Washington, Dec. 2.-The Ameri-
can Congress is again in session.
Promptly at noon to-day the Senate
and House were called to order in
their respective chambers amid the
scenes of animation and excitement
marking the opening of Congress.
All Washington lays siege to the big
Capitol building on opening days
and to day there was added interest
on account of the present changes
involved and the large influx of new
blood. The crowd came through
drlzzling rain, mist and mud, in con.
veyances, street cars, and in long
lines on foot. pouring through the
entrances, choking the corridors and
elevators and besieging the galleries
far beyond their capacity. But it
was an orderly crowd, and largely
augmented force of officers had little
trouble in preserving order and pre-.
venting confusion.
By 1O:30 O'Clock, an hour and a
half before the time of meeting, the
public galleries in both Houses were
filled and an eager crowd overhowed
into the outer corridors Many
ladies were in the throng, but there
was a noticeable lack of color and
fair weather costumes, which usually
give touch of brightness to the
somber chambers.

1t is fortunate for mankind that
corporations have no souls. If
they had, the space Of hell would
have been so much OvertaXed with
their souls, that all other sinners
would necessarily must have been
admitted to Heaven, thereby
GRO ding out some pure and
righteous souls.
