Cannon Re-Elected Speaker; Crowds Cheer Leader. The Sixtieth Congress, the termination of which will end a century and two decades of lawmaking, began at noon Monday. Col. Hepburn, chairman of the Republican caucus, which had decided unon Ln:le oe as a

' successor to himself, nominated the Illinois member. The chair

man of the Democratic caucus placed John Sharp William., of Mississippi, the minority s candi date, before the house as the proper man to be ejected leader. Aobody was at all surprises when "Uncle Joe" won in a walk. Announcement of the result was made by the tellers, two Republican and -two Democratic members, selected by the clerk, and then the newly elected speaker was escorted to the rostrum by a committee headed by his rival, the Mississippian. Crowds of men and women who in their way represent the citizenship, the chivalry aid the fashion of the country at the national capital, thronged the Senate an l House galleries to witness the inauguration of a new Congress. Hundreds who came late packe! the gallery corridors and waited with varying degrees of patience for the ticket-holders and early birds , to become bored and depart so as to give them a chance near the finish to say that they had seen and heard something of the curtain-raiser to the winter's session. The star figure in the stage

' setting was a rank outsider, in so

far as the personnel of Congress is concerned, but one who is far from being a noncombatant in the politics that underlie the present situation. W. J. Bryan of Nebraska it was. An actor without a set part, he walked upon the floor of the House fifteen minutes before the gavel fell, evokiner full five minutes o cheers, handclapping and yells from his party colleagues there gathered, and equally tumultous enthusiasm among his admirers in the galleries. Bryan, the foreordained candi date for the presidency on the Democratic ticket, was not there merelv for show. For three hours he was he busiest personage in sicrht. Under the spell of his - - r magnetism the Democratic min ority grew enthusiastic over the attack made upon the House rules, and in a series of personal conferences individual members

hear from his lips the outline . of policies which he insists shall

be followed to shape the charac ter of the approaching national campaign. An attack upon the House g rules is an incident to the open ing day of every Congress. Rare ly, however, as happened Mon day, does a member of the welldisciplined majority kick yer the traces. Representative Cooper of Wisconsin, who has been chairman of the committee on insular affairs ever since its creation, had the temerity to give utterance to convictions which many of his colleagues hold but dare not express.Speaker Cannon had made his salutatory speech and was in the chair, and John Sharp Williams, the minority leader, had made the protest for his side against the adoption of the rules which place -so much power in the hands of the presiding officer. Then, as Mr. Williams concluded, Mr. Cooper arose and shot his bolt. He declared that the rules were all wro: -that the speaker and two men . m the speaker appointed to i effect his will had absolute say as to what legislation should be considered. Members were dependent absolutely upon the speaker for recognition to get unanimous consent to have a measure called up. In Mr. Cooper's opinion the system was unrepublican and undemocratic. It was Coopers contention that the speaker, like the speaker of the house of commons, should be merely a presiding officer, and he declared that Mr. Cannon could lead his party better or. the floor, with freedom of action allowed . to all members. The . attack forced Speaker Cannon to come to the defense of his office, and this he did, after Mr. DeArmond of Missouri, had followed Mr. -Cooper. In summing up he said: 'The chair desires to state that the speaker of the House is the servant cf the House, and it is in the power of the House of Representatives, as a question of the highest privilege, at any time to elect a successor to any member who may hold this great Office. When special orders or special rules are made, as they have been made under all administrations, at least for twenty years, no rule can foe vitalized, can become) effective, until a majority of the House has adopted it under the constitution and rules of the House. , When the majority of the House acts under the constitution anl the laws no speaker would dare fail to obey them. The will of the majority always, for thirty-four years to my

knowledge, lias been the law to the sneaker."

Mr. Bryan was one of the most interested listeners to the clash m ever the rules, ami Lv nods and whisperede sentences approved the points made by the minority. Declares Balloons no Good as Fighters. In a lecture to the students of the engineering department of the Drexcl Institute, at Philadel phia, Dr. T. Chalmers Fulton, president of the Ben Franklin Association of America, declared that balloons can never be utilized for practical work as instruments of war. Dr. Fulton's subject was "Aerial Travel," and he discussed all known classes of air craft. The balloon, he said, is about the same as it was ten years ago, and is useful only for meteorological or geograhpical research, photographic studies or sport. He referred to the recent trip of the Pommerin, in which the big bal loon passed directly over the forts on Governor's island, N Y. saying: The people in the balloon at the time could peer down into the forts and take in everv de ad of the workings, but they would have found it harder to Iron a bomb inside the fortificaions. Anything dropped trom a galloon must have the same veocity as the balloon itself, and it might not reach the ground until a great distance away from he object at which it was aimed "No matter how fast the bal loon travels any object thrown from it reaches the ground in a nlumb line under the basket. This same fact is true of dirigi bles. though this style of airship has the additional disadvantage of being unable to go high enough for safety.". After reviewing the work hat has been done toward perfecting heavier than air living machines Dr. v niton said that no success ful machine can be built unti man patterns after nature, tie urged the flapping wing style o machine as having advantages over the aeroplane, and said tha when a practical flying machine is perfected it will be capable o traveling 150 miles an hour. Seek Hoggatt's Job. Wilford B. Hoggatt, Govcrnoi of Alaska, will have to fight foi his official existence. Powerful interests in the far-away domain over which he presides have de termined to depose him, if possible. Charges have been prepared and are now on the va and it is expected that Hoggarl will arrive at Washingon soon to tell the President his side oi the story. Hoggatt is an Indiana ;man and was raised at Boonville, where his relatives reside. Aftei an honorable career in the navy. President Roosevelt appointed him as chief executive of Alaska. For some time influential capitalists, for reasons best known to .themselves, have been trying to secure the organization of a territorial form of government .in Alaska as a substitute for the present simple method of governing through the Interior Department. Hoggatt has fought them at every step, believing tnat a territorial government, with its extensive machinery of a Legislature and other departments, would entail a heavier expense upon the people of Alaska than would be justified. By Jiis aggressive attitude he has created fierce antagonisms, and his foes have determined to go after his official scalp. The details of their charges have not been revealed, but it is understood they accuse him of favoritism toward certain trusts and capitalistic combinations. It will take substantial evidence to displace Hoggatt, as the President has observed his career closely, from the time he joined the navy and has often spoken highly of him. -, , . Congress Gets a Long Message. President Roosevelt's first message to the Sixtieth Congress was read in both Houses Mon day. The document is very long (nearly 30,000 words) and deals with many important topics. Among these are the tariff, mon ey, railroads, law enforcement, capital and labor and the army and navy. Members of both Houses were in their seats early to hear the reading of the docu ment. I he usual committees from the Senate and House call ed 'on the President early and notified him that Congress was ready to hear any communica tion that he might have to send in. Alter the message was re ceived there was little delay in beginning the reading. The gal leries contained an unusual number of visitors, many of whom were women. Saved from Terrible Death. The three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Addison Snell of Wanatah, had a very narrow es cape from death. While the mother was at wdrk washing she was using some concentrated lye which she had prepared and placed it in a cup on the kitchen cabinet. The little girl who was eating bread thinking that the cup contained water took a drink of it. She at once dropped the cup and began to scream, which attracted the mother, who immediately, realiizng what was ailing the child, gave it some mill: o drink, which probably saved its' life. A physician was also called and after a few hours of hard work the child was brought out of danger.

Incidentally there is suggestion tor an investigation o determine whether officers and directors of national banks should ever be allowed to loan to themselves peculiarly fitting in - view oi some cases now occupying the attention of the courts. I'lie Senate finance committee began considering the currency subject almost before the reading of the President's message was finished. i.

the matter is immediately after such election. I he idea is to leave the. tariff severly alone tern porarilv except in one important particular, where crying need for action exists. 1 his exception is the tariff on wood pulp. The diminishing forests are in the President's mind as one reason for his recommendation. If pos sible he would have the repeal of the duty accomplished by an agreement with Canada that there shall be no export. A. inheritance and income . laws the President would have considered at the time when the tariff is revised . There should be considera tion i rv 4i, w jiii:i t." iiiu in I iu ivtion question, he says, to the end that a way may be devised to limit its abuse. This is the first feature of a special programme relating to questions arising , be tween labor and capital. An em plovers liability act is urged, and the President would strengthen the laws regarding safety appli ances on railroads whoever they are weak. He favors the cxten ion of the' eight-hour dav," and would nave provision lor compulsory investigation oi indus trial disputes, holding up the re cent telegraph strike as a case where such provision would have been of immense value to the public. By no means of last im portance are recommendations for further investigation and leg islation with a view to wiping out cinid lanor and minimizing the evils of the employment of women. i. i iiau our irreat river svs terns should be devlopcd as nationai water nignwavs, tue .Mis sissippi with its tributaries standing first in importance, is among the recommendations, and that the present will make a beginning is the President's hope. He implores especial attention for the Missis sippi, and declares that from the great lakes to the mouth of the Father of Waters there should be a deep water way, with deep wat er ways leading to it from the Fast and West. Combined with the deep water ways policy are outlines of plans for reclamation work, the conservation of public lands and mineral and fuel lands and the preservation of the for ests. 7. A postal savings system, as recommended by Postmaster General Meyer, is pressed upon tue attention oi vongress anu favorable consideration recommended. Aside trom the primary object of encouraging thrift among tue people, , the auvantages oi tue system are declared to oe sun more iar-reacning m view of the experience of the few weeks last past. It is contended that through the agency ot postal savings hanks hoarded money would oe restored to me cnaniii ...... i . nels of trade, to the mutual beneht ot capital and labor, the par- " . . eels )Ost system also is earnestly Commended. . nie army and tne navy. Most important in the list of recommendations irom one view is i . ? rmat lor lour new name snips. it the t'rcsidents recommendalion oe earned out, it will PC me .1 ! .I beginning of a new era in the upbuilding and maintenance of the American navy, which President Koosevei declares is tue greatest essential to the preservation of peace with the rest of the world. There arc recommendations for reforms in the navy personnel, so that merit shall be thc prime thing that counts in promotion, T 111 . and to retire, especially in thc navy, officers at a younger age than now is possible, so as to get the best there is out of officers of flag rank. Increase of pay for army officers, and also and more especially for the enlisted men, is demanded to keep the army even on a peace foot in.

These features, as grouped above, may "be said to comprise the particularly important elements of the Roosevelt policy for the future. In the second sentence of his first paragraph, the President struck a chord which ought to ring in the ears of the country like a cathedral chime. It is the sentence warning the people against the folly of hoarding their cash.

In his message the President further assures the country upon two vital points that honest business need fear nothing from his policies; that he has taken no back track in his crusade against dishonestv in high life or in iow life.

One Crop Worth $70,842.70. What is believed to be the

argest check ever paid to anv one wheat grower in the North west has just been received by a Pendleton, Ore., farmer for the season's crop raised on about ,000 acres of Umatilla wheat and. The check was drawn bv he Pacific Elevator Company or $70,842.70. All eastern Oregon has had a manner crop year, producing G,000,000 bushels, or 1 per cent of he total wheat crop of the Unit ed States. Actual crop failure was never known in that section, and many who began work there a few years ago with an .ox cart are now riding in ' automobiles. art of the wheat acreage is leas ed from the Indians o' the Umailla reservation, who derive an income of about $200,000 a year rom this source. Along the main line of the Or egon Railroad and Navigation Company lies the Government s Umatilla reclamation project, which within a year or two will add 20,000 acres of fertile land to the productive area of this seclon. This project has already stimulated the territory affected o such an extent as wholly to change its character. Tha principal town, Hermiston, has sprung out of the dry plains and now. with a population of 500, tas several rapidly growing riv als. Part of the land included in the Government's reclamation project will come under cultivation next vear, and p. larger part of 20,000 acres will be readv for cultivation in 1009. The engi neering work necessary to the transformation of this territory from sage-brush desert to productive farming land is simple, consisting of a feed canal from river to reservoir and a distribut ing system that can be completed in a short time. Shower of Ashes Falls in Alaska A special cable to Portland, Orecron from Nome, Alaska. says : Nome and probably the en tire Seward peninsula is shrouded in an ashy haze and the ground for miles is covered sev eral inches deep with a fine grit ty powder which is believed to be volcanic ashesl The storm began several days ago. the dust blowing in from the ocean, but at first little attention was paid to the freak of nature, as it was ex pected that it would soon cease. Instead, however, the fall con tinned; and after a day became so dense as seriously to interfere with out-door pursuits. Miners coming into town re ported that for miles the snowwas so impregnated with the ashes that sledding was almost impossible. Further, the air; is so full of ashes that breathing is difficult, and the fine powder was sifted into houses and business places to such an extent that it is thick on the floors and on every thing in the way of goods and household furniture. It is be lieved thaf some one of the 'num erous volcanic islands, either be tween the Pacific coast and Si beriaf or, more probably, those islands in the Alaskan pcry'nsula or the Aleutian islands, are again in eruption- and that the ashy downpour is the result. No ser ious results are expected, but much inconvenience is being caused by the peculiar storm. Farewell to James Barton.

Bids for the new Panama canal bond issue continue to be received at the Treasury Department at Washington and the officials are confident that the $50,000.000 will be largely bver-snb-the number of bids which had been received at 4:30 o'clock Monday afternoon placed the total at about 2,000 and judging from statements made in person or by letter to the Treasury Department it is thought that there will be a number ranging from $2,000,000 to $5,000.000 and over. The prices offered, it is confidently believed, wijl be entirely satisfactory from the Treasury point of view. Senator Owens, of Oklahoma, who was a caller at the White House Monday, said he had been assured that Oklahoma would receive the $5.000.000 due from the Nationdl Government appropriated in lieu of school lands in thc Indian Territory, next week. This money, he said, would be deposited by the State in State banks without delay, thus relieving the financial situation in Oklahoma .and the income of the State will be greater because of the higher rate cf interest which will be paid by the State banks. A committee consisting of the Governor and other officers, will be appointed to invest this money and utilize the income in public improvements in the new State. Until these investments have been arranged the money will "remain on deposit in the State banks. Congress at Sea. Both houses of Congress are more at sea concerning legislation than at any previous session. Both parties arc thus afflicted. One question is uppermost in the mind of practically every member oKboth parties. This is the financial situation. But while leaders cf both parties are thinking on this subject, it does not follow that they are all of one mind as to the course remedial legislation shall take. One thing can be said with certainty, and that is that no one knows what course remedial legislation will take looking toward a remedy for the situation. ' Kaiser Burned in Effigy. Monster indignation meetings were held at Lemburg and other towns in Galicia in protest against the expropriation of Polish landholders in Prussia. Great hostility was displayed against Chancellor von Buelow and Baron von Aehrenthal, thc German foreign minister. Effigies of Emperor William and Baron von Aehrenthal were burned amidst insulting cries, and a strong force of police was summoned to protect the German consulate at Lemburg, against mob violence.

Thc third assistant ostmaster general, A. L. Lawshc -iu his annual report gives the'abaw figures, and with it quotes the? amount of the postal deficit ii 1D0G, which was $10,5in,0;X The third assistant postmaster general goes at length into a discussion of the troubles wiiich vex publishers and those who have to do with the second class postage rates. A ruling has been made newspapers and periodicals, which will be put in force in ai few days. It is in effect that the publisher shall be allowed to. mail sample copies at the pound rate to a limit of 10 per cent o his bona fide subscription list. It is recommended that the money order system be extended to every jxistoffiee in the United States. "All postoffices transact registry business," says Mr. Lawshe. "Why noi money order business?". The passage of a bill providing for a form of postal note whereby sums of money less than $2.50 may be sent through the mail cheaply is recommended.
