FIRST SESSION OF CONGRESS
NO UNUSUAL INCIDEATS BUT AB- SENCE OF FLOWERS MARKED.

Hundreds of Handsomely GOwned
 Women Furnish the Only Color
 Scheme-Senate in Session but Twen-
 ty Minutes When It AdjOurns Out of
 Respect for Late OrvlIIe III. Platt-
 Speaker Cannon Re-elected-Laugh
 on Youngest Member of House.
 Washington, Dec. 1.-The assembling to-day of the members of the Fifty ninth congress was marked by no un- usual incidents, but it attracted to the capitol crowds of spectators who took lively interest in the proceedings. The day was perfect. The sun shone bright ly and the air was keen. Society was out in force and filled the reserved gal leries, while visitors unable to find seats roamed the corridors to catch glimpses of public men. In. the senate the proceedings were brief, but most of the spectators seemed to find quite as much interest in observing the senators who remained on the floor after ad- journment, as they could have exper- fenced had the session continued longer.
 The house was in session for more than three hours, and with the pro ceedings followed the programme that has marked the opening of congress for many years, there was enough of inter- est to hold an exceptionally large au- dience during the entire time.
 Ore noticeable feature was the ab- sence of flowers; which heretofore have been common to both chambers. On opening days the display had been so great that this exhibition alone would have been sufficient to draw great crowds and the absence of floral trib- utes, due to g. resolution adopted unani- mously by the senate and to an order of the speaker in the house, robbed the occasion of much of it's picturesqueness.
 The only color scheme given to the chambers to-day was that of the galler- ies where hundreds of handsomely gowned women gave a splendor to the event that made it the beginning of the congressional social season.

BRITISH CABINET OUT;
 ZIMMERMAN SUMMONED
LIBERAL LEADER CALLED BY KING TO FORM NEW MIN
 ISTRY.

BaIfOur's Resignation Handed in Yes
 terday AfternOOn-Entire Programme
 Cut and Dried for Some Time-JOhn
 Morley Will be One of Sir Henry's
 Chief Advisers in Drawing Up New
 Cabinet-LOrd Rosebery Will be
 Completely Ignored.
 London, Dec. 1.-The political crisis in the United Kingdom reached a cli- max this afternoon, when Arthur J. Balfour, the premier, formally ten dered the resignatiOns of himself and the members of his cabinet to King Edward, who accepted them. His ma jesty has invited Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman to an interview tomorrow morning, when he will offer him the mission of forming new cabinet. Sir Henry will accept the task, and within few days even within @ few hours, new government will be formed.
 A brief official announcement was made tonight that the cabinet had re- signed; that the king had accepted the resignation of his ministers and that Sir Henry Campbell Bannrman had been sent for.
 It would now appear that the entire programme has been cut and dried for some time, and it is even probable that the Liberal leader has already compile ted his cabinet, though this, like every thing else in connection with British oficialdom, must be left to surmise.
 It may be stated as certain that Lord Rosebery will be entirely ignored in the make up of the new cabinet and that John Morley will be one of the chief advisors of Sir Henry in drawing up the list of his official family which will be presented to his majesty.
 MT. Morley himself is considered likely to go to the Indian office, and il is probable that Herbert Henry As quith will be chancellor of the exche- quer. The foreign affairs portfolio will go either to Lord Elgin or Sir Edward Grey, though the latter is considered likely to be made Secretary for the col | onies. Aside from these there is a de. gree of uncertainty.
 The meeting of the privy council which was set for to-rnorrow morning has been postponed until a later date It is understood that the king vii | leave town tomorrow afternoon to be the guest at Lord Alington,s house party at Cricket, Wimbourn, but this is still indefinite.

 New York COrOner's Jury Suggests

 New York, Dec. 1.-The action of Co., lumbia university in abolishing football was discussed to-day by Nicholas M. Butler, president of Columbia, in a let ter printed in the college daily paper and addressed to alumni and students. The letter, in part, was as follows:
 ''The action of the committee on stu dent organizations in putting an end to the present game of football at CoIum- bia university has my cordial approval, and I wish to state why that action is in the best interest of the whole uni versity. The game which this commit tee has devised and developed is not a sport, but profession. It can be par ticipated in by only the merest fraction of the student body. The great public flavor with which even the fiercest con- tests are received is not cause for eX- ultation, but rather for profound re- gret.
 We ourselves cannot reform this game, and the experience of years has shown that the rules committee do not desire to reform it. Columbia untver- sfty owes it to its traditions to put an end, so far as action by it can, to this state of affairs. It has done so. We must have the qualities of manliness loyalty and courage built upon a moral foundation, and not allow them to rest upon a purely physical one-for in the last analysis purely physical basis is a purely animal basis.
 "The best judgment of those best qualified to judge is that we have done a dstnct public service in shutting the present game of football and it's con- | mittee on rules out of Columbia uni versity,
 What next? I do not know and cannot predict. Sober reflection will, am confident, bring even the most en- thusiastic follower of football to set that the action taken is the only really effective way to open the door to a truly reformed, instead of tinkered | football"

Moore, of Ogdensburg, N. Y, who was killed while playing halfback for the Union college football eleven during a game against New York university.
