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
expenscrof the government. There are forty
three committees Of the senate, and each COM
mittee has q clerk; each clerk acts as private
secretary to the chairman of the committee in
adultlOn to his official duties.
The house finallyyieldedt the point, but insisted
that a direct appropriation of IS, 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
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
for six months. Third, the appropriation of
$250,000 for a secret service fund for
the state department. The senate receded
from this, and the provision was strick;

this point the house reccded. Hfth-The

surrendered. These points having been set
tied, the house met at s 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 f~ortifica-
tons and postottice appropriation bill, and o
number of private pension bills.

several executive departments to participated in

they were unfounded.

Monday was the last day of the session. The
mousse adjourned, as it always docs, in confu-
sion, and the closing scenes were very amusing.
The senate backed down on the naval appro-
prlation bill, but not without q 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
CHAR. The Mexican pension bill was the reg
ular order and blockadcd the channels of leg
lslatlon as it has done for a week, its oppon-
ents filibustering to prevent its passage and it's
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 a private of tho
United States so that he could be promoted to
sergeant, and another was to grant a pension
