poses, said:

every effort Will be turned toward the
success of. this exposition. We shall ask
the help of this city. OF the State and of
the country at large in this enterprise.
once we find out the Governors ideas
on the subject, there will probably be
perfected Immediately plans for the fur

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. Mot in
MANY wears have the members OF The
House listened with such rapt attention
to the annual message OF. d PRESIDENT
OF the United States, as they did to-day
to the reading of the first message OF
President Roosevelt With the most in
tense interest, every word was followed
from tho announcement Of the tragic
death of President Mckinley, in the
opening sentence, to the expression OF
the closing wish that our relations with
the world would continue peacelii The
reading occupied two hours, but not
over a dozen members left their seats
when it was concluded.
Several times there was applause and
at the conclusion there was an enthusi-
astic demonstration on the Republican
side.
On motion of Mr.. Grosvenor. of Ohio,
that portion of the message relating to
the death OF the late President, was re-
ferred to a committee, to consist of a
me mbcr from each State to join a SINH
lar committee to consider and report
what token of respect and affection it
may be proper for Congress to express
the deep seEsibility of the nation to the
