resentativeelect Allen and Junius F
Wells met at the RIggs House at a little
before 10 oclock this morning and re
naired to the White House to see Presi
dent Cleveland affix his signature to the
document by which Utah was to become
a state Private Secretary Thurber had
promised to inform President Cleveland
of the contemplated visit of the Utah
men and said he would notify Governor
West but failed to do so But the Utah
colony went anyhow Before they had
reached his excellency however the
president had signed the proclamation I
and while they were in the anteroom
Thurber brought it out before it was
dry Frank Cannon was given the cov
eted pen
The signature of the proclamation was
awaited with great Interest by Governor
West and Delegate Cannon just outside
of the presidents room The instrument
used was an ordinary wood pen hoHer
with a steel stub pen This was handed
to Mr Cannon who will take it to Palt
Lake where it will be placed on exhibi
tion and preserved as a historic relif
According to promise Private Scare
ary Thurber also sent a telegram Imme
diately upon the signature of the docu
ment to the governor of the state of
Utah announcing the fact of exact
moment of Signature which was 30
oclock The people of the new state had
made preparations in advance to cee
brate the occasion
The proclamation itself after being
shown to Governor West and Delegate
Cannon was sent by special messenger
to the department of state where it was
placed among the archives of the United
I
States government Notwithstanding its
importance it is by no means an im
posing document in appearance being
written in Mr Prudens handwriting with
a stub pen upon one large double sheet
of plain white paper stamped with the
great seal of the United States

Glory Floated From Every Flag

The glad tidings that statehood had
at 1ist come was received in Salt Lake I
with wild enthusiasm
It was some time after the receiving
sounder at the Western Union through
which the message came had clicked
out the announcement that President
Cleveland had signed the proclamation
before the demonstration became gen
eral but when it did there was such a
hubbub as never before rent the air or
fell upon the ears of the Inhabitants
of Zion
Whistles sounded cannon thundered
bells tolled and the deafening sounds
of hundreds of bombs formed but a
part of the greatest jubilation wit
nessed in the intermountain region
On the streets and around corridors
men shook hands with each other
strangers and acquaintances alike as
if all were equal and every man as
good as his neighbor all giving vent
to expressions of joy and salutations
such as Happy new state to you or
All hail to Utah and the whole
multitude seemed Inspired with a
lofty spirit of patriotism such as has
has never been seen here
At an early hour the streets were
thronged with bustling animated en
thusiastic crowds particularly alone
Main street in the vicinity of Sie
Western Union office All were
anxious to hear the first news
proclaimed that the crown of the
greatest union on the face of the earth
had been studded with the brightest
diadem of them all Utah It was just
913 oclock when the flash was re
ceived that the proclamation had been
signed and no sooner had word been
caught than Superintendent Brown
grasped a shotgun ran out in front of
the office and fired two resounding vol
leys This was sufficient for a mas
sing of the crowds in front of the tele
graph office and as the full meaning
of the signal became known a mighty
cheer from hundreds of jubilant
throats rent the brisk morning air
The news spread as if carried in
electrical currents in the atmosphere
and soon the whole city was In one
wild state of excitement Merchants
began to decorate their places of busi
ness patriotic citizens hung out the
national colors on their private resi
dences and within a remarkably brief
period the city was clothed in holiday
attire On every hand were indica
tions of festivity and Old Glory
wafted in the breeze from every build
ing in the business portion of the city
As the hours passed on the multi
I tudes on the streets increased and
beaming countenances testifying to
I universarjubilation were to be seen on
every hand Toward 11 oclock the
steam whistles began to sound A
monster whistle provided by the city
council tooted from the tower of the
joint city and county building steadily
for two hours while the noise from
every whistle on every factory in the
city sang out in melodious accompani
ment At 1130 the battery of the
National Guard of Utah fired the
national salutetwentyone gunsfrom
Capitol Hill The reports of the can
non intermingled with the ringing of
bells and blowing of whistles produced
a noise that usually would be con
sidered unbearable but yesterday the
sound was as agreeable as the softest
strains from an instrument because
It shouted out that an event of the
greatest moment to the people of the
state had taken place
To attempt to enumerate tlhe places
decorated would be vain Everyone
particularly in the business section
took occasion to make displays of the
iniational colors
TIre Z C M L bad a magnificent
I silver star representative of the latest
addition to the national emblem en
I shrined in evergreens with the stars
i and stripes for a background Numer
ous flags dotted the entire front of the
building
I The city hall and the fire department <
headquarters were studded With flags
I and presented a holiday appearance
I Suspended between the towers of the
I temple a magnificent specimen of Old
I Glory fluttered in the gentle breezes
t that rolled down from the Wasatch
I range In the evening there was a
most brilliant display of electrical fl
i lumiraations
i One of the prettiest displays was In
front of No 27 East First South where
I a star of immense proportions had been
artistically constructed bearing the
inscription The Fortyfifth Star in
red white and blue
In front of the Citizens Electric Light
companys ofnc on Second South there
was am artistic electrical illumination
last night
Colonel Isaac Trumbos residence was
becomingly attired in colors of red
white and blue and literally covered
with flags
One incident which illustrated the
deep feeling of satisfaction experienced
by all Utonians transpired at one of
the hotels in the afternoon A party
of old men who have been residents of
Utah all their lives sat exchanging
reminiscences of days gone by After
a while the conversation lagged and
the group of old settlers sat silent with
bowed heads as though buried in the
past Statehood finally mused one
abstractedly well weve been fightin1
for it night on forty years and then
they all got up and shook hands as
if by common impulse I 5
It is doubtful if the enthusiasm will
again be so stirred up among the peo
ple even on Inauguration day as yes
terday It seemed as if old and young
men and women were waiting only to
o
hear the news that the countrys chief
executive with a stroke of the pen
had declared Utah oh an equal footing
with her fortyfour sister states
When the announcement was made
the outburst of enthusiasm was
spontaneous Today the news will be
come general and by tomorrow the
great masses will have been brought
to a universal realization of it
The Progress building was among
the most profusely decorated blocks
on Main street
Many of the offices in the joint
city and county building were clothed
in national colors Treasurer May wns
among the first to decorate with
numerous small liars
All the Republican senatorial candi
dates headquarters were appropriate
ly decorated
As soon as the president had signed
the proclamation Governor West sent
Acting Governor Richards a congratu
latory private telegram which was re
ceived here simultaneously with the
official announcement The message
was as follows

An Important Order Made Yesterday
By Judge Gilbert
PORTLAND Or Jan 4In the
matter of the Northern Pacific re
ceivership Judge Gilbert of the United
States circuit court has issued a rule
nl si calling Upon the Farmers Loan
and Trust company the Northern Pa
cific Railroad company and Receivers
Burleitfh Bonner and Mills to show
cause before him in the United States
circuit court at Helena on Jan 9 why
the present diversified receiverships in
the different districts should not be
made uniform and harmonious by the
appointment of one or more receivers
to manage the property who should
work together as a unit The rule was
obtained on motion of J M Aston
counsel for the receivers The fact
that Judge Gilbert has made this or
der returnable before himself at Hel

that he has concluded to put an end to
the present conditions and to do all
in his power for the purpose of solving
the existing differences

There were so many other matters to
engage the attention of politicians
and legislators yesterday that the sen
atorial controversy was practically
dropped for the day and interest In
matters practically centered in the
Republican caucus to decide upon the
organization of the legislature and
the Democratic caucus in the evening
to settle the question as to the c6urse
Democratic members should take in
voting for candidates for the United
States Senate and on other legislative
matters effecting the interests of tEe
party The Republicans succeeded in
making the selections for whom they
will votev when the session convenes
but owing to the fact that the Utah
county delegation had not reached the
city the Democrats did not arrive at
any definite conclusion and postponed
their caucus until all could be pres
ent
REPUBLICANS CAUCUS
The caucus of Republicans was
called for 1030 yesterday morning but
there was so milch celebrating over
the good news that the president had
signed the statehood proclamation at
the time that the members did not all
get together and it became necessary
to postpone the meeting until 2 oclock
At that hour the party members of
both houses came together at the joint
building in senarate caucuses
THE HOUSE CAUCUS
Presley Denny of Beaver wis
chosen chairman of the meeting of the
house members and H M Cushing of
Salt Lake secretary When nomina
tions were made Mr Denny was found
to have a majority of the votes for the
speakershiD on the first ballot E B
Critchiow of Salt Lake James M
Bolitho of Sevier and A Caziar of
Juab were among the others placed in
nomination Mr Bolitho withdrew
from the contest in order to allow the
office of sergeantatarms to go to his
county and the vote for Caziar and
Critchiow was about evenly divided
The house members had hoped that
the senate would meet in joint caucus
with them to aisroortion the minor of
fices of the two houses in a way to be
as fairly represented geographically
possible and desoatched a committee
composed of Bolitho of Sevier and
Snedaker of Salt Lake to wait on the
senate caucus to learn the members
views The latter were disinclined to
enter into the proposition and accord
ingly each body proceeded to select its
own candidates Those chosen toy tha
house caucus were

er building as stated was postponed
to a future date Twelve members

jects to be considered when the caucus

canvassed it airoeared to be the opin
ion of all the gentlemen Present that

United States Senate and on all matters
affecting the Interest of the party

serve throughout the session when a
caucus to conserve party interests by
concerted action becomes necessary
SENATORIAL AFFAIRS
Little or nothing new developed In
the senatorial situation yesterday The
managers of candidates and their
boomers of course kept up a steady
hammering away at the legislators
whenever opportunity afforded but the
day passed without any material
cbamse in the strength the various
candidates
