ONG OPENED YESTERDAY C( ucnses Have Removed Obstacles Whlih Threateqjed Trouble. An Vqual Suffrage Amendment is First n~' Order. \ ashington, Dec. 5.-On the eve of the sixty fourth congress Washington tonight was enlivened by the arrival of hundreds of visitors attracted by the opening of congress, the conven tion of the Congressional Union or Woman Suffrage, which begins ton~ r row and the meeting of the National Democratic committee Tuesday. House and senato Democrats com pleted their organization plans yes terday after a week of deliberation during which obstaclep which threat ened to disturb the harmonious open ing were overcome. The senate Dem ocrats agreed not to make the fight for a cloture rule a party issue and the house majority found a way to take care of the greatly increased republi can minority on committees. Legisla ive issuqs did ,ot Mure matedpily In tile preliminary conferences, hi though the subjects of national do fAnse and extension of American mer chant marine were generally recog nized as paramouuit in the delibera tions over committee assignments. Both houses will convene at noon. In the lower branch the ifst order of business will be the selection of a speaker. Champ Clark 1fill be noini fiated by the majority (229) for re election and Representative. Mann of Illinois, will be proposed by the Re publicans (197). Speaker Clark, whose reelection with the other majority nominees for house 6fflices is assured upon taking the chair, will rec6gnize Representa tive Frank -Mondell, of Wyoming. This will signalize a demonstration for woman suffrage, the Wyoming mem ber having been chosen to introduce the Susan B. Anothy constitutional amendment for equal suffrage as the first resolution of the new congress. The speake''s gallery will be crowded II With Wom . jn the Shnate. The senate wilf convne with Vice President Marshall absent, -owing to the illness of Mrs. Marshall. It will bjo called to order by Secretary Baker and the first business -will be the in iuguration of newly elected members, to be followed., immediately by the Alection of a .president pro tempore. Senator James P. Clarke, of Arkan aas, will be elected to succeed himself, having been nominated by the Demo cratic caucus last week. Republican senators plan to nominate Senator Gallinger, of New Hampshire, who will continue as minority leader. In both houses there will be the us ual flood of new bills introduced. Among them will be various measures on the subject of national defense and the attendant problem for raising~ in cretased revenue. There also will be the government merchant marine bill prepared after conferences between Secretary McAdoo and -Secretary Red field. In these will center chief inter lst3of 'the Session, and they will be clieussed by tile President when he addresses' the Joint eston on Tueday. Other important measures to be aonsidored include rural credits neindments to the Sherman laws to xid American firms in extending for Dign trade, the Philippine bills, conser vation, and tariff problems. ' It is almost certain that the war tax will be reenacted and amended and the income tax revised. Oie ground for more optimistic feeling- among administration leaders Is the turn that affairs have taken in the senate toward a merchant marine bill. Now that a measure has been proposed which would build up gov ernment merchant marine as an auxil lary to the navy, several Democratic senators, among them Senator Clarke, of Arkansas, who fought the ship pur chase bill to death at the last session, have said they would favor such a measure. The six Progressives of the house today decided not to attempt a I)arty organization now. Each will act ac cording to his individual views with oit reference to party. J. C.
