Above this volome of sound came like pistol shots cries of “Reed! Reed! Reed!” The Republi jcans cheered, many of them wildly, /and the ladies in the galleries waved handkerchiefs. For over a minute | the demonstration continued. The Fitty-Fourth House of Repre- Sentatives @pens Its Session. | Speaker’s Vote: 234 to 95.

Promptly at noon to-day the Senate and House were called to order in their respective chambers amid the scenes of animation and excitement marking the opening of a Congress. All Washington lays siege to the big Capitol building on opening days jand to day there was added interest jon account of the present changes inyolved and the large influx of new blood. The crowd came through drizzling rain, mist and mud, in con- veyances, street cars, and in long lines on foot, pouring through the entrances, choking the corridors and elevators and besieging the galleries far beyond their capacity. But it was an orderly crowd, and a largely augmented force of officers had little trouble in preserving order and pre- venting confusion. By 16:30 o’elock, an hour and a half before the time of meeting, the public galleries in both Houses were filled and an eager crowd overflowed into the outer corridors. Many ladies were in the throng, but there was a noticeable lack of color and fair weather costumes, which usually give a touch of brightness to the somber chambers. and administered the oath of office to the Speaker. The latter then |turned to the House Looking into the sea of upturned faces he deliver- ed his inaugural. Slowly and dis- tinctly the words fell from his lips. At many points his brief speech was punctuated with applause. Mr. Reed spoke as follewe: It will not be unbecoming to me, I hope, if I acknowledge to assembly that it is very agreeable to me to stand once more in the place which I left four years ago. Of the past, however, I shall not speak, for the past speaks for itself in terms more fitting and appropriate than any words which could come from my lips. Nor shall I speak of the future, for we are not putting off the harness but putting it on. I do think I may venture to say of the future in the light of the past that if we do something which for the moment seems inadequate, it may be that time which has justified itself for us on many occasions may do so again. Those who have acted with wisdom heretofore may . be fairly expected to act with wisdom hereafter. I am sorry to say that the pleasure associated with the honor you have bestowed upon me, an honor which no American citizen can fail to ap- preciate, and for which [ give thanks is but for the moment, while the cares and responsibilities extend over many days. So far as the per- formance of my duties affects the whole people of the United States, I invoke their considerate judgement. So far as it effects the members of this house I ask from both sides of the chamber that cordial coopera- tion, without which I can not hope to succeed, assuring them that no effort on my part will be sprared to aid them in the performance of their duties by that entire impartiality which is their just due.” After Reed’s election the other re- publican caucus nominees promptly elected as follows. Clerk—Alexander McDowell Pennsylyania. Sergeant at Arms—Benjamin F. Russell, of Missouri. Doorkeeper--W. J. Glenn,of New IN THE HOUSE. The Fifty-fourth House of Repre- sentatives was called to order at noon to day. At 11:45 the floor was cleared and those who had not the privilege of tbe floor reluctantly retired and sought at the thronged doors of the galleries an opportunity to get a glimpse of the proceedings below. In the press gallery every seat was taken by correspondents of the great dailies of the country. As the hands of the clock opposite the Speaker's desk pointed to 12 Col. “Ike” Hill the Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms, lifted into its place on the green pedestal alongside of the rostrum the ebony eagle-surmounted mace, the emblem of the House's authority, the flag above the House was run up and Clerk Kerr called the Fifty-fourth House of Representatives to order.
