gathering had assembled. 'l he galler-

through the swinging doors could be
seen pitching hundreds who were un-
able to gain admittance. Entrance was
only obtained by card. for which there
was an enormous demand. I
The ladies'oand membern' galleries
were filled with brilliantly-clothed wo

doubtful.
There was a conference between Sen-

Richardson. in a neat speech Introduc-
ed the speaker. who addressed ..tbe
House as follows:
Gentlemen-Who voice of this House
has called me to grave responlllhill»~
ties. For that call i am more that
profoundly grateful. and I am keenly
sensible of the weight of the respono
slhillties that attach to this great of-
fice. i am encouraged. however, by
the thought that no members of this
body can escape responsibility, either
to his people or to his country. All
of us are under bonds to do our best.
“The approval of the country; the
approval of the one’s own conscience;
the attainment of great research, are
not secured by petty contests or narrow
scratches. but must be sought and won
on broad. patriotic lines of thought
and action.
"it is my duty. as it will be my aim
and pleasure. to impartially adminis-
ter the laws adopted for your govern-
ment. but no speaker can be success-
ful unless he has the cooperation of
the members of this body.
"The generous impartiality and gen-
tleness shown to me. encourage me to
believe that such imperfections as I
may have may be modified by the con-
siderate and supporting disposition of
those. constituting this great body.
“i am ready to take the oath of of-
fice." ‘
In accordance with the time-honored
custom. the oldest member of the
House in point of service, Mr. Harmer.
of Pennsylvania. administered the oath
to the speaker. The speaker then an-
nounced that the oaths would head-
ministered to members by states.
As the names of the members were
called they appeared at the bar in
groups of about a dozen and were
sworn in by the speaker. in the Mary-
land dulogstion was John Walter
Smith, who was elected governor of
his state in November and who will
remain in the ‘iouse until he is in~
suguratcd governor.
When the pane of Brigham H. Rob-
erts was reached in the House roll-
call the Utah member-elect proceeded
alone in the area in front of the speak-
er's desk to take the oath.
At the same tlme Representative
Taylor. of Ohio. secured recognition
and protested against the swearing in
of Mr. Roberts on the ground that be

followed with a protest from the Dem-
ocratic side, saying this issue was one
involving the socreduess of the Ameri-
can bon'ie, a sentiment that brought an
outburst of applause.
Speaker Henderson then addressed
Mr. Roberts saying: "Will the gentle-
men stand aside until the roll-call is
completed?"
sir. Roberts assented. with the
statement that in so doing be waived
none of his rights.
"I can assure the gentleman." said.
the speaker, "that be waives none of
his rights by this course.”
Mr. Roberts then resumed his seat
and the roll-call proceeded.
it was agreed by unanimous consent
that the consideration of the protest
should go over until tomorrow, after
the reading of the president's message.
The swearing in of the remaining
members was then concluded.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Washington. December t-ln the
shadow of recent death. the Senate
convened at noon today in its first
session of the Fifty-sixth Congress.
Since the close of the Fifty-fifth Con-
gress. the Senate chamber has been en-
tirely refitted. The walls have been re-
touched in delicate and beautiful col-
ors, a beautiful old-gold carpet has
taken the place of the green one of the
last congress. and many new desks and
chairs have re-placed the old.
As usual. on the opening day of a
session of Congress. the chamber was
a veritable conservatory. The odor of
the rarest and loveliest of blooming
plants was heavy on the air. Scarcely
a single senator was forgotten in the
lavish fioral display. Particularly not-
able were the offerings of flowers to
the new members of the body.
Promptly at 12 o'clock. lir. Frye. of
Maine. president pro tern, called the
Senate to order. The blind chaplain.
Rev. Dr. Milburu. pronounced the invo-
cation. making a touching reference to
the death of Vice-president Hobai t.
Mr. Bacon. Ga, was the first member
to be recognised by the chair. He pre-
seated on behalf of Mr. liallory. Flor—
