 - Many Conspicuous Figures Will Not Be Returned. In the Senate Chamber, the Changes wnu Be Marked by Reason of
 the Character of the
c0NGRESSMEN TO BE SENATORS

Washington, Nov. 3.--when the Six tieth Congress assemblies four weeks from tomorrow, there will be much about 1t strange to those who have long been familiar with the personnel of past Congresses.
 In the House, the Democrats have lost their senior member in point of service. ]. H. Bankhead of Alaban who was defeated for renominatlon by Richmond Pearson Hobson. the hero of the Merrimac. The party is not to lose the services of Mir. Bankhead. however. for he takes the seat in the United States Senate. made vacant by the death of the venerable Senator John T. Morgan.
 Probably the most conspicuous loss on the Republican side of the House fB General Grosvenor of Ohio, whose pa triarchal and venerable appearances has for years focused the attention of the galleries. and whose wit and dis- position to banter have many a time made the hall ring with laughter when the situation has been so tense as to seem as if nothing but bitter passion could find expression.
 Another picturesque figure has dis appeared with the retirement of Hon. Joseph c. Sibley of the Franklin (Pa.) district, who served ten years in the House He was elected to the Fifty third Congress as a Democrat, and again to the Fifty-sixth Congress-. af~ ter narrowly escaping nomination as Vice President on tho Bryan ticket.
 Another old-timer who will be miss cd is James ". wadsworth of the Thir- ty-fourth New York district. defeated by Peter A. Porter. a Democrat. AIT. Wadsworth served about eighteen years in the House and was chiefly cons spicuous on account of his important work as chairman of the Committee en Agriculture.
 Other members of the House who will be missed when the Slxtieth Con gress assembles. are Bowie If Alabama, smith, Trimble and Gilbert Of Ken- lucky. Robertson of Louisiana, McNary and Sullivan of Massachusetts, Hunt Of Missouri, Van Duzer of NRvada, Mc@ Dermott of New Jersey. Hearst, Towne and Ruppert of New York, Patterson and Gudger of North Carolina. Southall of Virginia, Dovenor and Davis of West Virginia. and Bishop of Michi- gan. These disappear from the House because they failed of renomination
 Included among the leaders who were renominated but failed to secure reelection were such prominent lead CTS as Babcock of wisconsin; Lacey of Iowa: Blackburn of North Carolina: McCleary of Minnesota; and Fred Lan- dis of Indiana.
 In the Senate the changes will be even more noticeable than in the House. Death has removed from the ranks the two oldest members of that body. Pettus and Morgan. of Alabama, whose places will be taken by former Com Eressman Bankhead and Joseph F. Johnston. ex-Governor of Alabama.
 Berry of Arkansas, who served twen- ty years in the Senate. Is replaced by Jeff Davis 'Fiddling Bob" Taylor takes the place of Senator Carmack, of Tennessee. Zoe" Blackburn. of Kentucky gives way to Thomas Fl. Paynter and Dubois of Idaho, one of the best politicians In the Senate, is succeeded by William E. Borah.
 The baby members of the Senate will be Elmer E. Burkett, of Nebraska But q few months older than Burlxett is Joseph M. Dixon. who takes the place of W. A. Clark, the Montana copper king.
 Curtis of Kansas. the first Indian to occupy a seat in the Senate, Is. by reason of his long service in the House. almost as well known among his new associates as if he had long been in the Senate. He and Norris Brown. the new Senator from Nebraska. who suc- ceeds Willard. have both proclaimed in advance their earnest support of tNOOSeVtlL III tHS O01 OA iA% and they are therefore looked upon as valuable recruits for tho William Alden Smith, who takes the seat made vacant by the death of Senator Alger. of Michi- gan, Is well known because of his ser vice in the House.
 simon Guggenheimer. the smelter from Colorado. who succeeds Patter- son. Is the only extremely rich man among the new Senators. and Frank O. Briggs. who succeeds Dryden of New Jersey. has the distinction of be- ing the only one with whiskers among the new crop of Senators.
 In the Senate, more than in the House the changes will be marked by reason of the character of the men who have retired and of the marked contrast in some instances between their places.
