 LAST SESSION GAVEL FALLS IN BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS FOR WIN
 TIERS DELIBERATIONS.
MUST EXPIRE IN 3 MONTHS
Little Legislation Expected at Pres ent Term-Deaths Announced of Three Senators and Three
 representatives.

Washington, Dec. 6.--In a session of tance congress reassembled. In three months it will expire by constitutional limitation and control of the house of representatives will be surrendered to the Democratic party.
 Curiosity to see how men, long in the public eye as statesmen of com- mandi influence, would bear up un- der the crumpling of their political fortunes drew to the capitol early a crowd of unusual proportions.
 Snow Greets Statesmen.
 Fur coats and wraps were in much demand, and the members and spec tators hustled into the capitol well powdered with snow. for the first heavy snowfall of the season greeted the opening ot tho session.
 There was col l.Yely meagar a.- tendance of mom s. Many of the southern Democ ta will not come to . wash on unt ar the holidays.

 Leplores Death of Members.
 At t1a conclusion of the prayer the | IspeaEor ordered a call of the house Iby states to ascertain the presence ! Of a quorum.
 Resolutions were adopted deploriug the death of the following members of the house; Charles Tnrell of Mas sachusetts, Walter P. Brownlow of Tennessee, William w. FoullUod of Pennsylvania and Samuel L. Gilmore of Louisiana
 After the resolutions had been or dered transmitted to the senate the i hou adjourned out of respect to tho dead members.
 Interest Shown io Senate.
 The senate galleries were packed as usual for the openns day Of a a.s- s.Jl There was no lack of cheer Us liar as appearances were concern q. amops those who had gone down u the November battle, but deep regret was expressed on all sides on accouut of 5bo zap caused by death in the senate ranks Four senators-Mc- Emery of Louisiana, Daniel of Virgin ia, Clay of Georgia and Deliver of Iowa-passed away since the adjourn ment in June.
 Vice President Sherman entered the chamber smiling and bis ruddy face glowing with health. Prayer was of fered by Rev. U. G. B. Pierce, the chaplain. With the necessary routine business disposed of. the senators lis tened to announcements of deaths of their four colleagues and then ad- journed out of respect.
 One leading Republican member said just before the opening hour: "We are meeting to pass the appropri- ation bills" There is nothing to show that the members word was not al most comprehensive enough to cover the situation. There will be some legislation passed other than that nee sary to give the supply bills force and effect, but the number of meas ures of national importance which will be passed can be counted without danger of confusion of figures.
 Conservation to Come Up.
 It is likely the senate will pass a ship subsidy bill and it may be that the house will give it's approval. The changes of the passage of an anti injunction measure in line with the recommendations made by President Taft one year ago are chances only.
 Various conservation measures will occupy the attention of both houses in the hours not given over to the discussion of the supply bills. The Appalachian forest reserve bill, which already has passed the house, may be sanctioned by the senate, but be- yond this it is doubtful if any con- elusive action will be taken upon bills
