CONGRESS At WORK
lawmaking Body Organizes
and Gets to Work
WILLIAMS DEMOCRATIC LEADER
Speaker Cannon is Reelected and
Rules Of Last Congress Are Adopt
ed After Humorous Speech in OPP
position by MIR. Williams.

| Washington, Special--Congress con
vened with little Of the pomp anc
circumstance Of other days. The
presence of SO much fuss and flowers
conficted with the idea Of the eternal
fitness of things entertained by the
elder statesmen. Hence, the formal
ity Of the opening session has become
a somewhat less spectacular affair.
However, much fine raiment in the
galleries relieved the sombre aspect of
the floor, where flowers were bare,
and the event proved as interesting in
many respects as of-yore.
The following caucus nominations
were elected:
Clerk-Alexander Mcdowell, Penn
sylvania.
Sergeant-at-Arms-Henry Cassoin,
Wisconsin.
Doorkeeper-F. B. Lyon, New York.
Postmaster-Joseph C. McElroy,
Ohio.
Chaplain-Rev. Henry N, Couden,
Michigan.
The rules of the Fifty-eighth Con-
gress, including the standing orders
relating to the consideration of pen
sion and claim bills on Fridays, on
motion of MIR. Dalzell, Of Pennsyl-
vania, were ordered continued during
the Fifty-ninth Congress. This reso-
luton will be offered by Mr.. Dalzell,
when the House is organized next
Monday.
Several New Senators Sworn In.
Washington, Special-In the Senate
Monday several new Senators were
sworn in, including Mr.. Frablcr, of
Tennessee. The credentials of Sena-
tor Taliaferro, of Florida, were pre-
,ented by Senator Mallory. Sena-
tors Allison and Morgan were appoint
ed as committee to wait upon the
President, together with similar
committee from the house.

But if he~is innocent, who has done
it?''
"Ah! who? 1 would call your atten-
ton very particularly to two points.
One is that the murdered man had
an appointment with some one at the
Pool, and that the some one could not
have been his son, for his son was
away. and he did not know when he
would return. The second is
that the murdered man was
heard to cry 'Cooee' before
he knew that his son had re-
turned. Those are the crucial points
upon which the case depends. And
now let us talk about George Mere
dith, if you please, and we shall leave

Really Does ii not strike you as
a little singular that this Mccarthy,
who appears to have had little of his

legations TO Turner, should still talk
of marrying his son to Turner
daughter who is presumably, heiress
to the estate, and that in such a very
cocksure manner, as if it were merely
a case of q proposal and all else would
follow? 1t is the more strange, since
we know that Turner himself was
averse to the idea. The daughter
told us as much. Do you not deduce
something from that?'
