(Second and Last Ses
Congress Convene
A BRILLIANT SCENE!
Flowers and Fair Women Added
Luster to the Occasion?Opening
Session
Very Brief.
A Washington special says: With
the senate in session thirteen miantes i
sjid the house fifty-three minutes, the
Ppf last session of the fifty-eighth confpress
was assembled Monday f.t noon.
< / i The time of both bodies was devoted
!%./ ; ' entirely to the usual formalities of
pfe opening day. There were the greet
I! jugs uecwtftm memuers illc uurtu
display, and the hundreds of visitors,
,with beautifully gowned women prec
dominating, corridors, committee
rooms were thronged. The bustle extended
even to the floors of the cham -
hers.
The gavels of Senator Frye, president
pro tern, of the senate, and Speak^?r
Cannon, of the house, fell exactly
at 12 o'clock. The opening prayers
'.were made by the chaplains, R,ev. Ed?
ward Everett Hale, D. D., in the senplito
and Rev. H. N. Couden, in the
) house. In both house and senate committees
were appointed to wait, on the
president to inform him that congress
.was ready to receive any communication
he had to send. Resolutions of
respect to the memory of the late
^ Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, and
. Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania were
adopted by both houses, and the ob^
Jections taken were in further tribute
to their memory.
'The only business outside of the us- j
ual first-day routine was the adoption j
K of. a resolution in the house extending j
until January 5, 1905, the time withn j
which the merchant marine eommis-1
Bion may make its report.
The opening was under the usual
interesting conditions and amid those
scenps that for years have made the
re-assembling of congress among the
notable events of the country.

I corridors and crowded into the galleries
to witness the formal proceedings.
From one end of the capitol building
to the other busy tread of statesmen
and the flutter of femininity distinguished
the occasion from any other
in the official or social calendar of the
From the lethargy which has characterized
Washington since early in
the spring, the city awakened to a j
new era and heralded with apparen* |
joy the day which opens both the of- j
ficial and social seasons.
Many newly-elected members were !
at "the capital, although they will not j
enter office until after March 4th. }
A particularly sad feature of the re- j
assembling was the "absence of kindly r
faces grown old in the service- of the
country.
The galleries, rather than tie floor,
proved the center of attraction, for
rows upon rows of handsomely gownad
women looked down upon, the j
Bt&tesmen who grouped about the \
chamber or strolled in and out of the j
cloak rooms to exchange greetingsj
with old friends or to recognize new j
opes.
Many members of borh bodies were
flooded with reminiscences in the form
of floral pieces and the chambers presented
an appearance which they never
know on any other occasion. Bas
I kets and clusters of bright roses,
chrysanthemums ant} other fall flow'
ers covered the desks. Though rain
v and sleet fell during the entire morning,*
these discomforts were insuffi- j
cient to mar the success of the event.
For an hour or more preceding the
calling of the house to order by
Speaker Cannon, the members slowly
:&led into the chamber and--exchanged :
DEATH CLAIMS TYNER. j
Former Postmaster General and Na-1

I greetings. Some came in for hearty
congratulations, while others received
the sincere regrets of colleagues, who
on account of their misfortune at thfc
polls were meeting together for possibly
the last time. The republicans,
fresh from their recent victory, gathered
in groups and talked over the
late campaign, while their democratic
brethren gave no outward sign of having
suffered defeat. Men c> both parties
freely intermingled and discussed '
the issues of the last election and its
results, the democrats good naturedly
taking the thrusts and gibes heaped
upon them in friendly conversation by
their victorious opponents. Good fellowship
prevailed throughout.
IN THE SENATE.
The senate convened promptly at
noon. The first senator in his seat
was Mr. Piatt, of New York. Long
before 12 o'clock the galleries were
filled, but the buzz of conversation
ceased abruptly when President Pro
Tem Frye's gaven fell. v
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, D. D.,
chaplain of the senate, offered prayer.
Two seats had been vacated by death
?those of Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,
and Quay, of Pennsylvania.
Many eyes were turned sorrowfully toward
the desks so long occupied by
these men, who had grown old in the
public service. Their successors, Senators-elect
Crane, of Massachusetts,
and Knox, of Pennsylvania, attended
the session, but fhey will not occupy
the seats assigned them until they are
formally sworn in.
The floral decorations were equal to
those of any session in the history of
the senate. Many desks were overflowing
with the offerings, and the senate
force was occupied from 11 until
12 o'clock in arranging them so senators
could take their seats. The largest
single tribute was placed on the
desk of Senator Tillman, of South.Carolina.
'
When Senator Fairbanks, the vice
president-elect entered the chamber he
was greeted warmly by many of his
colleagues. The visitors applauded
his entrance with cheers and handclaDDinsr.
After prayer the roll was called and
seventy-three senators responded.
Then the flowers were removed and
the routine business of the session
opened. At 12:13 the body adjourned,
having been in session just . thirteen
minutes.
This will be the short session of the
fifty-eighth congress and a notably interesting
one, for with the inauguration
of President Roosevelt the session
will go out in a blaze of glory. Only
once iq four years does congress have I
an opportunity to wind up its affairs
under the historic condtions which
will prevail next March.

was entered early Monday morning
somewhere between Needles and Daggett,
Texas, and Vena. O. Roberts, the
express Messenger, shot and fatally
! wounded and the way safe rifled.
{ The Wells-Fargo company was expecting
a large shipment, of United
States pension money, totaling $200,I
000, it is said, and it is possible that
| this shipment may have been on the
I train. It is known that the local offiJ
cials were greatly exercised over the
| robbery, and at Barstow placed a subj
stitute messenger on board the car,
with order? to guard everything in it
with the greatest secrecy.
The robbery was not discovered un*til
the train reached Daggett. Conductor
Hawes opened the door of the
express car at Daggett and found MesJ
senger Roberts lying on the floor of
j the car in a semi-conscious condition
| and the contents of the rifled safe
scattered about the car. Roberts was
so seriously wounded that he was unable
to tell how the robbery occurred,

: lv after the train left Needles and had
started to open the door when the
man, ^vhom he took to be a negro,
sprang inside. Before the messenger
could draw his revolver the bandit
opened fire, wounding Roberts mortally.
The bullet struck Roberts in the
left breast, passing through his body.
Roberts fell to the floor and the robber
immediately went to the open safe
and took what he wanted of the contents.
He then opened the door and
jumped out. Roberts was' so badly
hurt that he was unable to make an
outcry.
The bolt on the door at the end of
the express car was broken, showing
that the robber had used force in gaining
entrance.
The interior of the car indicated
| that the messenger had made a game
I resistance and grappled with the robi
ber before being overpowered and
j finally shot by him.
After rifling the safe the robber
! leaped from the car while the train
was running at full speed.

that about two hundred addition-al
Italians will be brought to Charleston

yard and the granite quarry.
The arrival of these men should not
ho confounded with the immigration
{movement, for under the South Caroliina
law the immigrants are restricted
to people from northern Europe. The
Italians are coming here simply to labor

contract they will return north and
not as permanent residents or colonists.

Figures Cause Tremendous Surprise

A Washington special says: Pre- v-^

agriculture show a total production vj
of cotton in the Unied States in the
years 1904-05 of 12,161,000 bales.

The party was locked In the private
office of the statistician, and reports .
from all the cotton districts were
taken into the room. The doors J|
were locked from the outside, and the- '
secretary then gave orders for th? g-. ?
opening of the report. The estimate *
of the crop for the year
was then prepared, and sent out before
any person in the room was permitted

A Tremendous Surprise.
A New York special says: The
. government estimate for the cotton
crop placing .the yield at 12,162,00#
bales, issued Saturday, was a surprise
to more people than any government
report of recent years. While a V
few of the more extreme bears had
been talking 12,000,000 bales or oyer^
the average opinion even in bearish
circles locally was that the government
estimate would be under that AgThe
announcement was followed by
another sensational break in prices.
The decline that has been in progress
now for over a month and carried tie
market down from 11 cents to 8 -1-2
cents proved insufficient'in the, estimation
of the trade to frilly reflect the ?
new condition of affairs, and a crop
of the size reported. There was undoubtedly
a big short interest in the
market but in spite of covering/
prices declined nearly half a bent In
less than half an hour of trading. ,
January, which sold around 8.56 dur* t
ing the forenoon, was depressed to v
about 8.10 and other months suffering
in like measure. The market was .
very excited with trading exceedingly ^
active.
Disappointment to Planters. ..
There is no doubt about the tact that
the government coton crop re- (
port estimating the present season's
crop at 12162,000 bales will prove
J i.? >
a serious disappointment to the planters
all over the south.
The recent decline has given ah in- ? j
dication of the trend of things, but,
despite all that, and despite the 11,800,000-baIe
estimate the frlanfers, .?
have been nursing the hope of.some-,
thing better when the government estimate
came out.
Everywhere cotton is being held for
10, and in some cases, for 12 cents; '
the government estimate smashes,
th^se hopes for some months to come,'
at least, and, perhaps permanently, so ' * |
far as the present season's crop in co-w-r,'^
cerned.
But far from making the planters $
rush into the market, the effect of the
government report will undoubtedly,
be to make them even hold on to their
cotton tighter than ever, hoping
against hope, it may be, but hoping,
nevertheless, for something better in the
fatnre.
