JThis Includes The Election ol a SpeaKer and tOther Officers and the Drawing of Seats by the Members. '(SpecialWire to tbe ABatrs) ' Washington, D. C, Nov. 30. The first session of the Sixtieth Congress .tit AAnv.nD a.t noon Monday. The V session has been looked forward to as one likely to be more than ordinarily interesting. When Congress meets just before a Presidential campaign, as In' the present case, the policy of the leaders of the majority has always been to confine the session more to oratory than to action. But the session about to begin will prove an exception to the rule. The demand for currency legis lation cannot be ignored. Since the present financial flurry began columns -of newspaper spaee have been devoted to expressions oi opinion from bank rs, business men, manufacturers, merchants and others, showing how pressing these people believe the sub ject to be. Other matters of great political and al iuioortance also demand Attention. Many tpiII be contained in message. Though lew oi them, of course, will be enacted into law at the present session tl mjjcrrty .of the frub v jects will at least come up tor discuss ion. The control of railroads and other corporations doing an interstate busi ness will receive attention, including proposed amendments to the Sherman anti-trust law. Other recommendations will proba bly include a graduated inheritance tax, consideration of a Federal income tax, the revision of the tariff on im ports fromthe Philippines, the passage of a modified shipping bill, the crea tion of postal savings banks, the es tablishment of a more effective. public health service than now exists, and the extension of the parcels post. The demand for the exclusion of the Japanese will be another serious prob lem with which the administration and Republican leaders in Congress-will have to deal, T,he Pacific coast States are insistent that Japanese shall be ex cluded from American soil, and the delegation in Congress from those States will urge legislation. That the administration is keenly apprehensive as to the situation is shown by the re fusal of the Department of Commerce of Labor to discuss Japanese immigra tion and the determination of Secretary Straus to suppress the publication ol bulletins showing the volume of Japa nese immigration. Mondavjyill be devoted to the work of organization, and the President's messaere will not be presented until the following day. "Vice Fairbanks will call the Senate to order Monday, while the House will be call ed to order by the clerk. In the House greater interest at taches to the proceedings because a complete organization will be necessa ry. This includes the election of a speaker and other officers imd the drawing of seats by the members of the House. The Democrats will hold their cau cus in the House of Representatives this evening. The incipient, revolt against the rule of John Sharp Wil liams, of Mississippi, as minority leader in the House has died out, and it is expected that he will be selected with little or no opposition. Among the Republicans it is settled that Representative Cannon shall suc ceed himself as Speaker, and he will be nominated in the , Republican caucus for the t&ird time, without a voice in opposition. The old officers of the House will be re-elected, as the com bine which organized the House jsev ' eral'years ago is still sufficiently co hesive to prevent any of the new mem bers from undoing the programme the ' veterans have mapped out. There is a contest over the postmastership, as a vacancy caused by death . exists, sid Ohioans are fighting it out among themselves for this office. ' the post master of the House being " the office apportioned to Ohio under the old com bine. Mr. Frye, of Maine, will again be chosen president pro tempore of the Senate, but as Vice President Fair banks has a habit of being' always in his seat and punctual in - attendance, Mr. Frye will have little to do. The other officers of the Senate hold over. , Including Senators Gore and Owen, of Oklahoma, in regard to whom there may be some contest, and Smith, of Michigan, Curtis, of Kansas, and Du Pont, of Delaware, who took their seats, filling vacancies, late in the last session, there will be eighteen new men in the Senate. These will be Bank head and Johnson, of Alabama, Borah, of Idaho, Bourne, of Oregon, Briggs, of New Jersey, Brown, of Nebraska, Davis, of Arkansas, Dixon, of Montana, Guggenheim, of Colorado, Paynter, of Kentucky, Richardson, of Delaware, Stephenson, ot Wisconsin, and Taylor, of Tennessee.

There is to be exemplification of the fact dur ing the next few weeks that the Repub lican organizition in North Carolina, Is not the harmonious solidified 'affair that has been pictured to the people of the State. The contest over - office is about to be renewed and the spectacle of the "outs" lambasting the "ins" wiirbe at its height. This annual out break occurs when the executive ses sions of the Senate begin for the confir mation oi Presidential appointments. There are several contests, ot long standing over postraaterships, which will be aired in the Senate early n the session. ' The more prominent contests from North Carolina are those over the boro postmasterships.. The organiza tion in the State will endeavor to prize Mr. Grant out of the Goldsboro office, and an equally strong fight will be made to keep Mr. Douglass in the Greensboro office.

This is an Lv One of the Most Notable and BrilliantJ Weddings That The National Capital Has Seen In a Long Time Took Place This Afternoon. Special to the Argus. Washington, D. C, Nov. 27. One oi the most notable and brilliant wed dings that the National Capital has seen in a long time took place this af ternoon, when Miss Edith Root, daugh ter of the Secretary of State and Mrs. Root, became the bride of Lieutenant Ulysses S. Grant, third, Engineer l Corps, U. S. A., son of Major General Frederick D. Grant, U. S. A., and a grandson of Gen. U. S.Grant. The ceremony was performed at the Root family residence in Rhode Island Ave nue in the presence of a distinguished '.ompany, which included the Presi- loiit and Mrs. Roosevelt, members ot younger set in Washington. She is a cultivated young woman of the conser vative type, and an accomplished linguist. She has been her father's frequent companion in his rides about Washington, and is a good horsewoman, both in the saddle and as a whip. She has been known as one of the besi- gowned young women in Washington society. Among her most intimate friends are Miss Jaunt Fish and the Misses McCook, of New York, wrta have visited her frequently in Wash ington. JLieut. Grant is a brother of the Prin cess Cantacuzene ot Russia, and a. nephevv ot Mis. Potter P.dmer, the social dictator of Chicago. END IN SIGHT. of the president and director, is the last of the Jamestown ' Exposition period. The passing of the Exposition will not be marked by any elaborate literary exercises, Out toward midnight there will be a grand display of fire works and the bands will play patriot ic exercises. Though the fair has been an artistk; success and has been a great advertise ment to this section and the stringency of the money market have made the enterprise a financial failure. There is some talk that the Expoi- recommendations j t lon wiii open jn some shape next sum the President s j mer but tbe overwhelming debt and the fact that the State appropriations are all exhausted make it very im probable. . .

It is heard with regularity every four years. Mr. Roosevelt, who has gained a certain amount, of popularity in the South, is said to be very much im- pressed with this line of bunco talk I that has been handed him by Tar Heel Republicans. It is known that he has been told that he could easily carry bolh North Carolina and Tennessee if nominated again. This kind of talk gives a degree of importance to Re publican politicians in the State which they, could not otherwise obtain. No body knows this better than these self same leaders. This briefly explains the excursions of tlie numerous band of Tar Heel Republicans to the White House during the past few weeks. NOTICE.

Chairman Tom Taggart left the air and luxuries oi French -Lick long enough to explain that the regulation of trusts and the tariff will be the princi pal issues of the next'Democratic plat lorm. Politics and platform making are notoriously uncertain, but it is reasonably certain that Mr. Tom Tag gart and.French Lick will have very little to do with the preparation of the next Democratic national platform. If Mr. Bryan is to stand on that platform as chief standard bearer there is a plank that will outrank in value, activity and importance even the two named by Mr. Tom Taggart, of French Lick, Ind. : That plank will demand immediate, perhaps daily, publication of all campaign subscriptions. This plank will be basic, for unless the peo ple know who is putting up the money they will not know who expects to con trol the administration incase of the election of their nominee. Th Demo crats' should make publicity of cam paign funds their chief plank, bad as the trusts are and villainous as the Dingley scheme of robbing the many for the benefit of the few unmistakably is. But all three planks are needed, and the Democracy will assuredly win if they support a candidate on 'a plat form demanding all three. And each day 's subscriptions should be publish ed, thereby confusing the party that rushes off to wildcatting magnates of the Harriman sort in every emergency, but not to the extent of shaming them into publicity also, for that is impossi ble. They darejnot do that. Alter the ceremony the guests ad journed to the large reception room across the hall, where the bride and bridegroom received in a bower of palms and white roses. The President was the first to offer his congratula tionsand was followed by a long list of cabinet officers, Congressmen, mem bers of the judiciary, diplomatic and prominent representatives of resident society. The wedding of Miss Root and Lieut. Grant unites twoof the foremost fami lies of America, families which have been conspicuous both in peace and war and have done their full share in shaping the destinies of the republic. Befitting, in a sense, the history of his family, Lieut. Grant first met his bride-to-be in the White House, while serv ing as military aide to President Roosevelt. . Lieut. Grant received his early edu cation in Europe, where he attended the State military school of Austria, during the four years of his father's term as American Minister to tbat Court. On their return to America he entered the Colunitjtft University, and was graduated in 1898. He immediate ly joined his father in Porto Rico for the Cuban war, where he had his first taste of warfare. 9 On his return to New York he enter ed the Military Academy at West Point, receiving his appointment from President McKLaley on the strength of a letter from the young man's illus trious grandfather, General Ulysses S. Grant. General Grant, before he died, left a letter to whoever should be Pres ident when his grandson was old enough to enter West Point, asking for a Presidential appointment. When the time came, Mr. McKinley was in the White House, and promptly acceded to the wish of his predecessor. Lieut. Grant was graduated from West Point in 1902, sixth in his class, and was sent at once to the Philippines, where he remained for three years. When he returned he began a course of study at the War College here, acting at the same time as military aide to the President. Recently he was trans ferred to Boston for duty, and in that city he and. Mrs. Grant will take up their residence after the honeymoon trip. The bide of today is the only daugh ter of the Secretary of State and Mrs. Root, and, although she made her debut several yeaijs ago, she has never com pletely lidentifie'd herself with" the ' Initiative and Referendum. One ot these Congressmen remarkedl todayrtiowever, that he bar tly expect ed to see the plan succad, that : he believed Bryan "would insist upon I being his own undertaker." ECZEMA ON HIS EYES AND FACE Afflicted Five Years Medical Treat ment of No Benefit lnexpress-i ible Suffering from Burning' and Itching Cuticura Affords INSTANT RELIEF AND A COMPLETE CURE "I had been troubled more or less) for five years with eczema, but not seriously until two years ago. Then my eyelids would swell at times and crack open, hard scabs would form on mr" face, and at sucn tiroes I suffered more) than I can explain. I had employed sev eral doctors, but re ceived no relief until I gave the Cuticura Remedies a trial. I used Cuticura Soap and hot water to bathe my face, and applied Cuticura Ointment. This gave me instant relief, in that it stopped the itching and burning and softened the skin, and in less than one month I was cured of the disease. I continued to use Cuticura Resolvent Pills for mora than six months and have used Cuti cura Soap ever since. The cure in my case was complete, and the cost waa nothing compared with the doctors" bills. The Cuticura Remedies are a Sodsend to any one. John B. Mooreu ihester, Vt., Jan. 6 and March 6, 1907. DANDRUFF Lasted Twenty Years, Cured by Cuticura Remedies. 'Tor twenty years I had dandruff of the worst kind. I had tried doctors and all kinds of hair,tonics, but none helped me. My head was covered all over and when I got warm and sweaty it would itch so I could hardly keep my hands off it. I saw Cuticura Remedies advertised and used the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent. The first treatment stopped my head from itching, and two bottles of Resol vent and two boxes of Cuticura Oint ment cleaned my head of dandruff and now I am completely cured. A. A.
