Washington, Dec. 3.-The opening of
the first session of the fifty-seventh con-
gress at noon Monday drew to the capi-
tol large throng of spectators eager to
witness the scenes of animation which
mark the annual reassembling of the ma
tional 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
astir long before that hour. 1t was an
ideal day to bring out the pubic-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 entrance restrictions, and the crowds
flowed uninterruptedly into the building.
Many ladies were in the throng, includ
ing the wives and families of senator's
and members, as well as many of the
feminine representatives of the cabinet,
diplomatic and executive circles. Senators
and members began arriving early in the
day, and 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 and resume his work as chairman
of the committee on appropriations.
Senator Jones of Arkansas, the demo-
cratic leader in the senate, was another
early arrival and had a circle of his dem
ocratic friends 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 profusion 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 displiy
of chrysanthemums was notably beauti-
full, many of the specimens being of the
choicest varieties.
Dietrich and Millard 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 tine 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 ad-
journed.
