HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Formal Resolutions Adopted at Open.
! ing Session.

Formal Resolutions Adopted at Open
ing Session.
Washington, Dec. 2.-The hall of
representatives presented a brilliant
scene for the opening of the session.
During the recess the chamber had
been redecorated throughout. The
old color scheme of gold and carmine
was preserved, but the fresh colors
served to tighten the general effect.
There was the usual flower display,
although it was, perhaps, not as elab-
crate as upon some similar occasions
in the past.
Shortly after II o'clock the men,
bers began arriving, the greetings ex-
changed seemingly being equally cor
dial, whether they were between
political friends or enemies. The
Democrats, who are returning after
their fifth successive defeat, took the
raillery of the Republicans good natur-
eddy.
Three minutes before the hour of
noon the doors from the rear lobby
swung open and Speaker Henderson
entered. He was Immediately sur
rounded by members and held a re-
rostum until the hands of the clock
met. Then, at II o'clock noon, he as
cended to his place A great out
burst of applause greeted him as he
faced the house and galleries. With
several vigorous whacks of the gavel
the speaker stilled the demonstration
in his honor. In the hush that fol-
lowed the blind chaplain, Rev. Couden,
offered prayer. When he had con-
cluded the speaker directed the clerk
to call the roll. B..
New Members Sworn In.
When the roll call was finished the
members elected during the recess to
fill vacancies caused by death or resig-
nation then appeared before the bar
of the house and took the oath of
office. ...... ....r .. -
Mr.. Tayler CO., created a furry by
offering resolution to investigate the
election of Carter Glass in the Sixth
Virginia district. Mr.. Richardson,
the minority lader, challenged action
upon the resolution, but as Mr.. Tayler
did not ask action upon it but only
that it be referred to the committee
on elections No. 1, it was SO referred
without objection. ,o-H
A resolution was then adopted for
the appointment of committee of
three members to join similar COM
mittee from the senate to wait upon
the president and inform him there
was quorum and that it was ready
to receive any communication he
might desire to make. The speaker
appointed Messrs. Bingham (Pa.),
HIT Gll.) and Richardson (Tenn.). IS
The customary resolutions instruct
ing the clerk to inform the senate that
the house was ready to do business
and fixing the hour of meeting at noon
were adopted Mr.. Brandegee Of Con-
necticut them announced the death of
Mr.. Russell, his predecessor, and pre-
sented the usual formal resolutions OF
regret. These were adopted and, at

were carted away from those places
by the police, but arrests were few.
UP to now a general impression pre-
vailed that Canfield's, which is in the
heart of the fashionable uptown dis
trict, only a few doors from Fifth ave-
nue. and near two celebrated restaur-
ants, was a "Gibraltar" which could
not be taken; and a similar belief pre-
vailed in regard to Burbridge's place.
which was especially protected by
steel doors. This place is in cross
street uptown, only a half block from
Fifth avenue, and few steps from a
celebrated hotel.
Great Public Interest Aroused.
So great was public interest aroused
by news of the raid on Canfield's that
people flocked to the neighborhood
until the intersection of Fifth avenue
and Forty-fourth street, the corner
nearest Canfield's, was blocked with
carriages and people.
After Burbridges the raiders Wis
tied Ludlam's place, otherwise known
there, a colored subordinate employed
dDOuI SdpIdlu
Piper, Inspector Brooks, several as
sistants to the district attorney and
numerous detectives were busy in
Ludlam's place until after 4 a. m.
They blew open sale in the hunt for
evidence.
Earlier in the night District Attor-
ney Jerome made many raids in the
downtown Italian quarter of alleged
disorderly houses. These were pre-
liminaries," as it were, to the two
big events, Canfield's and Burbridge's.
District Attorney Jerome declined
absolutely to make any sort of state
ment after his nights work.
Captain Lantry of the East Fifty
first street station, in whose precinct
the Garfield place has been for years,
declared to the reporters and others
assembled that he had never expected
to live to see such an event as the
raiding of Canfield's.
The gamblers evidently were aware
of the intention to raid their places
and were absent when the officers ap-
peared. All the proprietors escaped
arrest.

Files Written Acceptance Of Ger.
,tst>. many's Claims.
Berlin, Dec. 2.-President Castro of
Venezuela handed, probably on Thurs
day last, to the German minister at
Caracas, a written acceptance of part
of Germany's claims sufficiently COM
prehensive to delay the presentation
of joint ultimatum by Germany and
Great Britain if not rendering it alto
gether unnecessary. It is also under
stood that Great Britain's demands
will be satisfied.
Foreign Secretary Won Richthofen
and the British foreign secretary,
Lord Lansdowne, are now in CORE
spondence over Venezuela's change of
front. This government considers
that peaceful settlement of the ques-
tons in dispute is quite probable and
attributes President Castro's action to
the fact that he has become aware
that the United States would not in
terpose any objection to the forceful
collection of the claims of Great Brit
ain and Germany.

Destructive Fire Wipes Out Cana

Rat Portage, Ont, Dec. 1.-Prac-
tically the entire business portion of
the village of Normal, near here, was
wiped out by fire which started in
the extensive lumber yards there. The
total loss is estimated at 100000, with
an insurance of about one-third of that
amount. The principal sufferers from
the fire are the lumber companies and
saw mills which made up the only in
dustry of the village. twenty-five
million feet of sawn lumber and logs
were destroyed. A number of vessels
lying at the lumber docks were also
destroyed but their value will not ex-
coed $4,000. The fire was checked
after fifteen houses in the residence

stroyed,
