OPENING DAY OF CONGRESS.


Washington. Nov. 27.--There will be
no flowers in either house on the open
ing day OF congress. Two years ago
soon after Speaker Cannon was sworn
in and an attempt was made to bring
In large floral pieces and place them
upon the desks OF members. the speak
er issued positive orders to stop the
proceeding and the banks Of flowers
remained in the lobbies until they
were sent to the homes Of the mem
bers. A standing resolution Of the
senate was adopted during the last
session Of congress barring flowers
from the senate chamber. Mr.. Can
non has already given notice that he
will not allow the flowers to be
brought in as heretofore. The flower
practice started as tribute to differ
ent senator's and representatives when
they returned to Washington at the
beginning of sessions OF congress. Ri
valry Of admirers Of different men,
bers OF both houses reached a stage
of where half the desks were buried
In flowers and the persons they were
meant to compliment were complete
ly hidden behind the productions of
the florists.

the prison gate, running fight
through the streets OF Jefferson City

seriously wounded.

Almost before the four escaping con-

Then followed one of the most des-
