Monetary Conference III Doubt
About What TO
Consider.
Garnet Will Not Resign the Pres
idency-Cabinet Crisis
Still On.
Frances Chief Executive MAY
Ask the Radicals to Form
a Ministry.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 5.-When the inter
national monetary conference resumes
Its sittings tomorrow the first matter
requiring settlement will be whether
the report Of the committee appoiAteG
to consider the Rothschild plan shall
be further debated or the proposals of
the American delegates proceeded
with.
Mr.. Rothschild, Sir C. Fremantle and
sir William Houldsworth, all of whom
are British delegates, desire some ex-
preston Of opinion regarding Mr.
Rothschild's plan from the full con-
ference.
Mr.. Bertram Currie, another British
delegate, aims to bring the conference
20 a speedy close, and, in common with
some of the other delegates, who are
resigned to see the conference result IN
failure, would accelerate the consider
alton of the American resolutions, as
Fastening the winding up of the meet
ing.
Sir c. Fremantle, with a view to the
resumption of the debate on the Roths-
child plan, has amended his declara-
ton declining to pledge the English
government to withdraw its half-sov-
ereign pieces in favor Of silver by add
ing the words except concurrent!y
with the adoption of the Rothschild
project or some ether proposal having
the same compensatory value
Sir c. Fremautle, vino is deputy
master of the British mint, has never
been known to take independent &C
ton or personal initiative, and it is
therefore taken for granted that he is
the mouthpiece Of the British govern
slent in announcing assent to the abo-
Gtlon of the half-sovereign.
If, despite the adverse report of the
committee, the full conference adopts
the Rothschild plan. d number of the
delegates will want the conference to
close or adjourn on Dec. IL at the
latest. If an adjournment is taken it
is doubtful if there viii be a full at
tendance when the sittings are re-
sumed in January.

Both Houses Of Congress Called
to Order at Noon Yes
to-day.
Vice-President Begins His Last
Session in the
Chair.
Usual Crowd of Spectators
Worlds Fair Legislation
Comes to the Front.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The Fifty
Second Congress entered upon its Sec
ond and last session at noon to-day.
The signal was two simultaneous taps
of the gavel, one given in the Senate
by the Vice President and the other in
the House by Speaker Crisp. There
was the usual throng present. Most
of those who composed it had seen the
same thing year after year, but all
seemed to find it interesting.
The opening of Congress, to
great many spectators, is like
the meeting of old friends,
for many spend the greater part of
every day in the gallery following the
course of legislation with far more care
than numbers of members themselves.
At one quarter of a minute to ID
Speaker Crisp entered the house and,
walking quickly up the stairs to his
seat, grasped the gavel, and as the
minute hand in the clock opposite hid
the hour hand from view he brought
the gavel down with hack and the
babble of tongues ceased. Another
whack and the members took their
seats. Another, and all was quiet,
Then said the Speaker: "The House
will come to order,' and a moment
later he called on the Rev. DR.. Milburn,
the blind chaplain of Illinois, To offer
prayer. Then there was the roll-call,
In the midst of which messenger from
the Senate announced that a quorum
of that body waS present and that
Senators Hale and German had
been appointed to wait upon the
President with committee from the
House. The roll-caIl showed PA mem
bers present The Speaker recognized
Mr.. Holman, who offered a resolution
that the House was ready tie proceed to
business. 1t was adopted, whereupon
Mr.. Durborow dropped his Sunday
opening resolution in the box and the
Speaker appointed Representatives
Springer, Forney and ONeill COM
mittee to wait upon the President,
with the Senate committee, to an
nOunce that Congress was ready for
business and to receive any message
he might have to communicate. Then
some mem bers-elect were sworn in
to await the return of the committee.
The Senate was like the House OPEN
ing in miniature. The galleries were
just as crowded, but the grave and
reverend seigneurS were only trife
less nnbending. Senator Palmer
looked his sturdy self and Cullom sat
in thought, resembling more strongly
than ever the illustrious Lincoln. The
committees were late in returning, but
when they finally came they an
nOunced that the President would COM
municate with Congress tomorrow at
II uo'ciock. Both houses then ad.
journed.
Immediately after adjournment the
Republican Senators went into caucus.
it was said, TO decide upon a pros am
of the business. To Durborow belongs
the honor of introducing the first Dit
of worlds fair legislation. 1t was q
resolution to repeal the Sunday closing
clause of the worlds fair and it was
promptly referred.

frances President May Call on Radi-
Gals to Form Cabinet.
LONDON, Dec. 5.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Standard utterly dis
believes the rumors that President
Carnot contemplates resigning his
position.
1t is doubtless difficult, but there is
no reason why he should not, if no
other issue is possible, call upon the
radicals to form a cabinet. The only
possible serious danger is that he
should fail to see that the Panama in
VeStigatiOn committee must not be
checked or resisted. 1t is generally
admitted that Editor Herr had nothing
to do with the Panama affairs.
The Times Paris correspondent
comments on the fact that the politi-
cal questions, however important, are
all subordinated to the Panama in
quiry. No legal difficulty, however. is
likely to interfere between the COM
mittee and the government. There
fore, the correspondent thinks, the
Panama investigation should not be
allowed to longer delay the formation
of a cabinet. The committee exceeds
It's duty, but it is steady and interest

Session in the Chair.

President Morton rappei the Senate to
order with his gavel he found himself
surrounded aud saluted by many who
officially were like the Roman gladia-
tors. about to die" He himself is
numb ered among those who will be
missed. Mr.. Morton has made no en-
emies and many friends in the presiding
officer chair. Coming TO the Senate en-
tirely unfamiliar with parliamentary
methods he has taken pains to become d
fairly expert presiding officer, his I'M
rufied serenity of temper and unfailing
courtesy of manner aiding much to
popularize his rule. Immediately in
front of him, in the second row next to
the gangway, sat the veteran Dawes,
of Massachusetts,, still in sound health,
who, after thirtyfour years of con-
tinuOus Congressional service, has
chosen to retire of his own free will.
In d knot in the far corner were
grouped the Senators from the newly
admitted States, Montana, Wyoming,
Washington apd North Dakota. one
each of whom, together with Perkins,
the appointed Senator who fills
Plumb's place from Kansas, and Pad
dock, the energetic pure food"
Senator from Nebraska, finds his fate
trembling in the balance. Near them
was FELTON, of California, who also will
make way for Democrat next March,
and Stewart of Nevada, whose future
political utilization in the changed con-
dition of affairs in his pocket Dor
ough" State is matter of doubt which
he alone can determine.

was completed by the accomplished Sisters
ofSt. Vincent de Paul.
This early piety, SO impressed on her
youth, she retained in after years even

seemed to be left ray of hope to cheer
her path
An invalid for years, she never faltered
