CONGRESS OPENS
BUT AosouRNs UNTIL NEXT DAY
Tribute to the Memory Of the Late SEN
ators hoar and ouay.-Great
Floral Display.

washington, Dec. 6.-With the Sen
ate In session thirteen minutes and the
House fifty-three minutes, the last ses-
sion OF the Fifty-eighth Congress was
assembled yesterday. 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
dreds Of visitors, with beautifully
gowned women predominating. Corri-
dors. committee rooms and cloak
rooms were thronged. The hustle ex-
tended even to the floors of the cham.
bers.
dent pro TEN. of the Senate, and
Speaker Cannon Of the House, fell ex.
actly at 12 O'Clock.
In each house committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon the President and
inform him that Congress was ready to
receive any communication. Resolu'
tions Of respect to the memory OF the
late Senators Hoar OF Massachusetts,
and Quay of Pennsylvania were
adopted and the adjournments taken
were in further tribute to their mem
ory.
The only business outside Of the
usual first day routine was the adop
tion of resolution in the House ex
tending the time within which the
merchant marine commission may
make its report.
When Senator Fairbanks, vice presi
dent elect, entered the chamber, he
was greeted warmly by many OF his
colleagues. The visitors applauded his
entrance with cheers and handicap
ping, :,
In his private room for some time
before the House met, Speaker Can
non held an informal reception to "the
boys" as he is wont to call his assist
ants in the House. Without distinction
as to party, the members dropped In
to pay their respects, and for each he
had pleasant word.
The floral tribute was beautiful In
the extreme. There was hardly desk

George washington University.

There is something especially fitting
in an appeal by name to a spirit of
National pride in the change of the
name Of the Columbian University to
the George Washington University,
change that has been decided upon
after mature elaboration by those
charged with the conduct of that in
stitution. The Columbian University
has had an honored and useful career
and has done splendid work, which
will have a marked influence In shap-
ing the future of the George Washing
ton University, which, with its change
of name, enters into a larger field with
the hope and prospect of becoming a
great National school, as planned by
the first President, to make realization
upon the facilities offered at the Ma
tional capital for higher education.
Washington has long been recognized
as the ideal location for university
that shall not be hampered in its scope
of usefulness either by lack of finances
or facilities for the pursuit of study
and investigation in any Geld of mental
endeavor. 1t is the hope and purpose
of those connected with the George
washington University to meet this
requirement to the fullest possible ex.
tent. The proposition will doubtless
appeal to the promoters of educationa.
advancement in a way that will com
mand their services and their financial
support to the realization of the most
sanguine hopes of the university
founders Washington Post

The British House Of commons.

The fallacy that the House Of Com
mons is the best club in London is
probably exploded by this time. 1t
would be difficult to- imagine any
place much less like a club. No self
respecting club would endure the
members smoking room for a week.
In the winter, unless there is any
thing of particular interest on in the
House, 1t is too crowded for members
10 be able to find seats. In the sum-
mer it is insufferably hot and stuffy,
and all the year round it is unwhole-
somely draughty. No club would stand
the food which is served to members
Of the House of Commons. Still less
would any club stand the House OF
Commons walters. The permanent
servants are excellent, courteous, civil
and obliging, But the large number
of members who have to lunch and
dine at the House very frequently rem
ders 1t impossible to keep enough
good permanent servants to attend to
every one, and the results are, to say
the least, uncomfortable.
Perhaps nothing will leave deeper
impression on the mind of the mem
Der when he has finally retired from
the House of Commons than the dead
ly dizziness of the place. II members
would consent to speak only when
they had something to say, If they
would remember that what may seem
of great interest to themselves is SIM
ply a hore to every one else, and If
they would content themselves with
saying what they have got to say in a
few clear words as possible, life in the
House of Commons would be less dull
and far more work would be got
through In far less time.
Nothing shows the extreme dizziness
of the House of Commons more plain
~ than the way in which members
roar with, laughter at some trivial
Joke or incident in the House which
would not raise a smile outside.-A
Retiring Member in the National Re-
viAw

Then 1t dawned upon her that It was

out In her name. Maud would never
tell her sisters what she did at that
moment, but when she came home and
told them about it they all declared
that Mr.. Foster was dear"
Don't you think it would be better

II would be greatly honored IL you

And so 1t became the custom for the
old bachelor and the maiden aunt to
walk out every day together. But az
ter year of this Miss Sarah told him
one day that she was going away for

filed with CONSERVATION at this, and

earnestly and eloquently that she
finally promised to stay away only two

That was the longest walk they had

Gold in The Transvaal.

During the FIRST four months of 1904
the Transvaal mined 1,192,514 ounces
of gold, worth s24,651,1 43. During a
corresponding period in 1903 the out
put was 31.12S ounces, worth ST.
1882. The total product of gold
in 1908 was worth SCI, 265,670. If the
rate of production Of the first four
months of 1904 is maintained, the
Transvaal will yield in 1904 at least
$77,864,O00 worth Of the yellow metal
in other words, as much as In the
years just preceding the Boer War.
The Introduction of Chinese labor is
expected to put the colony in a posi-
ton to maintain the production fig
ures. of previous years. English en-
thusiasts are locking for future out
put in the Transvaal Of s120, 100000 to-
$50. 100000 year.
What such a production must mean
to the worlds workshops ia hard to
realize 1t will mean a vast increase
in South Africa's purchases of dyna-
mite, explosives, steel, quicksilver. cy-
anide. zinc, electric and other pumps,
steel hammers, stone-boring machines.
pipes, etc. Foods will be wanted in
vast quantities. 1t will take year
or two to get the increasing ratio on
a reasonable basis. What the effect
is to be on the stock Of the South
African companies can hardly be ar
rived at by means of the information
at hand, and no very great optimism
ought to be INDUCED in The stable.
concerns are now high above par, and
the others may never reach par, even
with increased production.

A Raw Recruit.

Major General Henry C. Corbin,
who is to succeed General Taft in the
Philippines, was reared on a farm in
Ohio, and takes a great interest in
recruits, particularly if they be from
his own State: -.
They are amusing. and pathetic.
the raw recruits from the farms and
villages of the West" said General
Corbin recently. And they make in
the end the best soldiers the world.
But at first they are too ingenu-
GUS. too boyish. too naive. For in
stance
IAN Ohio lad was doing his first
sentry duty. To and fro he paced.
The landscape was fertile and lonely
and quet, and the young recruit, as
he regarded the green fields. fell into
q reverie. His pleasant inland home
rose up before him. He thought of
his father and mother, his school days
and his sweetheart
I'm the midst of his dream the ma
jor passed, and the youth forgot to
salute.
Instantly the major turned ON. him.
Don't you know who I am, sir? p
he said in a terrible voice.
mo said the recruit, softly. and,
thinking it was friend from home
some friend of his family-he asked
in a gentle voice:
"'Do you know me?'"
