EEE EEE lm mee eee pins 5 ee were THE NEW CONGRESS. Notable Facts About the Fifty. second Congress. HOUSE AND SENATE AT VARIANCE, Consequently Not Much Legislation May Be Expected—A Strong Session, How- ever, Becanse of Influencing the Presidentiat Election. Wasmtseros, Dee. 7.—To-day at noon, in accordance with constitutional re- quirements, the Vifty-second congress will assemble. With one branch of national logislature in the possession of each of the two great political parties, and both striving to shape the | | course of legislation so as to affect in their interests the approaching presi- 4 dential campaign and secure supremacy ‘in the control of the government, it '! may fairly be assumed that the Fifty- second congress will take a prominent place in the history of legislative as- | semblies. In view of the conflicting majorities in the two branches it is not probable that when it has concluded its iabors it will have added to the statutes many new measures of national importance; but beyond doubt many fierce battles will be waged up to the leading issues of the two great parties—the tariff and silver coinage—while the members of the small but lively alliance element may be counted on to lose no nity in debate for brifiging their de- mands and principles before the coun- try. The usual decorous quiet is expected to characterize the assembling of the senate. An unusually large number of senators will stand before the vice- president to take their oath of office, for thirty-two of them (nearly one-half of the membership of the senate) are either new to that body or begin new Pernor of service. David 1B. Hill, gov- ernor of New York, is not expected to appear for some time, and his credep- tials have not yet been filed. Redfield Proctor, late secretary of war, has also failed in this respect but he may yet band his letter of appointment to the secretary to have it presented to-day. In two cases there are rival claim- ants toseats. Mr. Dubois, of Idaho, is challenged as to the validity of his title by Mr. Clagett, but, as the name of the former appears upon the secre- tary’s list, he will be swiern in and Mr. Clagett’s claims will be examined by the committee on pr »s and elec- tions. Mr. Call, of 1 ida, also finds acontestant in Mr. Davidson, who is armed with the governor's certificate and this case may possibly be referred to the same committee for report be- fore either party is admitte.’. Should the house fail to organize to- day, the senate will not be able to transact business, for its inability to notify the president through a joint committee of its readiness to receive his communications will operate to de- fer for atime the presentation of the annual message, a3 well as the large accumulation of recent appointments that must be sent to the senate for con- firmation. Conferences will be held by senators of the different par- ties early in the week to ar- range the membership of the commit- tees, a task of more than ordinary in- portance this time, in view of the in- coming of fifteen new senators. Unless there should be a radical change in the speakership situation early this morn- ing, the house of representatives for the first time since the Thirty-sixth congress (when the last deadlock over the speakership occurred) will meet without a previous selection by the dominant party of a presiding officer for the popular branch of the legis- lative department. Though this condition of affairs has not existed in recent years it was not so rare in the stormy years between + the Mexican and civil wars, when the * conflict over the slavery question drew lines without and within parties tense and close. Thus in the Thirtieth con- gress the speaker was notelected for eleven days, a chairman meantime be- ing appointed to administer the rules of the house. In the Thirty-tirst congress nearly a month elapsed before the speaker was selected, and this period of practical interregnum was prolonged to two months inthe Thirty-fourth and Thirty-sixth congresses. In the last two named cases the clerk of the house presided over its deliberations and con- trolled the formalities made requisite by the federal constitution. Should there be a failure to decide upon & speaker at the caucus to-day tt will be necessary for the house to adopt one or the other of the two methods established by precedent for such events, namely, to elect a tem- porary chairman or temporary speaker (according to the titular designation which may be agreed upon for the per- | son selected) or else commit the duty | ,, of presiding to the clerk in the absence | *” of any agreement for the perfection of the organization of the house. The course of proceedings during the com- ing week is a matter of pure specula- tion, with few and insignificant coca upon which to base conjecture. In any event very little business will be transacted in the house during the} week. The president's message w ill be received and read according to cus-; tom on Tuesday if the house completes its organization: and for the rest of the week brief sessions and adjournments over for a day or two at a time are probable. The committees are not ex- | after the explosi | smelling smot pected to be appointed before the Christmas holidays, with the exception of the committee on rales, on enrolled bills and on mileage and accounts, | which are usually named within a few) days after the speaker is inducted inte office. j } | Seventy-three French miners lost; their lives as a result of an explosion of fire damp in a mine near = Etienne. a The tendency of the London stock exchange is upward, but Americans | are quiet.

Paris, Dec. 6—The report of a ter- rible mining disaster comes from St} Etienne, in the department of Loire, and the center of the richest coal fields , of France. Anexplosion of tiredamp | occurred at noon yesterday in one of the numerous coal pits in that region, ard many of the workers were unable to escape from the mine. { The explosion occurred in the puits de la manufacture belonging to the St. Etienne Colliery Co. Immediately 2 volumes of ill i from the mouths and a conpuecting and in a short oe crowds of istics and cee = ye of the imprisoned workmen gathered about the naoaee of the pit and pre- N ot the EF me t. pared for the work of rescue. For- | tunately yesterday was being ob- served as a fete day and a compara- | tively small number of men were at! work in the mine. If the accident had | happened on an ordinary the loss of would palling. When the first attempt was made to rescue the imprisoned men the rescuers were driven back by the foul fumes that poured from the shaft and for nearly an hour nothing could be done to aid the unfortunate miners in the pit In order to disperse the smoke that filled the shaft the cage was low- ered and drawn up rapidly a number of times, and at length the shaft was sufficiently cleared to enable the res- cuers to descend in the cage and begia the work of exploration. At the very outset rescuers encoun- tered a serious obstacle, as the main gallery was found to have collapsed, thus preventing access to the impris- oned men. After working several hours in relays, the party of rescuers had cleared away & portion of the de- bris and a few minutes later they came across the bodies of four miners) The men, although unconscious, were still alive and were quickly sent to the sur- face where they soon revived, to the delight of the bystanders and sorrow- ing wives and families who had col- lected at the pit’s mouth. While the rescuers were at work sev- eral doctors and a number of ambu- lances had been summoned from St. Etienne ani a supply of restoratives procured so that the promptest assist- auc: might be given to all who should be brought from the pit alive. The speedy revival of the men rescued gave hope that the others in the pit might be saved, ani this hope was strength- Up with the Band Wagon.

The second party of rescuers, however, found that it was utterly impossible to reach the other imprisoned men and there is hardly a doubt that all of the latter have succumbed to the poisonous gas that filled the chambers of the mine. At midnight it was ascertained that : — es seventy-three miners had perished. { The wives, children and relatives of \ Trustee's Sale. Whereas James J Duncan and susie E.
