Message Not Read.

| Those members who had expected
that the presidents message would
be read, were disappointed. The fact
that the senate adjourned immed-
lately after converting, out OF re-
spect to the members of Senator's
Pettus and Morgan, of Alabama. who
died during the recess. precluded the
presentation of this always much an
ticipated communication from the
chief executive. The house, too. was
mourning the loss of two of its mem
bers, Representative Slemp. of vir-
ginia. and Representative Smith. of
Illinois, the latter having died only
Saturday.
With the completion of the organi-
cation of the house, the swearing in
OF members, the drawing Of seats and
the appointment OF committee to noti-
fy the president that the house was
