dian reciprocity agreement, got under
way at noon to-day amid scenes o! great
rejoicing on the part Of the Democrats
II was the first time the Democrats had
come into control Of the House in sixteen
long. lean and weary years and they
celebrated the event with Gemons,ra-
tion which for noise and enthusiasm has
had Few equals in the Caption.
William Jennings Bryan Joined in the
general Democratic rejoicing on the foor
Of the House and made the great gather
inc an occasion for a spectacular meeting
between himself and Gov. Judson Harmon
Of Ohio As the two leaders of rival
Democratic camps grasped hands the
party hosts on the floor and the hundreds
in the galleries cheered heartily. II
was an impressive way Of emphasizing
the fact that the Democrats are out for
harmony at picsent. ne matter what the
riva! PRESIDENTIAL booms Of 1912 may
bring forth.
Champ Clark as he accepted the sceptre
which Uncle Joe Cannon has held for
years. delivered a speech outlining the
duties and pledges which confront the
present Democratic House He failed
to mention Canadian reciprocity. His
address was strongly partisan and WAS
Immediately cited by Republicans as the
first instance in many years in which
q presiding officer Of the House upon
assuming power had devoted his remark
to partisan programme.
The convening OF to-day's Congress
mark ed the passing Of political regime
in both branches. In the House the
Republican organization. as represented
by the Cannon leadership and majority
Of Al. gave way to the Democrats under
Champ Clark and his supporters. back ed
by an overwhelming majority OF 6s.
While the Senate still remains Repub-
lican, the margin is so narrow that the
control Of the so-called conservative
standpat machine. dominated for years
by Senator Aldrich, is AT an end
With the Republicans having only a
majority Of eight the insurgents in the
Senate WELD the balance Of power and
will be able in an emergency practically
TO dictate the policy Of the Republican
organization This fact was indicated
to-day when the progressives asserted
their strength and wrung from the regular
organization liberal concessions in the
matter Of committee appointments and
patronage.
The additions to the Senate on the Demo-
cratic side also have had distinc. liberal
izing tendency. and present indications
are that much Of the so-caAled progressive
legislation which failed in the last session
OF Congress will now be pushed through.
This class Of legislation includes the d.
rect election of Senators.
With the appearance to-day Of new
political powers in both branches Of Con-
gress there passed from view many ia
miliar figures who have held the Repub-
lican Congress organization together in
days Of stress. The appearance in their
places Of new faces impaired q distinct
note Of sadness to the days proceedings
for Republicans who are left.

PHILADELPHIA, April 4.-Thieves
forced their way into the Offices of the
Bethlehem Steel Company on the sixteenth
floor Of the Morris Building. Fifteenth and
Chestnut streets. last Saturday afternoon
and ransacked every desk in the place
including that Of Charles NJ. Schwab.
president of the corporation.
II is understood that papers Of value
are kept in the Offices in this city.
There was no money and nothing but a
few stamps to be gained by looting the
place. except secret papers. The thor
oughness with which the thieves searched
desks and closets would seem to give color
to the belief that the intruders were after
something Of more value than any amount
of money they might expect.
The robbery was not reported to the
police until to-day. Private investi-
gators were at work. and II was only after
they had failed to find a clue that the
Police Department was called in.
