WASHINGTON. Pec. 5 At noon tomor row th first session of the Sixty-first con (:( will be convened. Vice President Sherman will preside In the senate and Speaker Cannon will wield the gavel In the house. The beginning of the session ia regarded as always with Interest, but there have been few sessions in recent years for which there has been so little planning among members. Ordinarily Speaker Cannon and Serator Aldrlch. who speaks for the ma jority of the senate, have a program at the beginning of a session, but this year they have none; or. If they have one, they aro not talking about It. They are waiting upon the president. By common consent, apparently, all are holding back until the pitaldentlal recommendations can be re ceived, as they will be on Tuesday, In his first annual message. That his suggestions will be acted upon Is too much to say. But there la a disposition to accommodate him at far aa can be done, and there Is a deter mination to hear his Intimation before entering upon any effort at legislation along the lines upon which ho has Inti mated a desire to be heard. Plana of "Insurgents." Even the "Insurgents" generally express a willingness to wait upon the W hite Hoube before attempting to formulate a plan of action. This Is true both In the senate and the house. TVey manifest much Interest In the forthcoming message, but say that umu It ia received they will be unable to form any plans. They proclaim no fight against the president, but some at least of the m are I avowedly lrreconohable in their attitude to wards the speaker and Senator Aldrich, whom they hold responsible, the one for 'the house rules and the other for-the tarirf law. Unquestionably they will be heard from In some way before the session grows veil- old. and It not hoped by tho friends f the new tariff that they will escape criti cism!) They are prepared for this and will attempt to mot It w'n It romef. There ia practically no prospect of amending .the rules of the house during this session and the lndlcallona are strong that there will be ho general effort In that direction. There doubtless will be some talk, however. Probable Itnllrond Legislation. The principal Interest In the outlook cen ters' In tha possibility of railroad legisla tion, and all hand are waiting with keen expectancy to aec what recommendations, If any, Mr. Taft may make on that subject. Hepreentailve Mann has bills prepared on all these points and will present them as toon aa the message Is rec tved. He Is chairman of the committee which will have1 the measures in hand and will piess them 'with vigor. Much Interest Is felt in the Nlcaraguan situation, but thj general disposition li to permit the executive branch to deal With It without legislative Interference ut least in the present stage. Congressmen generally express no apprehension as to tha outcome. The attitude of Canada to wards the provisions of the tariff law rcl Atlvt to print paper and wood pulp Is giving some concern, mere win oe eariy efforts to remedy this sliuatlon, but there la no certainty of the outcome. While the corporation tax provision of the tariff bill was under conoid rat on during the extra session, Senator Aldrlcti expressed the opinion that It might not be of long life, but hi probably will taxe no steps to abrogate It until the full ef fect of tho tar. ff as a revenue producer oan be ascertained. ' Sogur Trust Krsolutlou. Representative Campbell will Introduce a resolution Monday for an investigation of the sugar trust. The opinion Is quite general that after thslr long "wait at the church" New Mex loo and Arizona will attain to statehood before the close of the session. Thj presi dent has promised that they shall come In separately and while many members stll regard the two territories as unpr. pared for tha responsibilities of statehood tiie probabilities are that they will yield and allow the pasrage of a bill enabling their admission. There also HI be strenuous efforts to get through a postal savings bill and a merchant marine bill, but both will be opposed. Both houses will probably adjourn at most Immediately after convening on Mon day; the aenate on account of the death of Senator Johnson of North Dakota and the house because of the deaths of Represent atives L Armond of Missouri and Lassiter ol Virgin., all of which have occurred during the reoesa.

But those who are unpaid by the time the secretary gets his list checked up well, the law Is that they shall lose their franchises or charters for failure to come across by November 30. Secretary Junkin thought Inasmuch aa It Was a new law and probably galled a few fat necks. It would be wise to go slow In revoking charters, but he Is going to 'start on that list Monday. So far as a legal precedent Is concerned, Mr. Junkin rests upon the ruling of At torney General Thompson In allowing ad ditional time to political candidate for filing of their expense accounts.

Both th pro ducers of cotton and the dealer In that commodity are the victim of the system of trading In vogue on the ee.ton ex changes of th country. This Is the burd.'n of parts 4 and 5 of th report of Commissioner of Corpora tions Herbert Knox Smith on tha conduct of such exchanges. The practice of deal ing in futures, as It Is carried on at prea ent, la condemned, althought the report does not condemn tho exlstenc of the ex change.

BRITISH POLITICAL OUTLOOK Bank of Ennland Increases It Reserve Because of Bsdst Fight and. This Makes Money Scarcer. NEW YORK, Dec. 6. Various factors served to disturb special sentiment In the stock market last week. The vulnerability of the market to these factors waa largely owing to the restraint on speculative opera tions exercised by the money position. Eer since the Bank of England began to assert Its opposition to the expensive em ployments of credits In speculation by forc ing up the London money market there have been evidences of a scaling down of commitments In the New York stock mar ket and a restriction on the concentrated operations In that market by which prices had been advanced and held. The political crisis In England which cul minated In the rejection of the budget last week by the House of Lords constrains the Bank of England to maintain Its extraordi nary proportion of reserve and continues London's control of New York gold sup plies. Gold went to South America last week on London order In an undiminished stream, and combined with the special re quirement of the December settlement and some large syndicates' transactions, this made the call loan market subject to some fluerries. The maximum rate for the year naa touched again and the calling of loan by the banks restricted the supplies avail able or operations In the slock market. Anti-Trust Agitation. i he dropping tendency of prlcea thus In augurated gave weight to tho misgivings which arose over the anti-trust agitation and the prospects that It wouid grow and inttnaify.

Twenty-five stales and the federal government are represented In the exhibits of the b1r show. The Audi torium and large temporary structures erected adjoining are fl'Ied with the dls plav of King Corn and other products of the 'Iclds. FVucatlon Is th rpntral Idea of the ex position. It Is a place to see and learn. ' But little space Is occupied for the ex ploitation of private Interests and tho few exhibits that mlRht be so classified have their educational and Instructive vaue. Sunday nleht found tlm workers In tha exposition still busily hurhnv-rlns; away and Installing decoiatlons and exhibits. Tha chaos of the last week will be resolved Into order by this morning, when tha vMtors see the phow for th first tlm. Bad weather has caused a trifle of delar In the completion of the outside decora-, tlons at th entrance to the .xpo?ltlon, but It will shortly be complete In its respbjnd erry of yellow corn on a field of ilch mnv erreen. Within the attractive decorations forme! by the clever arrangement of products of the field have been enhanced by gracef.il festoons and panels of gaily colored bunt ing. The auditorium above, formed by the construction of a temporary floor at tho leel of the balcony, Is hung wlih many colored flags, a token of the International character which the exposition Is fast assuming. ) EEverett alurklngham, general managir of the T.'nlon Stock Tarda company of South Omaha, one of th booster of th Corn show, strode about th Auditorium on a tour of Investigation and survey. "Fine. Very good. Indeed," was his decision when he paused at th end of the main floor to take a general view of tTTe display. "In a day or two tr.ore all th finishing touches will be completed and this will be the best ever." I.labtln; 1 Notable Feature. The lighting of the exposition has bn skilfully handled. A complete Illumination and thorough distribution of tho radiance of thousands of Incapdescents has be.-n accomplished without making any "glar spots." A particularly artful bit of work Is In the decoration of the pillar which support the temporary floor above. Casing of plat glass lined with grain laid In carefully arranged stratas of contrasting colors con ceal the true character of the support and add to the beauty of the show. The entries of the show Include enough corn to reach for three miles If stretched out. and In samples of on peck each there Is more than 1 000 bushels of threshed grain. Of cornstalks and sheaves of grain ther Is ample to stock a very presumable field. Among the exhibits there will be shown miniature fliids of growing rrilns. with dally demonstrations of their care. In the Nebraska exhibit there Is a tiny wheat field, with the tender sprouts shoot Ins: up bravely under the electric light. A southern exhibit shows field of rice.
