Opening More Of a Social Than
Business Affair.
CANNON CHOSEN SPEAKER
Illinois Man Will Again Preside Over
Lower Branch-Old Rules to
Govern New Body.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The meeting
of the Sixtieth congress resembled a
social function rather than the gather
ing for the transaction of important
business of the country. So great was
the demand for an opportunity to see
the national legislature started in it's
work that the galleries of the house
were reserved for the families and
friends of members, with very few
places left for the general public un-
provided with tickets. In the senate
the same condition prevailed except
that larger space was kept for those
who came without tickets.
The striking scenes were in the
house of representatives, where the
formal selection Of Joseph G. Cannon
to again be speaker of that body and
the designation by the Democrats of
Mr.. John Sharp Williams as their
leader, were occasions for Ovations for
those gentlemen. The vast hall of
the house of representative rang with
the cheers Of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis for their leaders, and the speak
'er received as warm a reception from
the members of the minority as he did
from his own party. The appearance
Of Hon. William Jennings Bryan on
the floor of the house also was the
occasion for enthusiastic cheering by
the Democrats.
When the adoption of rules Of the
government of the house during the
SiXtieth congress came up the rules
of the last congress were opposed by
John Sharp Williams and he was
Joined in the opposition by Democrats
and by single Republican, Mr.. Coop
er of Wisconsin, The old rules were
declared to be too autocratic, placing
too much power in the hands Of the
speaker, but after somewhat acrim-
onious discussion they were adopted
by a party vote.
Committees were appointed by both
houses to inform the president that
congress had met and was ready
to receive any message he might wish
to communicate.
New senators and representatives
were sworn in, and both houses ad-
journed out of respect to the memory
Of members who have died during the
recess of congress.

YOUNG CASE ARGUED.
Comes Up Before United States
Supreme Court.
IMPORTANT P0II:T INVOLVED
Thomas D. O'Brien of Minne~ota and
Attorney General Had'ey of MIS-
souri, Appear for Plaintiff.

The case of Attorney General Ed
ward T. Young of Minnesota, involv-
hg a fine of 500 on the charge OF
contempt of court, was argued IN
the sunreme court of the United
States at Washington. The case deals
with the rights Of states to prescribe
railroad rates and the Importance OF
the matter was indicated by the effort
to intervene which was made In be-
half of the corporations doing bust
ness in other parts of the country,
which involve the same questions.
The case against Mr.. Young grew out
OF an effort by the Northern Pacific
Railway company to prevent Young
as attorney general from enforcing
the state law of 1907. The United
States court for the district Of Mime
sofa, Judge Lochren presiding, grant
ed a temporary injunction in accord
ance with the prayer Of the railroad
company, but notwithstanding this
order Mr.. Young instituted proceed
ings In the state circuit court for
Ramsey county asking for writ Of
mandamus compelling the railroad
company to comply with the law. He
was promptly summoned before Judge
Lochren, who imposed a fine for con-
tempt.
Attorney General Sought Relief.
The attorney general sought relief
by applying in an original action to
the supreme court for writ of habeas
corpus on the ground that the Mime
sofa federal court was without Eris-
diction.
The case involves the constitutional
question whether an action like this
is not a suit against a state, which is
prohibited by the eleventh amendment
to the Constitution. So important is
the case that Attorney Hines sought
on behalf of the Southern Railway
company to file a brief in the case
cision on this point on the various
rate controversies of that company,
and similar request was made in the
case of the Consolidated Gas company
of New York, involving the S0-cent
law, by Former Assistant ATTORNEY
General Whitney, who appeared for
the House Service Corporation Of New
York Former Assistant General
Beck made a nrotcst in the litter pro-
ceeding, contondine that to Ner1'';t
such a course at this time Tc.:'1 '>"
equivalent to sllowing a premature
argument Of the gas case. The coz
took the application in this case un-
der advisement. but admitted the brief
in the Southern Railway case.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 6.~The en-
tire Democratic ticket in Louisville
and Jefferson'county with the excep-
ton of only ChrisMueller, the Demo-
cratic nominee for the Legislature in
the Forty-sixth district, was defeat
ed yesterday by what appears to be
decisive majorities. Mr.. Wilson,
the Republican nominee for Cover
nor, carried every ward in the city
and also the county outside of the
city by majorities varying from 80
in the Second ward to / ,419 in the
Twelfth ward. His majority in the
city and county, with ten or twelve
precincts missing, is 7,400. Mr..
Gainstead ran behind Mr.. Wilson in
every ward except the Seventh,
where he stopped Mr.. Wilson's ma
jority by twenty-five votes. Mr..
Grinstead failed to carry the Second
ward. which gave Mr.. Tyler a ma
jority of 254, the only ward in the
city which gave the Democratic
nominee for Mayor majority over
his Republican opponent.
Mr.. Grinstead's majority over
Mr.. Tyler, with few precincts mis-
sing, is 4,251, which is just 3,15S
under the majority polled by =. Mr.
Wilson for Governor. The entire
Democratic county ticket was de-
feated by majorities which do not
leave the result in doubt.

>Christian County Goes Back to the
Old Way With Gain of
$50 Over 1903.

Eleventh District Casey Republi-
can; Monroe, Republican; Perry, Re
publican; Wolfe, Republican.
Several of the largest Democratic
counties have not been heard from,
but several of the big Republican
counties in the Eleventh district
have not reported. Campbell county
which has not been heard from COM
pletely, is estimated at 1000 Re-
publican, reports from Cincinnati
late last night indicating that the
Republicans had carried the comfy
by this large figure.
Owen county, one of the largest
Democratic counties in the state,
has not reported, and it is expected
that it will give the Democratic tick
ct a majority of more than 1900.
The returns were disappointing to
the Democrats, showing a falling off
in the votes as compared with the
vote cast in 1900. The comparison
with the results in that race were
not exactly fair, however, as Beck
ham won by majority $4,000 and
it was seen early that the race would
be close one after the result in
Louisville was known. The Republi-
can vote also fell off in the mount
aims, or there was no gain over 1900
