Congress Again

Washington, Dec. 8. - brilliant
scene characterized the meeting Of the
Sixtieth congress Monday. In the sem
ate and the house of representatives
there were notable gatherings in the
galleries of representatives Of the off.
cial society OF the capital.
The striking scenes of the day were
in the house of representatives. where
the formal selection Of Joseph u. Can
non to be speaker of that body and the
designation by the democrats of John
Sharp Williams as their leader were
occasions for ovations for those gentle.
men. The speaker received as warm a
reception from the minority as ne did
from his own party. The appearance
of William J. Bryan on the floor of
the house also was the occasion for en-.
thusiastic cheering by democrats.
When the adoption of the rules for
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 a
single republican, Mr.. Cooper of Wis.
consin. The old rules were adopted.
Communities were appointed by both
houses to inform the president that
congress had yet and was ready to re-
ceive anv message he might wish t.
send.
