HFTY-NlNTH CONGRESS CoNvfNES
The Senate Proceedings Were Brief
The House Was in Session for
More Than Three Hours.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The assem-
bling Yesterday of the members of the
Fifty ninth congress for their first ses-
sion was marked by no unusual Incl
dents, hut 1t attracted to the capitol
crowds of spectators who took lively
interest in the proceedings. The day
was perfect. Society was out in
force and filed the reserved galleries.
In the senate the proceedings were
brief but. most of the spectators
seemed to find quite as much to inter
est them in observing the senators
who remained on the floor after ad-
journment as they could have expert
enced had the session continued
longer.
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
20 minutes. Senators Aldrich Or. I.),
Knox (Pennsylvania), Warner (Mo.)
and Frazier (Tenn.) took the oath of
office and an adjournment was taken
as mark of respect to the late Sena-
tor Plat, of Connecticut.
The house was in session for more
than three hours, and while the pro-
ceedings followed the program that
has marked the opening of congress
for many years there was enough OF
interest to hold an exceptionally large
audience during the entire time.
One noticeable feature was the alb
sence of flowers which heretofore have
been common to both chambers.
The preliminary steps to organiza-
ton 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 members went
through the formality of drawing for
seats.
A committee was appointed to 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 session which lasted
three and half hours, in compliance
with resolutions announcing the death
of Senator Platt, of Connecticut, and
Representative Marsh, of Illinois.

BALFOUR AND HIS CABINET RESIGN
King Edward Accepts designations
and Henry Campbell -Bannerman
viii Form New Cabinet.

London, Dec. 5.-The political crisis
In the United Kingdom reached eli
max yesterday, when Arthur ]. Bal
four, the premier, formally rendered
the designations of himself and the
members of his cabinet to King Ed
ward, who accepted them. His maj
esty has invited Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman to an interview this morn
ing, when he will offer him the mis-
sion of forming a new cabinet. Sir
Henry will accept the task and within
a few days, even within few hours, a
new government will be formed.
1t may stated as certain that Lord
Rosebery will be entirely ignored in
the makeup of the new cabinet and
that John Morley will be one of the
chief advisers of Sir Henry in drawing
up the list of his official family which
will be presented to his majesty.
Mr.. Morley himself is considered
likely to 90 to the Indian office, and 1t
is probable that Herbert Henry AS
quith will be chancellor of the ex-
chequer.

$125, 100000; second, a tripartite agree
ment among the defendant, the Pere
Marquette and the Toledo Railway and
Terminal Co. involving large obliga-
tions for terminals at Toledo and,
third, an agreement to carry $4,000
bonds issued by the Pere Marquette to
cover its purchase of the Chicago, Gin
cinnati e Louisville railway.

creditors were sure to be started
