INTERESTING CIRCUMSTANCES
A Few Bills Were Introduced in the
House Adjournment Soon Afi.er the
Heading of the Message.
Washington, Dec. 7. When the sen
ate convened Monday to begin the clos
ing session of the 55th' congresss, the
cHamber presented a notable and beau
tiful appearance. By 11 o'clook the
public and private galleries were filled
almost to their' capacity with a distin
guished assemblage, including many
ladies in brilliant attire. '
0 the floor of the senate the display
of flowers was unusually beautiful even
for the opening day of a session of con
gress. The odor of flowers filled the
chamber. The memorable scenes en
acted in the ohambeer during the last
session, and the momentous events that
have" occurred Bince congress last ad
journed created a feeling of intense ex
pectancy on the, part of the spectators
and the members of the 'senate. This
was made manifest' by the long lines of
people in the corridors anxious to gain
admission to the galleries and by the
early arrival of the senators on the
floor. ' Through ' the ' oourtesy of the
Fvice-president, ' the' members of the
joint high commission- were admitted
to the floor of the senate, and were the
recipients of much attention.
Just. before the senate was called to
order, several well-known members of
the diplomatic corps appeared in the
diplomatic gallery.1 " ,
Promptly at 12 o'olock Hobart rapped
for , order. Mr. Milburn, the venera
ble blind chaplain, in a profoundlim
presgive manner, returned "devoutlind
reverent thanks for God's goodness to
us as a nation and for his care of us
since last gathered in the chamber."
'! The call of the senate developed the
presence of 67 members. The usual
resolutions were offered and adopted.
Cullom of Illinois offered one to ap
point a committee to inform the house
that .the senate was tindy to transact
business; Hale of Maine, one fixing
the hour of 'daily meetings at 12
O'clock noon, and Morrill of Vermont,
one to appoint a committee to notify
lbs president that the senate was
awaiting any communication he might
desire to make. Morrill of Vermont,
and Cookrell of Missouri, xvere named
by'lbe vice-president to join a like
committee of the house to call on the
president. ' '
MpBride of Oregon, presented the
credentials of his colleague, Simon, to
whom the vice-president administered
the oath of office. -,
s The readina of the message occupied
two hours and 18 minutes. Many per
sons remained in the galleries through
out the reading, but, as is usual, little
attention was given to the presentation
of the message, either in the galleries
or on the floor, after the first few pages.
"' The senate adjourned shortly after
the reading of the message.
, In the House. . -.' .
' Washington, Dec. 7. The opening
session of oongress Monday was, a speo
tacular occasion,, animated " and bril
liant. There were more thanth usual
number of distinguished -personages in
the thronged galleries, including many
representatives of foreign governments,
high officials, and ladies and gentlemen
conspicuous in social and political life.
The greetings of the. members were
most cordial, and there was no outcrop
ping of partisan rancor to mar the oc
casion. One of the most , striking inci
dents was the 'cordialsmeeting' between
the floor leaders of the respective sides,
Messrs. Dingley and Bailey. In view
of the gossip about the possibility of
Mr. Bailey being deposed as the minor
ity leader, it is significant that the
speaker named Mr. Bailey as the
minority member of the,' oommittee to
wait upon the -president, an honor al
ways : bestowed upon the recognized
leader, of the minority. ; 7 " ' '
Speaker Reed received a warm wel
come from both sides of the house when
he" ascended . the rostrum to call the
house to order, but perbapa the greatest
personal ovation to any member was
that given Ma-jor-General Wheeler, of
Alabama, : who ..has not been, seen by
many of his old colleagues since he
went to the' front at the head of the
oavalryv; division of General Shafter's
army. '"Mr. W, A. Stone, of Pennsyl-'
vania,- McMillin, of Tennessee, and Mr.
Sayers, of Texas, who have been elected
Lgovernors ot ' their respective states
since congress adjourned, were aiso
overwhelmed with congratulations, ,
The floral tributes today were un
usually numerous and made the hall a
veritable bower of ' beautiful ' flowers.
The proceedings themselves were dull,
all interest centering in the reading of
the president's message. : For over two
hours the clerk dfoned through the long
document, hut the interest of members
and spectators never flagged. With
rapt attention they followed the presi
dent's recital of the war and listened
eagerly to every suggestion or recom
mendation he had to offer. No expres
sions of approval, or disapproval inter
rupted the reading.,' '

In the first installment of hia story
of the .."Merrimao" in the December
Century, which is to be an unusually
attractive number, Lieutenant Hobson
lays no claim to having originated tha
idea of blocking the channel at Santi
ago. The sinking of the collier had
been orderbd by Admiral Sampson, but
the commanding officer off Santiago had
not executed the maneuver when the
flag-ship arrived, and the working out
of the plan, as well as its execution,
was intrusted to Lieutenant Hobson.
The preliminary steps are detailed in
this number of the magazine, and in
later issues the story of the sinking of
the ship and the capture and imprison
ment of her crew will be given at first
hand. This is the only aooount of his
exploit that Mr. Hobson has written
