MESSAGE TAKES
UP THEIR TINE
Business of Both Houses Com
fined to Listening to Presi=
dents Communication.
ARMY MEASURE is PRESENTED
President Sends Special Message ADJ
vOcating Plan for Volunteer
Organization.

Washington, Dec. 8. - The business
Of both houses of congress was con-
fined yesterday largely to listening to
the reading the presidents annual
address, but in addition a few bills
were introduced both in the senate
and in the house, and in the house
q number of bills were sent to confer
ence, among them being one prOvid-
ing for a new immigration station at
Boston. In addition, the speaker an
nOunced the appointment of Mr.. Hig-
gins of Connecticut TO a place on the
committee On the Judiciary in place
of Mr.. Littlefeld, and of Mr.. Martin
to place on Indian affairs in place of
MIR. Parker, deceased. For the first
time during the present congress there
was a call of the committees of the
house, but no measure was reported by
any of them. The miscellaneous work
of the senate consisted in the main
of the reference in executive session
of about 1900 recess nominations,
which were yesterday sent to the SEN
ate by the president, and the adoption
Of resolutions Of regret On account OF
death of members of the house who
have passed away since the adjourn
ment last May.
Emergency Army Bill.
An emergency volunteer army meas
ure was advocated by the president
yesterday in a special message to con-
gress, and the draft of the bill was in
troduced in the senate by Mr.. Cullom
The president says the bill was drawn
under the supervision of the chief of
staff of the army and has the hearty
approval of the war department. 1t is
intended to replace the present law
which, the president says, is faulty
and wholly inadequate for a speedy
organization of volunteer force. 1t
is designed to afford the complete ma
chinery by which, should we be con-
fronted by foreign war, the executive
power could proceed at once to trans
form enthusiastic and patriotic citi-
zens into efficient and organized SOL
diers. The proposed bill is elastic,
under its provisions a force of 2,000,-
600 men could be raised as we'll as
one of $4,000.

She got her first news OF the trag-
edy through reading Of it in a news
