CONFESS MEETS TO-DAY.
Some of the Many Things Said About the
Session.

| WASHINGTON, December 3.--The roll
| of members-electt to the 53d Congress is
being compiled in the Office of the clerk
| of the House. The work has been done
with care, but until Mr.. Kerr, who is
out of the city, returns and approves of
| it, the roll will not be published. The
| unofficial list shows 217 Democrats, 1928
Republicans and eight Populists, and
| two districts in Rhode Island in which
| elections are to be held and the fifth
district of Michigan, at present repre-
sented by Mr.. Belknap, left bank for
the reason that it is regarded as still
| in doubt.
Senator Hale, of Maine, (Rep.) believes
the Democrats will organize the next
Senate. He says the Republicans will
be foolish to try to hold the organization,
for they would be compelled to rely up
on the support of the Populists, and as
the latter would be sure to desert them
on the first critical issue, the Repubii-
cans would be left in an awkward po-
sition. As the Democrats will be able to
| control legislation, the Senator believes
they should be obliged. to assume the
| full responsibility of organization.
Representative Breckinridge, of Ken
| lucky, is in favor of somewhat of a de-
| parture from the custom in the matter
of the preparation of democratic tariff
revision bill. He thinks it should be
done under the direction of Mr.. Cleve-
land. He said the people had confidence
| in Mr.. Cleveland and he thought Mr..
Cleveland should, with the assistance of
the Cabinet and officials, prepare tariff
bill to be submitted to Congress in lieu
of a mere message Recommendation.
This BILL he says, should be considered
by the committee on ways and means
and such amendments as were agreed on
could be adopted in the House and Sen
ate, and great deal of time and trouble
saved. Mr.. Breckenridge was opposed
to an extra session earlier than next
Autumn.
Senator Palmer of Illinois also op-
posed an extra session.
