from the Senate, Speaker Cannon ap
pointed committee to join 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 then
referred to the proper committees. 1t
was evident from the tone of the bills
introduced that some scores of rep
resentatives were anxious to father
measures which had been recommend
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.

Tests Of Diamonds.

Most persons are obliged, in the
purchase OF a diamond, to rely i'm
plicitly upon the word Of the man who
sells the stone. While many years of
observation and experience are needed
TO become an expert with respect
to the value and purity Of diamonds,
yet there are certain extremely sim
pie tests capable of being made by the
most inexperienced.
One is by means of a needle hole
pricked through piece of ordinary
cardboard Looking through the stone
tested at the cardboard, one will see
two holes II the diamond be spurious
only one If the gem be genuine. The
reason for this is that an imitation
diamond will give double refraction,
the real stone but one refraction.
1t is claimed that there is no acid
having any perceptible effect upon a
genuine diamond. Hydrofluoric acid
will, If dropped upon stone made Of
glass. corrode 1t, but upon the bona
fde stone 1t will have no effect at all.

sion, he gave no evidence of 1t 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 demon
stration, though in either case pos
sibly the hand-clapping was given as
an evidence of regard for the office
of speaker, rather than as evidence 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 m
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-
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
we're adopted to the effect that CON-
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
were introduced for consideration dur
| ing the winter by senators who, like
the representatives, desire to have a
hand in forwarding administration pol
| icies.
After comparatively short session
"in the open," the galleries were
cleared and the Senate went into ex
ecutive session behind closed doors
for the purpose of considering nomin
atoms for office sent to the Upper
House by President Taft.

Vice-President Sherman Presdes Over the Senate-Nu-
merous Bills Designed to Garry Out President Tafts
Policies Are introduced in Both Houses
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The Sixty.
first congress of the United States
met at noon to-day for the first day
of its first regular session. with Vice
President Sherman in the chair of the
senate, and Speaker Joseph G. Can
non In the chair in the House. While
this congressional gathering is the
first regular session. 1t is the second
session in reality, for congress met in
extraordinary session last spring at
the call of President Taft to consider
the matter of revision of the tariff.
Some interest was lacking in the
proceedings of the first day in the
capitol because at the beginning of
the extraordinary session in March
last the speaker of the House was
elected. Moreover, before the extra
ordinary session was ended, Speaker
Cannon appointed all the committees
which are to take legislation under
consideration for the next two win
tiers. The appointment of the commit
tees ended the campaign on the part

Ready for Work at Once.
The members have had time to get
over jealousies and rivalries and so
is that, so far as committee work is con.
concerned. the House not only is
ready to proceed at once to consider
legislation, but most of the members
have brought themselves into frame
Of mind to do what they are called
upon to do without regard to their
past feelings 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 damned 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 well, was filled
to its fullest capacity with ambassa-
doris, ministers, attaches and the la
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
airy 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 wher
they are to be used as a tribute to the
memory Of some deceased member
The result of this rule is that now or
the opening days of congress the
desks of the members are bare O.

Absentees Are Few.
