Among the early prize winners were
Messrs Grosyenor, Rep. Ohio; Bland, Dem,
Missouri Grow, Rep, Pennsylvania, and
McMillin, DEM, Tennessee. Two-thirds
OF the seats were engaged before Mr..
Dingley's name was called. As members
selected their seats, many of their desks
were made the repositories OF artistic
constructions of flowers. While this
scene was being acted, to the great aInuse-
ment OF the galleries, the committee ap-
pointed 10 wait upon the President re-
ported, through Mr.. Payne, Rep, New
York, that the President had sent his
kindly greeting to Congress-" and said
that he would &C nmunicate Immediately
in writing.
The making OF the report followed in
stantly (at 3:1o p. M by the delivery of
the President S message, hut its reading
was withheld until the seating of members
was completed.
Upon the suggestion of Mr. Richard
son, supported by Mr.. Connor, it was agreed
that the Democrats should have the block
of seats on the middle aisle, and Republf-
cans coming at the end must go into the
strip. As result of this Messrs. Henderson,
Hit, McAleer, and Connolly are located
with Mr.. Dockery, and other Democrats. in
the strip" Mr.. Hinrichsen has a seat
far back in the same vicinity.
1t was lucky day for new members,
and Messrs. Cannon, Hopkins, Payne, Evans
and Hepburn got places in the back row.
Mr. BabeOck, who was called almost at
the last, had pre-empted chair in the
center OF the back tier, on the Republican
side.
Messrs Bailey and Richardson got places
near their old seats, as did Jerry SiInp-
son.
The Presidents message was read and
was referred, on motion OF Mr Dingley. to
the Committee on Ways and Means.
Mr.. Dingley then introduced his tariff
bill. which was also referred to the Com
mittee ON Ways and Means
The Speaker announced the appointment
of the Committees on Rules, on Ways and
Means, and on Mileage, as follows:

THE SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
They Were Less Interesting Than
Those in the House.


The extraordinary session OF the Fifty
fifth Congress was opened yesterday by
reading the Presidents proclamation con-
venng it. Sixty-eight Senators answered
to the roll-call.
The main attraction of the day was a {
the other end of the Capitol, and the
audience in the galleries was largely in
the nature of an overflow from the House.
The newness of the Senate was some
what worn off by its special session of last
week but the crowd devoted it's attention
to the nOtabIeS, old and new, who Were in
attendance.
The credentials of the appointed Senator
from Oregon, Henry W. Corbett, were
presented by Senator Mcbride, and on
motion of Senator Gray, were referred 70
the Committee on Privileges and Elections
This was the course previously taken
with the credentials of Mr.. Wood, and
seems to indicate clearly that there viii
be no favorable action. Ex-senator Cor
belts friends are very confident that his
case, if considered, will present features
not offered in the Montana and Washington
cases, which are generally considered As
precedeDts.
Senator W A. Harris, of Kansas. was
sworn in. He was absent during the first
special session.
After the appointment of committees to
notify the President and the House that the
Senate was ready to begin its duties, q
recess was taken until p. m.
At 3:15 the first message of President
Mckinley was read.
The message occupied the undivided at
tention Of the Senators and Of the audi
ence in the galleries, but no demonstration
followed its conclusion.
Then, on motion OF Mr.. Allison, the Senate
at 1925. adjourned until today, at noon.

MENTAL EFFECTS.
A Healing TEST for the Mind.

There are number of ooTnm sTldable
things taught by so-callad mind-nealers.
For instance. Mind is the real being,
the real man, which moves the arms, legs,
eyes, etc, as machines which DO its will. =
Body is made up entirely If what Genes
from the ground and air. y peculiar com
pound of earth and water, delicately and
most deftly arranged, to be sure, but
simple earth and water, nevertheless,
without any force, Intelligence or motion
in it, except as it is acted upon by the
living mind.
There seems TO be two minds to each
body, or two selves; one which runs the
so-called automatic members, stom ach,
heart. bowels, etc, etc, and the other
which conducts the movements Of the
outer members, arms, etc.
1t is a curious psychological fact that
when one is slightly ailing a new line
of thought Will quickly affect the body
favorabIy, and particularly If that mental
trend run somewhat as follows: Il am
not body
MY real self is unseen and is Mind
or Spirit, which is the same as life. Body
being dead material cannot complain to
me. except as l senstize it and permit
the complaints If person can bring
himself to thoroughly believe this, with
out shadow of doubt, 8 most curious and
healing effect is quickly felt in the body.
Many people have not q well enough
trained mind TO command just what it
shall or shall net do, but where the mind
is well in hand, so to speak, the result
of such mental exercise is marked and
cannot be forgotten.
We write the above knowing that it
viii reach the eye of some honest searcher
after some of the new laws which are
lately coming to be known of man, and
to say that while on the subject of health
full living, 1t should not be forgotten that
good nourishing food and drink are neceS-
sary and the unna tural habits arc better
left off than clung to. If the reader has
trouble with coffee and has never used
the food drink, Postum Cereal, it VIII

The Republican members for several days
have been considering how best they could
change the duty on woolens and pottery
from ad valorem to specific so as to make
the bill consistent throughout.
At the final meeting yesterday morning
specific rates Were fixed on some of the
principal manufactures of wool, which will
be enumerated below. In some cases this
change Of basis was found not TO be practi-
cable, but it was made in every instance
wherever possible.
The chemical schedules show changes
from the Mckinley bill and the present law,
as shown by the statement published in
The Times several days ago The changes
in glassW are and metals are in the way or
advances, with no very great addition
upon any one article. A number OF agri-
cultural products are taken from the free
list, as already stated in The Times, and
by this means about one-twentieth of the
total added revenue is to be made up.
The heaviest increases are in jute line and
hemp, and their manufactures, as al
ready published, and in these hemp es-
pecially is given protection. The changes
in the pulp and paper schedule are in
significant in their effect upon the total
revenue The silk duties are little higher
than in the Mckinley bill. Liquors and cot
tons show small variations While the ag-
gregate n the sundries Is large, the list is
so large and varied, that few sharp ad-
vances are made.
