MANY BILLS ARE INTRODUCED Barly Respect to Memory of Members ‘Who Died During the Recess. Adjournment is Taken Out of WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—The two houses of congress convened todsy for the first regular sesslon of the Sixty-first congress, but the day's proceedings were in great part of a soclal nature and practically no [ transacted. Brief as was the senate's thirteen min- utes it was enlivened by an unsuccesstul effort on the part of Senator Balley to defeat the passage of the usual resolution that the daily sessions begin at noon? suggesting that the senate should con- vene instead at 2 o'clock. Mr Balley said he would Iike to ses the senate hold night | sessions In order that senators might de- vote the day to Individua! busimess. No | objection was offered when a similar | resolution was Introduced in the house A comcittee was named by both houses to wait upon the president and to Inform | him that congress was in sesslon and | ready for any business he might wish to| lay before it. The president's response wiil constitute his annual message, the reading of which will consufe practically all of tomorrow's sessions of the two houses. The house session continued forty min- utes, during which W. W. McCredle, the new representative from the Second Wash- ington dlstrict, who succeeds the late Fran- cls W. Cushman, was sworn In. The| greater part of the sesslon was taken | up by the roll call. Many Dills Introduced. Although only 341 members responded to thelr names, almost a full membership | appeared on the house floor, and there) were few among them that did not have one or more bills to offer. These included one by Representative Garner (Pa.) for an investigation by congress of the entire ocustoms service, particularly In regard to sugar frauds recently brought to light; one by Representative Hitchcock (Neb.) for the establishment of postal savings banks; one by Representative Mann (L) for fedoral regulation of the “white slave trade” and another by Mr. Mann for the free admission of wood pulp and one by Representative Hamilton (Mich.) to grant statehood to New Mexico and Arizona. There were the customary crowds in the galleries of the two houses and the usual scenes attending an opening day of con- gress were re-enacted on the floors. The leaders of the majority and the minority were there and conversed amiably, all of the bitterness engendered by the tariff fight of last summer apparently having been forgotten for the time being at least. Resolutions of respect for the memory of Senator Johnson of North Dakota, Repre- sentatives De Armond and Lasssiler, who died during the recess, were adopted and, as a further mark of respect, the two houses adjourned untfl noon tomorrow, the senate at 12:16 and the house at 12:40 p. m. Galleries Crowded in House. An animated scene presented Itse't to Speaker Cannon when he appeared in the Louse at noon today to call to order the house of representatives in the sixty-first congress. The gallerles were crowded to the doors long before the hour arrived. A round of applause greeted the speaker when he entered the chamber. For a moment he stood in his place nervously fingering the gavel. While the applause s was was subsiding, the gavel descended with a resounding left-handed whack. ““The house will be in order.
