HOUSE AND
SENATE MEET
Second Session of Sixtieth
Congress Opens Today.
ASSEMBLE 4P ADJOURN
Ltgisrator. Separate After Short Set
sion in Order to Pay Respect to
Memory of Late Senator Allison.
Members Who Lost Their Seats in
Recent Election Receive Much At
tention From Fellow Lawmakers.
Washington, Dec. 7.—As the hands
of the clock in the hall of representa
tives In the national Capitol con
verged at noon today Representative
Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois let fall
the gavel that is the outward symbol
of his authority as speaker of the
house of representatives and an
nounced in his usual short, sharp
tones that the members of the house
would come to order. Chaplain Cou
ien opened the session with prayer.
While this scene was being acted
In one end of the Capitol another verj
similar, but oa a much smaller scale,
took place at the other end at the
same minute as the senate was sum
moned from its private conversation
to public business by the voice of Vice
President Fairbanks.
Following the divine Invocation in
the two houses there were the usual
scenes of the swearing in of new
members, escorted up to the seats of
the presiding officers by their col
leagues. As the present session is
the second session of the Sixtieth con
gress no organization was necessary,
Speaker Cannon retaining his author
ity by virtue of his former election
and Mr. Fairbanks as ex-officio pre
siding officer of the senate.
Death Causes Adjournment.
Today's session was yery short.
Aiter the absolutely necessary busi
ness was transacted the two houses
adjourned for the day in order to
pay proper tribute to the memory of
the late Senator Allison of Iowa. His
successor, Albert B. Cummins, was
sworn in today.
Before the house was called to or
der the crowds of visitors that filled
the gallery spent the time of waiting
by singling out for comment well
known members. The latter seeming
ly paid no attention to the comments,
which reached them, if at all, only in
confused murmurs, and circulated
among their colleagues, renewing old
friendships, congratulating those
whose efforts had resulted in success
ftt the polls and condoling with those
who were elected last month to re
main at home. Prominent among the
tnen who were the recipients of the
latter mournful attention could be
marked Representatives Hepburn of
Iowa and Landis and Overstreet of
isdiA&a, erstwhile leaden on the Re-

JOSEPH Q.
who
Corner Drug Store Book Emporium
attracted the greatest amount of
notice were John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi, who has relinquished his
post of representative of the house
minority in view of his election to a
seat in the senate, and Champ Clark,
leader of the house Democrats. Each
man was made the center of a group
of his party colleagues, discussing the
chances of fighting successfully
against the strong Republican major
ity in the house. Fewer Democrats
than Republicans suffered defeat last
month, the Republican majority being
cut down, but the change will not, of
course, affect the present session. On
the Democratic side the man who was
the recipient of the greatest number
of condolences seemed to be the aged
General Sherwood of Ohio. Repre
tentative Kitchin of North Carolina
was the butt of many jesting remarks
owing to the fact that his district, the
Fifth North Carolina, went Repub
lican, while he was elected governor
of his state on the Democratic ticket.
Tomorrow the house and senate
will listen to the reading of the pres
ident's message, after which adjourn
ment will be taken in order to permit
of organization f«r actual work.

CRUISER YANKEE
GOES TO BOTTOM
Had Just Been Floated After Be
in^ Aground Some Time.
New Bedford, Mass., Dec. 7.—Free
from Spindle rock, at the western en
trance to Buzzards bay, where she
bad been impaled for ten weeks, the
United States cruiser Yankee sank six
fathoms deep near what Is known as
the Sand Spit while being towed to
this city for repairs. She lies a short
distance to the north of Penikese isl
and and not far from the ledge on
which she had rested since Sept. 23
last. The sinking of the cruiser oc
curred twelve hours after she was
floated from the ledge. In spite of
the discouraging situation It is be
lieved that the vessel can be raised
and work to that end will be begun
at once.
The cause of the accident, the cul
mination of a series of misfortunes
which have befallen the Yankee, was
an unusually heavy sea kicked up by
a high northwest gale. The Yankee,
in tow of the tugs John Harlan and
Powhattan and convoyed by the naval
collier Lebanon, was proceeding slow
ly from Spindle rock to this port. In
the gale and heavy seas the hawsers
had parted for the tenth time and the
tug John Harlan was trying to con
nect another towing line when she
was lifted on a wave and slammed
against the side of the cruiser. The
impact smashed in a port in the com
partment where three air compressors
were at work. Water, which pound
In through the open port, disabled the
air pumps. The Yankee did not sink
at once. Captain McAllister, who was
in charge of the wrecking work, in
view of the dangers, warned the
members of the wrecking crew to
leave the ship. All but six of the
ninety-two men left. The Yankee was
then straightened as well as the
wreckers could do It and an attempt
was made to drag her to Penikese isl
and and beach her there. This plan
seemed likely to succeed when, not
far from tbe island, the cruiser filled
suddenly and sank In forty-two feet
of water. Commander Marsh of the
Yankee, Captain McAllister, Engineer
Witherspoor. and the six members of
the wrecking crew, who were on
board, ran up the rigging and later
Jumped safely on board the Powhat
tan.

ONLY ORDINARY
EXERCISE CRUISE
Holland Denies Demonstration
Against Venezuela.
The Hague, Doc. 7.—The govern
ment of The Netherlands has declined
to dignify the procession of three
Dutch warships, the battleship Jacob
Van Heemskerk and the cruisers Gel
derland' and Friesland, along the coast
of Venezuela from Puerto Cabello to
La Guayra. as a naval demonstration.
It asserts that this maneuver was
only an ordinary exercise cruise. Offi
cials pointed out that anything in the
nature of a blockade must be duly
notified to the powers before being
undertaken. They said that no such
notification yet had been sent, nor
has the necessary notice been given
to parliament of any proposed war
like action.
The government has received no
official advices confirming the state
ment that four American warships are
expected at Curacao the beginning of
January but it is thought here that
now the presidential election is over
the T'nited States possibly may lend
Holland more effective assistance
than the moral support already prom
ised.
