Items of Interest

The first session of the Fifty-seventh Congress began Monday, December 2.

Delaware's two seats in the Senate still remain vacant. The third party men have determined to go into one or the other of the old parties. Of the eighty-eight Senators fifty-six are Republicans and thirty-two Demoerats.

In the House there will be 197 Republicans, 152 Democrats, and eight independents, who it is thought will vote with the Democrats. Since Congress adjourned nearly two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars has been expended in refurnishing and redecorating the House and its committee rooms and offices.
