ASHINGTON, March 5.—In obedience to the President's proclamation the Senate of the Fifty-eighth Congress convened in extraordinary | session at noon. to-day. An immense crowd witnessed the interesting ceremony. Schoes of the Fifty-seventh Congress had not died away 1 President Pro Tem. Frye called the body to order, and soon thercafter the Senators who were re- elected and those who were to take their seats for the first time,* with the ex- ception of Gorman, who had seen long service in the Senate, ‘were sworn in. Friends and admirers of the Senators loaded down their desks with beautiful floral tributes. One of the fea- tures of the opening ceremony was the ovation accorded Gorman. Cannon’s speech in the House of Rep- resentatives early vesterday morning presenting the conference report on the general deficiency Dill, in which he charged that the Senate conferees had resorted to legislative blackmail and at- tacked the rules of the Senate, formed the subject of fervid rcmarks by Tillman and by the Senate conferees—Hale, Alli- | son and Teller. There were two issues, Tillman said, involved in that speech, one affecting the dignity of the Senate and the other af- fecting his own official integrity, respon- and personal character. The indecent and an outrage.” He read from Jefferson’s manual regarding the comity that must obtain bLetween the two branches of a legislature, and asked whether it had not been greatly violated in this case. “Power,” he said, these men drunk. Hale of Maine said he would let the matter pass into oblivion, disagreeable as “had made some of | it was, but it affected him because he had charge of the deficiency bill. Speaking very deliberately, Hale said there had been no legislative blackmail and that there was no necessity, “none whatever,” said he speaking with emphasis,.*for that conferencg to be brought into the speech of Mr. Cannon.” Hale sald it has never been thought that one house of Congress should arraign the other. It has never been thought or said before that the pro- cesses of one house are processes of blackmail and that they have become so insufferable that ome house will preach a crusade against the other with the threat that the people will stand behind the house that makes the proposition. He said he has read the speech of Cannon with the greatest amazement and sorrow, all the more because it was not the im- passionate or unconsidered utterance of some new man, but was said by a very distinguished and remarkably able man who has earned every advancement that has attended his career. Cannon’s use of the ords “legislative blackmail” Hale declared, was unfortunate, improper and a breach of the ileges which, if they are not in the tten law, practically stand in the judgment of all good men as the comity between the two houses. WILL REGRET HIS WORDS. “Thre speech will be forgotten,” said he. “It will pass to the oblivion to which it should be consigned. The man who made it will go on to a higher place and in his life he will have a hundred things to turn to in pride, but he will never have anything more to regret than having spoken these words.” Hale was followed by Allison, also a member of the Conference Committee, who said he commended and approved every word Hale had sald “respecting the remarkable speech made in the other house at- the close of the last session.” Speaking with emphasis and with much ingdignation, Mr. Allison said: “I think it is fitting that we should say, not once but always, that the rules of procedure of this body will be settled by the body itself, in accordance with its own best judgment.” He declared that if the deficiency bill had failed it would not have been due to the rulés of the Senate but to the situation which was presented in the House. “Therefore, whatever of dictation there was as re- specting this item, it was because the House for reasons of its own could not take the orderly und usual proceeding and method of legislation by taking these items into the House and into the Sen- ate and having the judgment of the two houses upon them.” The House conferees had sought to.put the blame on the Sen- ate rules, which had existed for a hun- dred years, and if any changes are made in those rules, added Allison, it will be by the Senate and ‘not by any outside body.” Teller of Colorado, the Democratic mem- ber of the Conference Committee, said that Mr. Cannon's remarks were ‘“‘inap- propriate and out of place.” Such sessions as this do not usually oc- cur except when a President.of the United States {s inducted into office. At the be- ginning of each new Congress—and to- day was the first session of the Senate of the Fifty-eighth Congress—the oath is ad- ministered to twenty-six Senators who take office for six years. Of these seven- teen were re-elected, as follows: Allison, lowa; Clay, Georgia; Dillingham, Vermont; Falrbanks, Indiana; Foraker, Ohlo} Gallinger, New Hampshire; Hansbrough, North Dakota; Kittridge, South Dakota; McEnery, Louisiana; Mallory, Florida (serving on_ap- pointment until the Legislature meets); Pen- rose, Pennsylvania; Perk!

FAVORS RAISE N MINER'S PA Coal Commission Will | Grant Ten Per Cent Increase. | WASHINGTON, Marth 5.—Repfesenta- tives of both sides of the coal strike | auestion appeared before the Anthracite | | Ccal Strike Commission to-day. The main | question discusged was that of determin- | ing the best method of payment for coal | mined, and hinged upon the point as to | | whether settlement shall be made with | the men according to weight or ‘measure. | | The hearing to-day, which was not open | to the publle, foreshadows an early re- | |port of the commission’ to President | | Roosevelt, as it involves practically the only issue which remains unsettled in | the minds of the commission. A 10 per cent increase in pay will be granted. The following statement regarding the | | meeting was given out by the commission | {late to-day: | “The Anthracite Coal Strike Commis- sion met to-day for the purpose of a con- | | sultation with the counsel and represent- atives of the miners and the coal oper- | tors to enable the commission to avold iy misunderstanding as to matters under | its consideration, but not to submit to | the parties any conclusions reached by the commission or any form of award. One of the difficult subjects with which the ccmmission has had to deal is that of paying for coal by weight rather than | by car. Various methods have been sug- | gested as a substitute, some of which | were touched upon at length in the vol- | umnious testimony before the commis- | | sion. It was necessary, therefore, for the commission to meet counsel on both | | sides and have a free and frank talk with | them. Such'a consultation could not have taken place had it been open to the pub- lic. No additional testimony was asked | for nor offered.” i | President Mitchell of the Miners’ Union | to-night said that he will remain in Wash- | ington until Monday, but It is sald that | while the commission will sit to-morrow as_usual, it does not expect to hear any more witnesses. | MRS. OELRICHS ESCAPES A HEAVY ASSESSMENT L | Relieved of Million Dollar Levy by the New York Tax Depart- * ment. NEW YORK, March 5—On the ground that her legal residence is In San Fran- cisco, Mrs. Theresa A. Oelrichs, daughter of the late Senator Fair, was to-day re- lieved of an assessment of $1,000,000 levied against her by the department of taxes and assessments. i i L e e e e e new Senators, although one, Gorman, had previously served eighteen years in the Senate. The new Senators are: | Ankeny, Washington; Clarke, Arkansas; Ful- ton, Oregon; Gorman, Maryland; Heyburn, 1daho; Hopkine, Lllinois; Latimer, South Caro- lina: Long, ansas McCreery, Kentucky Newlands, N da; Overman, North Carolina; Smoot, Utah; Stone, Missouri, | The Sehate, belng a continuous body, its officers hold until their successors are chosen, so . promptly at noon the body was called to order by President Pro Tem. Frye. The scene was a brilliant one and not unlike the open- ing of every session of Congress. The galleries ‘were filled at an eagly hour and in the family and reserved galleries were friends and relatives of the new Senators. The desks of the new Senators could be distinguished by the wealth of flowers | which had been provided. The lavishness of the admirers was shown by the fact | that desks and even chairs in some in-| stances were completely buried under | huge floral pleces and beautiful bouquets. | After the invocation Mr. Bennett, the | secretary of the Senate, read the procla- mation of the President convening the extraordinary session. Hoar of Massachusetts, speaking for | Burrows of Michigan, chairman of the | Committee on Privileges and Elections, | referred to the constitutional procedure of administering oaths to the new Sena- tors and sald that if there were any other procedure the result would be a third of | the Senate might be kept out of their séats for an Indefinite time on the pre- | senting of objections without responsibil- ity. The result of that might be, he said, that a change in the political power of «this Government, which the people de- sire to accomplish, might be indefinitely postponed. Hoar stated that questions of | qualification should be postponed and | acted upon by the Senate afterward. APPLAUSE FOR OLD MEMBERS. The names of the newly elected Sena- tors were called alphabetically and each | was escorted to the desk by his col- league.” Messrs. Spooner and Allison received | generous applause as they were escorted to the desk. Smoot' of Utah subscribed to the oath with an emphatic “I do.” No objection was made to his taking the oath. When Ankeny’s name was called his colleague, Foster, announced that Ankeny was under a physictan’s care at his hotel, Three other newly elected Senators did not respond to the roll call-Messrs, Clarke of Arkansas, Gallinger of New Hampshire and Stone of Missourl. Messrs, Clarke and Stone were delayed and Gal- linger was called out of the city. There were seventy-four Senators present. The President's message was delivered to the Senate by Mr. Barnes. It was not read, Hoar announcing that he intended | to move an executive session. The business of the executive session of the Senate consisted in referring all the treaties before the Senate to the Com- | mittee on Forelgn Relations and in re- | ferring the nominations sent in to-day || to the committee which will pass -on them.
