Washington, Feb. 22.-The four years' contest against Reed Smoot being permitted to retain his seat as Senator from Utah was ended on the 20th inst mt by a vote of 42 to 28 in favor of Smoot.

Every seat in the gallory was tilled and during the voting standing room on the floor was orowded by thc members of the House and the Sen ate employees.

Senators Dubois, Honsbrough, Newlands, Bacon and Burroughs spoke against Smoot, and Beveridge, Doll iver aud Foraker for him. Throughout the entire speech making Smoot listened attentively, but when aotual voting began be re tired to the oloak room awaiting the result.

Of?the forty-two votes for Smoot three were by Democrats-Black burn, Clark of Montana and Daniel. Later Smoot was given a hearty reception in the oloak room.
