The dny was devoted to pronal greeting ami organization. The bonne assembled lh largest membership in its history, ami tho ncene before th gavel fell was one of animation, iiotli on the floor, in tho clonk riMniH ami in the lobbies ami corridors. The day was bright anI crisp ami the capitol building pie-Vn-ni"i the appearance of a new struc ture with a oal of white paint and 4!nipl-fo renovation within. Cruwils of eager spectators, both men and women, thronged the corri dors ami rotunda of the rapitol early in the day. and the galleries, to which admiasion was had by card only, were taxed to their capacity Ions beforo th hour for assembling arrived. Many high officials of the government ft their desks at the departments to witness the opening of the seatiion and greet their friends, many St rang es in Washington had their first glimpse of congress, while the capi tol wa the Mecca of the Washington Ian. Committee rooms, which had been In the hands of the renovator during the rt-cess, were thrown open and many informal receptions were held by Mpular chairmen. With the speakership question out rf the way in the universal endorse ment of Mr. Cannon there was noth ing to worry the legislative mind, and the day was given up to the sentiment of the occasion. Many handsome floral tributes to members were borne in unusual pro fusion to the lobbies back of both the senate and house chambers, to be placed later on the desks of the mem bers. The new members of the house received their initiation to doorkeep ers and house employes, and many were turned back for identification be c?use of their slight hesitation on pre senting themselves for admission. Such Incidents contributed to the gen eral lively animation and good humor of the occasion. MRST SESSION OF HOUSi Joseph G. Cannon Elected Speaker of the House. WASHINGTON The house of rep resentatives ot tne Fifty-eighth con gress Monday held its first session, and except for the naming of com mittees, which will follow later, or ranization was completed. Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois, whose elevation to the speakership was assured months ago, was formally elected speaker and Inducteu into office. Mr. Cannon re ceived the applause of democrats and republicans when he took up the gavel of authority, the demonstration beihg most complimentary to the speaker. He was at once at ease in the speaker's chair, having filled it so often temporarily during ITTs many years of service In the house. The old officers were re-elected, and the customary resolutions adopted rrjviding for the appointment of a comniin.ee to notify the president and senate of the election of a speaker and clerk, and a committee to join a senate committee to notify the pres ident of tne presence of a quorum in the two bodies. The hour of meet ing was fixed for 12 o'clock. Ask4 for Recognition. WASHINGTON The United States government received p cablegram from Panama requesting that it rec ognize the new government.

Ont. Hon. Clifford Sif !on, one of the Canadian representa tives on the Alaskan boundary tribu nal, returned to Ottawa Sunday.

C The district equity court on Monday decided to re strain both the Burns and Hayes fac tions Ol the Knights of I.abor from holding their annual meetings, pend ing conclusion or consideration of the case in the court. This action was taken on the suit which has been instituted by the Iiurns faction to revent tho other faction from par ticipating in the annual meeting of the order. Triumphant Hanna and Gorman Bom barded with Bouquets. WASHINGTON With galleries crowded, with the chamber a mass of lloral tributes and with nearly every senator In his seat, the gavel of Pres ident Pro Tern Frye sounded at noon Monday, calling the senate together In the second extraordinary session of the Fifty-eighth congress. The spe cial session of the senate following tho adjournment last spring of the Fifty seventh congress eliminated much of the routine work which oth erwise would have been performed Monday. New senators had gone through the formality of taking oaths of office, seats had been assigned and with the exception of the appoint ment of Home vacancies all functions of the organization had been com pleted. With more than two hours before the senate was called to order the galleries were filling up with early arrivals. Senator Manna's pronounc ed victory in Ohio won for him what was one of the most pretention: floral designs ever s"e:i In the s"i;ate. a shield three and a half by four and a half feet of blue immortelles, in which was wrought with California grasses and ribbons, and red, while and blue immortelles, the design of thr American eagle Identical with that on a silver quarter of a dollar. The shield waa surmounted with a gor geous cluster of American Beauty roses. The offering bore the inscrip tion: "Senator Mr.rk Hanna, from his friends. 'Irish democrats' of Cleve land." Fully a score of smaller trib utes were banked around Senator Hanna's desk. Senator Gorman's triumph in the Maryianu election was recognized by the second largest floral piece, a hand some wreath more than two feet In diameter, with a crossed cluster of rose3 carnations and chrysanthe mums as the base. Chrysanthemums were used in profusion and there was hardly a desk that did not carry one or more huge bunches of these flowers. GOES TO ENGLAND TO REST.

Demand Repeated foi the Exclusion of Major Wong. PEKING Yuen Shi Kay. viceroy of Chi Li province, who, as cabled tc the Associated Press, was dispatched to Mukden by the dowager empress with Instructions to investigate affairs there and if possible to arrange a set tlement with the Russians, did not Ei any further than Tien Tsln, which ho reached Thursday evening. It is now considered doubtful whether he will go to Mukden at all. The Chinese are more enraged at the Russian proceedings at Mukden than they have been by any events since the capture of Peking. Some cf the hot-headed members of the coun cil have advised the dowager em press to declare war cn Russia and send troves to release the tartar gen oral, whose detention at Mukden, growing out of the decapitation of a Chinese bandit who had enlisted in the Russian service, but who fell into the hands of the Chinese after the Russians had evacuated Mukden, wouudi Chinese susceptibilities since It Is considered to be not only an in sult to a high official but an insult to the Chinese government itself. Better informed officials, however, realize the helplessness of China and the madness of attempting to go to war with Russia. Their counsels have hitherto prevailed, though there is much baseless war talk in the na tive press and among the younger Chinese officials. Paul Lesaar, the Russian minister to China has repeated the demands of Russia for the execution of Majoi Wong, who recently decapitated a noted brigand in Russian employ and the dismissal of Yuen, the taotai of Mukden, who is Wong'c superior officer.

Immediately after an instruction was sent by telegraph to Mr. Beaupre, the United States Minister at Bogota, in about the same terms.
