WMAKERS ASSEMBLE
FIRST SESSION OF THE FIFTY
SEVENTH CONGRESS BE-
GINS WORK.
HENDERSON is RE ELECTED

Programme of the Republican Caucus
Carried Out in the House-After the
Usual Committees Are Appointed the
Upper Body Adiourns in Memory OF
the Late Senator Kyle of South
Dakota.
Washington, Dec. 3.-The opening
day of the first session of the Fifty
seventh congress in the house of repre-
sentatives furnished a spectacle that
delighted the crowded galleries. The
organization of the house was accom-
plished according to time-honored
precedents. Speaker Henderson was
sworn in by General Bingham, "the
father Of the house" and, after deliver
ing very graceful speech in recogni-
ton Of the honor bestowed upon him.
he in turn administered the oath to
the members-elect. The usual COM
mittees were appointed to inform the
president and the senate that the
house was organized and ready to do
business. A committee of three, con-
sisting of Messers. Payne, Bingham
and Richardson, was appointed to join
similar committee of the senate and
wait upon the president and inform
him that congress was ready to re-
celVe any communication that he
might have to make, the rules of the
last house were adopted after a slight
] jar and then the biennial seat draw
Ing occurred. This latter ceremony
was robbed of much of it's interest by
the fact that under the new arrange
ment of seats there are more than
enough to go round, and those whose
names are drawn last do not suffer as
they did on former occasions. The
flower show, which is the great fea-
ture of the opening day, was not as
imposing as usual. More flowers than
ever before were sent to members, but
after the seat drawing the house ad-
Journed before a third of them were
brought into the hall.

PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE.
Adjournment Taken Out of Respect
for Senator KYLE.

Washington, Dec. BIN the senate
both the public and private galleries
were thronged with spectators, every
available inch of standing room being
occupied. Mr.. Kean IN. j. was the
first senator to appear in the cham
Der. He was closely followed by Mr..
Tillman Is. c., Mr.. Hoar (AIass.),
who soon after took his seat and
buried himself in newspaper.
Venerable Senator Vest of Missouri
was in his seat 20 minutes before the
body was called to order. He was
accorded a most cordial reception by
his colleagues. BY noon practically
every senator in the city had appeared
In the chamber. Many of them made
no attempt to reach their seats on &C
count of the wealth of floral offerings,
which fairly filled the desks and aisles.
Precisely at II o'clock Mr.. Frye
(N~sl. president pro TEN. of the SEN
att raped for order.
The blind chaplain of the senate,
Rev. William Milburn, then delivered
the invocation.
Credentials were presented by
Charles H. Dietrich and Joseph H.
Willard of Nebraska, Alfred D. Kit
fridge of South Dakota and Paris Glib
son of Montana. Mr.. Frye admins
tered to them the oath of Office.
Formal resolutions were offered by
Mr.. Cullom Glls.) that the house be
notified that the senate was ready to
proceed to business; by Mr.. Allison,
that the hour of meeting of the senate
be II o'clock noon, and by Mr.. Hale
(Me.) that a committee of two sena-
tors be named to join similar COM
mittee of the house to inform the
president that congress was in session
and prepared to receive any message
he might desire to submit Mr.. Hale
and Mr.. Morgan were named.
The senate then adjourned as a
mark of respect for the late Senator
Kyle Of South Dakota.

OMAHA MIDDLE SETTLED.
Council Grants Northwestern Coveted
PRIVILEGE,

Omaha, Dec. 3.-The trackage trcu-
BILE between the Burlington and North
western roads was probably settled by
the passage by the city council in spe-
cial session of an ordinance authoriz-
ing the Northwestern to build It's
tracks on Eighth street. The ordi-
nance has not yet received the ap-
prevail of the mayor, but it was passed
with but one dissenting vote, which
makes it very probable it will become
law, even if it becomes necessary
to pass it over the mayors veto.

New York, Dec. 3.-The Journal OF
commerce says: Bar silver was quoted
in London Monday at rs 1-16 pence
per ounce. This is the lowest price in
about three years, the highest in that
period having been reached at 80 3-16
pence in 1900. During the past week
the price has sagged off about full
penny. Inquiry among dealers in sill
yer tends to show that the decline in
the price is not due to an increase in
production, but rather to a decrease
in the demand in continental Europe

provision that they be selected under

provision that they be selected under
| the civil service law.
It is important to have this system
obtain at home, but it is even more i'm
portant to have it applied rigidly in our
insular possessions. The importance
of improving the consular service by
the passage of new laws is emphasized.
The president then turns to the In
dian question. He says:
We should now break up the tribal
funds, doing for them what allot-
ment does for the tribal lands = that
is, they should be divided into indiyid-
ual holdings. There will be a transit
ton period during which the funds
will in many cases have to be held in
trust. This is the case also with the
lands. A stop should be put upon the
indiscriminate permission to Indians to
lease their allotments. The effort
should be steadily to make the Indian
work like any other man on his own
ground. The marriage laws of the In
dams should be made the same as tbox
Of the whites. In the schools the edu-
cation should be elementary and large
~ industrial.
Cordial support from congress and
people is asked for the st. Louis expo
sition. The Charleston exposition is
commended to the good will Of the
people. The work Of the Pan-American
exposition is praised
1t is recommended that the census
Office as now constituted should bs
made permanent government bureau.
The Postal Service.
A tribute is paid to the postal service
and the extension of free rural delivery
Is commended. The postofice depart
ment should be sustained, the president
says, in its efforts to remove the abuses
In connection with second class mail
matter.
Much attention is paid to the situa
ton in China, and the progress toward
the establishment of peace there is re-
capitulated. Stress is laid on the i'm
portance of our continuing to advocate
moderation in the dealings with China.
! The president concludes his message as
follows:
The death Of Queen Victoria caused
the people Of the United States deep
and heartfelt sorrow, to which the gov
eminent gave full expression. When
President Mckinley died, our nation in
turn received from every quarter Of the
British empire expressions of grief and
sympathy no less sincere. The death
of the Empress Dowager Frederick of
Germany also aroused the genuine SYM
pathy of the American people, and this
sympathy was cordially reciprocated
by Germany when the president was
assassinated. Indeed, from every quar-
ter Of the civilized world we received
at the time Of the presidents death as
surances of such grief and regard as to
touch the hearts of our people. In the
midst of our affliction we reverently
thank the Almighty that we are at
peace with the nations of mankind,
and we firmly intend that our policy
shall be such as to continue unbroken
these international relations Of mutual
respect and good will.

HoNoRABLY ACQUITTED.
Charges Against Captain TiIIey Are
Not Sustained.

Auckland, N. T., Dec. 3.-The United
States naval court at Tutuila, Samoa,
has honorably acquitted Captain Ben
jamin F. Tilley, the naval governor
of Tutuila, of all the charges against
him. No evidence to sustain these
charges was presented to the court.
Commander Uriel Sobree has sue
ceeded Captain Tilley as naval gov
ernor of Tutuila.
The charges against Captain Tilley
arose from certain allegations made
by missionaries in Samoa against the
captains moral character.

Troubles Ahead Yet.


There are still troubles ahead in the
islands. The instruction has become
an affair Of local banditti and maraud-
ers, who deserve no higher regard
than the brigands of portions of the
old world. Encouragement, direct or
indirect, to these insurrectos stands on
the same footing as encouragement to
hostile Indians in the days when we
still had Indian wars.
The president declares that the time
has come for additional legislation for
the Philippines. He says:
1t is necessary that the congress
should pass laws by which the re-
sources Of the islands can be developed,
so that franchises (for limited terms of
years. can be granted to companies do
ing business in them and every encour-
agement be given to the incoming of
business men of every kind. 1t is ur-
gently necessary to enact suitable laws
dealing with general transportation,
mining, banking, currency, homesteads
and the use and ownership of the lands
and timber. These laws will give free
play to industrial enterprise. and the
commercial development which Will
surely follow will afford to the people
OF the islands the best proofs OF the

the town and boon to travellers II
a few of the public spirited citizens OF
Kendall would put a few men to
work on the road over the ridge,
which Is in bad shape and could be
Travelled In u balloon easier than any
other way.
The mill at the Kendall mines Is In
full operation and handles In the
neighborhood Of seventy tons OF ore
per day. Two OF the big tanks were
full OF ore on Sunday and the third
was being rapidly filed by the
crusher, which is in. operation direct
ly above the tanks.
A 600 foot tunnel only 200 yards
distant from the mill, and running
nearly the whole distance through
rich ore, taps large funnel-shaped
pit where the ore is stopped down
and runs into a chute, from which
the cars are filed and pushed to the
mill.
Ore is In sight everywhere and the
richness OF the property cannot be
realized by one who has never visited
the camp. This fall the present mill,
which was built by III. Il. Kendall,
will be pulled down and large 500
ton mill erected back OF the location
Of the present one, which will be used
for dumping ground.
The surrounding hills are dotted
with prospect holes and prOspectors
are encamped In every gulch. The
boarding house and assay Office stand
on top Of the hill back OF the mill In q
location which Ia extremely pleasant
and from whence fine view OF the
surrounding country can be obtained.
1t is there that Will Polly shot and
wounded Egan while engaged In tax.
ing supplies from the meat house. The
bullet holes can be seen In the side ol
the frame shanty In which the meat
is kept, and from their position there
10 no doubt but that the man was
inside at the time Of the shooting.
A new road Is being laid out from
the top Of the hill, which will be used
In getting In the heavy machinery fol
the new mill. 1t was here that the
representatives OF the ARGUS made q
mistake and tried the "short cut
with the usual result for they lost the
road and landed In a picturesque To-
cality on the west end OF the North
Moccasin. 1t was with much diff.
Guilty that the buggy was taken down
the mountain side, which, although
a very picturesque part OF the coun.
try, is not adapted to easy travelling
In four wheel rig.
By taking advantage OF the ridges
the Horse Shoe Bar ranch was reach
ed by supper time without any ser
ious accident and with much glad
ness OF spirit to the belated travellers
The big ditch. which is being built
by W. Ii. Mason for the Kendall Min
ing Co., is over half completed and In
a short time operations will be com
menced on putting into position the
electric plant, which will supply the
power used In forcing the water
through the pipe line to the mines.
Crops on the Horse Shoe Bar were
badly damaged by the hail stormt
this summer, though not as bad al
