In its very simplicity was profoundly
impressive.
Without decorations of any kind, not

played officially, as the last words of

his lips the senator from Maine and
Vice President Roosevelt fervently

glanced upward at his Wife, seated in
the executive gallery. She was the

this momentous hour. and to her he
looked for inspiration

beautifully executed.

listened to with utmost attention. The
proclamation of the president calling
the senate into extraordinary session
was then read by the clerk.
AT the conclusion of the reading a
proclamation of the vice president re-
quested new senators to present them
selves at the desk to take the oath of
office. The clerk called the names Of
senators In groups of four. and as they
advanced to the left of the vice presi-

What the English Press Says of the Ircn
and Steel Market.
Washington special: A report re-
United States Consul Fleming, at Edin-
burgh, Scotland. sets forth an alarming
decline in the metal industry of Great
Britain, calls attention to the lament
able lack of thorough education among
British engineers and discusses the
mooted question as to whether the
heavy expectation of coal from Great
Britain should continue.
To describe the difference in the con-
dition of the metal trades at the begin
ming and at the end of last year." says
the consul. would be to contrast enor-
nous activity and practical stagnation.
The depression is attributed in part
to falling prices on metals all along the
line, but chiefly to offers of American
iron and steel at reduced prices, which
the consul states came upon the mar
kets last autumn with crushing effect.
What made the difficulty worse for
British producers, he continues, was
that Germany, having bought largely
from America in the spring and sum-
mer. became alarmed and resold in
England at reduced figures, also plac-
ing iron and steel on the market in
competition with American manufac.

AS Indicative of the general ackno,rl-
edgment of the crisis in the m, lal
trades Consul Fleming quotes am

sions of alarm at the outlook
The press in general. says Mr.. Fler :
ing, blames the manufacturers for nc
adopting labor saving machinery in all
branches of production where it can be
introduced. and blames workmen for
their undisguised hostility to all labor
saving devices.
AS to the lack of practical instruction
IN the industrial arts, the consul states:
1T Is the accepted opinion here that in
the matter of technical education Great
Britain is far behind the United States
ana ., Germany. On this subject also
the consul transmits newspaper arti-
cles eulogizing the liberality of rich
American citizens in foundation and
endowment of institutions for the Sc
qulrement of such an education. and
declaring that this generosity on the
part of wealthy Americans is a potent
factor in the educational development
OF the United States. Consul Fleming
concludes his report with comprehen-
sive review of the fuel question. The
British manufacturer, he says, NAV not
give due weight to the technical advice
and notes of warning which come from
his able instructors in the public
press, but he cannot shut his ewes to
the meaning of $3.50 COAL Mr.. Fleming
points out that all the coal deposits in
Great Britain are known, and there are

for a long time. Nearly one-fourth Of
the output lest year was exported. and
the opinion begins to prevail that this
amount is entirely too great to send
away. in view of the limit which pro-
duction apparently has reached.
