CONGRESS IS IN SESSION
Precedents Smashed in Senate by In
PRODUCTION of Resolutions and an
Executive Communication

Washington, d. C.-(SpeciaD AT
noon on Monday of this week both
houses of congress were called to
order and the second session of the
Fifty-seventh congress was regularly
in session. Hardly had the chaplain
OF the senate uttered the last word Of
the opening prayer when Senator Pen
rose of Pennsylvania took the floor
and offered resolutions calling upon
the president for all information avail
able as to the discharge of three COM
panies of the Twenty-seventh infan-
try (colored), growing out of rioting
last August at Brownville, Texas.
Vice President Fairbanks, taken by
surprise, mildly offered the suggestion
that it was customary to await word
from the executive at the beginning
of session before proceeding to any
real business. But Senator Penrose
insisted on having his resolution read.
Then up popped Senator Foraker, with
a long resolution on the same subject
which he had intended to keep in his
pocket until formal word for the
wheels to begin turning was given,
but he now proposed as a substitute
for the Penrose resolution.
The Foraker resolution directed the
secretary of war to furnish all facts,
letters, kilograms and statements bear
ing on the negro soldier affair for the
purpose of ascertaining if constitutions
al rights had been violated through an
executive order infiicting punishment.
To cap the climax the president,
without waiting to receive the usual
joint committee notifying him that
congress was ready to receive mes
sages from him, and without official
knowledge that congress actually was
in session. sent in a long list of vaca-
tion and other appointments, includ-
ing the cabinet changes annouced
shortly before electio. 1t was the
first time within the memory of the
oldest senators that a president had
sent nominations to congress in ad.
vance of his regular annual message.
Before the surprise subsidized Sena-
tor Culloms relieved the tension by a
motion to go into executive session,
which emptied the galleries of the
crowd that had bean holding down
seats for hours during the forenoon.
The open session ended so quickly
that the spectators departed much like
an aggregation that had travelled hun
dreds of miles to see championship
pugilistic contest that ended in a
knockout in the first round.
I'VE seem to be started in back
ward" was the comment of a sena-
torial warhorse. "The president has
begun that way and so has the SEN

New York, Aug. 24.-Timothy M.
Healy, member Of parliament for
North Louth. Ireland, who has arrived
here en- route to Chicago, said he be-
lieved that within ten years the land
question would be settled for Ireland.
He declared that a great improve
ment over former conditions had been
brought about by the operations of the
purchase act. Half of the small farm
ers of Wexford had already acquired
provisional title to their land. The
same condition was true in other coun-
ties. When the bond issue authorized
to sustain the purchase act had been
hoated he, expected to see ! tremen-
dous increase in the number of farm
ers owning their own lands. In the
counties neal. the large cities few
farmers had been able to acquire land
because of the high price at. which 1t
is held, but ne hoped to see the time
when the land in all sections should
be owned by the men who actually
titled it. ..,;s
The purchase act, however, had not
helped the Industrial situation, he
thought.
