Reports have been received from all points to which coin safes were shipped on the day the coin disappeared. The money has not been accounted for, and the only theory left for the offi- cials of the company is that it has been made away with by some one.

The opening was under the interesting conditions and amid those scenes that have for years made the re-assembling of con- gress among the notable events of the country. Hundreds of sight-seers thronged the corridors and crowded into the gal- leries to witness the formal proceed- ings. From one end of the capitol building to the other the busy tread of statesmen and the flutter of femi- ninity distinguished the occasion from any other in the official or social cal- endar of the year. From the lethargy which has char: acterized Washington since early in the spring the city awakened to a new era and heralded with apparent joy the day which opens both the official and social seasons, The streets were crowded with peo- ple intent on witnessing the ceremon- The Sunday St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Will Be Issued Sunday, December 1 1th.

Many newly-elected members were at the capitol, although they will not enter office until after March 4. A particularly sad feature of the re-as- sembling was‘the abscence of kindly faces grown old in the service of the country, Rarely in the memory of the old guard has the opening day been made such a gala occasion. The galleries, rather than the floor, proved the cen- t@ of attraction for rows upon rows of handsomely gowned women looked down upjon the statesmen who grouped about the chambers or strolled in and out of the cloak rooms to exchange greetings with old friends and receive those of new ones, Members of both bodies were flooded with remembrances in the form of floral pieces and the chambers pre- sented an appearance which they never know on any other occasion.

He died an hour later. Investigation by the police revealed that Daly and his companion were fired upon by farm- ers, who alleged the hunters were trespasing on their property. Ac- cording to Henry Brenner, one of the farmers now under arrest at the mounted district station, a dozen or more shots were exchanged themums and other fall flowers cov- ered the desks. Though rain and sleet fell during the entire morning these discomforts were insufficient to mar the success of the event. Those who attend the first day of a session of congress gain but a false idea of the functions of the greatest of all law-making institutions. In the senate, after the usual formalities, the session was adjourned out of re- spect for the late Senator Hoar of Massachusetts and Quay of Pennsyl- vania. In the house pending the an- nual message from the president noth- ing beyond the merest routine was ac- complished. — , This will be the short session of in leather line--offered by cat- alogue houses.

Washington, Dec. 5.—Justice Brown delivered the opinion of the supreme court of the United States in the case of C, M. Thomas vs. the United States, involving the rights of naval officers in respect to extra pay under the navy personel] acts of 1900 and 1901. The opinion is in favor of the government. The claim presented was that naval officers who go to sea should be al- lowed ten per cent. in excess of their naval pay because the increased al- lowance is made to army officers who are assigned to duty at sea or at a foreign port, the purpose of law being the assimilation of the salaries of army and navy officers. Mr. Thomas is @ captain in the navy and miade claim for the extra pay because of ser- vice in the Philippines, in China and at sea. Most of his claims were al- lowed by the court of claims, but this decision was to-day Feversed. GUILTY OF CON TEMPT.
