LITTLE TIME
 IS TAKEN UP Short Session of House
 and Senate. ! THE GAVELS FALL AT NOON Frye and Cannon Call the Chambers to Order. Deaths of Senators Hoar and Quay Are Announced and Out of Respect to Their Memories Adjournments
 Are Taken.
THE GAVELS FALL AT NOON

Washington, Dec. 5.-With the senate in session thirteen minutes and the House fifty-three minutes, the last session of the Fiftyeigth congress was assembled today. The time of both bodies was devoted entirely to the usual formalities of opening day. There were the greetings between members. the great floral display and the hun Eowned women predominatnng corri- dors. committee rooms and cloak rooms were thronged. The hustle extended even to the floors of the chambers.
 The gravels of Senator Frye. presi- dent pro tempore of the Senate. and Speaker Cannon of the House fell exactly at 12 o'clock. The opening prayers were made by the Chaplains, Rev. Edward Everett Hale, D. D., In the Senate. and Rev. H. N. Couden in the House.
 In both the House and Senate com mfttees were appointed to wait on the president and to inform him that con- gress was ready to receive any com munication he had to send.
 Resolutions of respect to the memory of the late Senator Hoar of Massachu- setts and Senator Quay of Pennsylvania were adopted by both houses and the adjournments were taken in further tribute to the memory.
 The only business outside of the usual first day routine was the adop- tion of a resolution in the House ex- tending until January 5. 1905, the time within which the merchant marine commission may make its report.

REPORT OF PAUL MORTON.
New. Secretary of the Navy wants . More Shfua.

More Ships.
 Washington, Dec. 5.-The first am nual report of Secretary Paul Morton, of the Navy Department. makes more ships. stronger ships and more men its keynote. saying:
 We want such a navy, in size, style and sand that no other navy will ever desire an engagement with us. It Is our greatest exhibit in favor of peace |"
 The report quotes freely from letters and reports written by President Roosevelt while he was Assistant Sec retary of the Navy, especially on the value of battleships and torpedo boats. Relative to appropriations 1t says:
 The naval estimates for the next fiscal year are large, the largest ever submitted. notwithstanding the fact that they have been, cut down from those sent in by its bureau more than $17.000.000. We have asked for less than the money actually required to continue the naval program as laid down by the general board, of which Admiral Dewey Is the head, notwith- standing all who have studied the ques- tion carefully agree that this program should be carried out.
 The past year was an important one in the history of our naval construc- ton. Never before were so many ves- sels launched by this or any other na- tion in one year. Vessel for vessel and type for type. believe our new ships will compare favorably with those of any navy afioat, and every American should be proud of the progress and character of work now being accomp- lished, not only in construction but in all branches of the service.
 New ships necessarily require more officers. more marines, and more en- listed men. and the appropriations are quite likely to increase steadily for some years to come"

NAN PATTERSON AGAIN ON TRIAL.
Former show Girl Arraigned Before =. New York Court.

Former Show Girl ArratEned Before .. New York Court.
 New York. Dec. 5.-For the second time Nan Patterson. the former show girl, today prepared to face a jury which is expected to decide whether she is guilty or innocent of causing the death of Caesar Young, the bookmaker.
 Contrary to the usual order of things, 1t Is expected that the present trial will attract even more widespread interest than did the first Compara lively little of the evidence which the prosecution claims it had was presented when the previous trial was brought to an abrupt termination by the serious illness of a juror. The defense had not even shown it's hand. The case had scarcely passed the preliminary Not one of the several persons fre- quently spoken of as star witnesses' had been called to the stand.
 Only 100 'talesmen were called when preparations for selecting the first jury were made and many of those had net, been examined when the panel was completed. This time. however. in view of the added publicity given the case 1t was thought more trouble would be exprienced in filling the jury box and a special panel of 200 talesmen had been summoned.
 During the past week Miss Patterson, weakened by the strain of the trial, had been i'll in her cell at the Tombs prison. but she had recovered sufficient ly to permit her to go to court today Three jurors were secured today

MRS. CHADWICK WATCHED.
Central Figure of Gigantic Fraud stilI
 in New York.

NCW
 New York, Dec. 5.-Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick, whose financial dificulties have caused widespread interest. Is at the Holland House tonight. At the hotel are at least three officers of the United States secret service and they have been particularly alert for the past twenty-four hours. A gentleman closely connected with the case says there is a strong possibility of another arrest.
 Counsel Carpenter. for Mrs. Chad wick in New York, was seen at the Waldorf Astoria by representative of the Associated Press. When asked concerning the probability of the ar- rest of his client he declined to talk. but said:
 Mrs. Chadwick Is absolutely inno- cent of any intent at wrong. She has done nothing to warrant legal proceed ings and she cannot be convicted of wrong doing"
 When asked about that portion of Section 5209 of the United States Re- vised Statutes which provides for the punishment of any person who aids or abets a national bank official In the performance of any act which is iIle- gal. MT. Carpenter said that whatever transactions Mrs. Chadwick had had with bank officials were strictly of business nature. She had borrowed money, as any person would do, and had not interested herelf in the capital ization of the bank in question. The lawyer was asked what might be the result if 1t could be shown that vio- lation of the statute which makes it a crime for a person borrowing money from a bank to make state ment concerning her assets or ability to meet the obligation which was knowingly untrue, MT. Carpenter reiterated his statement that Mrs Chadwick was absolutely innocent of any wrong and that she had done nothing of which she. had any reason to fear.
 Mr. Carpenter continued: "The re. ports that Mrs. Chadwick intends leav- ing New York surreptitiously are made out of which cloth. Mrs. Chadwick is a bona fide resident of New York.
 Mrs. Chadwick. who had been i'll for the past two days. has quite regained her usual spirits and tonight dined in her apartments. pr. A A. Moore, who has been in attendance upon her. did not call today and to a reporter said his patient had recovered her usual health.
 Andrew Carnegie was shown this af- ternoon a copy of today's despatch from Cleveland in which district at torney Sullivan of that city is quoted as saying that he had recently in his possession a note for $250,O00 signed with MT. Carnegie's name and endorsed on the back e. l.. Chadwick" His secretary gave out this statement for MT. Carnegie:
 MT. Carnegie says 1t is years since he has given a note of any kind, or has endorsed any note. He says that there are no notes in his name out- standing at present"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-12-06

The secretary further said that lfr., Carnegie had no knowledge of Mrs. Chadwick. ..
 When the attention of Philip Car penter was called to the dispatch That notes purporting to have been signed by Andrew Carnegie had been found by United States bank examiners. he dis- claimed all knowledge of such notes, and added: Mrs. Chadwick has not only denied that she is a relative of Mir. Carnegie, but has also denied that she has ever received any financial as- sistance from him."
 MT. Carpenter was told of the state- ment made by President Beckwith of the defunct Citizens National Bank of Oberlin tonight, in which he stated that the bank held Mrs. Chadwick's notes to the amount of $1,250,o0o. In reply, he stated that he had no knowl- edge of any of Mrs. Chadwicks Ohio transactions, and referred the ques- tioner to her Ohio counsel

 of the Millionaire.

OH NmG AAhlAU4&HGs Cleveland, O., Dec. 5.-There were numerous new angles developed today in connection with the affairs of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick and the troubles or the closed Citizens National Bank or Oberlin. Ohio.
 President c. T. Beckwith and Cashier Frank Spear of the latter institution were brought here from Oberlin by United States Marshal Chandler and deputy shortly before noon. The bank officials were later arraigned before limited States Commissioner Starke. Both pleaded not guilty and waived preliminary hearing. Commissioner Starek fixed the bail at $1o.0o0 in each case and bound the two men over to the grand jury which meets in Februa- ry next.
 Spear was shortly afterward released on a bond signed by M. A. Londer, ex- county treasurer. Late this evening President Beckwith secured bondsmen in the persons of J. w. Coles, A. w. Gilchrist and George A. Collins and the aged banker was given his freedom
 That the Oberlin bank or President Beckwith really possessed notes for s250, ,o00 and $5o0.000 respectively with the name of Andrew Carnegie signed to, them Is now known as a definite fact. whether those notes are forgeries is vet to be shown. This is stated on the authority of United States District Att torney Sullivan and a very prominent banker of Cleveland. District Attoe-
