Poe hontas Galleries Company Breaks
Records for a Single Mine.

Pocahontas, Va, Dec. 4.-The Poca
hontas Galleries Company has agair
eclipsed all previous records one days
output from a single mine. This was
done on the 28th of November, wher
5,210 tons of coal was loaded at the
West Mine tipple, the entire tonnage
being from the West,M at Pocahon-
tas, Va.
The plant of the Pocahontas Collier

Work shows what can be done by good
miners in a good mine. 1t is stated
that large number of miners dug and
loaded over twenty-five tons of coal
each on The date above mentioned, and
the local management of this colliery
has made the statement that within the

ASSEMBLING OF
THE CONGRESS
The First Day Of Piity-Ninth Session
Was Void Of Special Features.
CANNON IS REELECTED SPEAKER.
Minority Leader Williams Makes Speech
Opposing Adoption of RuleS-Senate
AdjOurns After 20 Minutes
CANNON is REELECTED SPEAKEI

Washington, Dec. A. The assembling
today of the members of the Fifty
Ninth Congress for their first session
was marked by no unusual Incidents,
but it attracted to the capitol crowds Of
spectators who took lively interest in
the proceedings. The day was perfect.
The sun shone brightly and the air was
keen. Society was out in force and
filled the reserved galleries, while visit
ors unable to find seats roamed the cor
ridors to catch glimpses Of public men.
In the Senate the proceedings were
brief, but the house was in session for
more than three hours and while the
proceedings followed the program that
has marked the opening of Congress for
many years, there was enough of inter-
est to hold an exceptionally large audi
ence during the entire time.
One noticeable feature was the alb
sence of flowers, which heretofore have
been common to both chambers. This
was due to resolution adopted unani-
mously by the Senate and an edict of
the speaker Of the House, and robbed
the occasion Of much of its picturesque
ness.
Senators Allison and Morgan were
appointed by Vice-President Fairbanks
as committee to notify the President
that Congress was ready to receive any
communication he desired to make.
The Senate was in session only twenty
minutes. Senators Aldrich, Rhode ISL
and; Knox, Pennsylvania; Warner, of
Missouri, and Frazier, of Tennessee,
took the oath of Office and an adjourn
ment was taken as mark of respect to
the late Senator Platt, of Connecticut.
The preliminary steps to organization
were taken by the House. Joseph G.
Cannon, of Illinois, was reelected
speaker; the members of the House
took the oath of office; the officers and
floor employees of the body were re-
elected; the rules of the last Congress
were adopted and the members went
through the formality of drawing for
seats, all of which was enlivened by the
presence Of the crowds in the gallaries
the animation of the reunion Of veteran
members and the interest of new ones.
Ina brief speech against the adoption
of the rules, the minority leader, Mr..
Williams, of Mississippi, touched on the
interest of the country in tariff legisla-
ton, and told of the new Republican
'ideas" which were being "wafted to
Washington on breezes from every part
of the country" These, he said, might
be properly legislated for should the
minority of the majority" stand with
the Democratic members in opposing
the adoption of the old rules.
A committee was appointed 10 act
with the Senate committee in notifying
President Roosevelt that Congress was
ready to transact business the rules
committee and the committee on mile
age were appointed and the House ad-
journed, after a session which lasted
three and half hours, in compliance
with resolutions announcing the death
of Senator Platt, of Connecticut, and
Representative Marsh, of Illinois.

TWO JOBS FOR MAcoON.
Minister to Panama as Well az Gov
ernor Of Canal Zone

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 4. - Presi-
dent Roosevelt yesterday authorized
the announcement that he had ap-
pointed Charles E. Magoon as United
States minister to Panama. Judge
Magoon is at present governor OF the
canal zone and member of the exec
utive committee of the isthmian canal
commission. The determination Of the
president to have the Office of gov.
ernor of the American zone and min.
lister to Panama filed by the same
man was reached soon after the re-
organization of the isthmian canal
commission two or three months ago
Experience has demonstrated that a
conflict of authority was likely to
arise between the governor and the
minister. and in addition confusion
was created among the Panamans,
particularly the officials of the repub.
lie. by the presence of two officers ex-
ercising similar powers.
