Meeting.

for the popular election of city offi
cials. and the report of. the special
committee providing for a charter re
vision commission will again be before
council In full strength and vigor Mon
day afternoon.
It tvas while discussing these two,
matters—one being offered as a substi
tute for the other—at the last meeting
that some member of council moved an
adjournment, and everybody voted af
firmatively.
Alderman Curtis Is persistent In his
demand that the will of the people ns
expressed at the polls be carried out.
and he does not Intend to let up until
council has acted on Ills resolution
purely on Its merits.
The street committee will recommend
that the bid of Venable Bros, fur the

And then there is the pump question.

esolutions were then offered offi
cially informing the senate of the
deaths of Senators Morgan and Pettus,
of Alabama, and out of respect to their
memories adjournment was taken.
Gavel Used Vigorously.
There was a respectable showing of
public interest in the* senate, but the
bulk of the crowd besieged the house,
where the procedure was more spectac
ular, although high brows were less
nspiouous. Alexander .McDowell, of
Pennsylvania, clerk of*the last house,
called the body to order. He had to
round vigorously with his gayel to se-
I cure the necessary quiet. M&ny of
those In the packed galleries were the
relatives and intimate friends of the
new members, the “congressional kids,"
who have .come on to Washington to
save the country and Incidentally make
dents for themselves on the scroll of
fame.
The diplomatic qorps, also, was gen

Cannon Re-elected 8peaker.
The blind chaplain, Henry N. Cou-
den, offered prayer, the roll was called
by Mates and a quorum found to be
present. Then the* question of who
would be chosen speaker was placed
before the house.
Colonel “Pete” Hepburn, chairman of
the Republican caucus, which had de
cided upon “Uncle Joe” as a successor
to himself, nominated the Illinois mem
ber. The chairman of the Democratic
caucus placed John Sharp Williams, ftf
Mississippi, the minority’s candidate,
before the house as the proper man to
be elected leader.
Nobody was at all surprised when
’’Uncle Joe” won In a walk.

and a flash from each of the four cor

usual photographs, by flashlight, of the
new congttfSH and the swearing In pro
cess were being taken.
Williams automatically became again
the minority leader. * He started the
first scrap of the sixtieth congress by
telling tne new Republican members
that the rules are arrogant and harm
ful and that they should not be adopt
ed for longer than thirty days.
He cautioned the "kids" that unless
they voted with the Democrats to up
set the adoption of the rules they would
be bound hand and foot to the speaker’s
chariot throughout the entire congress. j
Defending the proposition. Dalzell j
said that he could not see by what tight I
Williams spoke for the Republicans,

tariff revision bug. Strange to relate,
despite the warning of the minority
leader, the rules were adopted by a
racorded vote, although a few Repub
licans were found to have lined up with
the Democrats.
