nanious received beautiful silver loving

United States navy yard which Secretary

Logical pointers like these from sucH
I influential and competent sources go 1ai

for the loss of the exposition "a loss that
yery many of her best people regard
blessing in disguise.
! CONGRESS- IN EXTRA SESSION
; The congress of the United States as
sembled in extra session at Washington
last Tuesday, responsive to the call Q
President Taft, and no time was lost Il
getting ready for business. The house
representatives was naturally the cente
of attraction and interest, inasmuch as 1t
political complexion was changed iron
Republican to Democratic as the outcom
! of last falls elections. Hon. Champ Ciar
! of Missouri was chosen speaker TO succee
9 Hon. Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois, and tn
veteran Uncle Joe" resumed his p'ac
. among his colleagues as plain membe
j. on the floor.
Speaker Clark made a judicious an
E forcible speech Of acceptance, outllntn
. the general policy which the Democrat
! majority of the house intends to pursu
and exhorting his political colleagues
4 deserve future success as the best an
!" only means of its achievement.
y The remaining principal officers OF tt
= house we're chosen as follows: Clerk, Sou'
% Trimble of Kentucky; serseant-at-arms,
:. S. Jackson of Indiana; doorkeeper, J.
:. Sinnott of Virginia; postmaster, Villa
= M. Dunbar of Georgia; chaplain. Re
: Henry N. Couden of Michigan, the note
: blind preacher who has long held Il
!. position.
- Committees of the senate and hou
were appointed to notify President La
Of the readiness of congress for bus
j; ness, and next day the president Sc
of in his initial message, transmitting al
n urging approval Of the reciprocity agre
l., nent with Canada which passed the hou
+ at the regular session but failed to
- through the senate. This was the 81
i, subject treated in the message, out it is
al likely that it will form the ONLY legis
no ton to be proposed and discussed duri
r;c the extra session Leading Democrs
"a are insisting that the work of revising t
70 tariff downward be taken up, while lee
nd ing Republicans aver that no tariff
mi can pass the senate before the next REF
.rn lar session. If the two houses lock hol
on this question, they are in for a IL
and wearisome struggle that will har
ID be ended this side of the dog days.
