 DO|NCS AT HUB

NASHlNGTCN. Dec ? Con- gress opened al noon with very fair attendance of members which is increasing hourly. The first meas ure introduced Was the budget pre- scented by Speaker Clark. and which provided for an appropriation of $S23, 3,0Oo, ,0oO and in which three new dreadnaughts are provided for
 Both houses adjourned after being in session long enough 10 attend to the opening formalities, the senate out of respect To the late Vice President sherman and the lower house to that of departed members
 Among the items of the appropri- ation bill nearly q million is wanted to cover certain proposed expendi. lures in Alaska. The estimates for the Alaska appropriations in .clude $115.O0O for the establishment of light and fog signal at Cape St. Elias. and $40,000 for other aids to navigation ill Alaskan waters; S4O,000 for the establishment of lighthouse depot; $500OO for the ex- tension and betterment of the Alas ka cable service; $1O0,000 for the investigation of the mineral resourc- es of the North: s6o,O00 for the care and custody of insane; s600G0 for the inspection and investigation of mines; $l3,G0O for the protection of game: S12.000 for the suppression of the liquor traffic among the Alas, ka Indians; $242,00 for the educa- tion of Alaska natives; sS.000 for maintaining the reindeer herds: $70.- 900 for the medical relief of natives: Sl0O,000 for the protection of the seal fisheries; $23,000 for the care of the Tongas forest reserve: and $22 900 for the care of the Gnu zach reserve. It is very probable that congress will order an investi gatiOn in an effort to ascertain the real conditions among the natives. who are said to be dying off at an alarming rate.
 The message of President Taft will he read tomorrow. and there is the possibility that the impeach ment proceedings will be started to- morrow also.
 The first bill introduced was that of Congressman DeForest. of New York. who has prepared a measure providing for the pensionins of eX- Presidents, and the widows of form CT Presidents.
 The Democrats appeared to be in very cheerful mood today as a result of their recent victories. and it is hinted that they intend to make their authority felt before the end of the present session.
