PUBLIC GALLERIES ARE PACKED. Hall of Representatives Presented Bril liant Appearance With the Elaborate Decorations Made for the Occasion. Speaker Henderson Greeted. . Washington, Dec. 1.—The second session of the fifty-seventh congress convened at noon today. The hall of representatives present ed a brilliant scene for the opening of the session. During the recess the chamber had been decorated througn- out. The old color of scheme of gold and carmine will be preserved, but the fresh colors served to lighten tho general effect. The famous paintings of Bierstad, “The Discovery of the Hudson,’’ and “The Landing of the Verbian Expedition at Monterey, Cal., In 1621,” which formerly hung iu panels on either side of the speaker’s rostrum, have been removed to the lobby in the rear and in their place a full length portrait of Washington and Lafayette. Public Galleries Packed. Although the gavel was not to fail until noon, the public galleries were packed soon after they were thrown open at 10 o’clock, and the sections re served for the families and friends of members were also filled early. The opening of congress is a society as well as a political event, and in the galleries were many handsomely gowned' society women. There was the usual flower display, although it was. perhaps, not as elab orate as upon some similar occasions in the past. It was noticeable that the victorious party in the recent cam paign did not monopolize the entire flower show. By 11 o’clock the air was heavy with the odors of perfumes and the hall buzzed with the steady hum of conversation from the throngs in the surrounding galleries. Shortly after 11 o’clock the mem bers began arriving, the greetings ex changed seemingly being equally co*- dial whether they were between po lltical friends or enemies. Took Raillery Good Naturedly. The Democrats who were returning after their fifth successive defeat took the raillery of the Republicans good naturedly. It was generally remarked upon in the galleries that the most elaborate floral pieces were on the desks of Mr. Connell, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Loud, of California, two Republicans who were defeated for re-election. At 11:45 o’clock the doorkeeper di rected bis assistants to clear the floor ot ail persons not entitled to remain during the session. Meantime mem bers were entering the floor from the lobbies, and there was much confu sion. The leaders on both sides were surrounded and greeted as they found their way to their desks, but there were no demonstrations. Mr. Cannon, of lllionis, whose elec tion as speaker of the next house is already assured, was besieged by his colleagues and could with difficulty find a way to his desk. Mr. Payne, of New Y’ork, the floor leader of the majority, Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsylva- n.a, and Mr. Richardson, the minority leader, and other prominent members also held impromptu receptions. Henderson Greeted With Applauae. Three minutes before the hour of noon the doors from the rear lobby swung open and Speaker Henderson entered. He was immediately sur rounded by members and held a re ception upon the marble steps of the rostrum until the hands of the clock met. Then exactly at 12 o’clock, noon, he ascended to his place. A great outburst of applause greeted him as he faced the house and gal leries. With several vigorous whacks of the gavel the sipeaker stilled the demonstration. In the hush that fol lowed the blind chaplain. Rev. Cou- den, offered up prayer, fervently in voking divine blessing upon the pres ident, the government, the members of congress and the work of the ses sion. When he had concluded the speaker directed the clerk to call the roll. Immediately a babel of voices broke out afresh and in the volume of sound that filled the hall the calls of the clerk could hardly be distinguish ed. So great was the confusion that the speaker was obliged to bring the house to order, and to admonleh both the members and the spectator* In the galleries to preserve order. The roll call then proceeded. The customary resolution Instruct ing the clerk to inform the senate that the house was reai'y to do busi- ness and fixing the hour of meeting at noon was adopted. Mr. Brandege of Connocticut, then announced the death of hie predecessor, Mr. Russell, and following the usual forms of re gret. These were adopted, and a: 1:56 p. m., as a further mark of re spect, the house adjourned until to morrow. IN THE SENATE. Resolutions of Regret Adopted Over Death of Senator McMillan. Washington, Dec. 1.—The scene in the senate chamber today when the body began the work of the fifty-sev enth congress was a brilliant one. Jjong before noon, when President Pro- Tern. Frye brought his gavel down and ogpened the proceedings the gal leries began filling up. Every *eat was soon occupied, and hundreds stood outside the corridors clamoring for admission. Thu floor of the senate was a verit able garden of flowers, chrysanthe mums and violets spreading their fra grance throughout the chamber. Many of the floral pieces were magnificent and completely hid the desks from view. Without distinction of party, senators moved from one side of the chamber to the other and renewed old acquaintances. The old scores, made in the heat of debate in the last session, had cooled off and everywhere it was noted that the best of feeling prevailed. The familiar figure of Sen ator James McMillan, of Michigan, who was beloved by his associates^ was missing and universal sorrow was again expressed over his demise. The customary resolutions were adopted notifying the house that the senate was reatij to proceed to busi ness, appointing a committee to join with one from the house to wait on the president and inform him that con gress was assembling and fixing the hour of meeting at 12 o’clock. Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, then an nounced the death of his colleague, James McMillan. He spoke with great emotion and briefly referred to the life and services of the dead sen ator. Resolutions of regret were offered and unanimously adopted, and as a further mark of respect the sen ate at 12:12 p. m. adjourned until 12 o’clock tomorrow. Alabama lumber industry.
