(FRoM OUR REGULAR CoRREsPoNDENT)
Monday, December l, 1902
Precisely at noon today the gavels OF
President pro tenn, Frye in the Senate
and Of Speaker Henderson in the House
of Representatives fell and so iuaugur-
ated the second and last session of the
Fifty-seventh Congress. While there
were cordial congratulations, hosts OF
fair women in the galleries, and an a.
brndance of flowers in the chambers
and Hobbies, there was also a note OF
sadness observable. In the Senate the
handsome mahogany desk of Senator
Mcmillan was draped and laden with
flowers and in The House the desk form
erly occupied by Representative Russell
of Connecticut and those Of Representa-.
tives de Graffeneid and Sheppard OF
Texas were similarly treated.

The first business which will occupy
the attention Of The Senrte will be the
report of the Territorial committee
which is to be made on the 3rd. Sena
tor Beverage, when seen today, said
that it would be imp; cper for him to
indicate through tie columns of the
press the tenor Of his report, but it is
regarded as most likely that it will not
be favorable to the admission of the
three Territories which are applicants
for statehood. 1t is regarded as reason
ably certain that Oklahoma would re-
turn two republican Senators, and three
republican votes in the electoral coll
eye, so that the sentiment in favor of
admitting the latter is strong and many
there are who would like to see Okla
homa alone admitted. On the other
hand, the democrats are unanimously in
favor OF admitting all three Territories
and, as it was the unanimity with
which the democrats supported the bill
in the House that secured It's passage
through that chamber, it is regarded as
doubtful il the friends of the territories
will consent to discrimination.

There is unfortunately 40 encourag-
ing news in regard to the Columbian
treaty and the friends of the Ncara-
guam route for the Isthmian canal are
urging its claims with renewed energy.
In view of the fact that practically no
work has been done on the Nicaraguan
route, and that, therefore, the estimates
of the engineers on a canal built by that
route are far more liable to revision
than is the case with the Panama route
on which numerous expensive expert
ments haye been conducted by the
French engineers and on which two
ffths of the work is already completed,
the President is loathe to abandon the
latter and Secretary Hay still hopes to
effect an arrangement which will prove
satisfactory to his own and to the Co
lumbar government.

Health is a magnet which irresistibly
