Its two principal Cfficers-Mr. Cox, the new secretary, and Mir. Bright, the new sergeant at arms-also represented the changed political complexion of the body.
 The first business in order after the sen ate was called to order was to administer the oath of office to three senators and MT. Cox, the new secretary of the senate. The senators who took the oath are Mir. Per kins. who succeeds Senator Stanford; MT. Pasco of Florida, who has been reelected efter serving ad interim under a guberna- torial appointment and MT. Quay of Penn sylvania, who was not present during the last extra session and so has not yet quail fled. As soon as notice was received from the house that it was organized a com mittee was appointed to wait upon the president and notify him that congress was ready to receive any communication he might care to make.
 This calle.l forth the message explaining the presidents reasons for converting con gress in special session and suggesting legislation to cure the ills from which the country is suffering.
 The House Coavenes.
 The house was called to order by Clerk Kerr, who had been selected by caucus of his party for reelection. but who would nevertheless have performed that duty under the law as the holding over clerk of the last house, even if he had not been chosen for reelection. When he called the roll he looked upon nearly 100 new and untried men. Many familiar faces were absent.
 The usual resolution notifying the sen- ate that it had been organized and was ready for business was then sent to that body. and three members on the part of the house were named to act us joint committee to wait upon the president. This afternoon will probably be occupied in the biennial drawing or seats.
 The history which he extraordinary ses- sion will make Tor itself will probably justify that title in more senses than one. Convened for single specific object-the repeal or modification of what is popularly known as the Sherman act-it will not be restricted to that bare programme, but will have in connection with 1t to legislate on the whole subject of finance, including probably thorough revision of the tariff. Those two subjects, distinct and yet connected, will supply material enough to occupy the attention of congress for many months to come.
