applause from the galleries and from
the floor of the House. many Of the
Democrats and insurgents joining in
the demonstration, though in either
case possibly the hand-clapping was
given as an evidence Of regard for the
office of speaker, rather than as evi-
dence of any overweaning affection
for the speaker himself.
With the committees ready to begin
work, the House will settle down to
its winters business at once. No bills
will be passed Immediately because
all measures must be considered
in committee, and the meetings Of the
committees will be held daily from
now until the Christmas holidays and
some on the more important House
bodies will sit during the recess.
When congress reassembles' in Janu.
airy many of the committees will be
ready to report bills, and the debates
of the winter will begin.
Opening Of the Senate.
Vice. president Sherman called the
Senate to order at noon. Rev. Ed
ward Everett Hale. the chaplain Of
the Senate, having died during the
summer recess, his place as chaplain,
temporarily was taken by local
clergyman who offered prayer. In the
Senate the roll was called and 1t was
found that nearly all the Senators
were In their seats. The resolutions
were adopted to the effect that com.
mittees be appointed to inform the
House and the president that the Sen.
ate had assembled and was ready to
begin the business of the session. As
was the case In the House many bills
we're introduced for consideration dur.
ing the winter by senators who, like
the representatives. desire to have q
hand In forwarding administration pol
icies.
After a comparative short session
"in the open," the galleries were
cleared and the Senate went into ex.
ecutiye session behind closed doors
for the purpose Of considering nomina'
tions for office sent to the Upper
House by President Taft.

was evident from the tone Of the bills
introduced that some scores Of repre-

measures which had been recommend

those intended to correct alleged ex-

Curious Trees.

Among the curiosities of tree life Is
the sofar, or whistling tree. Of Nubia.
When the winds blow over this tree
1t gives out fiutelike sounds. playing
away to the wilderness for hours at .
time strange, weird melodies. It Is the
spirit of the dead singing among the
branches, the natives say, but the SCI
entific white man says that the sounds
are due to a myriad of small holes
which an insect bores In the spines
of the branches. The weeping tree Of
the Canary islands IL another boreal
freak. This tree in the dryest wealth
er will rain down showers from Its
leaves. and the natives gather up the
water from the pool formed at the foot
Of the trunk and find 1t pure and
fresh. The tree exudes the water from
innumerable pores at the base OF the
leaves.

MIsssd From . ManoIsd Mail Baa
They are Rseovered From

MIsssd From Manolsd Mall Bae
They are Recovered From
Car Trucks.
II does not always follow that the
disappearance Of registered mail
packages indicate robbery OF the
mail. This was demonstrated on
The Overland Limited train No. Z
Friday. November 9th, when a pack
age Of ive registered letters from
Schuyler disappeared between that
point and Omaha.
The recovery OF the lost package
was a. strange as its Disappearance.
The Schuyler pouch IL picked up
from crane by means of q pouch
catcher as the train passes. This
pouch catcher II attached to the mall
car and hooks onto the pouch sus-
pended from the crane az the train
passes. \ In this particular instance
the pouch catcher did not make .
good catch and the pouch fell under
the wheels of the train and was cut
In two. The mail was scattered along
the track for considerable distance,
but the FIVE registered letters, which
were In packet, could not be found
when the other mail was picked up.
The impression at once prevailed that
the registered package had been found
and kept by some one and 1t was re-
ported as lost.
Postoffice Inspector L. A. Thomp.
son was started out to investigate. FIis
first visit was to. Council Bluffs to
make inquiries of the postal clerks
on the car, and scarcely had hs
reached there when he received word
that the registered package had been
found by the car cleaner resting snug
ly on the trucks under the dining
car, where It had been blown or
thrown when the mail pouch was
flung under the wheels at Schuyler. .
That the package was not injured
In the slightest, nor Jared from its
position on the trucks, is simply an
other tribute to the Union Pacific's
unsurpassed roadbed and perfect track

Precautionary Measures Are Taken

IIN
Washington. to the rs-
port which came from the state de-
partment Friday, President Zelaya of
Nicaragua has become fugitive from
justice and in the eyes of the United
States Is common murderer. He
must fall either by execution or Inn
prisonment as an assassin.
Commanders of American vessels
on the Central American coast have
been instructed to adopt every pre-
caution to prevent the escape of the
president of the revolution ridden re-
public, even to searching all outgoing
vessels.
Zelaya Is to be tried as the muir
derer Of Groce and Cannon, the Amer
leans tortured and executed at his or
ders Whether the trial will come un-
der the regime which would attend
the success OF the revolutionists or
under the provisional rule OF the
United States should an army of oc-
cupation be landed, later events will
determine.
In Secretary Knox's note to Senior
Rodriguez, the Nicaraguan represen-
tative, Wednesday, the secretary Of
state left no room for doubt that the
United States would place he blame
for the murder of Groce and Can
non upon the shoulders Of some one.
Zelaya's own admission that Groce
and Cannon were officers of the revo-
lutionary army decided the state de-
partment on the plan of having him
tried for murder IL he can be cap
tured. The United States govern
ment's position is that in killing the
Americans, outside the rules of civil
lied warfare, Zelaya was as guilty of
murder as highwayman who kills to
rob, and that the best possible lesson
to disturbers in Central America will
be to treat Zelaya as a common MUIR
derer and not as a romantic adven-
turer
dent Zelaya, in the official eyes of the
United States government, is not a
political refugee nor leader of q
military force, but a fugitive from JUS
tice charged with murder.
A special appropriation for an army
of occupation will be necessary. There
is law prohibiting any department
head creating deficit under the an
nual estimates without permission of
congress. 1t is believed that no OBJ
struction will be put in the way of the
governments plan.
I The cruiser Albany and the York
town. which are speeding down the
Pacific to join the Vicksburg at Co

In declining to state specifically
where United States landing forces
have been put ashore. Assistant Sec

jackets have been landed at Greytown
and encamped in the plaza.
