THEWORK OF CONGRESS-
First Meeting Of That Body In the
Twentieth Century.
BUSINESS RESUMED AT ONCE
Army REORGANIZATION Biil, Coming
From the House Practically New
Measure, Laid Before the Sem
ate For Consideration.

Washington, Jan. 3.-At the first ses-
sion of the senate in the twentieth centu-
ry business was resumed without the APP
pearance of break in the continuity Of
the proceedings. The work was taken up
just where it was left off when congress
took a recess for the holidays.
Notwithstanding the fact that the holi-
days had scarcely ended, the attendance
at the opening session was notably large.
President Pro TEN. Frye called the SEN
ate to order. The time just before the
session convened and just after was oc-
cupied by many senators in the exchange
of greetings. That was the only evidence
that there had been recess.
After the transaction of considerable
amount of routine business, resolution
offered by Mr.. Stewart providing that
the committee on mines investigate alle-
cations as to the location of mining
claims by power of attorney was adopted.
At the conclusion of morning business
Mr.. Hawley, chairman of the committee
on military affairs, asked unanimous con
sent that the senate proceed to the con-
sideration Of the army reorganization bill.
No objection being offered, the bill was
laid before the senate.
Mr.. Bacon inquired il it was the pur-
pose of the committee to act upon the
senate amendments in the course Of the
reading of the measure. If so, he would
object to taking up the measure.
After some discussion as to the status
of the bill and the amendments made by
the senate comnittee-the bill having
originated in the senate, been amended
by the house, which offered a substitute
for it, and returned to the senate prac-
tically as new bill--Mr. Pettigrew de-
manded the reading of the measure in
full. The bill was read although Chair
man Hawley appealed to Mr.. Pettigrew
to withdraw his demand.
The shipping subsidy bill has been dis
placed by the army reorganization bill as
the unfinished business Of the senate.
Senator Hansbrough introduced bill
creating adppartment a of education and
giving the head Of the department place
in the presidents cabinet. Speaking of
the object of the bill, Senator Hans,
hrough said that the educational inter-
ests of the country are constantly increas.
ing and that with the addition of the
new territory comprised in Hawaii, Por-
to Rico and the Philippines this interest
would grow rapidly in scope and impor-
tance in the future.
