Many Changes Have Occurred In Both
Branches Since The Close of
The Last Session
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TUESDAY

WASH NGTON. d. c.. Dec. f.
Congress will meet on Monday for the
final session of the siXticth congress
in session until March 4.
when it expires by constitutional limi-
tation. Much talk has been heard con
cerning tariff revision and other i'm
portant business to he brought mp this
sessions. but as a matter of fact it is
probable that little else than the pas
sage of various appropriation bills
will be attempted. 1t is generally
agreed among the leaders of both par
ties that the three months is entirely
too short a time to consider and act
upon measures of great Importance.
Practically all the members have
arrived in the capital in readiness for
the opening of the session. About the
hotel lobbies. clubs and other places of
resort the victors and vanquished werc
to be seen today congratulating and
svmpathizing with ono ar0thers over
the results of the November ballot.
In the house the session will be re-
markable chiefly from the fact that it
will mark the farewell appearance of
many members who for years have been
leaders or familiar figures about the
house of representatives. Chief among
these are the veteran William p. Hep
burn of Iowa. who heads the Interstate
and Foreign Commerce committee, and
Jesse Overstreet of Indiana. chairman
of the Post Office and Post Roads com
mittee.
In Representative Ovcrstreet the
house has lost one of its ablest legis-
lators. Mr.. Overstreet is a member of
the Postal Commission. which for some
six years has been working to insti-
tute a complete reorganization of the
postal service. No one in Washington
understands the needs of the postof1ice
in all its details better than Mr.. Over
street, and his presence is almost in
dispensible to proper consideration
of n postal reorganization bill. One
of the features of the proposed re-or-
ganization is the establishment of the
office of director of posts. This is in
tended to be a permanent official, and
it is understood that when the time
comes Mr.. Overstreet will be the
unanimous choice for the position.
The failure of reelection on the part
of Representative Hepburn neccssi-
tates the choice of a new chairman for
the committee on Interstate and For

The literary world, at least the Eng

A national corn exposition will open

hibitions are of wide scope and promise
to attract much attention.

Closed Season
GAME oFF|clAs SPEAK

a recent dispatch from Denver says
A closed season the year round on deer
elk, mountain sheep and all harmless
animals is going to be asked by the
Humane society and the game and fish
department before the coming legisla,
ture.
Secretary Whitehead and the game
commissioner are both of the opinion
that live harmless animals are of
greater value to the state than are
their dead carcases. At the present
time there is an open season for the
killing of doe and fawn. The season
lasts fifteen days. The game officials
say: This year the slaughter was
something frightful. 1t was enough to
make the heart of any human turn
sick. Doe would be killed and their
fawn would be left to be devoured by
other wild animals. Hunters in tho
name of sport would shoot fawn SO
small that they could carry them
away from the slaughter ground in a
paper sack. Others would be wounded
and left to tho mercy of the wild ami
mails.
"There is hardly one man in thous-
and who does not inwardly resent the
shooting of deer, an elk, doe or
fawn." Mr.. Whitehead and the game

this way they would prove greater

hunting of them at tho present time.

WHAT IT COST THE STATE CAAIRMEN

Denver, Dec. 4-State Chairman Wv
ian and State Chairman Ward of the
Republican and Democratic central
committees have made public the
amounts of money they expended dur.
ing the campaign. Mr., Vivian spent
$34 045, while Mr.. Ward expended a
little over $1,000 more, his expcndi.
lures totaling over $39,75s,.93. Mr..
Ward has balance on hand of $l29
and has also $3.50 worth of bills to
pay.
These figures perhaps represent as
low an amount as ever expended by
two chairmen in the campaign history
of the state. Mr.. Vivian's expend,.

TAFT CARRIES STATE
OUTSIDE OF DENVER

The Official canvass on the presi
dental electors made by the state
canvassing board Tuesday shows that
Bryan carried the state by 2;944. 1t
also shows that Taft carried the state
outside the city of Denver. The vote
outside of Denver county gives plur-
ality of three of the Republican prcsi-
Dental electors and two of the Demo
cratic presidential electors.
b. l.. Jefferson, one of the Demo.
cratic electors, leads the ticket with
126,530 for the entire vote of the state
while Carnaham, Republican cleo
tor. leads outside of the city and
county of Denver with 93,5O7. Carna.
han also leads the Republican electors
in the entire state with 123,7O0. The
highest vote polled by Socialist elec'
tor was given Bray who received 1914
and the highest vote given a Prohi-
bitionist was 1853.
The three Republicans to carry the
state outside the city and county of
Denver are Carnahan, Ballrcich and
Springer. The two Democrats to car

county of Denver were Ehrhart and

The expedition led by Maj. II. A. Cole,
destroyed the trestle-work on each side
Of the bridge and also the bridge over
the canal. Gen. Halleck then directed
Gen. French to reoccupy Harper's Fer
ry. which he did by moving to Mary
land Hights, with all of his remaining
force except the 7th N. Y. City Guards,
under Col. Lefferts, which he left to
garrison Frederick. AS the Third Corps

vision, and assumed command Of the

The Hopes of the Administration.
President Lincoln, Secretary Stanton
and Gen. Halleck shared the hopes and
expectations of the country that Meade
would destroy Lees army before it
could recross the Potomac. The New
York Tribune, hysterical as ever, was
shouting for this accomplishment, which
II held to be entirely feasible and the
logical result of the victory. HallecIS
rushed every man within reach up to
reinforce Meade, and besides French's
command, which was increased to H.
0c0 by sending back all that had been
detached from him, from 1000 to 5000
men whom Couch had collected at Har-
risburg and 5000 more under w. +.

Meade. French's men were more or

useful reinforcements. Those under

the Eleventh Corps went into line with
the First and Sixth Corps under Gen.
Sedgwick.
The Twelfth Corps spent July in
burying the dead and collecting arms,
but sent one brigade on reconnois-
sance toward Bonaughtown. 1t fol-
lowed the rest of the army from the
field and crossed the South Mountain
by Champions Gap. Thus the whole
army was poured down into the Cum
berland Valley from July s to the 11th.
1t must be admitted that the movement
was entirely too leisurely to be called
by any stretch of language a pursuit.
Gen. French's Operations.
It will be remembered that Gen.
French, commanding what was subse-
quently the Third Division of the Third
Corps, had been stationed at Harpers

pute between Halleck and Hooker, and
then a conflict of purposes between
Halleck and Meade. This conflict of
purposes left French at Frederick City
with about 1000 men. AS soon as he
heard the cannon at Gettysburg he felt
impelled to do something, and began
wisely by sending an expedition under
Mai. Foley, 14th Pa. Cav, to Failing
Waters to find the enemys pontoon
and destroy it. This that officer did
with brilliant success. Next, French
sent Morris's Brigade and other troops.

was learned that the enemy was in

Couch and Smith, on the other hand,
were mostly militia, emergency men,
In whom those old Regular officers had
little confidence. w. +. Smiths 5000
were at Carlisle on the evening Of July
4. Meade had at first ordered Smith
to come to him at Gettysburg, but
changed this to an order to march
slowly and circumspectly down the
Cumberland Valley after Lee. Smith,
uncertain as to how his militia regi.
ments would act. obeyed this order with
much watchfulness and caution. He
realized that his 5000 men were out of
touch with the main army, and might
be at any time overwhelmed by O swift
counterstroke from Lees tried veter-
ans. He therefore took counsel of his
prudence, and did not risk his raw
command within easy reach of Lee, and
they consequently counted for little in
the campaign.

Meade was moving IN pursuit was Q
