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
mittee has clerk; each clerk acts as private
secretary to the chairman Of the committee in
addition to his official duties.
The house fnallyyielded the point, but insisted
that direct appropriation of 81, 600 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 the cruisers now on the stocks, and
it was agreed to postpone the contest until next
wear and extend the present appropriations
for six months Third, the appropriation of
$250,00O for a secret service fund foI
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 Fifth-The
Springer amendment to the sundry civil bill,
marshals and district attorneys, and giving
them salaries instead. On this point the house
surrendered. These points having been set
tied, the house met at o'clock, and the action
of the conference committee was endorsed. =.
The president arrived at his room in the
capitol at II o'clock, his cabinet and private
secretaries accompanying him, and remained
until after midnight He signed the fortifica-
tions and postoffice appropriation bill, and a
number of private pension bills.
The electoral vote will be counted in the ole
way next February. The bill which was in
tended to remedy the defects of the law passed
both houses of congress, but the committee OF
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
wear are as follows: Louisville $4,000; New
Orleans, $500, 200; Cincinnati 900.
Usually the close of session is marked by q
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 veto, but
they we're unfounded
Congress will undoubtedly adj ourn 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
tria 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
commerce.
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 down on the naval appro-
priation bill, but not without division and
while that was going Oh the other end of the
capitol was 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 week, its oppon-
ents flibustering 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
the political disabilities of private of the
United States so that he could be promoted to
sergeant, and another was to grant pension
to lady who is over eighty two years of age.
Mr.. Blackburn then made a pretty speech OF
farewell and announced the final adjournment
of the session. The senate was stupid, orderly
and sleepy. There was a little breeze over the
naval bill, but it didn't amount to anything.
The president sat in his room back of the SEN
ate lobby all the morning, signing bills and
making out nominations. His cabinet were
with him and all the senators called to pay
their respects.
