UTAH'S SENATORS CHOSEN
Cannoa and Brown Will Represent the
New State
There Was No Excitement, as the Action of
the Caucus Settled the Question.
Speeches Made

SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. 21.-Frank ].
Cannon and Arthur Brown were today
elected to the United States senate, with
but two dissenting voices among the Re-
publican members of the legislature.
There was no excitement during the bal
loting. ltwas foregone conclusion that
the caucus had practically settled the
election.
The ballot in the senate was ~ each for
Cannon and Brown (Republicans), and 5
each for Thatcher and Rawlins Demo
crats.)
In the house the ballot was: Cannon 81,
Brown 20, Goodwin 1, Bennett 1, Thatcher
IA, Rawlins Ia.
When the vote was announced a COM
mittee of three was appointed to conduct
the successful candidates to the senate
chamber, and, after a few minutes wait,
they entered amidst tumultuous cheering
and applause.
Senator Brown spoke substantially as
follows:
II have come ct your request to return
unto you my heartfelt thanks for your ac-
ton in my behalf this afternoon. In do
ing so l remember the great responsibility
which devolves upon me, and however un-
equal to the task l may be, l can assure
you ttldt L Will DIV 10 Aouuei tiyIhS W
do my humble duty to the people who sen t
me to represent them. One of my grestest
aims will be to hoist the cause of silver at
the needed ratio of Is to l, and not only
will use my greatest efforts in behalf OF
silver, bnt hope will always be found
striving in my weak way to work for the
advancement OF Utah's interest in gen.
eral." (Applause.)
Senator Frank j. Cannon then arose
and said in part: "Citizens of Utah:
For what you have conferred upon
me, 1 thank you. 1t is not, l
hope, above what my future ac-
tions will deserve. In your voting today
you have voted for free men, and in elect
ing Mr.. Brown and myself to represent you
in the legislative halls of the nation you
send us as representatives of a free state.
The actions of this legislative body in
electing us have been actions untainted
and unblemished. For the present condi-
ton of this stale we should thank God, and
for the honor conferred upon me thank
Won most heartily"

To Avoid diving Testimony Against Her
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.-Truly Shat
tuck, the young actress, has fled to avoid
testifying against her mother who is being
tried for the murder OF Harry Poole. Truly
was the chief witness against her mother
during the first trial, as Mrs. Shattuck shot
the young man on account of his attentions
to her daughter, and it was proved that
Truly, at the command of her mother,
wrote Poole note which summoned him
to her house the day he was shot. 1t is
said Miss Shattuck has accepted an en-
gagement TO sing in Montana theater and
that she sailed for Portland on Sunday.
The trial was postponed today by Judge
Belcher, who directed the police TO appre-
hend the missing witness. The chief of
police at Portland has been wired to inter-
cept the fugitive.
PORTLAND, Or, j an. 21.-Miss Truly Shat
tuck arrived on the steamer from San
Francisco this afternoon. Chief of Police
Mimic interviewed Miss Shattuck on her
arrival and learned that she was on her
way to Great Falls, Mont, to fill an en-
gagement in theater there. Chief Minto
has no authority to arrest Miss Shattuck,
as she was not under bond, and he sc,ord-
ingly forwarded an affidavit to the San
Francisco authorities to that effect. Miss
Shattuck will probably continue her jour-
ney to Montana.

May Yet Be Constructed by
British Capital
A NECESSITY OF COMMERCE
Is What Warner Miller Calls the Nicara.
qua Canal
The National Association Of Manufacturers in
Session at Chicago VIII Work Out
the Waterway

Associated Press Special Wire.
CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-United States Sena-
tor Warner Miller arrived in this city last
night to attend the meeting of the National
Manufacturer association, of which he is
president. In an interview he said:
1.-THE object of the association is to get
the manufacturers of the country in
touch with each other and the industrial
life of the nation, and to create public
sentiment to induce congress to establish
the policy of reciprocity and to foster
the fast mail and communication with
the South American points whose trade
ought to be ours. We must have mail and
rapid communication with these countries
or we can never have their business. The
Manufacturers association is also inter-
ested in great waterways, commissions
and in the building of the Nicaragua canal,
which is necessity of the modern
commercial intercourse between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts, as we'll
and the Sandwich islands. 1t is also ne
cessty for our national defence. When
the canal is built it will practically obviate
the necessity for a double navy to guard
our Atlantic and Pacific coasts, for it will
not only connect both, but decrease the
space between t1eIn lO,UOO I1lleB.
The association will take the ground that
the canal should be owned and operated
by the United States. AS to the completion
of that enterprise there can be no
doubt. I know the canal will be built
and if the United States does not
build it, Europe will establish another
pregnant cause of war when national
troubles and jealousies arise. The present
Venezuelan troubles emphasized the ne
cessity for this canal. Money for its
construction could have been secured
long ago from Europe if our national
legislature had not been talking and pass
ing resolutions about it's ownership. If
congress does not do anything this session
we will feel perfectly free 10 look else
where for the means to complete the link
between the oceans. If the report
of the commission sent to examine it are
such as have been given out in the papers
we are prepared to disprove its falsity.
We can prove by the best engineers in
this country and abroad that our work is
feasible"
The first annual convention of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers as
sembled today at Music hall for three
days session, fully 500 delegates being
present from all sections of the country
and representing every branch of trade.
Among the principal subjects to be dis
cussed are the devsng of ways and means
for the re-estaDlishment of reciprocity
agreements with foreign covntriet, the
control of the Nicaragua canal by the
United States, the extension of the United
States merchant marine and the esab-
lishment at South American capitals and
other desirable points of eXpositions for
the display of American products.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The prediction
is freely made by members of the house

lowed to rest quietly in the committee files.
A canvas of more than majority OF both
Republican and Democratic members of
committee failed to discover any member
who indorsed it. One of the foremost au-
thorities on diplomatic matters in the

the tension between this government and
Great Britain in what practically amounted
to a crisis.

Ihe Trinidad Affair

Senior Carlos Carvalho, the Brazilian min
lister for foreign affairs, is preparing
note demanding the immediate restitution
of the island of Trinidad, occupied by
Great Britain, to Brazil, says: There
is nothing improbable in this
news. 1t is, indeed, rather to be well
coined, because it affords a test of the sim
certy with which the government of the
United States intends TO discharge itself of

MEXICO CITY. Jan. 21.-Leading Cubans
here do not credit the rumor that Spain in
tends to sell the island to England. They
say Spain will hold on to the bitter end,
but they have hopes of success and predict
that with the arrival of hot weather and
yellow fever, next month, the Spanish
troops will be decimated.
Several prominent Mexican dailies of
this city propose to follow the example of
the Universale and take the Associated
Press report, finding it's service superior in
promptness and fullness to the old service:
The Mexican Herald, which introduced
the Associated Press, has made many
brilliant "scoops'' on Cuban and Venezue-
Ian news, and the result is that Mexican
editors find their subscribers demanding
modern and up.to-date service.

One purpose of tomorrow's meeting

contingent upon the failure Of both of

to it's rehabilitation on basis of 16 to /.
1t is not necessary that the adherents of
the proposed new party should have sew
