NATIONAL.

The organization of Congress, called
into special session by the President, was
made doubtful as democratic or republi-
can, by death or illness of members of
both parties, by the Individual attitude
OF several members, and by the indie
pendent contingent; proposal of a BIZ
partisan organization failed of assurance
by detection on both sides; Representa-
tive j. A. Gallivan of Boston, democrat,
announced he would not attend the party
caucus to determine the attitude of the
democrats in Congress: a split in the re-
publican ranks also made the result
doubtful. The federal reserve system. by
subscription of the twelve reserve banks,
made a loan to the government of $50
o0o, 900 on ninety-day notes. The inter-
state commission received the
appeal of railroads for an advance of
freight rates from 10 to q per cent, to
meet the extra cost of the operation of
