Notwithstanding this, the bill was read tbri
time and passed. ''"u
On motion Of Mr. Benton, a vote Of thanh.
was unanimously awarded to Hon Willie
Mangum, President pro tenn of The sena,.
for the ability and mpartaty with v5;nh a hi
has presided over the deliberations of tbe San
ate. IL was now nearly half past twelve M
merous subjects had been taken up. dscusssJ
and laid on the liable or referred several NJ
vale bills had been attempted, but LOST ard
the senate, IN state OF excitement. was UNI,
ing for the action Of the House.
Several private bills were then nassed .ra
motions ordering the printing of extra Comics
OF documents were adopted. The senate p,;lI
waiting for the Army and Fertilization Ammo.
pration bills, grew quite impatient as one o.
CLOCK approached The bill providing for .Jpdo-
es W iowa, (which had been deferred TO he
fI'neu WIN s'mI,ar OH expected from the
House concerning Florida, was passed,
One O'Clock passed and this bill was reported
from the Committee Of Conference. toge,ber
with the Army and Fertilization hills Chsr
were passed, but the Senate could moi adiou,n
unt'I they were signed. No farther business
however was done. Just before two. reso.
luiion from The House appointing committee
10 ask the President if he had any further COM
munlcatlon 10 make was received and concrr-
red IN, and the committee So appointed brouob,
back reply in the negative Mr. Manonm
me President Of the Senate pro TEN expressed
ms acknowledgements TO the Senate-and that
oody passed away not 10 meet again.
The Senate held no Executive Session on
MONDAY, so that the last expectations with re-
gard TO MIR Tylel's nominations were cut off.
Ihe House Of Representatives. at The Begin
ming oil the evening session went Immediately
INTO committee, and discussed great MANY
u = u, subjects IN turn Among these, the
bill providing for three district ridges in Flori-
"a was reported with an amendment, provid-
ing mat their salary should be $4,000 each,
and IN this form was passed and sent 10 the
Senate. During the evening, continually. the
House was resolving itself into committee. and
me committee rising and reporting bills to the
Senate. The committees of conference with
the Senate, on bills about which the Two hon.
SEES had agreed, reported from time TO time. and
Mr. Dromgoole, and other doughty representa-
tives, showed a great deal of spirit in MAIN
tanning that the lower house should not be
made the mere registrar of DEGREES from The
senate, and stTenuously urged that it should
insist on IFS amendments. In the midst of all
this the army, navy, and fertilization bills. rs II
has been seen from the Senate proceedings
were passed by mutual compromise between
The two branches, as were the bills providing
district Judges for The two new states of Iowa
and Florida. What important bills have fallen
through under the custom of deferring real bu-
s'ness to the last moment il is impossible vet to
say. The Smithsonian bill was laid aside in
the House and was lost; the foreign postage
bill was passed in the House, but we see no no.
tlce Of IFS receiving its signature in the Senate.
\ ne Oregon bill failed in the House, and the
Dill lot indemnlying claimants for the French
spoliations prior 10 1900, in the Senate.
In the course of the night, vote of thanks
10 Mr Speaker Jones was moved by Mr. White
formerly Speaker and carried Upon mo.
lion TO adjourn being made, after the formal
notices had been given TO The President and the
Senate that the House had completed its bust
ness, the Speaker replied in an affecting speech
and the House adjourned sine die.
80 the twenty-eighth Congress concluded lis
proceedings. =
