CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
OPENING Formalities.

Washington, D. c., Dec. There
, was notable absence of ceremony
connected with the opening of the sec
ond session Of the fifty-seventh con-
gress. The senate was in session ex-
actly fourteen minutes, and yet it did
all that could be expected except to
listen to the presidents message. The
house, which is a much more un-
wieldy body so far as mere formalities
go, adjourned for the day after ses-
! sion of fifty minutes, about tWo-thirds
, Of which was taken up with calling the
roll and swearing in the new members
elected to fill vacancies. Both houses
adjourned out of respect for members
who had died during the recess.
Mr.. Frye assembled the rostrum in
the senate at noon and a hush fell on
the assemblage while Rev. F. J. Pretty
man, who took the place of Rev. DR..
Milburn, pronounced the invocation.
The clerk called the roll and sixty
eight senators responded. The Gus
tomary resolutions were adopted mott
flying the house that the senate was
ready to proceed to business and ap-
pointing committee to join with one
from the house to wait on the presi-
dent and inform him that congress was
assembled. Mr.. Burrows Of Michi-
gan then announced the death of his
colleague, James Mcmillan. He spoke
with great emotion and briefly re-
ferred to the life and services OF the
dead senator. In the house the speak
er took his place on the drop of u, and
was greeted with the usual ripple of
applause He touched his hand to his
waving hair with a gesture familiar
to all his friends, tapped the gavel on
his desk, and called the house to order
with as much self-confdence as if he
had never thought of such a thing as
resigning a place second only in dig
nifty and power to that of the presi-
dent of the United States.
Both during and after the sessions
of the day plans were laid for legisla-
ton that will provoke much discussion.
Antitrust bills in large numbers ap-
peared, but none Of them had the Of
fetal sanction of President Roosevelt
or Attorney General Knox. Frauds in
elections, particularly in the southern
states, where new constitutions have
disfranchised negroes, came in for at
tention. The admission of territories
to statehood was another issue brought
up for settlement.
The tariff question was revived by
O bill offered by Congressman Smith
Of Michigan to place paints, colors,
varnishes, glass and glassware, metals
and manufacturers pulps, paper, books
and coal on the free list.
The hard coal strike became a con-
gressional issue also through Con-
gresham Cannon's resolution asking
an appropriation of $4,000 to defray
the expenses of President Roosevelt's
arbitration commission.
