IN THE PRESS GALLERY.
Changes in the List of Correspondents
at the Capitol.

Owing to the pending political campaign,
fewer chaiges than usual have been noted
in the list of newspaper correspondents
that will appear in the Congressional d.
rectory upon the meeting of the special
session, November 8. The latest directory
was corrected to March u, 1908, being
prepared for the new Congress. For that
reason the forthcoming directory. which
will be on the desks of senators and repre-
sentatives on the opening Of Congress, Will
have comparatively few changes relating to
the personnel of the two houses.

rectory there have been three deaths of
