Important Advice.
It is surprising how many peo-
ple wake up in the morning near-
ly as tired as when they went to
bed, a disagreeable taste in their
mouth, the lips sticky, and the
breath ofiensz've, with a coated
tongue. These are nature’s first
warnings of Dyspepsia and Liver Dis-
orders, but if the U. S. Army&-Navy
Tablets are resorted to at: this
stage they will restore the system
to a healthy condition. A few
doses will do more for a weak or
sour stomach and Constipation than
aprolonged course of any other
medicine.

EARNEST APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
The Committee Appointed Are All
(Opposition Merlibers—The Charges
Against Utah and Her Repre-
sentative Stoutly Denied.
W'ASHINGTON, Dec. 8.——Brigham H.
Roberts of Utah, who was not allowed to
be sworn in as a representative in con-
gress from tlutt state, has issued an ad-
dress to the American people. It contains
much that was said by Mr. Roberts on
the floor of the house and by Mr. Rich-
ardson, who opposed the resolution of
Mr. Taylor of Ohio. After reviewing-the
facts and proceedings resulting in the ap-
pointment of the committee he says:
”The member from Utah is not allowed
to take the oath of his office, and a com-
mittee is appointed to try him as to his
alleged guilt of the offenses charged.
Nay, even more is granted than was ask-
ed, at least more than was asked upon
the floor of the house, for allostile com-
" mittee has'fliecn appointed to inquire into '
the case. Its membership is made up en-
tirely of those who voted to adopt the
method of. procedure. Not one who voted
against it was allowed to find a place, up-
on that committee, and if the creation of
such a tribunal for such a purpose be al-
lowed there is no reason why the com-
mittee should not be made up of mem-
bers of one political faith, for the majori—
ty may do as it pleases about that.
“I ask the American people to stop and
think what that may mean to this country
in times of high political excitement and
party strife and passion:
“First—A formidable minority in the .
house may be reduced either to a very in-
significant majority or even blotted out of
existence.
.“Second.~The representation to which
_a state is entitled on the floor of the
house may be denied to it, as in this .
Utah case, for any length of time this
committee may elect to deny it such rep—
resentation. Suppose that in this case
the committee shall see proper to proceed
with reasonable expedition to consider
the questions involved, but what is there
to hinder it delaying its action under one
pretext or" another as long as it pleases? i
It may take a week, a month or a year to '
make its investigations, for it is author-
ized to send for papers and persons, to
examine witnesses and is not even in-
structed to report at as early 9. date as i
possible. It can prolong its investiga-
tions for two years as well as a month or .
a year if it so elects and meantime deny '
to a state representation and may defeat
altogether the expressed will of the peo— ,
ple of a state as to their choice of a rep- '
‘ bate,
resentative.
“If the present house can thus deprive
Utah of her representation, there is no
reason why it could not deny Virginia
hers, even though she has ten representa-
tives, for ten representatives as easy as
one can be turned away from the bar of
the house and one state as well as an-
other if a bare majority in the house
chooses to have it so. And if the present
Republican house can do this in the case
of Utah or Virginia there is no reason
why the next Democratic house could not
proceed in like manner with representa-
tives from Republican states under this
new and unprecedented rule of procedure.
- "Third.—~This new precedent
strikes down the constitutional guarantee
of the right of one accused of crime to ‘a
speedy and public trial by an impartial
jury of the state wherein the crime shall
have been committed.’ The proposition
is not to deprive me of my seat in con-
gress by the presentation of records of
conviction for crime before courts before
which I have been found guilty under the
due forms of the law.
“I deny the existence of the lawful
power of the house to prevent me from
being sworn in on the presentation of the
same evidence of prima facic right upon
which others are admitted to member- .
ship.
”I deny the right of the house of rep-
resentatives to resolve itself into a jus-
tice of the peace court to try me for a
misdemeanor alleged to have been com—
mitted in order to find grounds of expul-
sion or exclusion from the high office to
which I was elected.
“It is true that the representative from
Utah is :1 Mormon, and just now against
the Mormon people is a wave of popular
sentiment, created by falsehood, chiefly
by the charge that Utah has broken her
compact with the United States in the
matter of polygamy; that her people con-
template the revival of polygamous mag:-
i‘iagcs; that the seating of Utah’s repre-
sentative would be regarded by her Mor-
mon population as an indorsement of po-
lygamy, and would be a menace to the
American home.
“American citizens, it is a Mormon
who is the object of the popular clamor
today. May it not be the Catholic, or the
Methodist, or the free thinker tomorrow?
If the rights of the representative from
Utah and of his state cannot be safe-
guarded by the provisions of the consti-
tution and the laws from the frenzy of
popular fury, set on fire by falsehood and
distortion, what guarantee have we that
any oue’s rights are secure?
“I stand alone, save for the very few
who gave me their very guarded support
by voting against the monstrous pro-
ceedings that prevent me from taking
the oath of office. I am without a dollar
at my command except the salary at-
tached to my office with which to fight
the battle now pending before the special
committee. I am without legal counsel
except for the kindly suggestions of here
and there a word from a lawyer, acquant-
auce or friend. And, indeed, I prefer it
to be so now, for my case is so firmly
rooted in justice that it needs but a plain
statement of the facts and a fair applica-
tion of the law to them in order to make
my right to my seat: apparent, and I
want the condition here named to stand
as a refutation of the sensational charges
that have been made about the Mormon
church standing behind me, with any
amount of money for legal counsel and
the ,maiutcnance of a lobby in Washing-
ton.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
Bill Causes u Tilt—nous.
Committee on Rules. ,
VVASIIINGTON, Dec. 8.—-Routine pro-
ceedings of the senate yesterday were en-
livened by a colloquy betwcep Mr. Chan'
dlcr of New Hampshire and Mr. Hale 01
Maine over a bill introduced by the for-
mer to promote athletic sports at the Mil-
itary academy at West Point and the Na-
val acadcmy at Annapolis. Both sena-
‘tors became facetious and at times sar
castic over. the growth of athletics at
American colleges, and Mr. Chandler ad-
vanced the proposition that the cultiva-
tion of such sports as football and simi-
Athletic
lar sports at the government academies
ought to be given the sanction of law.
The title of the bill sets forth its object
to be "to increase the efficiency of the
West Point Military academy and tc
qualify and stimulate the American
youth for actual military service by suit-
able physicaltraining instead of excess-
ive mental education.” -
It provides that"the course of instruc.
tion at the academy shall dispense with
the study of higher mathematics and the
foreign languages and substitute a course
in athletics to embrace especially golf,
bicycling football and baseball. The bill
also pro ides for annual athletic contests
between the students of the Military
academy t Boston, New York, Philadel:
phia, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago, St.
Louis, Richmond, Atlanta, New Orleans,
Omaha and San Francisco, at which
suitable prizes shall be awarded. Au ap-
propriation sufficient to pay the prizes is
provided for, but the railroads are re-
quired. to carry free the cadets to the
places of contests and also the represent-
atives of such reputable newspapers as
the secretaries of war and navy may des-
ignate.
Among other bills and joint resolutions
of the day were the following:
'By Mr. Forakcr, to increase to $100
per month the pension of Nelly Young
Egbert. widowof the late Colonel Henry
’ Clay Egbert of the Twenty-second infan-
try, who was killed in the Philippine war.
By Mr. Harris, a :joint resolution pro-
viding for the limitation of the time a
, president shall be elected at one term of
six years and making the terms of mem-
bers of the house four years.
No further sessions of the senate will
be held until Monday. '
The session of. the liouse/ lasted only
half an hour. Mr. Overstreet (Ind.), in
charge of the finance bill, attempted to
reach an agreement for its consideration
next week, but Mr. Richardson, in behalf
of the minority, rejected all proposals on
the ground that a bill as important as
this should go through the regular chan-
nels.
The speaker thereupon appointed the
i committee on rules, which is to include
himself, Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio, Mr. Richardson
of Tennessee and Mr. Bailey of Texas.
They will hold a meeting today and de-
cide upon‘a rule for the limits of the dc-
which will undoubtedly consume
the whole of next week.
Alaska Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—The investi-
gations of the department of agriculture
concerning the agricultural possibilities
of Alaska were continued during the past
season. The special agent of the depart-
ment, Professor C. C. Georgeson, who is
in charge of this work, has just. returned
from Alaska. He brought with him a col-
lection of very fine samples of grains and
vegetables grown on the newly establish-
ed experiment stations at Sitka and Kc-
uai, Cook inlet. The samples include sev-
eral varieties of spring wheat, which ma-
tured perfectly, and also a dozen varic-
ties each of barley and oats, besides ryc,
flax and buckwheat. All of these grains
compare favor-ab y with grains grown
anywhere in the nited States. The suc-
cesses in grain growing in Alaska suggest
the possibility that the territory in time
may produce seed f early maturing va-
rieties for use farther south.
Professors Robbed.
CHICAGO, Dec. S.—“Pr0fcssors’ row,”
as the residence district in the vicinity of
l“itty-(-’.;:litl1 street and Lexington and
Kimbzix avenues is called, has been in-

\V’. (l. Hale also have been disturbed by
burglars. Altogether five professors’
homes have been robbed within a week.
Molineux Trial.
N 3“" YORK, Dec. 8.———There was but
a three hours’ session of the Molineux
trial yesterday. Mr. Edgar, one of the
jurors, desired to attend a funeral, and
Recorder Golf had-put down the trial for
1 o’clock in the afternoon. At that hour
it was announced that the recorder was
detained at a board meeting, and the trial
was further put off until 2 o’clock. Hand-
writing Expert Kinsley, who was on the
stand most of the afternoon of \Vcdnes-
day, continued his e idence yesterday
and is yet to be cross examined by Mr.

V 1113 Expedition Under Major
Batchelor—The Transports.
MANILA, Dec. 8.—The expectation of
catching Aguinaldo in the north has
been practically abandoned, and the prob-
ability now is that he will turn south-
ward, if he is not already there, with his
destination Cavite province, his home,
where- the insurrection began and where
it still has its greatest strength. The Fil-
ipino. soldiers in that province have re-
cently been showing increased 'enthusi-.
asm and boldness, and captured insur-
gents say that Aguinaldo is coming to
join them with a large army. The same
belief prevails among the natives at Ma—
nila and elsewhere that Aguinaldo in-
tends to make his headquarters in Ca-
vite province.
There are 3,000 insurgents before Imus
and Bacoor, keeping ’the Americans sleep-g
in'g on their arms and nightly awaiting~
attack. The Filipinos have several can-
non. The first mayor of Imus under the
American regime, who ultimately desert-
ed, is their leader in the assaults and is
ambitions to take the town. Three sol-
diers of the Fourth infantry have de-
serted and are now with the enemy.
Most of the inhabitants of Imus are so
strong in their sympathies with the in-
surgents that it is necessary to use a
part of the regiment to patrol the streets
and to prevent shooting from houses
whenever an attack begins.
The American forces in the north have
separated into many small commands and
are pursuing bands of Filipinos. Gener-
al MacArthur is engaged in clearing the
mountain country west of. the Manila-
Dagupan railroad. General Grant is
moving from Angeles toward Subig, with
400 men. Colonel Bell is sweeping south
from Mangatarem. Thus far the Amer-
ican commanders have been unable to lo-
cate large bodies of insurgents. although
there were about 500 in San Clementie,
nine miles south of Manga'tarem, early in‘
the week.
Colonel Hood. with the Sixteenth regi-
ment and cavalry, and General Lawton.
with a force from San Isidro, are operat-
ing against General Pilar’s army in the
San Mateo valley.
Major Batchelor, with a battalion of"
the Twenty-fourth infantry, is making a
daring expedition. He left Bayombong,
province of Nueva Vi'zcaya, a week ago
to march through Cagayan valley to the
north coast of Luzon, intending to reach
Apart-i, at the mouth of the Cagayan riv-
er, the most important northern seaport
of the island. While no large forces are
known to be in hispath, it may be that
he has had some fighting, although the
friendliness of the inhabitants is counted
upon to help him. When he arrives at
Apart-i, he will find a gunboat awaiting
him. The Spanish prisoners in the Ben-
guct region are escaping from the Filipi-
nos and are flocking into Vigan. Several
hundred are there already, and a steamer
will go to bring them to Manila.
The transport Manauense, which ar-
rived here from San Francisco Nov. 28
after a terrible voyage, was scheduled to
start for home yesterday with discharged
and sick soldiers. A large force has been
'employed in repairing her machinery,
but it was impossible to get her in condi-
tion to leave, and her departure was
postponed until next week. Her captain
has secured a crew of Chinese at Heng-
kong to take her to San Francisco.
The steamer Rosario, chartered by the
government to bring a load of cattle from
the island of Mampulugan‘ to Iloilo, left
Iloilo Monday and went ashore on the
rocks near Mampulugan. Her crew and
passengers were saved and taken to No-
gros.
The transports Olympia and Pennsyl-
vania arrived yesterday.
Smallpox Stumped Out.
\VASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Thc quar~
termastcr general has received a telegram
from Colonel Long, quartermaster at San
Francisco, saying that the Forty-eighth
volunteer infantry (colored), which has
been quarantined at Angel island, Cal,
for several weeks on account of smallpox
cases in the ranks, will be released from
quarantine on the 18th inst. The disease
has been entirely stamped out, and the
regiment will be fully prepared on the
date named to start for the Philippines.
