preparation of a new tariff would be
confined to such suggestions as he might
desire TO make, and ne was assured that
while these would be listened to by the
house with every possible consideration.

aration of the new law Nor was there
any indication on Mr.. Tafts part that
he would expect or desire it to do So

revised and that the revision should be

Washington, Dec. s.-For nearly five

day considered the bill providing for the

BOTH BRANCHES
Senate Holds Short Session,
but the House Put in Five
Hours on Census Bill.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The session of
the senate today was chiefly devoted to
the formal presentation of departmental
reports and the Introduction of bills.
The reports have been made public
from time to time and the bills, num-
bering 352, were chiefly for the granting
of pensions. Senator Johnston of Ala
bama introduced a bill to reinstste for
mer Cadets Russell and Weaver, dis
missed from the military academy for
hazing. He declared that their pun
ishment was excessive. and said that
every new senator was hazed by being
given unimportant assignments and
being restricted in his privileges He
did not wish TO have the idea go forth
that boys mothers have to look after
them after they enter the military acad-
envy.
After a brief executive session the
senate, at 1:22 O'Clock, adjourned.

The speaker assured his hearers that
he had no doubt that the committee
would give the subject its very best
consideration. and believed the inland
waterways improvement would pro-
gress with the increase of population.

issuance of bonds, ne called attention
to the fact that at present all i'm

never yet failed to provide the money
for such work.

Mixture of Customs.

The funeral services were noted for
strange mixture of ancient Chinese Gus
toms with western forms and practices. a
fact that shows the progress made in re-
cent years of undermining the system of
procedure for imperial interments. Many
of the old grotesque funeral forms that
have been observed for centuries were to-
day ignored.
The cortege was accompanied by 500
mourners and 1000 soldiers. Fully 10000

PROBABLY TRUE IN THEORY
CHARACTERISTIC TALK OF THE
RULER OF CONGRESSMEN.

Washington. Dec. 9.-Speaker Cannon
today declared that never since 1890
had there been a time when, under the
rules of the house. either under Repub-
lican or Democratic control. a majority
of members had not been able to re-
gister their will in legislation He
made the assertion in speaking to a
delegation of the Ohio Valley Improve
ment association. which. through its
chairman. presented him with a me-
mortal urging the improvement of the
Ohio river at a cost of sos. 000, 600. to be
paid in bonds.
II appreciate said Mr. Cannon
that you approach me because l am
speaker. l know that they say that
am the car and that ] have more
power 10 bind and to loose than had
ST. Peter when it was said of him ON
this rock l build my church. But that
is incorrect. The speakers function is
to preside over the house and to en-
force its rules, and nothing more"
He then declared that in view of this
fact. it would rest with the committee
on rivers and harbors 10 make recon-
mendatiOn in this as in other matters
pertaining TO the improvement of the
waterways Of the country.
