WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.— Of the 120,172
claimed by the State of New York for expenses
incurred in aiding the United States to raise
a vplunteer army in the war with Spain, tha
Comptroller of the Treasury only allowed $5587.
Liberals Surrender. Their Arms.
PANAMA, Dec. 1.— Official news re
ceived from the interior states that the
Liberals already are surrendering their
arms to the Government .commissioners.
The celebrations of independence will end
to-day. They have been marked by un
usual enthusiasm.. -I ..-.•-. ,
Minister Concha, having stood fast
against strong representations from his
own Government favoring a treaty, tho
latter decided to place the further nego
tiations In the hands of Dr. Herran. It
is, of course, assumed from this change
that the chances of the treaty have been
bettered.
Members .of both, houses await with
great interest the words of the Presi
dent's message - touching- upon the canal
question. There." is a decided feeling 1
against recent actions of the Colombian
Government, and Representative . Hep
burn, chairman of the House Committee
on* Interstate and Foreign Commerce,
said' to-day: :
"I firmly believe that If Congress was
brought face to face with the decision as
to which route should now be adopted It
would decide unhesitatingly in favor of
Nicaragua."
Representatives of Nicaragua and
Costa Rica have distinctly stated to the
State Department that they are not dis
posed to take part In any bargain-counter
deal, but should at any time the negotia
tions with Colombia come to an end, or
should the treaty with Colombia fail In
the Senate, they stand ready to sign the
agreement which Hay has drawn up and
which gives the United States all that
is asked for. This fact will be brought
out in the first canal discussion precipi
tated in the Senate, and ¦ is expected to
have some weight on the question of tho
ratification of a treaty with Colombia,
should a negotiation result in such a
document.
CALL. BUREAU. 140« G STREET.
N. W., WASHINGTON. Dec 1--
Senatora and Representatives In
terested in canal legislation learn*
ed to-day that an agreement
amounting practically to a treaty
with Nicaragua and Costa Rica had been
drawn up by Secretary Hay which th»
representatives of these two countries
have announced their willingness to sign.
This agreement provides for the acces
sion by both countries of a canal strip
over which the United States is to have
undisputed control. For this cession Nic
aragua is to receive J5.000.000 and Costa
Rica $1,000,0(30.
Meanwhile Senor Concha, the Colom
bian Minister, whose course of action has
been a source of dissatisfaction to th«
State Department, has retired from ne
gotiations, which after having been sus
pended for a week, it 13 now announced,
will be resumed. Senor Concha's retire
ment at this time is considered equiva
lent to his recall. Concha has been re
lieved by orders from Bogota and it Is
believed that Dr. Thomas Herran. tho
present Secretary of Legation here, will
bo accredited as Minister • to succeed
Concha In the course of a few days.
Meanwhile Dr. Herran has been clothed
by his Government with full authority to
prosecute the negotiations looking to a
canal treaty with considerably enlarged
powers. ¦ "

The' customary resolutions were adopt
ed, notifying the House that the Senate
was ready to proceed to business, ap
pointing a' committee to "join with one
from the House to wait upon the Presi
dent and inform him that Congress was
assembled, and also fixing the hour of
meeting as 12 o'clock.
President pro tem,. Frye appointed
Platt of Connecticut and Jones of Ar
kansas as the committee to' wait upon
the President. .
NBurrows of Michigan* then ' announced
the death of his colleague, James McMil
lan. He spoke with great emotion and
briefly referred to the life and services of
the dead Senator. Resolutions of regret
were offered and unanimously adopted,
and as a further mark of respect the
Senate at 12:12 p. m. adjourned until 12
o'clock to-morrow. ;
Instead of the customary, black drapery
there was placed on the desk formerly
occupied by the late Senator McMillan a
sheaf of bridal roses and palms, tied
with white satin ribbons. A number ot
the diplomatic corps occupied > seats In
the galleries reserved for them.
Frye ascended the rostrum at noon and
a hush feir upon the assemblage, while
the Rev. J."F." Prettyman, who took the
place of Dr. Mllburn, pronounced the in
vocation. The. clerk called the roll and
sixty-eight Senators responded to their
names. •"'¦ '
TBIBTJTE TO Mvovm-.T, a tt
The scene in the Senate chamber was a
brilliant one. Long before noon, when
President pro tern. Frye brought his
gavel down and opened the proceedings,
the galleries began filling up. Every seat
was soon occupied' and hundreds stood
outside in the corridors clamoring for
admission. The floor of the Senate was
a veritable garden, chrysanthemums,
rcces and viplets spreading their fra
grance throughout the chamber. Many
of the floral. pieces were magnificent and
completely r 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 sores which had been made in
the heat of debate during the last ses
sion seemed healed and everywhere it
was noticed that the best of feeling pre
vailed.

\VTASH1NGTON, Dec. . i.— The Senate
was in session twelve minutes to-day, the
first' day v ' of the session; an adjournment
until to-morrow being taken out of re.
"speht to the memory of the late Senator
McMillan, who died' during the recess.
Rarely has the historic chamber present
ed such an appearance : as r lt did to-day'.
The ;. custom ' oi placing flowers on the
desk of Senators on the opening day of
a session is one which long has been fol
lcwed,:'but .the '.display to-day was ad
mittedly the most -magnificent of any
that . has . yet been seen. ' Many of the
Senators were early on the floor and
kept "busyT exchanging greetings with old
acquaintances. '• , >
The galleries were packed to suff cation
and hundreds stood outsicje the cor
ridors, anxious to gain admission. Among
the "interested 'spectators were several
members of the diplomatic corps. Senor
Quesada, the Cuban Minister, occupied a
conspicuous place and exhibited much
interest in the proceedings. The ab
sence of Rev. Dr. Milburn. the blind
chaplain, was particularly noticed. His
place to-day was taken by Rev. J. F.
Prettyman of ' Washington. No business
was transacted b'eyond ' passing the cus

CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET N.
W., WASHINGTON, Dec. .1.— The . House
hasn't any coal at all.. The fuel question
is also a burning one at the Senate end
of the Capitol. Anthracite coal enough to
last three days is all the Senate bunkers
contain.. Having exhausted ,all efforts to
obtain a supply in Washington; Sergeant
at Arms Ransdell went to Philadelphia
and told President Baer of the Philadel
phia and Reading Railroad that unless re
lief, was afforded immediately 1 Congress
would have to adjourn, for both the heat
ing and lighting >: plants of the Capitol
building, would i Have to . be shut . down.
President • Baer ¦ promised to furnish ten
cars of hard coalTfarly this week, '. which
will run the plant for fifteen days: ' What
will be done after that the Senate officials
do jipt know.-' ' ' '• ;/.¦;: ¦--.•••

The House also looked like a flower gar
*den when the Speaker called it ¦ together;
Uncle Joe Cannon, who will ' be the next
Speaker- of the House, • found his desk
covered with bouquets.' There was the
usual crowd in 5 the . galleries, and Mrs,
Roosevelt and Miss Roosevelt .were
among the spectators. The, House was
only in session a very short time. ...-•.
.Although the President's ' message was
not read to-day, there was almost an open
disclosure of opposition to the policy for
enth Congress was called to or
der. The Senate at the hour of opening
presented a gay picture, for the desks. of
nearly every Republican Senator were
covered with flowers. The most conspic
uous display was on the desk of Senator
T. C. Platt, whose friends had sent him
an enormous, floral piece representing a
full-rigged barkentine. The hull was of
white immortelles wi^h a strip of blue,
and the name "New. York" was worked
in red flowers." She was under full sail.
The sails were of white silk and her port- 1
holes were tiny mirrors. Huge bunches
of roses, chrysanthemums and other
showy flowers covered half of the cham
ber and added to the beauty of the scene,
set off as it was by a gallery full of
brightly dressed women. After the morn-
Ing prayer Senator Burrows of , Michigan
announced the death of his"- former col
league, Senator McMillan, in a few ap
propriate words and the Senate adjourned
until to-morrow. ., . .- . ,;

CHANGES IN THE HOUSE.
The Hall of Representatives presented
a scene of splendor at the opening of the
session to-day. During the recess the
chamber had been redecorated through
out. The old color scheme of gold and
carmine was preserved.' but the fresh col
ors served to lighten the general effect.
The famous paintings of Bierstadt. "The
Discovery of the Hudson" and the "Land
ing of the Verbain ExDedition at Monte
rey, Cal.," which formerly hung in
panels on either side of the Speaker's ros
trum, have been removed to the lobby in
the rear of the hall and in their places
now hang the full length portraits of
Washington and Lafayette. .
By 11 o'clock the air was heavy with the
odor of perfumes and the hall buzzed
vith the steady hum of conversation from
the throngs in the surrounding galleries.
Shortly after 11 o'clock the members be
gan arriving, the greetings exchanged
seemingly being equally cordial whether
they were between political friends or en
emies. The Democrats who are returning
after their fifth. successive defeat took the
raillery of the Republicans good na
turedly. . ; . ;
-It -was generally remarked upon in the
galleries that the most I elaborate floral
pieces were on the desks ; of Corinell of
Pennsylvania and Loud • of California,
who were defeated for re-election. The
leaders on both sides were surrounded
and greeted as they found their way : to
their desk*. Cannon of Illinois, whose
election" as Speaker of the next House- is
already assured, was besieged by his col
leagues with congratulations ' and could
¦with difficulty force a way to his desk.
Three minutes before the hour of noon
the doors from the rear lobby swung. open
and Speaker Henderson entered. He was
immediately surrounded by members and
held a reception on the steps of the
rostrum until the hands . of the clock
marked noon. He then ascended to his
place. A great outburst of applause
greeted him as he faced the House arid
galleries.
STILLS THE DEMONSTRATION^
"With several vigorous whacks of the
gavel the Speaker stilled the demonstra
tion in his honor. In the hush that follow
ed the blind. chaplain, Rev. Mr. Couden,
offered prayer, fervently invoking the
divine blessing upon the President, the
Government, the ¦ members of Congress
and the work of the session. When he
had finished the Speaker ! directed the
clerk to call the roll. Immediately a
roar of voices broke out and in the noise
the ' voice of . the clerk could hardly' be
distinguished. So great was the n.olse
that the Speaker was obliged to bring
the House to order and to admonish the
members and the spectators in .the gal
leries to preserve order. The roll call
then proceeded.
"When the roll call was finished the
Speaker announced a quorum, present.
The resignations of Representatives Ray
of New. York and Hall of Pennsylvania
were laid before the House. ¦ ;
The following members, elected during
the recess to fill vacancies created by
death or resignation, then appeared be
fore the bar of the House and took the
oath of office: August B. Gardner,' Sixth
Massachusetts, vice Secretary Moody (re
signed); Alexander Bell Meyer,' Seven
teenth Pennsylvania, vice Rufus K. Polk,
deceased; Frank B. Brandegee, Third
Connecticut, vice Charles A. Russell, de
ceased; John "W. Dwight, Twenty-sixth
New York, vice George W. Ray, resigned;
DeWitt C. Flanagan, Fourth New Jersey,
vice J. S. Salmon, deceased; Carter Glass,
Sixth Virginia, vice Peter J.Otey, de
ceased; Morris Sheppard, Fourfh Texas,
vice his father, John Sheppard, deceased;
James J. . Butler, ' Twelfth Missouri, vice
himself, he having been unseated at the
last" session.
Immediately after ! the swearing 1 in of
these members Tayler' of Ohio created a
flurry by offering a resolution to investi
gate the election of Carter Glass in the
Sixth Virginia District.
Richardson,, the minority -leader, chal
lenged action upon the resolutipn, but as
Tayler did not ask action upon it but
only that It be referred to the Committee
on Elections, it was so referred without
objection.. • ,
A resolution was then adopted for the
appointment of a committee of three
members to join a committee from the
Senate to wait upon -the President and
inform him that there was a quorum pres
ent and that it was ready to receive "any
communication he might desire to make.
The Speaker appointed Bingham of Penn
sylvania, ¦Hitf* of Illinois and Richardson
of Tennessee. ¦.>..• /'.¦¦'
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.— The opening of
the Fifty-seventh Congress in the' Hous^
¦was, as usual, a spectacular event.- The
galleries of the freshly "decorated ' hall
•were packed, to the doors with- people
prominent in society and" political" circles,,
and the flower show on . the '.floor, al
though not as elaborate, as usual. . filled
the chamber with . perfume and added
grace and beauty to the saene/ The' mem
bers were good natured and jovial, and
there was no outcropping of partisan feel
ing.
Speaker Henderson received a cordial
reception as he assumed the gavel, but
beyond this there was no demonstration.
ThV- proceedings were purely perfunctory.
A prayer, the calling of the roll, the
ev. taring in of members elected to fill va
cancies created by death or resignation
during the recess, the adoption of the cus
tomary resolutions to appoint a committee
to wait upon the President, to inform the
Senate that the House was ready to trans
act business and to fix the daily hour of
meeting, summarizes what was done. ;
Then the death 6f the late Representa
tive Russell of Connecticut, which oc
curred-in the early fall, was announced
by his successor, Brandegee. the usual
resolution 1 of regret was adopted; and the
House, as a further mark of respect, ad
journed until to-morrow.
