BOSTON MUCH WORKED UP
Over Canada's Refusal for Vessels "a
Take Cattle at Canadian Ports.

Boston, Dec. 1.-Steamship men here
are greatly discouraged because of the
order from the Canadian government that
no vessels clearing from Boston shall be
permitted to load cattle at Canadian
ports. The order has upset plans to have
Boston ships call at either Halifax or
st. John for live stock, and, today. there
was rapid exchange of kilograms with
view to having the order modified.
Z. p. Jameson of the Dominion Line,
who had completed arrangements to send
two steamers. the Englishman and the
Merton. to Halifax for cattle. believes
that those vessels will have to go direct
from Boston to England without live
stock.
The vessels could load at New York.
Baltimore. Philadelphia. Newport News
or any of the Southern ports. but the
cost of sending them to any of these
points. Mr.. Jameson says; would make
cattle carrying Improbable for vessels
which have to take on part of their car
goes at Boston. Halifax Is on the route
to England and the Dominion Line fig
ures that very little would be lost by 60
ing there.
George Bray, agent of The Leyland
Line. said, today, that the steamer Ar
menian OF his company would go from
Boston % Great Britain without cattle,
and after that he says he does not know
what will be done.
The Cunard and Wilson, Furness Lines
are at a standstill until they learn exact
ly what the attitude of the Canadian gov
eminent will be under pressure.
The steamer Corean of the Allan Line.
which was to have taken live stock from
Boston, will sail, tomorrow, for England
without any.
The British consul at this port has ca
bled to London asking for information
about England's embargo on New Eng
land cattle.
Experts of the United States bureau of
animal industry have been arriving at
the bureaus headquarters all day from
every section of the United States, and
by tomorrow II Is expected that between
40 and 50 will have reached here. DIR. Sal
mon, chief of bureau, will probably not
get here until tomorrow or Wednesday
Members of the bureau look upon the
order of the Canadian government for
bidding steamships from Boston to load
cattle at Canadian ports as unnecessary.

57TH CONGRESS.
Brilliant Scenes at Opening Of
. the Short Session.
The Usual Routine Matters and New
Members Sworn in.
The Death Roll Announccd-Adiourn
ment Till Today.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The second
session of the 57th Congress was con-
vened at noon, today. Long before the
gavel fell in the two houses. large
crowds thronged about the doors of the
visitors galleries, seeking admission,
the bright sunny weather bringing the
people out in large numbers to greet
the law makers.
In the lObbies Of both houses men,
bers were exchanging greetings.
Large numbers of representatives also
jOurneyed to the Senate chamber to
shake hands.
AS the hour for opening approached
the crowds in the corridors grew larger
and many We're disappointed as the
capacity of the space allotted to out
siders was claimed early.
Many public officials left the depart
ments to witness the opening and a
considerable number of the diplomatic
corps was present. Notably among
those gathered at the capital were
some of the members-elect who will
take seats next December, or early.
should an extra session be called and
many out-of-town visitors helped to
swell the crowd.
The correspondents We're early on
the scene preparing for the three
months work ahead of them. And
among these were a great many new
faces. To those who have seen Con-
gress opened time and again, the oc-
casion differed but little from any pre-
viOus opening. But to one who at
tended for the first time it was a bril-
liant and impressive scene. With the
old time members it was the beginning
of seasons work and strictly
business affair.
Former Speaker Reed was a visitor
at the Capitol. today. Prior to the hour
for converting he visited among the
members Of the House then among the
senators, receiving hearty greetings.

NO. CHANGE At PORTLAND.
Word from London Board Of Trade
Anxiously Awaited.

Portland, Me-. Dec. There has been
no change in the situation regarding the
expectation of cattle from this port as
far as the United States authorities are
concerned. and the only orders received
by DR.. +. w. Huntington. government in
spector of cattle. are those giving notice
of the quarantine on cattle. sheep anu
other ruminants, and swine in the New

of live stock from the port of Boston. In
neither of these orders was Portland or

The 5attleship Texas, which went out
from the Portsmouth navy yard a few
days ago. returned TO Newport News, Va,
late Friday night, from her trial trip to
the capes in very disabled condition,
having met with a serious accident which
threatened the life of half her crew. AZ
ter trying her speed TO the capes the
guns were put in position and fired, and
it was then that the casualty occurred
For some reason the guns in the turrets
upon discharging broke the recoils and
shattered the foundations. A terrific
shock to the battleship followed. Water
pipes, steam pipes and other apparatus
were crushed, while glycerine mixed with
water flooded the rooms of the turrets
Fortunately no one was hurt, but men
from the ship describe it as a perfect
miracle that half the crew was not killed

NEW CORPORATIONS.

the least important month this year as
regards interpretations in Eastern
states. the total new capitalization of
companies with capital of $1,000. 900

Something out of the ordinary in
connection with last months figures is
the fact that Maine heads the list Of
new interpretations. a position usually
occupied by New Jersey. In the for
mer state the total capitalization was
5000, 900 and in the latter $37 $50, 900.
The aggregate capitalization of COM

during the month with capital less
