Washington. Dec. 8. When tha sen
ate convened yesterday to begin tha
closing session of the Fifty-fifth con
gress the chamber presented a notable
and beautiful appearance. By 11
o'clock the public and private gal
leries were filled almost to their ca
pacity with distinguished assemblages,
Including many ladles In brilliant at
tire. On the floor of the senate the
display of flowers was unusually beau
tiful, even for the opening day of a
aesslon of congress. The odor of the
flowers filled the chamber.
The reading of tha president's mes
sage, which occupied two hours and
eighteen minutes, was received wltr
very careful attention for an hour, but
after that the senators drifted to th-
cloak rooms or to the committee rooms.
where they could peruse the message
at their leisure In the printed copies
which ad been furnished them.
The opening session of the house wa
also a spectacular occasion, animated
end brilliant. There were more than
the usual number of distinguished per
sonages in the thronged galleries. One
of the most strlnklng Incidents was the
cordial meeting between the floor lead
ers of the respective sides, Messrs.
Dingley and Bailey. The speaker
named Mr. Bailey as the minority
member of the committee to wait upon
the president, an honor always be
stowed upon the recoitnlied leader of
the minority. Mr. W. A. Stone, of
Pennsylvania. Mr. McMlllln, of Tennes
see, and Mr. Bayers, of Texas, who have
been elected governors of their respec
tive states since congress adjourned,
were overwhelmed with congratula
tions. The floral tributes were unu

glare of fire was seen. The Dalecar
lla, altering her course, at 9.10 o'clock
came alongside of a ship ablaze from
the stern to the foremast, while a large
yellow funneled German steamship
was standing In near the flaming,
pitching wreck. Nobody could be seen
on the decks of the burning vessel, nor
were there any boats struggling amid
the waves, so It la probable that the
crew were rescued by the steamship
which was waiting to note the end.
The steamer by the burning ship was
either the Werra or the Fulda, of the
North German Lloyd line.
