Sixtieth Congress Assemblies.

The first session of the sixtieth con-
gress opened at Washington last
Monday amid the usual brilliant and
exciting surroundings incidental to
such an occasion. Nearly 100 new
members of the house and senate were
sworn in, and many notable faces
were absent from both the Republican
and Democratic contingents. There
were no officers to elect in the senate,
hence the initial proceedings of that
body were mostly of routine charac-
ter.
In the house Hon. Jos. G. Cannon
of Illinois was reelected speaker by a
vote of 2O7 against 154 for Hon. John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, the
nominee of the Democratic caucus and
again the chosen floor leader of the
minority party. Sem tor Cu1berson
of Texas was chosen Democratic leader
in the other chamber. Speaker Can
non was greeted with an enthusiastic
demonstration when he appeared on
the rostrum escorted by committee
| headed by his unsuccessful opponent,
and the popular presiding officers
opening remarks were received with
great applause by the entire house.
Mr.. Williams precipitated a spicy
partisan debate by opposing motion
to adopt the rules of the former house,
but the motion prevailed by a party
vote. Hon. VIM. ]. Bryan was among
the visitors whose presence ELECTED
particular attention and applause.
President Rooseveit's annual mes
sage was presented and read in both
branches of congress on Tuesday, and
food Of bills has since been intro
| duced covering some of the various
subjects discussed by the president
and many not referred to by him. II
is expected at currency reforms and
waterways Improvement will be among
| the most important topics OF discus
sion and legislation during the pend
ing session of congress.

COMING! COMINC!!

Mahara's Big Minstrel Carnival will
show in Battle Mountain next Thurs
day, July 25th.
The following notice about the show
is taken from the Phoenix Times:
The company made a magnificent
showing on the street and much was
expected from the evening performance.
In no way was the audience disappoint-
ed-for the o upany-even to the small
est detail surpassed anything heretofore
seen here in the minstrel line. The
show is really three shows in one mus
ical, comedy vaudeville and minstrelsy,
and il there could be any complaint it
would be that there was "toc much" for
the money, but as this is an affair which
concerns only the owners OF the show, 1t
is not likely that any complaints will be
made.
Mshara's Minstrels, all colored. are in
their twentieth year OF success. This is
without a doubt the Oldest colored min
strel company on the road. The Ma
hara's this season carry a dozen Creole
girls who are a whole show by them
selves. They also have their own or
chestra and band. Watch for the big
parade they will present on the street
next Thursday afternoon.

Greeks Passing Through.

For several days past struggling
bands of Greeks have been arriving
in Winnemucca from the east after a
tramp OF many miles along the rail
road. The Greeks belong to a gang
of l50 which were sem out by q New
York employment agency to work on
sections for the Southern Pacific.
Roadmaster Thomas McKenna met
the Greeks at Carlin as they ann
from the East, and started to distrib-
ute them. At Battle Mountain they
baked and refused to work in less
than gangs of sixty, and then at twice
the wages promised them in New
York. They all boarded the local
freight and refused to move. Train
master Stinson was called from Win
nemucca, but could do nothing.
The two cars and caboose contain
ing the Greeks were then placed on
the end of the train and suddenly
dropped at Mote, a desert siding with
out q house or food. The men re.
mained on the cars until daybreak
and started to walk to Winnemucca,
carrying their baggage.
Some of the stragglers have not
reached this place yet, but the major
ity have arrived and many OF them
have gone to work at the Western
Pacific construction camps west of
here.
One of the Greeks, named Antony
Names, was killed about four miles
east Of Golconda by jumping from a
moving train last Friday. Names
was beating his way in a box-car on a
freight train with two companions.
In passing by a Western Pacific
grading camp the three men jumped
from the train. Two of them alight-
ed all right, but Names was not so
lucky. He landed in a culvert and
was killed. His body war not found
until the following morning, his COM
panious not knowing what had be-
come of him. They thought perhaps
he stayed with the tain, but on closer
search the body was found as stated
