FIFTY-FIFTH CON GRESS IN SESSION Its Opening: in WasMitlin MafStJBv Ciraistances of merest. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE READ Its Receipt and Appointment of the Usual Committees the Events of the Morning in Both Houses Senator Simon of Oregon Sworn In and Seated. Washington, Dec. 5. Congrees re assembled nnder circumstances of nn sual public interest. The same congress six months ago declared war against Spain, and now with the war fought and won, it came together for the first legislative consideration of questions developed by the eventful inonthB just passed. The spirit of the occasion was not, however, one of immediate expect pectancy, tor the few months that are left to the existence of the 56th congiess gave promise of little more than the beginning of momentous problems and policies growing out cf the war. Long before the noon hour, when the senate and house began work, the corri dors were filled with surging crowds in rotunda and statuary hall, and pushing toward tbe galleries. By eleven o'clock the leaders began to make their appear ances, and tbe public galleries filled rapidly. IN THE SENATE. Simon Was Seated and the President's Message Was Read. Washington, Dec. 5. In the opening hours of the last session of the memor able 55th congress the senate chamber presented an animated scene. The gal leries were filled early, many of the spectators being visitors to Washington, who had embraced the opportunity to witness a congressional opening. On the senate floor the scene presented was un usually brilliant. Morgan of Alabama was the first senator to enter the senate chamber, and closely following him came the octogenarian, Morrill ot Vermont. One by one tbe members dropped into the chamber the floor soon presenting a scene as annimated as that offered by the galleries. ' The roll call of the senate developed the presence of sixty-seven members. After the routine business McBride of Oregon presented the credentials of his newly elected colleague, Simon, to whom the vice-president administered the oath of office. Pending the receipt of the president's message, the senate took a recess of thirty minutes. At . 1 ;25 the committee appointed to wait upon the president reported the performance of its duties and an nounced that the president would com municate with the senate in writing. Scarcely had the report been made when Pruden entered the chamber and pre sented the message. Hobart laid the message before the Baking Powder Made from pure cream of tartar.

GALE UNROOFS MANY HOUSES Pennsylvania Visited by a Deluge of Rain Heavy Damage Done at Atlanta City. Baltimore, Md., Dec. 4. The most severe wind and rain storm that haB visited Baltimore for many years pre vailed today, and did thousands of dol lars damage. Sixty miles an hour is the wind velocity given out by tbe weather bureau,' the highest for nine teen years. Fully 800 houses in the city and vicinity were unroofed, chim neys innumerable were blown down, trees uprooted and poles leveled. Tele graph, . telephone, electric light and trolley poles were blown down like so many tenpins. Large sections of the city are in darkness tonight, and the telegraph and telephone systems are badly wrecked. During the night of the hurricane, a large gas-supply tank, at the corner of Scott and Oitend streets, exploded, and created a panic iu the neighborhood. No damage was done. Heavy Rain in Pennsylvania. Phiuadelpuia, Dec. 4. A heavy rain storm, which began yesterday.ccntinued all today with increasing violence, ac companied by winds of almoat gale ve locity. Shortly before midnight there was a clear sky. At its maximum the wind blew 42 miles an hour. The tele graph wires from this city south were rendered almost useless on account of the heavy winds. Trees, swinging signs and chimneys were blown down, but no great damage is known to have ensued. A few dispatches received at tbe mari time exchange told of a very severe northeaster prevailing at Delaware breakwater and other points along the New Jersey coast. At many points the tide rose to the highest point it has reached in years. No disasters to ves sels have yet been reported. At Atlanta City great damage was caused to wires, and the city is in com parative darkness tonight. Several pri vate residences on the Meadows were completely purrounded by water, com pelling the ocLupants to use boats in go ing to and from buildings. Reports from Eastern Pennsylvania indicate the prevalence of heavy winds and rain, accompanied in some instances by a slight fall of snow. At Shenandoah, where snow fell, many small buildings on the outskirts blew down. Telegraph communica tion was also crippled. In the mining regions of Northeastern Pennsylvania, the enow fall has in some places reached a depth of six inches, with no signs of abatement.- Traffic has been seriously impeded. For Sale.

A GREAT FIRE IN NEW YORK More Than One Million Dollars Worth of Property on Broadway De stroyed by the Flames. - New York, Dec. 5. In - a blinding rain storm tonight the massive block of buildings on Broadway, Nbs. 253 to 259. and included between Murray and War ren streets, was almost destroyed by fire. Within three hours more than one million dollars worth of property had been destroyed. The fire began in the five-story brick building occupied by the men's furnish ing firm of Rogers, Peet & Co., on the southwest corner of Broadway and War ren streets. The estimate of tbe losses by Chief Bonner after midnight was $1,000,000 . with a probability of a further loss should tbe fire continue to make any thing like rapid progress. At that hour, however, he believed be had the fire about under control within reasonable limits. At 2 o'clock, however, it was still burning fiercely in front, end although, not observable by the thousands ot spectators, was burning more fiercely and extended lower down in the rear. LUST.
