Washington. D. O., Oct. 9.--After a
four months vacation the supreme
court of the United States convened

accordance with the usual custom, an
adjournment was taken to permit the
members to call upon the President
which they did in a body. The hear
ing of motions and the transaction of
other business was postponed until to-
morrow.
It is probable argument in the Colo

cupies the first place on the docket,
will be postponed until later In the
term. A full array of counsel, repre-
senting both sides OF the controversy
and the government were in the court
room today. Chief Justice Fuller in
formed them that owing to the consti-
tutional questions involving the court
probably will prefer to postpone the
hearing until the vacancy caused by
