WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The caucus
selection Of Utah senators was an in
teresting topic of discussion among
congressman and senators today. The
morning papers had but brief dis
patches from Salt Lake announcing
that Frank Cannon and Arthur Brown
had been chosen. but tonight's papers
have an extended account. The selec-
ton of Brown was a surprise TO those
who know something of affairs in Utah.
hut Frank Cannon had given notice
to his associates in the house that he
would be chosen. The impression pre-
vailed here that Colonel Trumbo would
be selected as one of the senators.
Some of his friends declare Trumbos
defeat to be a piece of rank ingrati-
tude. TIE colonel was well known to
senator's. who remembered his efforts
with George Q. Cannon to pass the ad-
mission bill through the senate. They
expected that he would be rewarded
for his loyalty to the MOrmOns and
cannot understand why he failed to be
recognized. SenG.0r Allison of Iowa is
very friendly to the colonel, and ex-
pressed his disappointment when he
heard the news from Utah.
He said today: I have personal
knowledge of the work that Colonel
Trumbo did to secure U1ah's admis-
sion He is known to nearly every
senator and every one of them knows
that he worked untiringly. l am not
personally acquainted with either Of
the gentlemen named by the caucus
but if they are as jealous and ener-
getic and as faithful and loyal To Utah
as Trumbo has been, they will make
frst-class senators for the new state"
The presidents private secretary,
Thurber. seems to have been interested
in Trumbos candidacy also, and ex-
pressed surprise that he was defeated.
Judge Carlton, formerly member of
the Utah commission, is in Washing
ION. Il have not kept we'll posted on
Utah affairs recently" said he, and
cen ID faly have not sought to offer any
advice to Utah people in regulating
their own affairs. but was confident
that they would not elect an editor who
made il his daily business to abuse the
Mormons. The people of Utah are to
be congratulated that Judge Goodwin
will not represen. Them in the SEN
ate
Some disappointment was expressed
among Republican senators today that
there would be a further delay of two
weeks before the senator's from Utah
can be seated. They are waiting for
their votes in order to reorganize the
senate. Nothing in this way viii be
attempted until they arrive.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The an
nouncement that the bond syndicate
had been dissolved was received with
surprise. although among officials con
versant with the changed situation no
other course has seemed open to Mr..
Morgan and his associates. The rea-
son given for the dissolution is ac-
cepted as the true one, since Mr.. Nor
gan and his friends are fully aware of
the fact that the success of the loan
by popular subscription is no longer a
matter of doubt. To hold the banks
to the terms of the contract, it is ar
gued, would prevent any of them from
participating in the loan except in the
capacity of q syndicate under which
the changed conditions almost certain
Iy would result to their disadvantage.
Mr. Morgan's purpose, therefore, in
releasing his associates, it is believed,
is to give them an equal chance with
other banks and financial institutions
to secure whatever part of the loan
they may desire.
The only criticism so far heard of
Mr.. Morgan'3 public statement is that
his assertion that he was invited to
Washington for a conference" is mis-
that this invitation came from the
president or by his sanction from some
member of the cabinet. This, it is said,
is not the fact When Mr. Morgan
came to Washington the president de-
clined to see him, nor, it is added, did
he confer with any member of the
cabinet at the presidents suggestion.
1t is stated on high authority that
the president and Secretary Carlisle
have received such assurances from a
large number of prominent bankers
throughout the country that there can
not be a doubt as to the loan being a
success.
1t is argued that during the late break
in the market which followed the an
nouncement of the governments atti-
tude on the Venezuelan question, eastern
bankers took advantage of the sharp
decline in American securities, and as a
result their holdings are now large and
must be protected from further decline
which would necessarily follow the fail
ure of a loan or the depletion of the re-
serve to a point so unfavorable as to
effect the market.
Under these circumstances it is believed
that should large export movement
set in before the loan is contaminated
the large banks and other financial in
situations would neutralize the effect by
making deposits of gold. In any event
the officials here are not apprehensive
of any serious difficulty in maintainina
