcers who at one time or
another have served ut Ladyemith and
whose mere hunting expeditions would
have given them a knowledge of tlie
country.
While Warren is not blamed for re
treating under what is supposed to have
been a heavy shell fire, he is severely
criticised for occupying a position to
which he could not bring up his artillery.

Washington, Jan. 25. Tlie case of
Brigham H. Roberts, the Mormon representative-elect
from Utah, which lias
occupied so much of tho attention of the
house einco the assembling of congress,
was decided today by the adoption of n
resolution to exclude him by a vole of
2CS to 50. The exact language of the
resolution was as follows:
"That under tlie facts and circum
stances of the case, Brigham H. Roberts,
representative.elect from the state of
Utah, ought not to have or hold a seat
in the house of representatives, and that
the scat to which ho was elected is here
by declared vacant."
Tlie amendment to expel Roberts with
out seating him, offered by Lacey, was
ruled out on a point of order, and the
house only voted on'the resolutions of
the majority and minotity of tlie com
mittee. The latter to seat and then
expel Roberts was defeated, 81 to 244.
An analysis of this vote shows that 170
Republicans, 72 Democrats and two
Populist! voted against it, and 71 Demo
crats, six Republicans, two Populists
and two silver Republicans for it.
Roberts was preetnt throughout the
day, aud left tlie hall after the result of
the last vote had been announced. As
lie did so, lie gaye out a statement justi
fying ills retention of his plural wives,
on the ground that his moral obligation
was more binding upon his conscience
that technical obedience to statutory
laws.
