Republicans Have Majority. tigatior also , pa are | time since 1911, had majorities both branches of congress as a result of congressional elections 1 ber. In the house they have a margin of two score votes, but in the senate | their majority is only two, raising questions, in view of factional and other differences, of future action. With President Wilson a democrat, the change in the political complexion of congress presented a situation sim- ilar to that during the last two years of former President Taft's administra- tion when there was a democratic house and during President Cleve- land’s term in which there was a re- publican congres Roster of Both Houses. The senate today had 49 republicans and 47 democrats. The new ho rolls lists 238 republicans, 189 demo- crats, two independents, ane prohibi- tionist, one socialist and four 2 cies, all in democratic districts tal of 435 The house division gives the republicans a majority of 46 over the democrats and 39 over all combin- ed opposition.

It was the first time con- gress had convened with a president in Europe and his opening message cabled from foreign soil. The pres dent’s message was not to be sent to congress until tomorrow, and it prob- ably will make no reference to the peace treaty as Mr. Wilson expects to appear personally to present the treaty next month. The president’s absence today disrupted the time honored cus tom of appninting congressional com- mittees to call at the White House for notification of the executive. Long Session Exected. The session beginn today expected to run virtually to the time for the regular December session, which will precede the 1920 national | conventions and presidential cam- paign.
