WASHINGTON , Dec. 8. An ane.vcr to
lirlRham Kohcrts' address to the "American
people" wsii made today by a delegation
representing the Gentllo clement In Utah ,
who nro hero to oppose Roberts. The au-
Buer Is as follows :
In this morning's papers Mr. Roberts
makes an appeal for s.vmpatby in wljicn
nro many statements needing correction ,
while many facts nro suppressed.
In other states men who Haunt their violations
lations of the law of decency before the
public are sent to tbo penitentiary. U s
only In I'tah where such Indecency 13
ndded to one's eligibility to political pref-
Mr. Roberts claims that whatever were
his civil disabilities before statehood , they
were removed by the adoption of the state
constitution. At the time of the passage
of the enabling act Mr. Roberts was , as
ho seerns In bis appeal to admit , dlslran-
chlsed by net of congress ami therefore
not ft full citizen of the United States , nn
by the constitution bo must be to become
a member of congress ; then he Is still in
the same condition , because the constitu
tion of Utah could not restore him to fed-
cral citizenship and ths enabling act did
not do it.
Mr. Roberts says ho has not been con
victed since statehood , but It does not fol
low that he Is Innocent. He Is now a fugi
tive from Justice In Salt Lake county on a
charge of unlawful cohabitation , and in
Davis county , Utnb , where resides one of.
his polygamous wives with her Illegiti
mate twins , born August 11 , 1807 , a charge
of adultery ( a felony under tbo laws of
Utah ) has been for two months pigeon
holed by a Mormon prosecuting attorney.
Mr. Roberts In his attempt to belittle Ills
crimes Insists that be in only charged with
n misdemeanor. He knows better. Ho
knows that he had been , under oath and
before the proper prosecuting ofilccrs ,
charged with the felony of adultery as
wcll'iis the misdemeanor of unlawful co-
habltti .
HentliiiL-iitnl I'coulc Minted.
Many sentimental people nro being mis
led by Mr , Roberts' very Ingenious suggestions
' ' Infer that lie
tions , by which 'some'people
took bis polygamous wives before be knew
It to be unlawful. This is a mistake.
Adultery wns a crime In Utah when Mr.
Roberts wna born , and nt tbo time of the
Cttlioni anti-polygamy , act Mr , Roberts was
only 6 years old. His plea for sympathy
therefore amounts only to this , tbnt no
should bo allowed to continue bis crimi
nal practices notwithstanding lie took bis
polygamous wives in defiance of law. \ \ o
demand that bo should support Ills fami
lies , but also demand that he shall cease
the begetting or further Illegitimate off
spring , and this Is our only bone of con
tention , the only tblng demanded which be
refuses to yield. In this matter we dis
claim any desire to have him declared In-
nllglblc because liu H a Mormon , but solely
because he In violating the laws ot t'tab ,
and of the United States and of common
decency.
Former Congressman XV. S. King was nnd
Is a Mormon and no claim of Incllgiblllty
wns ever ni.itle neainst him. Wo point to
this "act as chowlns that wo o : > nose Mr.
Roberts not on the ground of any real
opinions entertained by him , but because of
bin criminal practices. Neither Is this n
matter of religious or political persecution
or prejudice. The undersigned include men
ot different churches and men who belong
to no church , those who are republicans
nnd those who are doiroernts. Mr. Roberts
denies nudwe nssrrt that the compart between -
tweon Utah and the other states lias been
violated. That compact wrts evidenced by
many public not * , as follows :
Flrst-Uy tbo manifesto of the Mormon
church In 1SOO , which by their leading men
was Interpreted under oath to prohibit the
continuance of polygamous relations as
well us contracting of now marriages.
Second -Uy the Utah legislature , which In
1892 made. Unlawful cohabitation as well as
polygamy crimes against the territory ,
Third By the solemn pledges of the
npostloof IhlB alleged church , that these
Inws would bo obeyed nnd enforced , which
pledge wits mad ? in a petition to thu presi
dent praying for a general amnesty procla
mation.
Fourth Uy the declaration * made by
prominent citizens of Utali before thu con
gressional committee having the enabling
act under consideration , where also the
foregoing evidences and statements were
used to necure ttntchood
Flfth-nv the declaration In the consti
tution of Utuh. thut nolviramous marriages
shall be fo-ever prohibited.
Sixth The act of the constitutional con
vention continuing In force the territorial
laws punishing unlawful cohabitation aa
well as polygamy , of which convention Mr.
Roberts was a member.
All these public aets combined shoiv con
clusively that the- compact Includes the ills-
continuance of old polyimmous relations aa
well as the prevention of new ones.
Kvldonoi- llroltcn Coin-met.
As evidence that this cnrnnact lias been
broken wo point to the following :
First That lu Utah 1 COO illegitimate chil
dren Imvo bcfn I'or.n to polygamous wives
since stntuhooO.
Second-r-That about 2000 polygamous
households now exii t In Utah nnd that the
attempt to secure a punishment of these
offenders 1 denounced bv the majority , as
wo bollovc. of Utah's citizens.
Third That tbo circumstantial evidence
tinmlstaknhlv points to thu existence of new
Wives In polygamous households , tlio most
cowplcuous examples of which are the
cascH ot Apostles Abraham II Cannon ,
John Taylor and Apostlp Teasdnle , l.i ut

Sixth As a further evidence of this bad

who during his campaign for election wns
publicly charged with being a violator of
the laws , as evidenced by bis illegitimate
progeny , and In t'plte of these undenled
charges be was elected by nn overwhelm
ing majority.
That Mr. Roberts himself undemtood that
compact to mean the discontinuance of un
lawful cohabitation , wo point to his regis

be hip Intention to obey the law prohibiting
unlawful cohabitation.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 8. The committee
which is to Inquire in'to the status ot Mr.
Roberts of Utah held a protracted session
behind closed doors today. During the
early hours of the meeting Mr. Roberts was
present and made a statement as to his gen
eral wishes In connection with the inquiry.
He said ho was specially desirous of having
the committee first go into his prima facie
right to a scat , afterward taking up the
general merits of the subject. He said ho
favored open sessions. Ho had indicated
also that he desired to present testimony
relative to the manner in which the charges
against him were prepared. He then retired
and the committee continued In private ses
sion until 1 o'clock , when a recess was
taken until 2 p. m. The details of pro
cedure were still under consideration.
The 2 o'clock meeting was brief and was
adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
No announcement was made except that
Chairman Taylor of Ohio said the work was
progressing satisfactorily and smoothly. It
Is understood that some question exists as
to whether Roberts shall be treated as a
contesting member , or bo asked to plead ES
In a trial , and the committee will probably
hear him further before reaching a coa-
clu&lun.
AMERICAN FRUIT IN BERLIN

BERLIN , Dec. S. The seizures and vex
atious Inspection of American fruit have be
gun again. The Nation tomorrow will con
tain n timely article by Dr. Dohrn , the well
known exsert , based mainly on a book by
Dr. I. Krueger , to wHlch a prize was re
cently awarded by the Stettin Pomologlcal
Eoclety , In which the writer furnished strong
evidence -that owing to climatic differences
befwecn tha United States and Germany ,
particularly the American winters , Ameri
can insects cannot spread hero. Dr. Dohrn
emphasizes Dr. Krucgor's demolition ot the
long held hypothesis that the Colorado bug
and the San Joss scale did severe damage -
ago here.
"Slnco our government experts them
selves , " says Dr. Dohrn , "now acknowledge
that the scale cannot spread here , it Is
high tlmd to abolish measures that are still
enforced against American fruit , measures
which lighten the price. There are In
stances In which the coet of Inspection
amounts to one-eighth of the market value
of the fruit. If the imperial government
of Its own accord will not stop this nui-
, let us hope that the Reichstag will. "

the necessity of strengthening the dofcnsefl
of the colonies and the colonial army , In ad

Ho pointed out that whllo Mr. Chamber
lain's Leicester speech was , perhaps , only
his personal view , the fact that a Hrltlsh

toward France was sufficiently grave cause
for Its consideration by the Chamber , and
ho ndded It waa high time to take notice
of Mr. Chamberlain's warning.
M. Faure also Intimated that Drltlsh emis

MANILA , Dec. S. 10:55 : a. nt. There was
considerable relief In Manila when the news
was received today that General Young's
small force had arrived safely nt Vlsan ,
province of South Ilocos , December C.
Anxiety has been felt for General Young
nnd the garrison nt Vigan since It was
known that General Tlno had a large ag
gressive body of Insurgents operating in the
vicinity. General Tlno made a stand In the
mountain pass between Narvacan and San
Qulnto. The natural strength of the posi
tion was augmented by trenches and pit
falls. The light lasted five hours. Gen
eral Young had three companies of the
Thirty-fourth Infantry under Lieutenant
Colonel Robert L. Howze and two troops of
the Third cavalry , Captain Swlgart com
manding , and ono troop under Captain
Chase. Ho was reinforced during the flg'.it
by Colonel Luther R. Hare with u batta'loti
of the Thirty-third , onroute to Vigan. Gen
eral Young ended the fight by charging and
routing the enemy , who left twenty-five
dead and several rides and thousands of
rounds of ammunition In the trenches. The

tlou StnrtN Talk In that Direction.
WASH1NGTOX , Dec. 8. Senator Lodge
called at the State department today to talk
with Secretary Hay about his Galapagos
Islands rceolutloii. As to the basis of his
resolution of inquiry ho said that all the
information ho had DB to the reported at
tempt of the Engleh government to secure
the islands was derlvpd from newspaper
sources. The State department itself had no
direct information of any recent movement
looking to the acquisition of the Islands , but
will refer the resolution of Inquiry to United
States Minister Saniltjou at Quito for a re
sponse.
It would not bo nt all surprising , it Is said
here. If the ultimate result of the broaching
of this subject now were the acquisition of
a coaling Btatlon'on these i 'islands by the
United States government. In fact , the Navy
department Ml within 'the last year been
making a tjurletSJ VJ'SHKatHn Into the faclll- '
ties there'ex'latlriy" 'llh
that object In view.
Commander Tanner wns despatched to the
Galapagos Islands"Just after the conclusion
of th ? war with Spain to make a personal
examination of the conditions existing. Ho
found that the Ecuadorean government had
sDmo years ago abandoned Us penal station
on Charles Island , leaving behind a large
number of domestic animals in a half wild
state , and these Hocks had enormously in
creased. Only one of the half dozen Islands
I was Inhabited , namely , Chatham Island , and
| that Island had but one inhabitant , In the
j person of a Mr. CoboEO. He was of Ecua
dorean birth , but was a naturalized Ameri
can citizen.
Ilrltnlii MiiriiriNcil at the St-nntc.
LONDON , Deo. S. So far as can bo ascer
tained by the Associated Press , Great
Britain Is not negotiating for the purchase
of Galapagos Islands from Ecuador , nor has
it any intention of securing the Islands.
Official ignorance- professed on the whole
matter and there Is some astonishment nt the
action of the United States senate In passIng -
Ing Senator Lodge's resolution. The As
sociated Press learns that Ecuador may be
said to have no Intention of parting with
the Islands nt any price. Whether or not
unofficial steps \vere taken by Great Britain
\\lththevlewof their possible purchase is a
mere matter of surmise , But It Is certain
tint , according to the highest Drltlsh ofllcals ,
these steps never reached the stage of of
ficial negotiations. Special cable.dispatches
from the United States Interpreting the
senate's action as emphasizing the United
States' adherence to the Monroe doctrine
have caused no stir In official circles here , as
It is believed the international iclatlons be-
'Lween ' the two countries have been so
changed since the Venezuela affair that iMan-
roclsm will never again cause a misunder
standing.
