ln(r Trust.
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

Senator Johnson of North Dakota and the

Trading in Cotton Futures

WASHINGTON, Pec. B. Both th pro

of trading In vogue on the ee.ton ex

of such exchanges. The practice of deal

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. Reports from Washington of tho

" Travelogue Lecture.
othei mzsthtob.
American toolety of Astronomy, at Hotel
Bom.
The National Corn exposition opens this
morning at t o'clock, after many busy
weelts of preparation. 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. It
will bd Irrleatt-d dally to show the visltois
lust how. this Ceh'stial cereal grows.
Prominent among thn attractlona of th
big show outr.ld of Its technicalities will
be the dslly concerts by the Mexican Na
tional band, which wl'l be her throughout
the show. The concerts begin with the
program for thla afternoon, which, aa an
nounced by the director, Francisco Puran,
