Washington Aug. 5.-The first session of the
Lid Congress came to an end at ii o'clock 10
night in a rather tame aud spritless manner.
The passage Of the Durborrow bill BY the House
this afternoon broke the deadlock which has held
Congress In session week longer Than tie mana
GERS in both branches had expected and brought
adjournment within easy reach as soon as tho
routine of the enrolment and signature Of pending
bills could he accomplished. A little uncertainty
as TO the final hour Of dispersion remained until
the last. the House resolution of last week being
taken up and amended only twenty or thirty
Minutes before the end came The House dis
poscd OF the Worlds Fair measure, giving S2,5Oo,-
900 outright to the Exposition, after parliament
tary struggle of an hour or two. A fnll quorum
WIS on hand and the nlibustcrs were suppressed
without difficulty. There was no quorum III ue
senate at any time during the day, and yea
and rrav vote on thc Worlds Fair bill conld not
ba risl,cd, so the Senate was treated To the un-
usual spectacle OF numerous brief personal cXpla-
nations from the opponents OF the appropriations
10 20 into the columns Of THE Record, which
will fail to show that single vote was actually
cast in the Senate against The So, 100000 gitt.
With the Worlds Fair bill ont Of the way, the
Sundry Civil Appropriation bill was beaten INTO
shane in conference committee during the after
noon and evening the House finally yielding the
so-called ant-Pinkerton amendment to an Item
cnlarging temporarily the District police force,
which had caused great difficulty in former con-
fcrcnccs The conference report on the last OF
The approprlafion bill. was offered in the House
about 8 O'Clock, and was disposed OF III aDVut
an hour. The Senate accepted the report with
out any drhato, shortly after, and by 10 O'CLOCK
tie complete bill wos enrolled and signed and
had nFlR
Capitol, as usual, for bs approval.
The only feature of the evening session in the
IIo7se was rather sharp colloquy between Mr..
Saycrs. Of the Appropriations Committee, ana the
Sockess7 simpson, OF Kansas, over the Houses
recession from the anti-pinkcrtOn amendment In
the nate Mr. Allis n made his customary lucid and
satisfactory explanation OF the on's appropra
tions and Mr. German and Mr.. C0ckrll also
made remarks which were intended to eXculpate
their party 10 some extent from responsibility for
the increase In the total amount appropriated or
S44. 900 900 over the total for the first session of
the List or billion dollar Congress. Taken
altogether the closing day Of the prsent session
Was dull and uncvcntful tar heyond the ordinary.
Few spectators were drawn 20 the Capitol and
the scenes there proved faint and stlesS imita-
ton Of those which have characterized the end Of
the hrst session in many former years
Shortly after clock as IL customary Oh
