An. ticipating -an extra sesion, Presideni Taft has tentatively arranged to spend two weeks resting in the South, pre sumably at Augusta. Democratic Majority. In the new congress the political complexion of the senate will be fifty one Republicans and forty-one Demo crats, the Republican majority of the present session 'having been reduced to ten. In the house there will be a Democratic majority of 67, as against a prescent Republican majority of 40. Reciprocity and Revision. The new congress will be called to pass the reciprocity agreement, which is not expected to reach a vote in the present senate, but the Democrats have decided, in addition to passing this agreement, to revise the wool, lumber, steel, and food products sche dules of the present law and forward this revision to the sen-ate for action. Hundreds of New Faces. A cheery, hopeful throng of indi viduals, gripsacks in hand, and with hotel and boarding house addresses in their minds, will come trooping into Washington during March to furnish the capital the always interesting pro cession of new faces. A4ll in the space of a few days new leaders will come into power, and fresh from the great country at large, the newly-elected sta.tesmen will assume their duties. President Taft will turn on the cur rent, and legislative wheels will re sume their grind. Unle Joe on the Floor. Merely hastened by a few months in its convening, the new congress will settle itself and start forward. The political upheaval of last November, when a Republican -majority of 40 in the house was changed to a Demo cratic majority of 67, will witness its consummation. In the senate there will be on the Democratic side a total of 41 members, as against the pres ent strength-of 32. In the house "Un nele Joe" Can-non will occupy a regular esea.t on the floor and gaze upward to eseek recognition of Champ Clark as speaker, just as he used to do in the --days of Henderson, Crisp, Reed, and all the old monarchs of the gavel. Mr. -Clark will, for the first time, wield the espeaker's mallet, with Oscar Under 'wood, of Alabama, as the party man 'ager on the floor. The important re ports from the ways and means comn mittee will come into the -house by another door, and the secret confer ence of leaders will be held in an .other cloakroom. iDemocratic Planis Arranged. The Democrats of the next house -will enter the extra session with many -of their reorganizatiOn plans fully shaped and ready for application. Un like the stirring times of the Demo cratic ascent to p)ower ini the Fifty second congress, 20 years a-go. after the Republican cataclysm following the passage of the McKinley tariff bill there will be no speakership wrangle. In caucus last month the Democrats voted the gavel to Champ Clark. of Missouri. and selected their share c1 the committee which is to take ir regard to tariff revision. There wil: be a complete absence of the tumo which surrounded the choice of Crisi a.s speake'r 20 years ago. Underwood. Mr-. Underwoo)d, of Alabamai, is t< hea. tie new ways and means comn mittee anid serve as Democratic flool >a.em- With him as Democratic mem bers of the tariff committee will be the following: RandeLl, of Texas. Kitchin, of North- Carolina. Hull, of Tennessee. James, of Kentucky. Brantley, of Georgia. Shackleford, of Missouri. Peters, of Massachusetts. Harrison, of New York. Palmer, of Pennsylvania. Dixon, of Indiana. Rainey, of Illinois. Hammond, of Minnesota. Hughes, of New Jersey. Will Revise the Tariff. With the fullest frankness, the Democrats have announced that after passing the reciprocity agreement this committee will proceed to work at once to devise bils for the revision of various tariff schedules. For the purpose the personnel of the committee was made up with care. Strong protection Democrats, it is as serted, were kept off the committee, and so were rampant free traders, in order that the revision might not be along radical lines. The senate is still Republican, but the growth of the insurgent spirit and so-called progressivism serve largely to weaken firm calculation of its po litical complexion in regard to the party questions soon to come, forward from the Democratic house. Even in the dying days of the present con gress there has been a tendency of the minority to test its strength as a big combining factor with the insur gents. In the next congress, with a healthy muster of forty-one, and with a willing insurgent contingent across the aisle, there is no telling to what extent the minority may have its way, especially in regard to the burning tariff questions of the hour. Wholesale Changes in the House. Speaker Clark will have many new faces to learn, for on both sides of the chamber will 'be scores of individuals who have never before appeared in the national legislative halls. The sprinkling of changes will run pretty well through the Republican side, for many members felt the jar of last No vember's election not only from the Democratic current, but from the in surgent wars. Fifteen Editors. Only six States in the u.nio'n escaped wiah their house delegations,unchang ed, most of these being communities from which but one or two congress men are sent. Rhode Island, Nevada and Idaho have brand ne w delega tions. At least fifteen editor:s of news papers are numbered among the newly elected members. T. W. Townsend of "Chimmie Fadden" fame, will occpy one of the New Jersey seats. Martin W. Littleton, who sprung to fame as a criminal lawyer in the Thaw trial, will be on hand to represent the dis trict where Oyster Bay and Theodore Roosevelt are located. He is a Demo,. crat. Some Odd Names. In fact scores of individuals whose popularity and political sagacity led themj to victory in the Democratic and ins'irgent landslide of last November will be her to answer to their names as the roll is called in the hbouse on April 4. Such names as Jacoway, Mays, Stack, Buchanan, Copley, Pep per, Prouty, Towner, Rouse, Dupre, Koenig, Lin,thicum, Parran, Curley, Doremus, Wedemeyer, Sweet, Wither spoon, Scully, Kindred, Faison and Hegelson will be sung forth from the clerk's desk for the first time in American history. Missing. Stricken froni the rolls will be many names which have been heralded through the public prints for years. '"Jim" Tawney will be missing, and so will the venerable Keifer, the suave Alexander, the mnassive Reed-er, and the adroit Calderhead, of Kansas. The genial Graff, of Illinois, willl be gone, and so will Bennet, Olcott, Fassett, Fish, Hul:l, Mc'Kinley, Fowler, May nard, Campbell, Parsons, and many others whose constitutents have re called them to private life. Changes in Staff. Not on!ly will there be changes in plenty within the house on the 4th of April, but there will be an exodus of clerks of long service, watchmen and doorkeeper-s. A new sergeant-at-arms will make his appearance, a new clerk of the house, a new postmaster, and new floor assistants. In coming into their own the Democrats have plan ned to make the changing process thorough. Many of the present list of 600 employes of Republican patronage are already casting about for their next.job. Personinel of the New Senate. Considering its relative size, the changes in the -United States senate on the convening of the extra session will be as marked as those in the house. The last of the fanious "big six" who have been identified promi nently in steering legislation in that body for !he. last 20 years, will have depa rted. T'hey are- Euge'ne Hale andl Nelson W.

Deadlocks in New York and Mon tana are delaying the disclosure of: the Democrats who are to succeed the Republicans, Chauncey M. Depew and Thomas H. Carter, but the selections sooner or later -are assured. There are also deadlocks in Iowa, where La fayette Young is to be succeeded by another Republican, and in Colorado where the Democratic legislature is endeavoring to elect a senator to the vacancy caused by the death of thel 1late Charles J Hughes. * Return of John Sharp Williams. Something of a thrill will be expe rienced by Washington when no less a person than John Sharp Williams, hero of many a forensic struggle in the house "in days gone by, merges from private life and stalks down the senate aisle to take the seat vacated by Hernando D. Money, of Mississippi. Senatorial elections in Mississippi are held long in advance of a predeces sor's retirement. Mr. Williams has been waiting nearly three years to as sume his toga. Mi:les Poindexter, of Washington,l will pass over from the house to as sume the place of his -fellow Republi can Senator Piles. Allegiance to a pro-, gressive platform got Poindexter to' the senate, just as it did John D. Work, who succeeds Senator Flint, of California. Senator Bulkeley, of Connecticut, gives way to G. P. McLean, of Hart ford. Luke Lea, of Nashville, Tenn., is scheduled to suceed Senator Fra zier and become the youngest member of the senate, whi'le Senator Taliafer ro, of Florida, will be succeeded by N. F. Bryan.
