New Pacific Coast Lines.

(Pacific Navigation Co.,, Ltd.) by the Mexican Federal Government, for the opening of branch line be- tween Mazatlan and San Diego, Cal, stopping both ways at San Jose del Cabo, Magdalena Bay, San Quin- tin, Santo Domingo and Ensefada.
 In an interview with MT. Luis A. Martinez, president and the largest stockholder of said steam ship company, he assured us that the new line will be opened very soon, because there is every reason to believe it will be a very profit able enterprise and in the near future will develop considerable traffic between San Diego and the above mentioned Mexican ports.
 As the company has the privilege to extend this branch to Man zanillo, Mexico, on the south, and San Pedro, California, on the north, and it will not be very remote the time when we will see said line ex- tended between those two ports; having the opportunity of taking freight in and out of San Diego and San Pedro, from and to all the Mexican Pacific ports, because the Compania Narjera Del Pacifco main line runs between Guaymas and San Benito touching at all the Mexican ports on the Pacific Coast, and a branch line plying between Guaymas and San Jose del Cabo, Lower California, stopping at Santa Rosalia, Mulege, Loreto, La Paz, Eureka and San Jose del Cabo. Freight therefore between Man zanillo and San Pedro will be easely transferred at either San Jose del Cabo, Mazatlan or Man zanillo, according to the ports the freight is destined to or is coming from.
 It is now for the Los Angeles and San Diego business men to come forward and compete with the San Francisco exporters and importers and carry off the large Mexican Pacific trade.
 As the Mexican Steamship Co.,, referred to, runs in and out of Salina Cruz three times a month, American as well as European freight can be taken to and from San Diego and San Pedro by the American Hawaiian Steamship Co.,, from and to New York, and by nine different Transatlantic steam ship lines from and to the principal ports of Europe from and to Puerto Mexico (Coatzacoalcos) and from and to Salina Cruz via the Tehuan. tepec National Railway.
 Such kinds of freight which for merly used to be handled by the Southern Pacific Co.,, from and tc Europe and New York, via New Orleans or Galveston, Fl Paso anC Nogales, to and from all Mexican Pacific ports, is at present being transported via Salina Cruz, be- cause that route has proven to bt better, quicker and cheaper thar the other one.
 Tn confirmation of the above WI can state that considerable good from Eastern points and European ports, are being transported intC Arizona, via Puerto Mexico, Salin' Cruz and Guaymas; and if such i the case, is there any reason wh, the San Diego and Los Angele people should not avail themselve of thiS snlendid opnortunitv assooT

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 flutelike sounds, playing
away to the wilderness for hours at q
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 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.

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
it's 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.

Opening of the Senate.
Vice.President Sherman called the
Senate to order at noon. Rev. Ed
ward Everett Hale, the chaplain or
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 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
were introduced for consideration dur
ing the winter by senators who, like
the representatives, desire to have
hand in forwarding administration pol.

After comparative short session

ber. 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 conservatories 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 a 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.

Sixty-First Congress Meets in

BRILLIANT THRoNG PRESENT

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-first
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
ltol 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 men,
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 so it
is that, so far as committee work is con-
cerned, the House not only is ready
to proceed at once to consider legsla-
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 we're
represented in the throng of visitors
The diplomatic gallery in the House
and in the Senate as we'll, was filled
to its fullest capacity with ambassa-
doris, ministers, attaches and the la
dies of the different legations. Men,
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
well represented.
By 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 men,

An Easy Duty.

"The late Gov. Johnson was a witty
as well as wise man." said a resi-.
dent of Minneapolis.
Once, at dinner, New York mil.
lionaire said about his taxes:
i've got little piece OF property
that brings me in fair rental, and
the tax-gatherers haven't spotted II
yet. / don't know whether ought to
tell them or not. What would you do.
