Sena- tor Harding, answered his name when the senate roll was called. and made a brief address from the rostrum.
 Other features of the opening of the third and final session of the sixty sixth congress were receipt of annual appropriation estimates aggregating $4,653, ,00O, ,00O, and introduction in the house of an unusual volume of new bills and resolutions. Senator's held up their bills until tomorrow in ac- cordance with the custom of limiting the first day to formal convocation.
 The principal business today was to arrange for receipt tomorrow of President Wilson's opening message. A joint committee called upon the pres ident at the White House and the lat- ter receiving them in the blue room, told them he would have "a commu- nication" tomorrow. He did not state whether he would send or read his message, but 1t was understood that l the former course would be pursued The senate was in session 25 min utes, and the house. notwithstanding | kIS lOhEEI INn As1Ats QlAN aIWACE as AOAS- l New members elected last Novem- lber to fill vacancies were sworn iii and adjournment taken until noon to- morrow, when both bodies plan. after receiving the presidents message to i proceed to work.
