leading up to it are almost unparalleled IN
tho country's annals. At Que o'clock the
bill was reported to the House aud the clos
ing speeches were made Such vast con.
course of people as assembled to hear the
final arguments had never before been seen
within the precincts of the Nations capitol
Nothing like it was ever known in the
history of the Oldest inhabitant For hours
before the great debate, the galleries were
filled with surging mass Of humanity,
which became so great that men cried out
in terror and women tainted II is est.
mated that over twenty thousand tried to
gain admission to the galleries OF the House.
For three hours the orators of the champions
of the two economic systems followed, Reed
Crisp aud Wilson, while their partizaus
made the air ring with their shouts of ap.
proval. The appearance Of the Speaker Of
the House upon the floor, engaged in debate
WAS in itself, remarkable, as well as an
unusual thing. Each of the speakers seemed
to be in the best form and ths. speeches of
to-day will rank among the most brilliant of
their lives. When they we're finished,
Wilson, who spoke last, was lifted on the
shoulders of his admirrng colleagues and
carried triumphantly from the hall, amid a
scene of wild enthusiasm.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l.-Latest indications
are that Utah may not lie admitted for some
time. The bill may possibly be acted upon
so as to take effect next Winter so that the
State may possibly be admitted by year
from the 4th of next March when the new
Congress comes in. Senator Faulkner said
to-day 1t would be comparatively long
time before the Utah bill would be reported.
The members of the Democratic steering
committee positively refuse to talk upon tho
subject or to answer any questions as to
what the majority propose to do.
New YORK, Feb. 1.-The elections held
in this city yesterday show tremendous
Democratic losses, A political reaction
seems to have set in A majority of nearly
nine thousand is overturned by the defeat of

gress. The Republican gain is 9S09 This
is the result of the feeling occasioned over
the Wilson tariff bill
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-Congress occu-
pied the day in considering the Income Tax
and the Whiskey bills. The final vote on
the Income Revenue bill which has been
added to the Wilson bill as an amendment,
will be taken tomorrow.
As to Statehood for Utah it is stated that
it will take very large sized microscope tc
find the evidences of Democratic anxiety to
admit the Territory. The leaders in Wash
ington, under the earnest entreaties of Dele
gate Rawlins and John 7. Cane, have given
assurances OF their desire to pass the Raw
lins bill, but there is no sign of acting in the
situation. The Committee on Territories
met to-day but not word was said about
the Congressional Democrats are afraid t.
admit the Territory and are just as afrsid
to admit the fact. This is quite apparen
to the Democrats of Utah also. Their hant
has been forced and they are trying to max
the best of it under the scathing criticism
which they are receiving from all sides
The statement in the Salt Lake press tina
President Cleveland was opposed to the ad
mission of any of the Territories, has throw
wet blanket over the efforts of Rawlin
and Caine, who feel that the organs in Ziol
are little premature, and, under the cir
oumstances, unfortunate. The real troubl
in the matter is that the Utah bill could
passed in an hour, SO far as the Republican
are concerned, if the majority would oul
allow it to be taken out of the committe,
1t is sheer bosh to say it has not been hel
back, and it j, not difficult to guess tn
reason

feel greatly discouraged at Admiral Dagami
miral. 1t is reported that the younger of
GERS favor having him replaced by mo
energetic commander.
