WASHINGTON, D. G, Nov. 80. ls95.

Washington, d. c.. Nov. 80, 1895.
Delegate Frank ]. Cannon arrived
last night in the city, and has been
busying himself all day at the various
departments. Mr.. Cannon attended
the Republican caucus tonight. AL
though as Delegate he had no vote,
he expressed himself as regretful that
Western man was not chosen Clerk.
Delegate Cannon said this evening
that he was in a position to state,
from interviews had today, that the
proclamation of admission will GER
tainly be issued as soon as possible
after the receipt of certiiication of re-
turns from the Utah Commissioners.
There is absolutely no faction here
on this question. Utah has followed to
the letter t'only the enabling act, but
the sentiment of the United States
which stood behind its passage. The
attempt to overwhelm the Administra-
ton with factious complaints concern
Ing the character of the Constitution
adopted and misrepresentation of the
political situation in Utah are so COM
pletely unheeded as to place the per-
petrators of the last outrage in a ridi-
culous attitude. The general senti-
ment of the East Is entirely in favor
OF Utah. l never had any doubt on
this subject, but have been much graft
fled to learn that all the commotion
was In the mouths of few malcon-
tents. and that the Government and
the public intend to welcome Utah in
to her sovereignty as soon as the steps
OF formality can be taken"
Mr. Cannon had an interview with
Mr.. Reed today The Western dele
gates are to hold a conference on Mon
day and suggest their assignments to

ask for places on such committees as
