HOUSE IN AN UPROAR.

When Speaker Cannon finished the House was
in an uproar IL could not be controlled, nor did
the presiding officer make any effort to control
il. Members who had sat in silence during the
delivery of the speech, Democrats and Republi-
cans alike. crowded around the Speaker TO shake
his hand and tell him how glad they were that
the long drawn out fight for statehood had been
happily ended in a compromise. and that hts
speech expressed the sentiment of the members.
Mr.. Moon. previously. in presenting the views
of the minority said:
