Washington (SpeciaD The Sec
ond session of the Fifty-ninth Con-
gress began Monday in lively fashion,
SO far as the Senate was concerned,
and in a somewhat humdrum style
in the House, aside from the anima-
ton connected with the meeting of
members after the six-month vaca-
ton.
The galleries were crowded, and
and hats lent brilliancy to the
scene, but there was lacking that
interest in members who are taking
their seats for the first time that is
manifested at the opening of brand
new Congress.
Crowds Come Early.
The crowds came early, and when
the Speakers gavel fell at IL o'clock
the galleries were damned with gaily
dressed women.
The appearance of Speaker Can
non was the cignal for a hearty
round of applause from both mem
bers and the gallery, which lasted
until he brought the gavel down con-
vening the last session of the Fifty
ninth Congress.
Immediately following the prayer
of the chaplain the roll was called
by States.
No effort was made to transact
business, even in the committee
rooms. The day was given over alb
solutely to receptions and the formal
business of opening the session.
Practically all of the veterans of
the Senate were on hand, most of
them looking hale and hearty as if
their summers rest, followed by a
busy campaign, had agreed with
them One of the familiar faces
most missed was that of Senator AL
lison. He has arranged to remain
at his home at Dubuque, Iowa, until
after the holiday recess, leaving the
work of organization for the younger
members This is the first session in
many years that he has not been
present to take hand in the organ
ization. His friends were delighted
to learn that he had recovered from
his illness of last session and will
be here to take charge of the impor-
tant work at the head of the APP
preparations Committee.
Senator Pettus, the Oldest mem
Der, who was not we'll at the close
of last session, was one of the first
to arrive at the Capitol. He sticks
to his pet phrase of telling his col
leagues how young" he is when
reference is made to his advanced
years.
Vice President Fairbanks fairly
beamed upon the two or three score
of Senators who sought him out in
his room before the Senate opened.

the apparent intention of enforcing
Korea's claim in the dispute between

parliament, the Czech radicals

The Symphony Of Nature.


In all the grand procession Of the
years,
The seasons WITH their changes,
subtle, sweet,
The too brief summer and the win
ter's sleet,
Ny heart has found the chord OF bliss
and tears.
The brightest hours of all my life
were set
In starry eyes, or moonlit summer
nights,
Or in a golden glory dies the day,
delights,
Whose passage left me memory and
regret.
So when the east is flushed with
mornings rose,
Or in a golden dies the day,
The folded leaves of memory un-
close
And bear me with their magic far
away
With signing wind and wave wan
der free
The beauty of the earth gives wings
to me.

THE OPENING SESSION.

Members of both houses, in
Guiding nearly all the veterans,
were on hand early.
The only signs of business were
the reception of nominations,
making changes in the Presi-
dents Cabinet and the offering
of resolutions by Senators Pen

regarding the discharge of the
Twenty-fifth (negro) Infantry
men.
The action of Messrs. Penrose

both resolutions were finally read
and laid over.

all the time during the next two

fine day, however, my uncle insisted
