Der. The result of this rule is that
now on the opening days of congress
the desks of the members are bare of
floral decorations. In the old days
both House and Senate were turned
into Conservatives for the time of
the opening proceedings.
At sharp noon Speaker Cannon
called the House to order and asked
the chaplain, Rev. Henry N. Couden,
TO offer prayer. In his prayer which
was in sense Thanksgiving offer
ing, the chaplain referred to the pros
perity of the country, the opportuni-
ties of the present and the bright
hopes and promises of the future.
Absentees Are Few.
AS soon as the prayer was ended
the clerk of the House called the roll
of membership by states and it was
found that there were only a few abb
sentecs. The roll call ended the read
ing clerk of the Senate who had ap-
peare1 in the House was recognized,
and he announced that the Upper
House had passed a resolution to in
form the House of Representatives
that a quorum of the Senate being as
sembled, that body was ready to pro-
ceed to business. The House also
was told that the Senate had appoint

United States that quorum of each

was ready to receive any communica-
ton that he may be pleased to
make" On receipt of this message
from the senate, Speaker Cannon ap-
pointed committee to join; a like
committee of the Senate to wait upon
the president The members of the
body directed to notify Mr.. Taft that
the House was in session were by the
appointment of the speaker, the Re-
publican leader, Serene E. Payne, and
the Democratic leader. Champ Clark.
The first day in the House as usual
brought out hundreds of legislative
measures in bill form, all of which
were read by their title only and re-
ferred to the proper committees. It
was evident from the tone of the bills
introduced that some scores of repre-
sentatives were anxious to father

ed by President Taft as being neces-
sary to carry out proposed policies of
progression. The bills ranged from
those intended to correct alleged ex.
listing evils in interstate commerce to
those to give increases of pensions to
veterans of the civil war.
Applause Greets Speaker Cannon.
If Speaker Cannon anticipates any
particular trouble with the "Insur-
gents" of the House at the coming
session, he gave no evidence. of it
when he took the chair as presiding

officer. He was greeted with great
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 of the more important House
bodies will sit during the recess.
When congress reassembles in Janu-
ary many of the committees will be
ready to report bills, and the debates
of the wipter 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 a local
clergyman who offered prayer. In the
Senate the roll was called and it 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 Sem
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 a

cleared and the Senate went into ex-
ecutive session behind closed doors
for the purpose of considering nomina-
tions for Office sent to the Upper

.SOL0NS OF NATION
BEGIN THEIR WORK
Sixty-First Congress Meets in
Regular Session.
BRILLIANT THRONG PRESENT
House Greets Speaker Cannon with
Great Appsause-Many "Taft Pol
Icy" Bills Introduced in Both
Chambers.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

Washington, Dec. 6.-At noon to-day
Vice President Sherman in the Senate
and Speaker Joseph G. Cannon in the
House called to order the Sixty-frst
congress of the United States for its
first regular session. Really the first
session of this congress was the extra.
ordinary one of last spring called to
revise the tariff.
Some interest was lacking in the
proceedings of the first day in the cap
itol because at the beginning of the
extraordinary session in March last
the speaker of the House was elected
Moreover, before the extraordinary
session was ended, Speaker Cannon
appointed all the committees which
are to take legislation under consid.
GRAFTON for the next two winters. The
appointment of the committees ended
the campaign on the part of the mem.
bers for choice chairmanships and, if
the chairmanships were not forthcom.
ing, for seats in the more important
subsidiary bodies of the House.
Ready for Work at Once.
The members have had time to get
over jealousies and rivalries and 80 it
is that, so far as committee work is con.
cerned, the House not only is ready
to proceed at once to consider legisla-
tion, but most of the members have
brought themselves into a frame OF
mind to do what they are called upon
to do without regard to their past feel
ings of disappointment and perhaps,
anger.
AS is always the case on the open
ing day of congress, admission to the
House and Senate galleries was by
card and only those fortunate enough
to know senators and representatives
sufficiently well to secure admission
tickets were allowed to witness the
proceedings.
Galleries Are Crowded.
The galleries of both House and
Senate were jammed with people. All
classes of Washington society were
represented in the throng of visitors.
The diplomatic gallery in the House
and in the Senate as we'll, was filled
to it's fullest capacity with ambassa-
dors, ministers, attaches and the Ia
dies of the different legations. Mem
bers of the families of the president
and of the vice-president of the United
States occupied seats in the executive
galleries, and the cabinet and judici-
ary and army and navy circles were
we'll represented.
By a rule which was adopted not
long ago, flowers are barred from the
floor of the House excepting when
they are to be used as tribute to
the memory to some deceased mem

Gass Tank ExpIodes.

Hamburg, Dec. S.-The explosion
of two gas tanks in the so-called
"Kleines Grasbrook," on the Elbe
Front was followed by an extensive
fire, and the loss of many lives. The
explosion was due to leak in new
gasOmeter.
Escaping gas entered the retort
house where it came in contact with
the fires, causing terrific explosion.
A large number of workmen were en-
gagged in rebuilding and enlarging the
plant. twenty-five of the men were
employed near the gasometer. They
disappeared in mass of flames which
shot up to a great height.
Ten men are reported dead and II
missing. 1t is almost certain that all
of these are dead. Forty men were
seriously injured, cf whom several
cannot recover.

Curious Trees,

Among the curiosities of tree life Is
the sofar, or whistling tree, of Nubia.
When the winds blow over this tree
it gives out futelike sounds, playing
away to the wilderness for hours at a
time strange, weird melodies. 1t 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 is another boreal
freak. This tree in the dryest wealth
er will rain down showers from it's
leaves, and the natives gather up the
water from the pool formed at the foot
of the trunk and find it pure and
fresh. The tree exudes the water from
innumerable pores at the base of the
leaves.

TALK OF PROSPERITY
TAFTS WRITTEN ADDRESS TO
SENATE AND HOUSE HAS
AN OPTIMISTIC RING.
WALL STREET Is WELL PLEASED
Substantial Business Expansion.
Document Is Generally Ap-
proved BY Both Parties.

New York.-'It might have been
written by Mckinley" was the
comment of prominent New
York broker, in giving what he
considered Wall Streets sum-
ming up of President Taft's mes
sage. The document evidently
was received with approval
throughout the financial district as
attested by advances in the gen.
eral list of stocks.
The presidents assurance of
economy in national expenditures
was everywhere favorably COM
mented upon; his brief references
to corporation questions were
looked upon as containing the
promise of conservative treat
ment of these same matters in
the extended recommendations re-
garding them, which he is to make
in special messages later on.
Washington, D. c. - Having assem-.
bled and received the presidents an
nual message, congress found itself
literally out of work, and in conse-
quence both houses adjourned over
until Friday when, if some of the vari-
Gus committees fail to provide some
thing to do, adjournment will be taken
until Monday next.
The formality of reading the mes.
sage aloud consumed about an hour
and half of the time of each house.
When the conclusion was reached the
house Immediately adjourned, but the
senate remained in session for some
time afterward, an executive session
being held before that body adjourned.
Little fault was found with the mes
sage among the Republicans, who
seemed to agree that it was as satis-
factory a document as the president
could prepare and remain consistent
with the party's campaign pledges.
The Democrats approved the presi-
dents efforts to reorganize, but de-
preciated his suggestion that the
Monroe doctrine had practically be-
come obsolete.
"The message is written in the pres
ident's customary terse, vigorous
STYLE" commented Representative
Payne, the majority leader in the
house, while Representative Clark, the
minority leader, thought about all that
could be said about the message was
that it was comparatively brief, 'as
discussion of almost all important
matters is relegated to special mes
Sages."
In both houses the message was
subjected to the most careful scru-
tiny, and while the members paid lit
tie attention to the prefunctory read
ing of it by the clerks, they buried
their heads between it's pages and
aigested as much of it as they could
at one reading.
Following the custom the message
was referred to the committee of the
whole by both branches to be pre-
pared for "vivisection" by the various
committees whose business it is to
deal with the various subjects dis
cussed by the president in his mes
sage.

GROWN PRINCE
 AND EMPEROR
 IN CONFERENCE Climax in Balkan Situation Believed Imminent.
Especial from United Press !

(Speclal rom On1teQ PreSS.)
 Vienna, Feb. 23.-Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne, arrived today and entered into a military conference with Franz Jo- seph. It is believed that a settlement of the Austro-Servian dispute was dis cussed. That climax is rapidly ap- preaching, there is no doubt Russia is accused of precipitating the danger ous situation by her demand for pres sure upon Austria as we'll as upon servia which Austria and her ally, Germany, both deem ito be insulting. It is also charged that Russia is en- courag1ng Servia to demand territor- ial concessions which Austria will never grant.
 The best information obtainable to- day was that a warning had been sent to Berlin that a conflict was imnai- nent. A message from Constantino- pie says that Russian agents there have finally rejected the porte's amendments to the Russian proposal for the settlement of the Turko-Bul- garlan dispute and that another diff ficulty has arisen.

BARBARlC PUNISHMENT
 FOR BOMB THROWERS

St. Petersburg, Feb. 23-One of the four Revolutionists who were caught in an attempt to throw a bomb in a Teheran bazaar was today cut in two by the public executioner under orders from the Shah and the halves of his body hung up before the Baghsah where the Shah's home is situated, as a warning to the outlaws, according to messages received here.
 One of the four was executed in the regular way yesterday, when the out break occurred. The third and fourth men will suffer 8 fate of butchery.
