II starts in with all the Indications OF a
very earnest Congress There Is deep air of
gravity about 1t that other Congresses have
not had There IL a sense Of responsibility
depicted IN the contracted brows Of the
Consressmen and the absorbed expression
Of thu countenances. Ths punctuality and
attendance Of the members Of the House Is
something remarkable. Early each morn
ing since Monday large proportion OF the
members have been In their seats or as
sembied in groups in the aisles or cloak
rooms perhaps two hours ahead Of the time
of the session The almost universal topic
of discussion Is finance and the situation,

Denver's Unemployed VIII Not Yield
to Foreign Laborers.

Five hundred unemployed residents Of
Denver met in mass meeting yesterday and
resolved that imported foreign labor should
not be allowed on the sewers just contract
ed for in that city. There are three new
sewer districts. and the contracts were
rushed through the city council in order
that the hundreds OF resident citizens who
are out OF work might be given employ
ment.
The contractor has imported 500 italian
laborers to do the unskilled labor which
begins next Monday, hence the above &C
ton was taken.
A committee OF the unemployed visited
the newspaper Offices and announced the
ultfmatum OF the mass meeting. They said
that the meeting was composed of Ameri-
can citizens. residents of Denver. he ma
tortty Of whom had families to support. and
that they would prevent the work being
done by foreign contract labor IL il came TO
bloodshed. They declared that they would
as soon die Of gunshot wounds OF star

1t is hoped that arrangements win be
made that will give the citizens work and
avoid trouble.

The members of this House have their
choice of private secretaries as one of the
perQuisites of their office.
If delicate fingers run aimlessly over the
typewriter keys, and the statesman leans
close to give confidential dictation, it is
no matter. This Is the summer season and
correspondence should be light. The
statesman Is merely enjoying the new priv
ilege of a private secretary.
The ladies' galleries have blossomed out
beautiful and bright with the new session.
The gallery goddesses. In thin summer at
tire, frightened by all the many gay COL
ors that are the fad Of fashion this year,
look like creatures from a midsummer
nights dream. After the session Is over
they linger like PERKS looking down upon
the statesmen sweltering In the pit.
