OPENING OF CONGRESS.

Washington, Dec. "A brilliant scene
Goth Congress today. In the Senate and
House Of Representative there We're
notable gatherings in the galleries Of
representatives Of the officials society
of the capital. The coming together
of the first time of the men who have
been elected to the Senate and the
House, about hundred Of whom have
not before served in Congress, made
the occasion OF particular interest.
The striking scenes OF the day were
in the House OF Representative for the
formal selection of Joseph G. Cannon
to be Speaker Of that body again and
the designation by the Democrats OF
John Sharp Williams as their leader
geltlemcn. The big hall Of the House
of Representative rang with tie cheers
of Republicans and Democrats for their
leaders and the Speaker received as
warm q reception from the members
Of the minority as he did from his own
party. The appearance Of William Jen-
nngs BRYAN on the floor OF the House
also was the occasion for cheering by
the Democrats.
When the adoption Of rules for the
government of the House during the
Goth Congress came up, the rules of the
last Congress were opposed by Mir. VIII
liams and he Joined in that opposition
by Democrats and by a single Republi
can. Mr.. Cooper of Wisconsin. The old
rules were declared to be to autocratic
and place too much power in the hands
of the Speaker. but after 4 somewhat
acrimonious discussion they We're
adopted by 4 party vote.
Committees were appointed by both
houses to inform the President that
Congress had met and was ready 70 re
ceive any message he might wish to
communicate.
New senators and representatives
were sworn in and both houses adjourn
ed out of respect to the memory Of
members who have died during The re-
cess.

lures of all into 4 composite measure
will furnish a task for the heavy
weight statesmen of the party. There
is desire among Republicans to make
it party question, so as to derive
creGit in the next campaign.
The Republican party passed the
gold standard act at a time when the
Democratic party entertained 4 policy
which the voters of the country stamp
ed as financial heresy. The Republicans
have never ceased to congratulate
themselves that they had the courage
to fight out the financial question as
they did.
Senator Allison. one of the Republic
can leaders of the Senate. expressed
the opinion today that a bill will pass
CONGRESS which will provide for emer-
gency circulation. He did not think it
would authorize circulation based upon
assets credit. but that conservative Sc

fore the morning. The steam Trusty is at
the mouth of the river and will cont inue
her work of landing the crew and pas

the night on Ironbound island.
The event, an unusual one. has caused
considerable commotion in the town. The

ritories, Ontario, Quebec and the Nova
Scotia steel works. AS to the reason of
their vessel being so far out of her
course it is at present impossible to get
any facts that would warrant 4 state
mcnt. 1t is said. however, that she was
in shoal water some hours before she
struck.
The Nuremberg tug proved the better
boat for rescue work. Ships boats and
nine dorios We're put in the service. 1t is
feared the steamer will be a total loss.
The wreck is one of the most remarkable
that has ever occurred on the Nova SEQ

Washington. Dec. $50 far as the
first session of the Goth Congress is
concerned, the House of Representa-
tives convened today. The galleries
were crowded with beautifully gowned
women, who had come early in the ex-
pectation OF witnessing some exciting

While no special campaign has been

lions in support of prohibition await
the municipal results with the expecta-
ton that the general trend of senti-

in Massachusetts this year in the way
Of gains to the no-license figures and
that one or more cities may give up

fact that state and national party lines

Despite counseI's Objection, Put Off
Until Jan. 6, 1908.

Now York, Dec. 2.-On motion Of
District Attorney Jerome. the second
trial of Harry h. Thaw for the killing
Of Stanford White in June, 1906, today
was postponed until Monday, Jan. 6.
A special panel Of 800 talesmen will re-
port that day
Thaw was not brought into the court
room but stood in the rear of the cor
ridor and had an unobstructed view of
the proceedings. His wife, Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw. was the only member of the
prisoners family present. She looked
in much better physical condition than
she did 4 year ago. Her face is plump
and there is touch Of healthy color in
her cheeks. She seemed in high spirits.
The proceedings came up before
Justice Bowling in the same room
where Thaw was first tried. The de-
fandant's new leading counsel, Martin
W. Littleton, opposed the delay. Mr..
Jerome requested the delay on account
OF the great difficulty that would be
encountered in securing a jury with
the prospect of being locked up over
the holidays staring each talesman in
s.tpe face.
:. Justice Bowling said that while he
favored speedy trial he believed time
would be saved by putting the case
over to the first Monday in January.

day by tie railroad officials. William

is as follows:
we have investigated the matter

the cold wave it would be well TO start

'Ths second boiler had been "cut
out CT the hot water heating system
up to this time and after the eX-
plosion we found both the outlet and
return valves tightly closed, indicating
that he forgot to open them to allow
the water to circulate.
"Of course under these conditions
the water standing in the second boil
er was confined and soon became steam
Having no vent an explosion was in
eVitable."
The damage to the building and heat
