WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-For fully an
hour before Speaker Carlisle at 12
o'clock to-day struck his desk with g
brand new gavel and called the house
to order, scene was presented OIL the
floor which was highly noisy and mirth-
full. The desks of the members were
nearly all occupied. and each man
talked to the other in loud tone OF
voice, explaining election incidents and
accidents. There was much handShak-
ing. When Mr.. Randall, looking fairly
well, entered and took his seat, a few
minutes before IL o'clock, he was imme-
diately surrounded and heartily con-
graduated upon his convalescence. A
splendid floral Offering stood upon his
desk. There were baskets of flowers
upon the desks of the speaker, and
Messrs. Springer, Weaver. Mills. Say
ers, Richardson and others. Mrs.

wore a tan-colored cloth suit and a dark
brown plush hat. The other galleries
were filled to overlooking. After the
blind chaplin, Rev. DR.. Milburn, had
offered supplication and the reading
clerk began to call the roll of the house,
the members recommended their chat
ter, continuing 1t while the secretary of
the senat read the announcement that
the upper body of congress had
reassembled, was ready for busi-
ness and had appointed COM
mittee to act with similar
committee OH the part of house to wait
upon and notify the president that con-
gross awaited his pleasure. The presi-
dents message was read 10 the house Of
representatives by Reading Clerk
Brown. He began at 1855 and con-
cluded at 3:15 p. m. Nearly every
member was present. the only proml-
neDt absentee being MIR. Randall, who,
after answering the roll call, left the
capitol. The Strictest attention at the
beginning of the reading was given by
members of both sides of the chamber.

and did not cause the clerk to halt in
his reading. When the message touched
on the dismissal of Minister Sackville,
and said it was necessary to the dignity
of this government to have ''new per-
sonal channel" of communication with
Great Britain, the Republicans broke out
in decisive laughter, which was renewed
when the clerk read the passage saying
that the British minister's offence took
place at the crisis of a presidential cleo
ton; and again where he read the ref
erence to Minister Sackyille as 1.-THE
person." Interest in the message tagged
when the reading of the recommended
tons of the various departments was
reached. and members all over the house
kept up constant buzz of converse
ton, visited one another and smoked
and talked in groups behind the screens.
When, at 3:l5, the reading was COM
pleted, Mr.. Mills offered a resolution
which was agreed to, referring the mes
sage to the committee of the whole and
providing for its printing. The house
then adjourned.
