Interest In the assembllnir of the 55th conies in extra session, under President MeKinley's call, centered in organization of the new house. The ciowds were attracted to the eul lerics hours befoio noon, but the fjen eial public had small opportunity to view the proceedings. All the .galler ies but one were resoived for ticket-holders. The most striking feature of the scene on the floor was the numb r of new faces. Familiar liguros conspicu ous in lliefihockof many pailiament aiy buttles hud disappeared, and in tiie libts wcie new and untried kuishts. The change of personnel was very great. By 11 o'clock the re served galler'es, except those for tiie diplomatic corps and executive were walled In tier on tier. At 12 o'clock, Major McDowell, the cleik, rapped the house to order. Rev. Conden, the blind chaplain, delivered an invocation appealing for God's blessing on the work of the new con cress and the new administration. The cleik read the president's proc lamation convening congress, after which the roll was called. SENATE. There was an abundance of flowers on the desks of the senators today when at 12 o'clock Mr. DJobart called the senate to order. The galleries were lilled.

For tale by '"''' ' ' Harntt'& Lawrence V'f THE MESSAGE EEAD. faepiesidcnt's message was, con trary to cxpcctlons, sent to congress, and was read late In the aftcrnooD, after the preliminary business Inci dent to organization had been com pletcd It reads In substance as fol lows! i "Regretting the necessity which has rcquiredoiio to call you together, I feel your assembling In extraordinary session s indispensib'c because of the condition in which we find the reve nues of the government. It Is con ceded that its current expenditures are greater than Its rcceipts.and that such condition has existed now more i than three years. With unlimited means at our command wo are pre senting the remarkable spectacle of increasing our public debts by borrow ing money to meet the ordinary out lays incident upon even an economi cal and prudent administration ofgov- cnment. An examination of the subject discloses this fact in every de tail, and leads Inevitably to the con clusions that a condition of the rev enue which allows It Is unjustifiable and should be corrected. The president shows that the total deficit in the treasury for thiee years and eight months, up to March J, Is $180,000,000. Continuing the presl ideutsays: "Not only are we without a surplus in the treasury, but with an Increase of the public debt there has been a coirespondlng'Jncrei'se of Mio annual interest charge, 1'iora $22,S9j,S83, In 1S02, the lowest.of any year since 1862, to $S4,S87,207, in 1890,oran increase of 811, 493,41 J "Congress should promptly correct existing conditions, ample revenues uirst be supplied, not only for the ordinary excuses of the government, but for the prompt payment of liberal pennons, and the liquidation or the principal and intciestof the public debt, lhjrralslng revenues duties Miould beso ley led upon foreign pro ducts as to preserve the honie market as far as possible to our producers, .to revive and increase manufacuries, to relieve and encourage agriculture, to increase our domestic and foreign commerce, to aid and develop mining and buildingand to render labor in evcry-field of useful occupatlon.liberal wages and adequate rewards,to which skill and industry arc justly entitled. The necessity or the passage of a trim law, which shall provide ample levenue, need not be further urged. The Imperative dcniind of the hour Is a prompt enactment of such a meas ure, and to this object I earnestly recommend that congress shall mane every endeavor, and before other busi ness is transacted let us first provide sufficient revenuo to faithfully ad minister the Government without contracting a further debt or a con tinued disturbance of our finance." Following is a svnoifcls of the New I Dingley tariff bill: "The bill has two purposes, namely, to raise additional revenueand tocn couracre the industries of Mm TTnltoH States. On the basis of imnortations for the last fiscal year, the bill would increase the revenue about 8112,000,000 dividing among the several schedules roughly as follems: "A Chemicals, $3,500,000. "B Crockery and glassware, $4,0C0, 000, "C Metals, $400,000. 'D Wood, $1,700,000. "E Sugar, $21,750,000. "F Tobacco, $7,000,000. "G Agricultural, $0,30,000. II Liquors, 31,800,000. "I Cottons, $1,700,000. "J Jute, linen and hemp, $7,800,000. "K Wools, $J7,500,000; manufact ures of wools, $27,000,000. "L Silks, 81,500,000. "Pulp aud paper, $59,030. "N-Sundrles, M.200,000. Dim ley, continuing, said: " The Increase of revenue is secured by the trans. v Jng of wool, lumber, crude opium, painting, statuary, fitra'., ornameius, straw mattings, burlap and varlons other articles from the free Jlst of the present law to the dutiable list, by Increasing the duties on woolens to comoc'nsate the latter for the duty placed on wool; by raising the duty on sugar 3-4 of a cent per pound, in order to encourage the production of sugar In this country, which, It Is believed, can be done, and thus gsvc the fanners a now crop which wo now Import mainly from abroad; by Increasing the duty on agricultural products af fected by Canadian competition, and of flno cotton goods, some advance In manufactors of Iron and steel, jute, flax and hemp, in order to encourage these and other industries here, and especially by Increasing the duties on such luxuries as liquor, tobacco, silks, elc. "As a rulo, the rates of duties pro posed arc between the rates of the tariff of 1800 and the tariff of 1894. "The Iron and steel schedule is changed vory little from the schedule In the tariff of 1894, the changes being entirely In raCi'o advanced articles. The same is true of the cotton sched ule. In tho agricultural, wool, glass and earthnnwaro schedule alone are the duties of tho act of 1800 fully re stored as a rule, and, In a few cases, Increased with n view of amply pro tecting ahd encouraging our farming Jnteresss by every possible point. "While duty on clothing and wool is larger In proportion to tho foreign value than on manufactured articles, It is thought desirable. for public In terest, and for agriculture, that we should produce this prime necessity for ourselves- Tho duty upon carpet wools as well as many other articles Is impored mainly for rovenue.
