Desks OF Senators Unusually Well
Adorned With Flowers.
Washington, Dec. 2.-The senate
was in session twelve minutes dur
ing the day. the first day of the ses-
sion, an adjournment until the fol-
lowing day being taken out of respect
to the memory of the late Senator
James Mcmillan, who died during the
recess. Rarely has the historic cham
ber presented such an appearance as
it did during the day. The custom
of placing flowers on the desk of sen.
ators on the opening day of a session
is one which long has been followed.
The display was admittedly the most
magnificent of any that heretofore has
been seen. Many of the senators were
early on the floor and kept busy ex.
changing greetings with old acquaint-
ances.
The galleries were packed to suffo-
cation and hundreds stood outside the
corridors anxious to gain admission.
Among the interested spectators we're
several members of the diplomatic
corps, Senor Quesada, the Cuban min
lister, occupied a conspicuous place
and exhibited much interest in the
proceedings. The absence of Rev.
DR.. Milburn, the blind chaplain, was
particularly noticed. His place was
taken by Rev. E. ]. Prettyman of
Washington. No business was trans
acted beyond passing the customary
resolutions that the senate was ready
to proceed to business and fixing the

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Dec. 2.-In

Charles Hebard was driven on the
rocky shore at Point Mamainse and
soon beaten to pieces by the seas.
Her crew, consisting of thirteen men
and woman cook, have not been
heard from and it is feared all have
perished. The schooner Aloha, one
of the consorts which the Hebard had
in tow, broke away from the steamer

HOUSES ASSEMBLE.
House Tenders Cordial Reception to

ory of Representative Russell of
connecticut-Brief Senate Session.
Washington, Dec. 2-The opening
of the Fifty-seventh congress in the
house was, as usual, spectacular
event. The galleries of the freshly
decorated hall were packed to the
doors with people prominent in socie-
ty and politics and the flower show on
the floor, while not as elaborate as
usual, filled the chamber with per-
fume and added grace and beauty to
the scene. The members were good
natured and jovial and there was no
outcropping of partisan feeling.
Speaker Henderson received cordial
reception as he assumed the gavel,
but beyond this there was no demon
stration. The proceedings were pure.
ly perfunctory. A prayer, the calling
of the roll, the swearing of members
elected to fill vacancies created by
death or resignation during the recess,
the adoption of customary resolutions
to appoint committee to wait upon
the president to inform him and the
senate that the house was open for
business and to fix the hour of meet
ing, summarizes what was done. Then
the death of the late Representative
Charles w. Russell of Connecticut,
which occurred in the early fall, was
announced by his successor, Mr.. Bran
degee. The usual resolution of re-
gret was adopted and the house as a
further mark of respect adjourned un-
til the following day, when the presi-
dents message will be received. The
session lasted less than an hour.

IN FAVOR OF AMERICANS.
Decision Regarding Seizure Of Sealing
vesseIa by Russia.

The Hague, Dec. 1.-Professor AS.
ser, the Dutch jurist who has been ar
bitrating the claims of American seal
ers for the seizure Of their vessels by
the Russian government about ten
years ago, has delivered his award in
favor of the United States He ap-
praises the damages in the case of the
American schooner c. H. White at
$32,444, in the case of the James Ham
ilton Lewis at $2S,588, the Kate and
Anna at $1,4sS and the Cape Horn Pig
con at $38.750.
Professor Asser delivered his judg-
ment in the arbitration court in the
presence of the representatives of the
United States and of Russia and of
others. including the foreign minister
of The Netherlands, DR.. Van Lynden.
In giving his reasons for the award
Professor Asser held that the schooner
G. II. White was seized outside Rus
sian territorial waters and that the
Russian contention that warship of
one nation was entitled to pursue be-
yond the boundaries of it's territorial
seas ship of another nation guilty of
illegal action within those waters was
untenable. The arbitrator declared
that the jurisdiction of the state could
not extend beyond it's territorial waters
except by special treaty.
The other cases are governed by the
same decision.

TRUSTS AND THE TARIFF.
Principal Subjects Discussed in the
Presidents Message.

Washington, Dec. 2.-In his message
to congress, read at todays session,
the president devotes much of the
space to trusts and the tariff. The
message is comparatively brief. being
less than half as long as last years
document
In his opening sentences the presi-
dent refers to the continued prosperity
enjoyed by this country and says that
the events of the last four years have
definitely decided that the United
States has become world power and
must take her place among the ma.
tions of the world.
In discussing trusts the president
reiterates the position taken in his
former message and insists that $50
ciety has the right to regulate the ex-
ercise Of the artificial powers which
it confers upon the owners of prop
erty under the name of corporate
franchises in such a way as to pre-.
vent the misuse of these powers" He
declares our aim should not be to do
away with corporations but to do
away with any evil in them He rec.
ommends the passage of law to at
tain these ends and not to shrink from
duleHuluS Iuo COHSIllullOl, IL ueCeS-
sary to secure the power sought
In discussing the tariff question the
president opposes general tariff re-
vision, declaring it is better to endure
for time slight inconvenience and
inequalities in some schedules than
to upset business by too quick and too
radical changes. He recommends
that the tariff on anthracite coal be re-
moved.
The president recommends the Gre
alton of a department of commerce;
advocates reciprocity with Cuba;
praises the work of the army in the
Philippines; urges the passage of
bill providing for general staff for
the army; recommends continual in.
crease of naval vessels and favors ma.

A Library for Four Dollars.
Best Pictures, Best Fiction, Best History
for Pr.Ce of A Cenutry
Subscription.

Four dollars is small sum with which
to supply family for year with the
best pictures and literature: "The high
water mark of color reproduction" as
Howard Pyle characterizes the exquisite
color reproductions of his paintings in
the December Century; history, current
topics of vital interest, the best verse
and fiction of the day.
The most striking successes of the
Century Magazine have been made in
the field Of history, witness the famous
Century War Papers, Nicolay and Hays
Life of Lincoln, ETC.; and it is to return
TO the field of historical literature this
year. A striking series of illustrated ar
ticles on the early campaigns of the
Revolution, written by Professor Justin
Harvey Smith of Dartmouth college, will
be one of the features, especially cover
ing the picturesque march of Arnold
through the Maine woods. Important
articles on the TRUSTS" will be printed
from time to time-not attacking or de-
Tending, but simply telling the inside
history of the great trusts and how they
are conducted.
Richard Whiteing, the author of that
popular book "No. John Street." is to
write one OF the serials for the Century
in 1903, "The Yellow Van," the story OF
an American "schoolma'am" who mar
ries an English duke. Another serial,
by the author of "Mrs. Wiggs of the
Cabbage Patch" the most popular book
Of the year, will begin to appear in the
December Century. Papers by "Mr.
Dooley," giving his unique Opinions"
on literature; new light on the lives of
Edgar Allen Poe and Sir Walter Scott;
richly illustrated articles on the great
exchanges of the world, and the best
short stories that can be procured from
the leading wrters-all these are coming
in the Century. Beautiful pictures in
coors will appear from time to time.
The pictures are richly worth framing
and place in every home. The read
ing means wide information, culture, and
rich intellectual pleasure from month to
month. The bound volumes should
have permanent place in every libra
ry. Big returns, all this, on the small in.
vestment Of four dollars.

gas in the Luke Fiddler colliery dur
ing the day.
Officials are now conducting investi-
cation, but have not yet ascertained
the cause of the explosion. They are
of the opinion, however, that miner
carelessly opened safety lamp. The
workings are very gaseous and the
body of gas, once ignited, swept with
a roar up the gangway, carrying
death and destruction with it.
Timbers were torn out, mine cars
were blown apart and brattices de-
stroyed. Miners working near the
scene of the accident made rush for
the foot of the shaft and several were
overcome by the after-damp follow
