WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-The house pre-
sented an animated scene when it was
called to order by Speaker Crisp today.
after the holiday recess. The galleries
were crowded and over half the mem
bers were in their seats. In the diplo-

Mr.. Springer, in charge of the cur

go into committee of the whole for the
further consideration of that bill. Ac
Cordingly the house went into committee,
Mr.. Richardson, (Dem.) of Tennessee, in
the chair, and Mr.. Black, (Dem.) of
Georgia, member of the banking and
currency committee, took the floor In
favor of the bill.
The debate started sluggishly. Mr..
Black denied at the outset that the bank
ing and currency committee had heard
only national bankers while considering
the pending measure and had turned a
deaf ear to all others. He met and par
ried the criticisms and gave an historical
review of the financial doctrines of
Democratic presidents from Jefferson to
Cleveland.
Legislation had not caused all the mis-
fortune under which the people were
suffering, he said. 1t might have con-
tributed to their misfortunes and he be-
Iieved the passage of the present bill
would contribute to their relief, but he
deprecated the feeling abroad in the land

the people, they should turn to congress

But Mr.. Jennings Thinks 1t will be Colder
Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.
Mr.. Jennings of the weather depart
ment, who said yesterday that today
would be fair and pleasant, is a little
nervous about his predictions for tomor-
row.
There is q decided tendency to warmer
weather on the west and south of us,
while north and east and northwest the
temperature is going to be much colder.
By process of estimation known only
to the initiated, Mr. Jennings concludes
it will be little colder tomorrGw, but
won't bet on anything just now.

Colorado, New Mexico and the panhandle

guests of the Commercial hotel,
Monday night. Mr.. Cornell is
making this trip for the purpose
of looking out all probable and
possible routes through the noun

vantages and disadvantages Of
each. He says there are four routes
over the Shenandoah and the one
to be taken will depend on the
amount of encouragement the conf
pany may receive from the people.
and this will be the policy all along
the line. Mr.. Cornell's first move
after reaching Monterey was TO
send an order to Capt. Walker, W o

nv west of here, to move his corps
to Monterey. On Tuesday he. IN

with the result of his work on Al

that it would not take as mucf
money to build the road through

would. This we think is encour
aging. All we have to disconrag
