CONGRESS IN SESSION.
First Regular Session of the Fifty
Fifth Congress.
IT WAS A GLORIOUS DECEMBER DAY.
Crowds Swarmed the Corridors of the
Capitol, But Comparatively Few
Gained Admisso on to the House
and Senate Galleries.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-At noon the
first regular session of the Fifty-fifth
congress was launched upon the un-
known seas of legislation. Simultane-
ously at both ends of the capitol,
Speaker Reed in the house and Vice
President Hobart in the senate, dropped
their gavels and called to order the re-
side. The ceremonies attending the
opening of a congress, while of compara-
lively routine character, presents d
spectacle which in some respects is re-
garded as the greatest official event of
the year at the national capital.
The weather was propituous. The
sun shOne brilliantly from a cloudless
sky, making a glorious bright Decem-
Der day, with a tinge of frost in the
air to invigorate the lungs and a
breeze just strong enough to keep
the Stars and Stripes snap
ping from the flagstaffs. At
the capitol the crowd swarmed
into the corridors at an early hour, and
choked the marble steps as they
asceuded TO the galleries from which
they were to view the show. As is
usual on such occasions, the reserved
galleries were carefully guarded on
both the house and senate sides, ad
mission being only by card, and the
public had great difficulty in wedging
itself into the limited space set aside
for it.

WASHINGTON, Dec. B.-The senate
chamber at the opening of the session
was a veritable conservatory. The
floral display was unusually rich and
beautiful and the odor of flowers was
heavy in the hall.
The republican members were par
ticularly well remembered with floral
presents. One of the most notable Of
the offerings, both for size and beauty,
was that presented to Mr.. Foraker, of
Ohio, magnificent tree of American
Beauty roses, set in stand of ever
greens and ferns, from the senator's
republican friends of Columbus, o.
Half an hour before the senate con-
vened the public and eXecu tive and re-
served galleries were filled with spec
tators to witness the opening of the
session. The handsome costumes of
the ladies added much to the br ght-
ness of the scene.
Precisely at II o'clock the gavel
of Vice-President Hobart fell, and
the senate was called to order. The
invocation was delivered by Rev. w.
III. Milburn, the blind chaplain. He
made a beautiful and touching refer
awaited news from the bedside of the
mother to whom he is devoted, and
prayed that she might have a peaceful
passage to the celestial shore.
Seventy-seven senator's responded to
their names on the roll call.
The venerable Mr.. Morrill,, of YER
mont, was first recognized by the vice
president. He offered a resolution,
which was passed in the usual form,
that the secretary inform the house
that the senate was in session and
ready to proceed to business.
Mr.. Allison Ia.) presented a resolu
tion that committee of two senator's
be appointed to Join a like committee
from the house to inform the president
that congress was in session and pre-
pared to receive any communication
which he might desire to make to it.
The resolution was passed, and the
vice-president named Senators Allison
and German as the senate committee.
BY resolution of Mr.. Cullom Qu)
the time of daily meetings of the SEN
ute was fixed at Il o'clock noon.
On motion of Mr.. Hale (NIo.) a recess
was then taken until one o'clock.
At 1:3O the senate convened, and the
committee consisting of Mr.. Allison
and Mr.. German reported through the
former. He said the committee, with
like committee of the house, had
waited upon the president and
him that the two
branches of congress were in
session and ready to receive
from him any message he might desire
to present to them.
Mr.. Allison reported that the presi-
dent had informed the committee that
he would Immediately communicate
with congress in writing.
The presidents message was present
ed by Mr.. Pruden, the presidents as
sistant secretary, and was, at 1888, laid
before the senate and read.

House

The hall of representatives presented
an animated appearance long before
the hour of noon arrived. The sur
rounding corridors were filed with
jostling, moving crowds, and before IL
o'clock the encircling galleries which
overlooked the floor were black with
people.
The hall buzzed with the subdued
hum of conversation as the members
exchanged greetings and chatted in
groups. The leaders who were eagerly
pointed out from the galleries were, as
usual, slow in putting in their appear
ance. Statesmen, like ordinary NOR
tails, have an eye for dramatic effects.
Chairman Hit of the foreign affairs
committee and Chairman Walker of
the banking and currency committee,
whose positions will probably bring
them much into the public eye during
the session, were early on the floor
mingling with their colleagues.
The floral tokens for the members
were numerous, and in some instances
imposing.
The representation of a huge gsvel
in red and white carnations stood upon
the speaker'i table,

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
Chattanooga water Rates.

Recently the board of mayor and al
dermen of Chattanooga passed an ordi-
nance intended to regulate the price of
water as served by the city water com
pany. The rate adopted in the ordi-
nance was the average of rates as
charged in Atlanta and Nashville,
which made reduction in the old rate
of about per cent. The ordinance
was to be effective on the November
bills of the water company. Last week
the company fled bill in the United
States court asking for an injunction
against the enforcement of the ordi-
nance on the part of the city until the
court can adjudicate the rights of the
parties and construe the legality of the
city's ordinance. Judge Clark granted
the temporary restraining order, which
was served on Mayor Watkins.

Jesse Bagby, prosperous farmer,
who lives about two miles from Dover,
lies at the point of death as the result
of mysterious poisoning, and his
family, consisting of wife and two
children, are in the same condition. 1t
is now thought that Mr.. Bagby and
children will get well, although this is
not certain, but Mrs. Bagby can not re-
cover, the physicians say. There is no
cause to suspect foul play in the case,
and those who have been casting about
for theory have decided that the
poison was imported in milk which the
family drank by weeds eaten by the
cow. Similar cases have occurred in
that neighborhood before.

The Assessment Battle Is On.

The case of the railroads operating
in Tennessee against the State railroad
commission is on trial in the Federal
court at Chattanooga. The railroads in
this case attack the validity of the COM

tax assessments, and ask for perpetual
injunction restraining the commission
from collecting the taxes assessed. The
cause of the contention is the action of
the railroad commission, given birth at
the last session of the legislature, rails

Fire at BeIIs.

The little city of Bells was visited by
a very disastrous fire last week. The
fire originated in the livery stable of G.

horses burned to death and five wagons
destroyed. The large blacksmith and

tirely destroyed. 1t was evidently the
work of an incendiary. as there had
not been any fire about the stable in
