Second Session of the Fifty
? '' third Congress. r
BOTH HOUSES CONVENE PROMPTLY
Greater Attendance of Members Than
Was ExpectedGreetings the -'
Order of the Day.'- !
Washington, Dec. 3. The opening of
the second session of the 63d congress
after a recess of three months made the
capitol building the center of interest to
day, Nwith added interest owing to the
political revolution which recently oc-
curred. The crowd seemed to' be drawn
mainly to the house, and it was here
that the political storm made its mark
most apparent. The spectators showed
eager interest in the arrival of each con
spicuous figure on-the floor. The con
gressional veterans who have spent a
good share of their lives in the house
came for their final session, the tidal
wave having retired most of the leaders
of the majority ; but there were few diB
coasolates among the defeated, and they
joined with the members of the minority
in good-natured sallies, v Representative
Holmaii, of Indiana, was greeted warmly
by his old friends.
In the senate, the members were late
in arriving, and some of those who had
. been most conspicuous in the recent
public events, notably Senator - Hill,
were absent. ,
Vice-President Stevenson Prompt in
Calling the Senate to Order.
Washington, Dec. 3. Promptly at 12
o'clock Vice President Stevenson called
' the senate to order, and Chaplain Mil
burn offered the opening prayer. 1 He re
ferred feelingly to the critical illness
through which tbe daughter of Steven
son had safely passed.
Harris, dem.; of Tennessee, offered the
customary resolution asking a com mi t
ttebe named for the notification of the
president that the senate is in session.
The presiding officer- named Harris, of
Tennessee, and Manderson, rep., of Ne
braska, as the committee.
Cockrell, dem., of Missouri, chairman
of the committee on appropriations, of
fered a resolution, which was adopted,
providing the daily sessions of the sen
ate begin at 12 noon. Boll call devel
. oped the presence of 66 senators, consid
erably more than a quorum. A recess
was taken until 12:30.
Many senators had received floral trib
utes. On the . desk of - White, of Calif
ornia was a tall cluster of red roses. ' -
- On the reassembling of the senate at
' 1 :30, Executive Clerk Pruden appeared
at the main door, and white-haired
Isaac Bassett announced : "A message
from tbe president." Immediately Sec
retary Cox began reading the document.
- An Important Mining Case.
Washington, "Dec. 3. The action of
the' United States supreme ' court in'
granting 'an application: of the Last
- Chance Mining company versus the
Tyler mining company, will have the
effect of transferring to this court a liti
gation which has attracted much atten
tion in Idaho the past five years. The
case is important,' not - because of the
large values involved, but because the
questions of mining law'jwhich ,it raises
are most consequential, being as to the
rights of mining claimants to follow the
ledges beyond the lines- of their claims
... into tbe claims of their neighbors. The
. Tyler Company demanded the right
to follow ita ledges beyond vertical lines
into the LaBt Chance territory and
:' brought suit to enjoin the latter com
pany from taking ore which.while within
,itsown territory, was in the ledge hav-
. ing its appex In the Tyler" claim.'. The
ase has been tried in several Etate and
federal courts. The last decision was by
the circuit court ot appeals for the ninth
circuit, which sustained the contention
of the Tyler Company. Ordinarily the
decisions of the circuit court of appeals
are final, but the supreme court has the
option of reviewing, which the . court
has now decided to do in the case. The
Tyler Company claims the ownership of
$200,000 worth of ore extracted" by the
Last Chance Company, while tbe latter'
states it has expended $700,000 in the
Highest of all in Leavening
development 'of the ore bodies -now
claimed by the Tyler, and had expended
$400,000 in their development before any
claim was made. .
Speaker Crisp in the House.
Washington, Dec 3. Tho house was
called to order promptly at noon. Many
members' desks ; were strewn with
flowers,.; as one said,' 'flowers for the
living and flowers for. the dead." On

mense floral ship of state sent by a "Pro
tectionist." On the desk of Representa
tive Linton, of Michigan, was a large
floral schoolhouse, the compliment of an
A. P. A.-organization ' in acknowledg
ment of bis championship of tbe public
schools. When Mr. Reed entered there
were ringing cheers from a party of his
associates. A moment later Represent
ative Wilson, of West Virginia, entered,
and was enthusiastically greeted by his
associates. As the hands Of the clock
pointed to 12 Speaker Crisp entered, and
ascended the rostrum, amid applauee.
With several hard bangs of tbe gavel,
the speaker restored order,and the second
session of the 53 congress began. : Rev.
Dr. Bagby, chaplain of the house,- in
voked a divine blessing, and then the
roll was ealled. . .

Strikers Return to Work.
Panama, Dec. 3. The Star and Herald
says the strike of the canal laborers at
Culebra is ended.; Most of the men who.
held out for an extra 30 - cents per day

Representative McCreary's Idea.
.Washington, Dec. 3. Representative
McCreary, chairman of the house corn-
Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
n, k
mittee on foreign affairs, says he does
not expect many matters of importance
before the committee tbe present session.
He has not given the Nicaragua canal
any special attention ; he thinks were
the government to expend or guarantee
$75,000,000 or $100,000,000 great care
should be exercised, 'and the -government
should not be rashly committed
to an enterprise of such magnitude. -f
number' ts Speech Colaly Received.
Rome, Dec. 3. King Humbert today
in a speech from the throne to parlia
ment held that the : relations of the
country with foreign powers were good,
and promised that measures would be
introduced with reference to social and
educational reform. . The speech was
coldly received. -
FLOCKING TO FRENCH CITIES.
French-Farms Left Larccly in the Hands
or' ciiilf'ren and Old Men.
The complaint of overcrowded cities
and decaying rural population is heard
in France, and one very probable ex
planation of the diminishing numbers
and virility of the French peasantry is
given .by Jules Simon. lie thinks, says
the New , York , Post, the compulsory
military service has a good deal to do
with it. 'Peasants have to leave their
farms for three years, and go unwill
ingly enough, it may be. But they
find themselves better clothed and fed
than they were in ,their lives, and
though compelled to submit to strict
discipline and hard work, enjoy a life
far less fatig-uing- and dull than ' that
they have been accustomed to. When
their time is up,, it is not strange that
thousands of them refuse to go back to
the plow. They drift into the towns to
find work in factories, ' with, absolute
liberty after working- hours, and to ob
tain that contact with their kind for
futile gossip and that sense of playing
a part in the affairs of the great world
which make up so large a part of "the
attraction of cities for the poor. Tbe
result is, says. M. Simon, that agricul
ture in France is largely in the hands
of children and the aged and the few
young and middle-aged men who have
been too philosophical or too torpid to-
be lured away by the., fascinations of
city life. . . , ... -.
