San Francisco, Dec. 1.-The Chinese are
preparing to make a vigorous fight
against the reenactment of the Geary ex-
clusion law. \ proclamation has been is

quiring every Chinese in the United
States to contribute $40, the sum to be

forced contribution the proclamation adds
that Chinese desiring to return to China
will be compelled to exhibit receipt
showing that they have made the pay
ment, and in default of such receipts they
will be fined $40. The proclamation has
been posted in Chinatown and is to be

The wabash Estimate.

st. Louis, Dec President Joseph
Ramsey, Jr, of the Wabash still insists
that the reports giving the number Of
dead and injured in the wreck near SEN
eca, Mich, are exaggerated. He states
that Superintendent Burns places the
number of dead at q and the several in
jured at II. He says that many of those
reported wounded are only bruised and
scratched and that most of these were
yesterday on their way home
A message from Superintendent Burns
states that eight bodies had been taken
out of the wreck and identified and that
there were charred fragments of bodies
by undertaker's estimate, II
or Is adults and one infant. This report
also stated that Fireman Doud was still
missing.
President Ramsey gave out this list of
identified dead:
James Brown, Buffalo.
Dominica Crebara, no address.
+. n. Dewell, Detroit
Ida Dunhart. Tupperville. Ontario.
Girontono Trinio, no address.
Carlo Trinio. no address.

TRADE REPORT.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade for last week is as follows:
A general advance in the price of pig
iron indicates that record breaking ac-
tivity at furnaces fails to produce &C
cumulation of supplies. Steel mills are
seeking material urgently and Besse-
mer pig for prompt delivery at Pitts
burg is not available below $3.50.
The feature among the minor metals
was the sharp advance in tin to much
the highest point of the year, because
of delayed arrivals. In marked contrast
to the rise in tin was a sharp decline
in silver to the lowest prices since early
in 1898.
The shoe shops in the east are fully
employed, while western producers
were never more extensively engaged.
Recent buying Of cotton goods for Chi
ma has stimulated the export movement
and for the year thus far the value
shows an increase over any precedin g
year. Asia and South America are the
leading customers.
Conditions are even more favorable
at wooden mills, one concern refusing
large order for delivery in February.
Heavy weight goods are active with re-
tailers and jobbers.
Wheat also held firmly, closing the
week &c up above the price a year ago,
which is very satisfactory in view of
the vast increase in yield. Receipts a.
the interior are liberal, $780, ABB bush
els, against 3,391,7S9 last year, but the
gain in foreign buying is still the feat
ure, exports from all parts of the
United States in I've days aggregating
3,975,819 bushels, compared with
2,S39, 070 a year ago.

Important Decision

Washington, Dec. 4.-The United States
supreme court has rendered a decision in
the case of Emil j. Pepke versus the
United States This is the case known as
the IA diamond rings case" and involves
the constitutionality of the imposition
OF customs duties upon merchandise
brought into the United States from the
philippine islands after the exchange of
the peace treaty with Spain. The opin-
ION was handed down by Chief Justice
Fuller.
The opinion was adverse to the claims
OF the government on the ground that the
philippines were at the time the rings
We're brought in American territory; ceas-
ing TO be foreign territory, they became
domestic territory, he said.

In the House.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The very hand
some interior of the hall of representa-
tives added much to the impressiveness
of the general scene at the south end of
the capitol when Alexander Mcdowell of
Pennsylvania called the house of repre-
sentatives to order at noon Monday. The
vast chamber had been reprinted, regild-
ed and completely refurnished during the
recess, and many changes made for the
comfort and convenience both for the
members and the spectators. The floor
has been elevated to a greater angle, the
new mahogany desks rising tier on tier,
making a sort of amphitheater effect,
At the conclusion of the roll call, show
ing 3lS members present, Mr.. Cannon of
Illinois nominated David B. Henderson
of Iowa and Mr.. Hay nominated Mr.
Richardson of Tennessee for speaker. A
roll call for the election then followed.
The vote for speaker was; Henderson
100. Richardson l49, Stark of Nebraska
l. Cummings of New York l.
MIR. Henderson was declared elected and
was escorted to the chair by the other
n.
thanking the house for its expression of
confidence, and asked the support of all
the members
The oath was then administered to him
by Representative Bingham of Pennsyl-
Vanla, THE father of the house." and by
the speaker in turn administered to the
members elect.
When the members had been sworn the
formal resolutions were adopted, and Mr..
Dalzell offered a resolution to adopt the
rules of the Fifty-sixth congress. Mr..
Richardson and Mr.. Hepburn were each
gwen live minutes, and the previous
question was then demanded.
The previous question was ordered-l76
to l43-and roll call was ordered on Mr..
Richardson's motion to send the rules to
the committee on rules. The motion to
recommit was lost-l42 to 1876. The reso.
lution was then adopted.

CONGRESS HAS Convened
THE FIFTY-sEvENTH CONGRESS.
Large Crowds Assembled to Witness
the Reassembling of Lawmakers
New Senator's sworn In-HaIls
We're Decorated With Flowers
Old Rules VIII stand.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The opening of
the first session of the fifty-seventh con-
GEES at noon Monday drew to the CAPT
toll a large throng of spectators eager to
witness the scenes of animation which
mark the annual reassembling of the ma
tonal lawmakers.
Although the actual work of the two
houses was not to begin until II o'clock,
the historic old structure, now refurnish-
ed from end to end, until it shone with
marble, gilt and rich decorations, was
aair long before that hour. 1t was an
ideal day to bring out the public-sunny
and warm with just enough breeze from
the south to lazily stir the flags over the
CAPITOL, some of which were raised for
the first time since the adjournment of
congress, nine months ago. There were
no ntrance restrictions, and the crowds
fowd uninterruptedly into the building.
Man, ladies were in the throng, includ-
ing he wives and families of senators
and members, as we'll as many of the
feminine representatives of the cabinet,
diplomatic and executive circles. Senators
and members began arriving early in the
day, aud there was the usual handshak-
ing among old friends and informal talks
Of the work ahead.
The veteran senator from Iowa, Senator
Allison, was one of the first to reach the
senate md resume his work as chairman
of the Committee on appropriations.
Senate Jones of Arkansas, the demo
cratic leader in the senate, was another
early Arrival, and had a circle of his dem
ocratic frhnds in the cloak room discuss
ing the sessions program.
Speaker Henderson did not reach the
house wing until shortly before the ses-
sion opened, and remained in the private
room of the speaker comforting with
members during the formalities preceding
his reelection as speaker
"a profuson of floral offerings, quite
unusual in quantity, variety and beauty,
transformed the senate chamber into
veritable flower show. Almost every
member of the body was the recipient
of one or more of these evidences of the
regard of his friends and the atmosphere
of the chamber was heavy with the odor
of rare plants and blossoms The display
of chrysanthemums was notably beauti-
full, many of the specimens being of the
choicest varieties.
Dietrich and Willard of Nebraska, Glib
son of Montana and Kittredge of South
Dakota were sworn in as senators.
The senate took a recess until 2 o'clock
to await the organization of the house
and the appointment of its committee to
wait upon the president. Senators Hale
of Maine and Morgan of Alabama were
appointed as the senate committee.
At 2 o'clock the senate reassembled.
Mr.. Gamble announced the death of the
late Senator Kyle and the senate add
journed.

MIXERS naaer. Escnre EnsiIy.

New York. Dec. 1.-The correspondents
of the London Times and the New A'iN
Times SAYS that in order to cope Wlth 'ne
large number of Beers which Keep III
touch with Commandant General Dolh"
east of the line of bloekhouses from "Hse
river to Greylingstad, II British columns
are operating between the Delagoa ana
Natal rivers.
In the western Transvaal the columns
under Lord Methuen, Colonel hekeWlen
and Colonel Hicke are sweeping the coun-
try in conjunction with the forces on the
railway line and the constabulary posts
1t seems, says the correspondent, that
the blockhouses are to form the chief lac
tor in the pacification of the country. Inc
new lines of blockhouses will soon enter
the merchandising district AMI
free it of the enemy.
The concentration of British columns
south of the Delagoa railway have with
drawn the troops north of the line, with
the result that the Beers are back again
in that neighborhood, where horse sick
ness and fever do not prevail and food IS
plentiful.
Lord Kitchener, says the correspondent,
has never had sufficient troops to carry
out comprehensive operations simultan-
eously north and south of the Delagoa
line.
Commenting on the situation in South
Africa the London correspondent of the
Tribune says:
There is more philosophy than faith in
the current discussion of the war. The
monthly reviews contain the commentar-
les from various pens and the various pa
pers have ceased to be a record of what
is going on in South Africa. Sir Charles
Dixie draws an analogy in the Fortnightly
Review between the British operations
against the Beers and the French cam
paign in Mexico, where guerrilla warfare
was suppressed by the abolition of trans
port and the equipment of mobile columns
IF picked men.
Sir Charles bikes article leaves much
lnsaid about the real situation in South
Africa, while the Beers are as unioue IN
guerrilla warfare as they were in defense
n the early stage of the campaign. There
re defects in the British system now, as
hey were then, and these sources of
Leakness help to explain the prolongation
hostilities. Military men get little in
from the papers, but know
lany secrets from the correspondence Of
Ulcers in South Africa and are familiar
18th the talk of returning soldiers. They
ssert that Lord Kitcheners officers do
OF cooperate well with him, nor with one
mother, and that there is constant fric-
ION, with unceasing grumbling and dis
ontent. There is a growing feeling that
ord Kitchener's talents for organizl-
ion, so conspicuous in the Soudan, have
cen source of weakness and dissatis-
action in South Africa.

They VIII Win.

London, Dec. ga dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Pretoria gives indica-
ton why, with continuous captures.
the Boer forces do not seem to dimin-
ish. The dispatch says that Beers are
constantly escaping from the concen-
tration camps and towns to rejoin the
fighting forces and that measures will
have to be taken to stop this leakage.
The Beers in the town are still irrecon-
cilable, says the dispatch, and believe
their cause will Eventually triumph.
Sir Gordon Spriggs, prime minister
of Cape Colony, during the course of
a speech at banquet, said Cape Col.
ony was maintaining in the cape an
army numbering 10000, the bulk of
whom were mounted, and that these
numbers were increasing weekly. 1t
was great strain on the treasury,
said the prime minister, but the col
Ony was prepared to bear it as long as
necessary. The rebels were being
gradually worn down and the prospect
was not discouraging.

Leavenworth, Kan, Dec. IA letter
received at Fort Leavenworth says Gen
eral Chatfee has recommended that Aguin-
aldo be brought to this country. 1t is
stated that he has been detected in carry
ing on reasonable correspondence and
trying to stir up strife. Aguinaldo is a

say Chaffee believes the leaders presence
in the islands is responsible for the insur-

Philadelphia, Dec. Probably the
most distinguished gathering that ever
witnessed football game in this coun-
try, and admittedly the greatest crowd
that ever entered the gates of Franklin
Field, saw " est Point defeat Annapolis
this afternoon by the score of ii TO D.
From the moment that President Roose-
welt and his party entered the great am
phitheater until half an hour after the
timekeeper had blown his whistle an
nouncing the cessation of hostiHties there
was continuous uproar such as probably
never has taken place on any football
field i'll the country. Even the president
and several members of his cabinet. work
ed up to nervous pitch by the game, left
their seats in the private box which had
been set apart for their occupation ana
took positions on the side line benches,
which are usually used for substitute
players and injured. There was not a seat
unoccupied, and hundreds of persons stood
around the field throughout the entire
game.
