The lobbles.and gal leries wero crowded, the private galler ies being filled with fashionable women and men, .friends of President Roose velt the diplomatic corps nnd mem bers of congress. Floral pieces covered the deskes, and the members overflowed into the. lobbies. As usual, the main interest centered about tbc short proceedings of tho up per house. Senator Fairbanks, vice presidentelect, was easily tho most con (pieuous figure, and the galleries craned their necks to see them. Senntor Cock rell, of Missouri, ulso'cnmo in for much attention. Desks of Into the Scnntors Hoar and Quay were draped iu black. Senator Burton, of Kansas, was not present. In tho houso where 3SG members oc cupy tho available floor space there was perhaps less dignity nnd more noiso and laughter than among the 00 veterans of the senate. Speaker Cannon 'h room was besieged by a long procession of mem bers, seeking to get ttlcir irons in tho fire early. The clerk's desk was cov ered with bills for introduction. Tho senate and houso adjourned out of respect to the memory of tho Into Senators Hoar and Quay. Patterson Trial. New York, Dec. 5.

Tho two notes ono for $500,000, and tho other , for $230,000, which have- been mentioned in connection with tho Obcrlin bank and tho Chadwick case, bear tho signa ture "Andrew Carnegie." Tho smaller note was found in tho Oberlin bank, nnd is now in possession of tho United Slates government authorities in Clove land. This rends: "January 7, 1004. Ono year from date I promiBO to pay to C. L. Chadwick or order $250,000, with interest "at 5 per .cent (signed) Andrew Carnegie.'' This note is endorsed on the bnck "G. L. Chadwick." Tho note for $500,000 is supposed to bo in tho safety deposit box of President Bcckwith, of tho Ob erlin bank7 A subpoena for Robort' Lyons, receiver of tho Oberlin bank was issued by District Attorney Sullivan this morning, ordering him to appear' nt tho preliminary hearing of Bcckwith. and Cnshier Spear, and bring nil the Cnrnegio or Chadwick securities found in the bank. Tho vital question now is, "are theso notes forged." President Bcckwith nnd Cashier Spear nrrived hero this morning, at 10 o'clock, in chnrgo of federal officers, and were tnken at onco to tho ofllce of tho United States commissioner. Bcck with could hnvo secure I bin release on $10,000 bail, but preferred to como to Cleveland nt oncei Ho said: "Tako mo to jail, nnd let mo faco the worst.

Chadwick, did not nr rlvo in Cleveland at 7:15 o'clock this morning, as expected. It is reported that he left New York last night on a secret mission. According to tho conductor on tho Lake Shore train, young Chadwick left the train nt Ashtabula. New York, Dec. C. Andrew Carrto gio's secretary todny gave out the fol lowing statement: "Mr. Carnegie wnnts mo to say that ho does not want to bo bothered nny moro nbout this Mrs. Chadwick matte'r, and is quite nngry over this persistent uso of his name, nnd wishes it to conso at once. Onco for all I will say that ho never knew Mrs, Chadwick, or nny other such woman, and ho never signed any such pnper as tho reports credit him with doing." o It is hard t6 hit tho stock market below tho water lino. Main Contest is Over the Office of City Marshal With Only Light Vote City election is passing off quietly in tho various wards, nnd, although tho fight over the result of marshal is warm, the general trend of tho workers is pcncenblo and friendly. In ono or two wards, howevor, thero hnvo bcon nngry words, showing an un dercurrent of warmth not usually found around tho polls in minor elections. Late on Sunday evening Recorder .Tudah culled Street Commissioner Tnrp ley to his offico apd instructed that of ficial to rigidly enforco tho ordinancq providing for tho collection of tho $3 poll tax from nil voters. This crcntcd considerable argument pro nnd con, but when stlio polls opened this morning votes were cast without any regard to the poll tux provision. Voters generally resent tho require ment, considering it iiu infringement on their right of suffrage and many wero heard to condemn the obnoxious provision. In tho various wards tho two ballots offered to tho voters are headed "Re publican" and "Republican and Inde pendent." Those lntter rontnin tho names of tho regular Republican nomi nees, with the exception of marshal, and J. L. Skipton is substituted for Thos. K. Cornelius. The Republicnn workers feel that na injustice wna v practiced on tho votbrs in heading tho tickets thus, nnd spoke in denunciation of tho scheme It is feared that many of theso ballots woro enst early in tho day, and they majr hnvo some effect on tho result.
