admission OF Utah in the house the other
day Representative Morse. OF Massaehu-
setts, aroused the ire of Wilson of WASH

union for political purposes. Ana confess,
with shame and nortincation, that my
party is 10 blame for some OF II. les, We
have admitted states for political pur-
poses, mere mining camps"
Some further boasting about Rhode
Island and Delaware. that fought for the
independence of this country, having
rights that no mining camp can have,
brought Wilson to his feet lie said:
"The gentleman has spoken very elo-
auently and very feeling with reference 10
Rhode Island aud Delaware and their
services III behalf of American freedom.
But is II not true that they came into the
union in much the same manner that

Gregor sat, and that they would not con-
sent 10 anything until they secured GER

a fact that they demanded two United

and that they are now complaining OF the

until they secured the representation which
they now havel They we're in at the be-
ginning and they secured the lions share

among officials and diplomats is
that the rumors are premature, 10

showing that the rumors are not true.

ton no cables have been received
