MEASURES OF
IMPORTANCE.
Many Matters at Wide Interest
Slated for Session of Con-
gress Which Begins Today.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Both houses
Of congress convened here today, but
no business was transacted ON the
opening day other than routine.
The proceedings in both houses in
opening the Fifty-ninth session of con
gress were of the most formal charac-
ter. The attention of the house was
officially directed to the fact that four
prominent members of that body
Messrs. Hit, Hoar, Ketcham and Adj
ams-have died since the close of the
last session, and Il motion for an adj
journment out of respect to them inn
mediately followed.
The presidents message will be re-
ceived tomorrow, and both houses Will
probably adjourn for the day us soon
as it is read. 1t is expected that the
nomination of Attorney General Moody
to succeed Justice Brown on the SUI
preme court bench will be among the
first nominations 20 be sent in by the
president.
The senate has on its calendar two
important house bills. the immigration
bill and the Philippine tariff bill. but
there are snags in the pathway of both.
Not IA few members of both houses
are anxious to meet the demands OF
the bankers and Others for Il more
elastic currency, and it is quite GER
tain that there will be efforts to supply
this want. The recommendations of
the president in the interest of Il ma
tional Inheritance tax is awaited with
eager interest by many.
Among the questions slated for Il
liberal share of discussion. the tariff
stands at the head of the list. The
president himself. it is said. desires
some changes. The Japanese question,
the discharge of the negro soldiers,
the desirability of an income tax law.
the result of the late elections and the
trusts are also slated for discussion.
Charles +. Lands Qnd.D, chairman of
the house committee on printing. said
that until otherwise instructed by
congress the committee on printing
will insist that the Congressional Rec
ord be printed without the simplitied
spelling and in the good old way.
1t is said that President Roosevelt
has made several unsuccessful at
tempts to induce Messrs. Cortelyou
and Bliss to restore to the stockholders
money paid by the Big Three insur-
ance companies toward his campaign
fund. The aggregate of their contribu-
lions. made out of the yellow dog"
funds of the companies. was $14S,000.
1t is said that with his special mes
sage on the isthmian canal President
Roosevelt will send to congress about
fifty photographs, showing the actual
conditions existing in the canal zone

HAY
AND LINCOLN
Secretary of State Root HOnors
His Great Predecessor in
High Official Position.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3.-Laudeu
as a diplomat who tempered statecraft
with the Golden Rule, the late John
Hay was honored by the Jewish peo-
pie of this city when Il handsome me-
mortal window to the dead secretary of
state was unveiled at Keneseth Israel
temple.
Attended by Secretary of State Elihu
Root, Oscar Straus, recently named
by President Roosevelt as secretary of
commerce and labor, and Andrew d..
White, ex-minister to Russia and Ger
many, together with six members of
the Hay family, the exercises were
among the most striking ever held in
a Jewish synagogue.
Among the members of the family
Mrs. James Wadsworth of New York,
daughters of the late secretary, and
Clarence Hay. Il son.
Mr.. Root, who made the chief adj
dress. said:
During John Hays later years,
among the familiar White House
scenes of his youth. some incident
would evoke Il memory of his earlier
days. and he would give it to his
friends. clad in the felicitous and
charming expressions Of which he was
Il master.
81 remember that once as we stood
by the door of the old cabinet room he
spoke of the dark and dreadful time
when Lincoln was bearing the burden
and the sorrow of the civil war and
feeling his way among innumerable OBJ
stacles to his great conclusion of the
emancipation of the slave. He told
how the great president often in the
dead of night gained relief from sleep
lessness and restlessness by rising and
seeking the chamber of his young as
sistant private secretary, Mr.. Hay,
and, sitting on the edge of the boys
bed, reading to him aloud some ia
vorite book. AS the story was told by
Mr.. Hay we could see the tall. gaunt
form in white walking down the COR
ridor in which he stood and the rug
ged, careworn face seeking sympathy
in the thoughts which might lift up his
soul above the turmoil of the days of
doubts and distress.
DOUBTLESS the cold words on the
printed page lack power to beat back
the invading throng of troubling
thoughts, and life was given them by
the finely sensitive appreciation in the
noble and ingenious youth.
THE instinct of Lincoln's genius d.
vined Il kindred spirit in his young sec
rotary, and there in the silent watches
of the night and in daily companions
ship vas nodded and inspired the char
acter of our friend.
He has lived a noble life. he has
fought the good fight as Lincoln would
have wished, and through the long Sc.
ries of the passing years the spirit OF
the great emancipation, the strongest
the just, the compassionate, has
wrought nightly in the work of his
great disciple for Justice and mercy
for freedom and peace, for the op
pressed and forsaken of the earth. Sc
in this temple of our God, who haiti
made all men in his image we unvei
10 memorial set up in honor of one who
also gave his life for his country anG

COULD BUILD STEEL
SPANS FOR $40, 900

Charles A. Bloomfield, in discuss
ing the Amboy bridge said that the
reason the county did not get lower
figures for the construction of the
bridge was because it eXacted in its
bond that the steel spans must be
kept in repair for two years. That
provision, he thought, made the
bridge cost almost double.
He said that he had gone among
bridge builders 10 get figures for the
construction of the bridge and that
the American Bridge Company had
told him that they could take the
work for $4,000 without the repair
specification, but that they wouldn't
touch it with that stipulation. They
held that they were not in the bridge
tending, but the bridge building bust
ness.
Mr.. Bloomfield holds that the coun-
ty would have done much better If 1t
had taken it's own risk on the bridge
without compelling the bidders to
take it. Under the bond, if the bridge
is damaged in any way by ice during
the two years following the erection,
then the contractors are responsible
for the repair.-New Brunswick
