52D CONGRESS
Tiie Second Session Opened
With a Beautiful Win-
ter Day.
CRISP TAKES THE CHAIR.
Condolence* Rs Well a* Congratulations
Were the Order of the Day—The Demo-
crats as a Kule Congregated In the Rear
Of the Democratic Hide of the House and
Indulged tn a Conversational I.ove Feast.
The Senate—Shooting at LeadviUe—The
Colorado Count.
Washington, Dec. 5.—A beautiful,
crisp, winter day ushered in the second
session of the 52nd congress, and long
before the hour of noon spectators be-
gan to arrive at the house wing of the
capitol, in order to secure advantage
of seats in the galleries. Members also
began to arrive early and the scene
presented ou the floor was a lively and
bustling one. Condolences as well as
congratulations were the order of the
day, and political friends, and foes
greeted one another. Ex-Speaker
Reed was among the first to appear in
the hall, and after he took his seat, he
was greeted by men of all political
opinions. The Democrats as a rule
congregated in the rear of the Demo-
cratic side of the house and indulged
in a conversational love feast. Hand-
some floral tributes decked many of
the desks, the most impressive and ap-
propriate being that which adorned
the seat of Mr. Herbert, of Alabama,
who is at present the chairman of the
committee or naval affair, but who
declined a nomination to the fifty-third
congress. It was an immense ship
composed of immortelles and roses and
attracted much attention.
Shortly before noon Mr. Springer of
Illinois, made his appearauce and he
was immediately the center of attrac-
tion on the Democratic side. One of
the first to greet him was Mr. MoMil
lan, his able co-ad,jutor on the ways
and means committee, and Mr. Cach-
ings of Mississippi, the floor manager
of the committee on rules, which iu a
great measure shapes the legislation of
the house. As the hands of the clock
pointed to the hour of two, Speaker
Crisp ascended to the chair and as his
gavel dropped a solemn hush followed
the noise and confusion. The blind
chaplain, the Rev. Dr. Millburn, deliv-
ered a brief and impressive prayer.
The clerk, by dictation of the speaker,
proceeded to call the roll of members
by states. Two hundred and twenty-
four members having responded to
their names, on motion of Mr. Molman
of Indiana, it was ordered that the
clerk inform the senate that a quorum
had appeared and that the house was
ready to proceed to business. A com-
mittee composed of Messrs. Springer,
Forney and O’Neill of Pennsylvania,
was appointed to join a committee of
the senate to annouuee to the presi-
dent that both houses of congress
were iu session and ready to
receive any communication he
saw fit to make. The
credentials were presented of the elec-
tion of the new representatives. The
daily hour of the meeting of the house
was fixed at twelve noon. Mr. Hooker,
of Mississippi, introduced a bill to
change the meeting of congress to the
first Monday in November after elec-
tion. Referred. A recess was then
taken for half an hour.
The speaker took the chair after
recess, but it was a quarter of an hour
before t'je committee appointed to wait
upon the president made its report.
It was to the effect that the president
would communicate with congress to-
morrow.
Mr. English of New Jersey, announc-
ed the death of his oolleague, Hou.E.J.
McDonald, of New Jersey, and as a
mark of respect to the deceased, the
house adjourned.
THE SENATE.
A beautiful, bright,.sunny day, gave
an added attraction to that which
usually draws crowds to witness the
opening of a new session of congress.
There were no outward manifestations
of triumph or despondency over the re-
sults of the recent election. Attend-
ance of senators was large, numbering
,some 70. Neither of the New York
senators were present. For the first
time in 44 years, Mr. Dennis Murphy,
the official reporter, was absent from
his desk at the opening of a session
—his absence being caused by
illness. Vice-President Morton
called the senate to order
at noon and Chaplain Butler, opened
proceedings with prayer. Then the
credentials of Mr. Proctor, of Vermoutt
for Mr. Edmund’s unexpired term and
for a new term from the fourth of
March next were presented by Mr.
Merril, and the oath of office was ad-
ministered to Mr. Proctor. The usual
resolution directing the Secretary to
notify the House of the Senates’ being
in session and for appointment of a
committee to wait on the President
aud inform him that congress is ready
to receive any communication he may
desire to make, was agreed to. And
then Mr. Sherman proposed an ad-
journment on the ground that accord-
ing to the public press, the President’s
message would uot be ready until to-
morrow. Mr. Harris expressed a
doubt as to the reliance to be placed
in the public press, and suggested a
recess instead of an adjournment, and
as Mr. Sherman assented to that sug-
gestion the senate at 12;45 o’clock took
a recess until 1 o’clock p. m.
On reasembling at 1 o’clock there
was a delay of over half an hour pend-
ing the report of the committee ap-
pointed to wait on the president. That
report was made by Mr. Hale who said
that the president would send his mes-
sage tomorrow at the opening of con-
gress. The senate then adjourned
until tomorrow at noon.

PREPARING TO ADJOURN
Shooting at Lcadville.
Leadville, Colo., Dec. 5.- Shortly
before noon today McPhatton, better
known as “Icicle Jim,” shot and killed
James Goss, colored, at the Pioneer
saloon on State street. McPhatton
at once went to the jail and gave him-
self up, It seems that Goss wanted to
borrow two dollars from McPhatton.
The latter refused to make the loan.
The men had some hot words and the
negro knocked “Icicle Jim” down aud
beat him unmercifully about the head.
They were separated and both went
out. Soon after they retuined. Mc-
Phatton walked to one of the gaming
tables while the negro stayed in the
lower part of the building. Soon the
two men met again. A few more hot
words ensued and then the negro start-
ed for the bar, where his revolver was
lying. McPhatton pulled his revolver
just as Goss got hold of the gun on the
bar, McPhatton fired instantly hitting
Goss in the head and killing him. He
fell to the floor with a groan, dropping
the revolver. McPhatton kept on tir-
ing until his revolver was empty, but
the other bullets all went wide of the
dead man, lodging in the bar and the
ice box. McPhatton claims that if he
had not fired as quickly as he did the
negro would have killed him.
The Colorado Conut.
Denver, Dec. 5.—The state canvas-
sing board today completed the count
on|senators and representatives aud
the footing shows 39 Republicans and
36 Populists and Democrats in the
lower house, giving the Republicans
the majority in the organization of the
body. But there are contests
against the three Republicans from El
Paso county and the seat of Sanches,
Republican from Covilla county is
also contested by Dorris, Democrat.
Williams, Republican, also contests
the seat of Bromly, (Populist) from
Arapahoe county. The senators newly
elected stand: Republicans 10, Popu-
lists 11 and two straight Democrats,
and 12 holdover senators, who stand
as follows: Six Democrats, five Re-
publicans and one Populist, so that the
political complexion of the senate on
organization will he 15 Republicans,
12 Populists and 8 Democrats. The
footings ou the vote for congressmen
from the second district were: gddy.
Republican, 19,572, Bell, Democrat
and Populist, 31,557, Keatof, Prohibi-
tion, 643, Bells plurality 11,785.
Wyoming'* Two Governor*.
Cheyenne, Dec. 5.—Wyoming still
has t he remarkable spectacle of two al-
leged governors, Governor-elect Os-
borne and a party of his friends called
at, the capital this morning and an-
nounced that they wanted to canvass
the vote. Acting Governor Barber re-
fused to have the votes canvassed or to
let Osborne be present when the can-
vass does take place. It begins to look
as though trouble might come at any
moment. Governor-elect Osborne has
plenty of grit and staying qualities,
and says he is governor anyway. Act-
ing Governor Barber says he will act as
governor until he has canvassed the
vote cast at the late election. Mean-
time Private Secretary Dyer appointed
Saturday by Governor Osborne holds
down the governor’s office for Osborne,
and General Medium looks after Bar-
ber’s interests. Both really have pos-
session.
Cleveland Iu New York.
New York, Dec. 4.—President-elect
Grover Cleveland arrived at the Jersey
City depot, at 7:30 o’clock rhis morning
direct from Hog Island, Va., where he
has been the guest of the Broadwater
club for nearly two weeks past. Mr.
Cleveland sent word to the reporter,
that he had not decided when he would
go to Lakewood, N. Y., where Mrs.
Cleveland aud baby Ruth have been
been staying during his absence, if at
all. It was probable Mrs. Cleveland
would return to New York today or to
morrow.
If Despite the A cl verse Report of the Com-
mittee, the Full Conference Adopt* the
Kottmchild Plan, a Number of Delegate*
Will Want the Conference to Clo*e and
Adjourn on December 10 at the Latest.

The American Yacht Cup Challenged.
New York, Dec. 5.—The Cunard
steamer Auriaua, which arrived here
late last night, bears the challenge of
the Royal Yacht squadroon for the
America's cap sent iu behalf of Lord
Dunraviu. As soon as the official
challenge is received at the house of
the New York Yacht Club a special
meeting of the club will be called to
act upon it. _
Senator Gibson's Illness.
Hot Springs, Ark., Deo. .5—Senator
Gibson is barely alive, and that is pll
that can be said of his condition up to
noon today. The doctors don’t think
he can possibly live throughout the
day.
Brussels, Dec. 5 —Wheu the Inter-
national Monetary Conference resumes
its sittings tomorrow, the first matter
pending settlement will be whether the
report of the committee appointed to
consider the Rothschild plan, shall be
further debated or the proposal of the
American delegates proceeded with.
Mr. Rothschild, Sir C. Freemautle and
Sir William Huidsworth, all of whom
are British delegates, desires some ex-
pression of opinion regarding Mr.
Rothschild’s plan from the full confer-
ence. Mr. Certram Burrie, another
British delegate, aims to bring the con-
ference to a speedy close, and iu com-
mon with some other delegates, who re-
signed to see the conference result in a
failure, would accelerate the considera
tion of the American resolution as
hastening the winding up of the meet-
ing. Sir Freemantle with a view to
the resumption of the debate on the
Rothschild plan, has amended his de-
claration, declining to pledge the Eng-
lish government to withdraw
its half soverign pieces in
favor of silver by adding the words
“Except concurrently with the adbp-
tion of the Rothschild pioject or
some other proposal having the same
compensatory value.” Sir Freemantle,
who is deputy master of the British
mint, has never been known to take
independent action, or personal initia-
tive, aud it is therefore taken for
granted that he is the mouthpiece of
the British government in announcing
assent to the abolition of half souver-
igns. If despite the adverse report of
the committee, the full conference
adopts the Rothschild plan, a number
of delegates will want the conference
to close or adjourn on December 10 at
the latest. If an adjournment is
taken, it is doubtful if there will be a
full attendance wheu the sittings are
resumed in January.
I>r. Graves Again up for Trial.
Denver, Dec. 5.—The December

noon today with L. M. Goddard, the

now under sentence of death, will come
up for argument at 2 o’clock this after-
noon, on the motion for an appeal to
the supreme court.
Chicago Luke Front Cases.
Washington, Dec. 5.—-The United
States supreme court today affirmed

the well known Chicago lake front

favor of the local authorities, and held
the Illinois Central did not have a

Cleveland is Invited.
Denver, Colo., Dec. 5.—Secretary
Gluey Newell of the Chamber of Com-
merce, today mailed president elect
Grover Cleveland an invitation to be
present at the annual banquet of the
Chamber of Commerce and Board of
Trade, to be given some time in Janu-
ary. ____________
