IN ADDITION to brain storm and de-
mentia Americans, we have "O6session, "
which is urged in extennation of the
crime of murder. Rev. DR.. Utter was
oae of the Witnesses at the Bradley trial
In Washington Saturday, and in his
testimony be referred to demoniac pos
session and What hecalled "obseesion."
When the reverend gentleman was
asked to describe what he meant by
obsessioD, DR.. Utter, facing the jury
and raising his voice, said 1t wss
"oosselsiou from the outside" and he
attempted to illustrate by saying that il
a nsn was possessed Of tho devil, the
devil was supposed to be in him.
"Obsession is an idea that burns into
the mind end controls outward objects
and controls tho inward person. II
differs from possession in being an out
ward Object instead of something inside.
Ii was the thought Of her love for her
victim that controlled her"

THE sIXTIETH CONGRESS.

The Slx.ieth Congress assembled al
noon today. Long before the gravelf
fell in the Senate and House, stream
of people filled the galleries and over
flowed into the corridors---a mass of con-
fusion and color. Admission was by
card only.
As flowers have been barred from the
floor, there was nothing much for the
spectators to see, but Statesmen"
The procedure in the Senate was
formal and brief. Ia the House, the
entire membership had to be sworn in,
Speaker Cannon and the other officers
had to be reelected, and seats had to be
assigned.
In the upper body, Vice President
Fairbanks presided, the oTgsizliiOn of
the Senate being continuous. Rev.
Edgard Everett Hale, chaplain, offered
prayer, tue roll was called and the Vice
President announced quorum present.
The swearing in OF newly elected senators
was then taken up, after which Sena-
tor Allison, master-of.ceremonies, offered
the usual resolution directing the APP
pointnent OF committee, to act with 8
committee of the House, to wait upon
President Roosevelt and inform him that
Congress was assembled and prepared
to receive any communications he might
be pleased to make. The committee
will not report until tomorrow. Then
another resolution was adopted, inform
ing the House thst the Senate was ready
to work. One more resolution was
needed to start the legislative machinery.
1. fixed the hour of meeting ct noon
each day.
Resolutions were then offered officially
Informing the Senate of the deaths OF
Senators Morgan and Pettus, Of Alabama,
and, out of respect to their memories,
adjournment wss taken.
In the House Mr.. Mcdonald, clerk
OF the last House, called the body to order.
Many of those in the packed galleries
were the relatives and intimate friends
of the new members. The diplomatic
corps were generously represented.
Ia the Presidential gallery was Mrs.
Longwortb, and her sister, Miss Ethel
Roosevelt.
The blind chaplain, Henry n. Cou-
den, offered prayer, the roll was called
b. States, and 8 quorum found to be
present. Then the question Of who
would be chosen Speaker was placed be-
fore the House. Col. Hepburn, chair
man of the republican caucus, which
had decided upon Mr.. Cannon, as a
successor to himself, nominated the
Illinois member. The chairman of the
democratic caucus placed John Sharp
Williams, Of Mississippi, the minority's
candidate, before the House as the proper
man to be elected. OF course Mr..
Cannon wss chosen, and was escorted 10
the rostrum by committee headed by
his rival, the Mississi2pisn.
Mr.. Cannon's appearance wss the
signal for an outbuns Of applause. Mt.

territories and the members came for
ward to the Speaker, who administered
the oath of allegiance.
The next number of the programme
vas the selection of the minor officers.
The republicans bad their slate, and the
democrats theirs. The republican eau
didstts we're chosen aud were called to
the roslrum and sworn in.
Having appointed committees to notify
the President and Senate that the House
had organized and was ready for BUSH
ness, Mr.. Dalzall, spokesman for the
rules committee, moved that the rules
Of the last House be adopted. M.
Williams objected, by telling the new
republican Members that the rules are
arrogant and harmful, snd that they
should not be adopted for longer than
thirty days.
Despite the warning of the minority
leader, the rules were adopted by an over
whelming vote, although few repub-
Iicans were found to have lined up with
the democrats.
Then came the grand biennial lottery
the drawing of seats. The floor lead
ers of both sides-Payne, Of New York,
and Williams were first given their
choice, as was General Bingham.
The House VAS then informed OF the
deaths of Representatives slemp, of Viz
ginis, aud Smith, of Illinois, in respect

Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon
have attended to that. Unless the plans

here is what Congress will do; Enact
