The session of Sunday lasted until 10 at
night The delay in the adjournment Of con-
gress was caused by the demand of the senate
that they shall have private secretaries at the
expense of the government There are forty
three committees Of the senate, and each COM
mittee has a clerk; each clerk acts as private
secretary to the chairman of the committee in
addition to his official duties.
The house fnallyyieldedt the point, but insisted
that a direct appropriation OF 81, 900 should be
made for the private secretaries, and that they
should not be paid out of the contingent fund,
so that the responsibility of this questionable
expenditure might rest entirely upon the SEN
ate.
Second, the appropriation for building up
the navy. This could not be settled The
Democrats refused to appropriate the money
to complete tine cruisers now on the stocks, and
it was agreed to postpone the contest until next
- u.
for six months. Third, the appropriation of
S2J0,OOO for q secret service fund for
the state department The senate receded
from this, and the provision was strick-
en- out. Fourth-The reduction and
consolidation of internal revenue districts,
which had been provided for by the house. On
this point the house receded. Eifth-The
Springer amendment to the sundry civil bill,
abolishing the system of fees for United States
marshals and district attorneys, and giving
them salaries instead. Gu this point the house
surrendered These points having been set
tied, the house met at ) O'Clock, and the action
of the conference was endorsed.
The president arrived at his room in the
capitol at IL o'clock, his cabinet and private
secretaries accompanying him, and remained
until after midnight He signed the fortiics-
tons and postofiee appropriation bill, and a
number of private pension bills.
The electoral vote will be counted in the old
way next February. The bill which was in
tended TO remedy the defects of the law passed

conference could not agree upon points of diff
ference.
Amounts finally agreed upon to enable the
several executive departments to participate in
the industrial expositions the current fiscal
year are as follows: Louisville $4,000; New
Orleans, 100000; Cincinnati, $1,000
Usually the close of a session is marked by a
drunken carousal, but this year there have
been none but the most orderly proceedings.
The president has signed the river and har-
Dor bill There were rumors of a veto, but
they were unfounded-
Congress viii undoubtedly adjourn on Mon
day.
Mr.. Reed of Maine and Mr. Brown of Indian
have been appointed to the committee of ways
and means to fill the vacancies caused by the
unseating of Maj. Mckinley of Ohio and the
appointment of Mr.. Kasson as minister to Aus
tTia Mr.. Valentine of Nebraska and Mr.. Par
ker of New York have been selected to fill the
vacancies on the Judiciary committee vacated
by the promotion of Messrs. Brown and Reed
Mr.. Long goes to the committee on appoint
ments to fill the vacancy caused by Mr.. Cal
kins' resignation, and Mr.. Hepburn Of Iowa is
given Mr.. Longs place on the committee of
Monday was the last day of the session. The
house adjourned, as it always does, in confu-
sion, and the closing scenes were very amusing.
The senate backed Town on the naval appro-
priation bill, but not without a division and
while that was going on the other end of the
capitol was a perfect babel. Speaker Carlisle
went to Chicago and Blackburn was in the
chair. The Mexican pension bill was the reg
ular order and blockaded the channels of leg
islation as it has done for a week, its oppon-
ents hlibustering to prevent its passage and its
advocates refusing to withdraw it. Hence all
business had to be done by unanimous consent,
a single objection being fatal at all times to
all propositions, except the regular appropri-
alton bills.
One Of the last bills passed was to remove
me ponucal disabilities of a private of the
United States SO that he couId ka Dromotad N
