The house adjourned until Thurs
day. 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. The chaplain.s prayer in
voked divine grace and blessing on the
senatois and members now about tq
take up the work of the extraordinary
session, and on the presldentand .vice
president. The roll-call disclosed the
piesenceofG8 senators. The senator
from Kansas, W. A. Harris, took the
oath of olllce.
Hoar of Massachusetts, and Cockrell
of Missouri, were named a committee
to wait on the picsldeut and Inform

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. Tiie Ir
ritation caused hy a few wools here
tofore classed as carpet wools being
used fqr clothing purposes, has been
