MILLIONS WERE INVOLVED.
The Important Lake Front Cases Decided in
Favor Of the City Of Chicago.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The United States
Supreme Court to-day affirmed the judg-
ment of the Circuit Court in the we'll
known Chicago lake front cases. The
lower court decided in favor of the local
authorities, and held that the Illinois Gen.
submerged lands along about one and four
ffths mile of the waterfront of the most
valuable part of the harbor of Chicago.
The value of the property IN litigation is
estimated at from s6.O0o.0 900. ac-
cordinR to the figure given in
court BY counsel Jewett, of the
Illinois Central. to 0.0O0 600. the largest
estimate made. About 1860 acres were
in dispute. Justice Field delivered the
opinion of the court. Justices Shiras,
Brown and Gray dissented. The Chief
below and Mr.. Justlce BiaCchfOrd being n
stockholder in the Illinois Central Railroad
Company, did not take any part in the con-
eideratlon or decision of the cases. Thus
the city of CHICAGO and the State of Illi-
nois won the cases by the narrow majority
of four to three. The four justices in favor
of the city are Justices Field. Harlan.
Lamar and Brewer.
The opinion of Justice Field on this case
Is one of great Importance, aside even from
the great value of the property in contro-
versy. The decision will likely form o
landmark in future litigation. To con-
The controlling spirit of the decision is the
sovereignty of the people over even their

MIRTH IN THE HOUSE.
The Opening Marked by Handwriting
Good Feeling All Around.

The Opening Marked by Handshaking and
Good Feeling All Around.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The general good
feeling of humor and self-sstisfaotion which
was noticeable among the members present
at high noon to-day when the House was
called to order has probably never been
surpassed on similar occasion. The large
Democratic majority were still flushed
with triumph of the recent overwhelming
victory. and at the same time rejoiced in
the fact that it's continuance in power was
assured. Handshaking and mirth early,be-
came epidemic. Sedate old veterans re-
laxed their accustomed immobility of
countenance and smiled. Men grown gray
with age renewed their youth and enthusi-
astically slapped their companions upon
the back. The Republicans. of course, did
not share in this hilarity. but the humor of
the situation relieved oil feeling of resent
ment and they viewed the exuberance of
their Democratic brethren with apparent
Resignation,
To-day showed that the opening of a new
session had lost none of Its charms Tor tho
people of Washington. and it was notice
able that in the number present were many
tourists, who. happening to be in the city,
took advantage of what is to them an un-
usual treat. The halls leading to tho
House were jammed with people long be-
fore the hour for assem- bling. and the cham
Der itself was alive with peoDie. Among
them were constituents, even thus early,
seeking the influence and assistance of
their members in legislation that will come
mp during the session that began to-day.
1t was impossible to give seats to all
those who carried tickets of admission,
even after the sacred precincts of the exec
utiye and diplomatic galleries had been
invaded. In the executive gallery the only
representative of any branch of the gov
ernment was the son of Chief justlce Full
Ter, while In the diplomatic gallery
Mrs. Romero wife of the Mexican minister.
and the attaches of tho Spanish legation,
were the only representatives of the
diplomatic corps. The floor of the House
looked as if it might have been transformed
into vast conservatory. Never before.
perhaps, has there been such wonderful
display OF flowers as to-day. There were
posies for congratulation and for condo
lence. for the donors had not been unmind-
ful of either the victorious or defoated.
Not less than sixty desks were covered with
the offerings of the admirers OF the states
men who occupied them.
At noon the House was called to order
ana the usual committees appointed to wait
upon the Senate and President to inform
them that regular work of the session had
begun. After the transaction of some un-
important routine business q recess of
thirty minutes was taken. when q report
was received that the President would not
send q communication TO the House.
Resolutions IN honor of Edward 4. Nc
Kenna, deceased, late Represent tative from
New jersey, ere adopted, and the House,
at 12:40, adjourned as token OF respect.
