WASHINGTON, March 4-The fiftieth con-
gress will be noted Ia history FOR four things:
First, the admission into tho Union Of four
new states-North Dnlzotn, South Dakota,
Montana and Washington; second, for the
tariff discussion which cU.lsumed SO much
time in both house and senate; third, for the
creation of a new executive department, and
fourth, for the amount oi tilibustering that
took place in the house
The business placed before congress for con
sideration in the last two years has greatly
exceeded in the aggregate that OF any pre-
vious congress This is largely due TO the IN
crease Of measures for private relief, fact
which emphasizes the necessity SO often adj
mitted of providing some tribunal for the
arbitration Of the claims against the govern
ment which are now brought to congress for
adjudication. There were introduced in the
senate in the fiftieth congress 3, 500 bills and
1913 joint resolutions, and . 7l0 reports were
made from committees.
In the house there were Il, $50 bills, 26i
joint resolutions and 4, l54 reports.

stand to his credit in history. He had to b.
arrested by the sergeant at arms and taken
from the floor of the senate. Filled up with

securing the confirmation Of the renomina-

was voted down. He Immediately renewed
it, and Presiding Officer Ingalls, declared the
motion out Of order Riddleberger still in
sisting, ingalls, told him that he would not
again recognize Riddleherger except on the
motion Of some other senator and majority
vote.
Not yet satisfied Riddleberger kept talk

keep quiet he would have him arrested. This
warming had the effect Of taking Riddle
berger out Of the chamber, and when he re
turned a few minutes later he stated that he
had telegraphed the governor Of Virginia hi,

been treated as he had Ingalls, motioned tn,
