motion of MIR. Cannon. of llllnOiS,a reSO-
luton was adopted directing the clerk
to inform the senate that the house had
organized and was really to proceed to
business. Messrs. Mckinley, Cannon
and Carlisle were appointed as COM
mittee to inform the president to the
same effect. Mr.. Perkins. of Kansas,
offered resolution providing for the
drawing of seats by lot. Immediately
there was a chorus of suggestions as to
what members should be exempted
from the danger of ill-luck by
being allotted their seats In ad-
vance. Finally. on motion of Mr.. Nc
Creary. of Kentucky, resolution was
adopted, the effect of which was to per-
nit eX-SDeakerS Banks. Randall and
Carlisle, and Kelley, of Pennsylvania, to
select their seats. MIR. Flower, of New
York, made an earnest effort to have
the name of Mr.. Turner. of New York,
placed on the roll, SO that he might
have an even chance with the others in
the selection of seats. but an objection
was made on the Republican side. draw
ing forth from Mr.. Flower the remark:
"The ice man will give you cold ride
when he comes here" Mr.. Perkins's
amendment was then adopted and the
members retired to the area in the rear

THE SEMI-CIRCLE OF SEATS.
In accordance with Mr.. McCreary's
resolution, Mir. Banks walked down and
selected seat to the left of the speak
er's desk, well i'm front, Mr.. Randall's
old seat was secured for him, and Mr..
Kelley selected seat across the aisle
from that occupied last session by
Mr. Mills, of Texas. Then the lottery
began and "P" proved the l1cky letter.

of Tennessee. being fortunate. was soon
a right hand neighbor of Mr.. Carlisle,
with Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, directly in
front. Messrs. GroSvenOr, Breckin-
ridge. of Kentucky; Mason, of Illinois.
and Cannon, were favOrites of fortune,
and retained their old desks. Mr.. Nc
Kinley was glad to leave his old seat on
the extreme left and to obtain desk
well in the center of the house. with
Mr.. Hit. of Illinois, as neighbor. MIR.
Allen, of Mississippi, though early in
the field, was modest, and reserved
seat rather far back on the main aisle.
The first fortunate New Workers were
Mr.. Farguhar, who seated himself in
front of Mr.. Mckinley. and Mr.. Flower,
who chose the seat in the front row
which he occupied when before IN con-
grpss. Mr.. Lodge. of Massachusetts,
preferred the c0mpanionship OF Nc
Kinley and Hit to more prominent

members. MIR. Spinola, of New York,
and Mr.. Lawler. of Illinois, became
neighb0rs of Mr.. Flower. while Allen.

the Republican side. MeSsrs. Nc
COmas, of Maryland. and Payne, Of
Pennsylvania. settled near the main
aisle well to the rear. Maine, as repre-
seuted by MessrS. Milllken and BOu-
telle. was fortunate, and these gentle
men obtained good seats, but MIR Ding
ley was not so lucky. Messrs. Mills, of
Texas. Crisp. of Georgia, and McCreary.
of Kentucky, will watch the proceed
ings of the house from seats much less
advantageously situated than those oc-
cupied by them last session. AS the
number of good seats dwindled away,
the faces of the unlucky members peer
ing over the brasS-barred screens, be-
came more and more anxious and dis
gruntled, and they looked with envious
eyes at their more fortunate neigh6OrS.
Mr.. Henderson. of Iowa; Burrows, of
Michigan. and ButterwOrth. of Ohio,
were the unlucky ones, and they had to
content themselves with rear seats. The
drawing having been concluded, the
Sergean ant-at-armS-elect appeared at the
bar of the house and qualified. Mr..
Bayne, of Pennsylvania. offered a res
OlutiOn directing the speaker to appoint
the committees OH rules, acts, enrolled
bills and mileage. each to consist of the
same number of members as is provided
for by the rules of the Fiftieth congress
to the committee on rules. Adopted.
The house then adjourned.
