LANDIS ROASTED ROBERTS.
M'nsh'.ngton, January 24.—The second ;
day's debate In the house ttnon th” Rob
ert*- case wa« less dramatic than that
of yesterday. The galleries wer* almost
as crowded, but th” ladles were less dem- |
onstratlve.
Mr. Roberts was not present during the
day. Had lie l»*en he would have heard
th” most scathing excoriation of the Mor
mons ever delivered upon the floor of the
house. Mr. L;mdls. of Indiana, the voting
ora>tor who distinguished himself dur
ing the last erngress In an oratorical duel
with Mr Johnson, of nts state, won new
laurels today. He charged that I tali
had been admitted to th” union ns a re
sult of Mormon conspiracy, and reviewed
the historv of th” apostles of the church,
whom he charged with living In open and
ilagran't violation ’if th” statute against
polygamy to show that they had basely
‘broken thdr solemn pledge to the gov- .
ernment.
Th other speakers today were Messrs
Powers, republican. of Vermont, and
Miers. denio.-rat. of Indiana, forth” nia- .
I i ity resolutions Messrs. Snodgrass,
d mocrat. of Tennessee, anil M ilson, sil-
I v r republican, of Idaho, forth” minority
resolutions; Mr. Lacey, republican, of
lowa, for his proposition to expel wi'fl
out sW' iring m. and Mr. Crunipaeker,
republican, of Indiana, fur exclusion by
a two-thirds majority.
The speeches todav greatly strengthen
ed the majority resolutions, which s em- .
■•d In danger of failing alter Mr. Little
tield's speech yesterday, and Chairman
Taylor was contidt nt tonight that they
'would be tidol’teil wh»n the house votes
i tomorrow aft rnoon. Mr. Powers, of \ei -
I niont. suggested that "we are not separat
ing w ife from husband.” as polygamy has
j never been legal in Utah, being illegal
| under tho <■ immon law of Englund.
Had Violated Contract.
Mr. Lmdi- contended that Mr. Roberts
' was not entitled to admission be.'tiuse he
hid violated Utah's compact with the
I United State* Mr. Landis resented as
unworthy of belief the charge made. It”
said, b) Senator Rawlins that th” presi
dent had aptx’inted notorious polygam.sts.
1 Th,- senator might as well accuse the
house of indorsing polygamy sine” it had
passed a bill appropriating s4''.iM)o for the
agricultural college at Jxigan. Utah. "The
pr« sident of that college," sahl lie. "is a
polygamist, living In open and notorious
■ > ilygatnv with three wives, one of nls
I ading professors is a polygamist, living
... h w Ives. The tru t- -■ Is a pol) -
amhit.- living in open and notorious po
lygamy with seven wives (laughter) and
they have llessed hint with thirty-nine
' children." (Laughter.)
He further asserted that three of the
memb rs of the tirst presidency and ten
; of tl”' twelve apostles who signed the
petition for amnesty were polygamists.
••(if these lifteen leaders who solemn
ly idedged their honor and faith for the
futui” obedience to the law of the church
of Christ and Latter Day Saints, three
have probabl) kept thier pledges, name
ly. M'ilfred M'oodrutT. Franklin D. Rog- ,
res and Anthony H. Lunn,
• George Q. Cannon, first councillor to
I the president ”f th” ehureh, also is mor
ally guilty, gnd he “nd his wives |
livi- in a subutii known as Cannonville."
After detailing tl”' polygamous tela
j tions of other Mormon leaders, I”, eon
| tlniit .1:
"Pages might be written of the vi
olation of the compact by which Utah
was given a star. Mr. Speaker, that
star Is a fallen star; It does not shine
with the brilliancy and luster of her
sister stars. It shines by cunning and
by deceit, by treachery, by fraud. It
speaks of crime and of violation of the
I most solemn covenant ever made be
tween territory and the union.” (Ap
plause.)
"M'e have as a representative from
Utah a man wit'll three wives, the last l
on<- taken, the report says, as near as
we can ascertain, before IS!*!. I lielleve.
And he did not deny that that woman
became his plural wife after Utah was
taken into tin- American union. Amt
1 charge hero that Utah came in as the
result of a deliberate conspiracy to free .
that people from the heavy hand of the
federal authority “>”1 thus enable them to
live their religion unhindered. In 1X96
Mr. Roberts was « candidal* for con
gress, and th* churcn disciplined and
deflated him because th* time was no:
then ripe for a polygamist to com* to
the American congress. He hecam* a
candidate in TW. and th” man who placed
him before the convention stated that
he ran by permission of the church. In
ISOS we were engaged In a war with a
foreign foe. American manhood wa?
away from home and all absorbed in
country. Valor was at war and virtue
was at prayer. The north and the
south nnder on* flag! They hoped tn
this general condition of magnanimity to
come back, and It was then this per
jured cheat attempted to er iwl in. kt.
It came bv Itself, but it will be hurled
back boldly and in the open day by tne
outraged indignation of the American
people. (Applause.) And across von
threshold will be written in letters large
enough to be read from the nationH
caplto! to the Mormon femplet No po
lygamist shall ever sit as a member ot
the American congress.’ (Applause)
Why Roberts Was Severe.
"Th” gentleman from Utah Mr. Rob
erta, has been particularly sev.-r* on the
missionaries. I do not wonder at It.
i The missionary has given attention t>>
the polygamist, has stood In his path.
I has scattered thorns along Ilin way, and
for this he Is branded as a spotter, an
informer and a spy. History will bear
out this statement, that although these
fanatical priesta and their deluded fol
lowers put a thousand miles ot track
less wilderness, a thousand miles ’>r
desert waste. Infested with savages, be
tween civilization, between their camp
of bigotry and crime, yet the distance
was not too great nor were the bard
ahips too severe to daunt the spirit ot
the missionary of the Christian '
He tracked polygamy and laced it m
its lair. The Danita as cruel and piti
less a band of cut-throats as ever han
dled the glittering steel, carried 0,1 Il ’
murderous work of the chuicn. • >
the missionary toiled on. Ihe blood
atoners silenced forever in death tl”
voice of apostacy, but that hindered not
the missionary. The governm-nt I’™";
ta-ally abandoned the ti”ld, «ori”.dettng
that it was powerless to hinder that
monster, fortified in those mountain
fastness»'s; but the American •'hnstian
missionary, with a courage that now
seems sublime, with a fidelity t” pur
pose that is now an inspiration, bat
tied on in thi fear of God and for the
i love of humanity. (Applause.)
•But the gentleman says we took
these worn 'it in good faith, and we should
pot abandon them.’ There are 2.”"' 1 P°!.VK
anious families in I tah. ITovide for
)<ur plural wives, take eare ot ) ,>ur
plural children, but rd ram. for G"‘ , s
s. ke refrain, from multiplying the iliegit

Has Sneered at Helen Gould.
"Mr. Roberts has sneered at a good and
ruble woman (Miss Helen Gould), who
helped to organize this movement against
him. When our boys fell from d.se.u-e or
! in battle, her millions wep . And who
Knows but that, today tho snmo name

Washington. January 27. —(Special.)—A
new executive department that of com
rner”” and Industrie*, will undoubtedly

In form or effect, and the sub-committee
report Is In favor of the Nelson amend
ment.
The three members making th* report
are Senators Nelson. Hanna and Clay.
The fact that Mr. Clay, 'be democratic
member of th” sub-committee, signed th”
• report is taken as Indicating the assen*'*
of any strenuous democratic opposition
. <0 this measure which has the hearty
support of the administration.
All of the republican members of th*
committee are ’n favor of the creation
of the new department on th* Vnes of
<hc Frye-Nelson bill. There was m”
effort to stir up democratic opposition
hut so fat as the committee Is concerned
this opposition Is confined to Senators
Vest and Berry. It is believed that If

have but these two signatures Senators
Clay. Martin of Virginia. Jones of Ne
vada and •’.•■ffrev of Ixotlslann, -f th”
minority members, are all for the I>Hi
and will give it strong support
So far ns has been developed, there
Is no republican opposition to the crea
tion of this new department and the bill
i* a’ire to have a large majority when
the senate reaches bts consideration. Sen
ator Frve. chairman of the committee,
has announced a determination to pre**
It and he feels rtaln that It will b”
enacted In th” law tit. tb.ls session.
