Washington, Nov. 2.-There was tn,
usual avalanche of bills and reportt
marking the closing hours of congress
The joint committee of the house and
senate was appointed to notify the
president that if he had no further
communications, congress was ready to
adjourn. At p. m. the house adjourn
ed sine die. Before adjournment the
house voted two years salary to the
widow of the late Chaplain Haddaway.
Washington, Nov. 3.--The senate has
passed the house joint resolution for
final adjournment at 8 p. m., this after
noon, so at that hour the extra ses-
sion will close. This resolution was
not passed without opposition. Coke,
Dolph, Harris, Call Mills, Allen, and
Peffer spoke against adjourhing on
the ground that there was important
business which ought to be transacted
promptly, Cullon said that If congress
would, before adjourning announce to
the country that it did not intend
either to repeal the election laws or the
tariff law, it would be doing very
good piece of work. r.
Qater),-The clock was turned back
six minutes in order to allow the senate
to complete its business, at the con-
clusion of which it also adjourned sine
die. The adjournment defeated the
deficiency bill and other pending meas
ures.
The senate adjourned without con-
firming the nomination of Judge Horn
blower to the supreme bench. This has
the effect of rejection.
Washington Nov 3.-"The adjourn
ment of this long to be remembered
session of congress brings with it a
great sense of relief" Senator Voorhees,
rad been asked by an Associated Press
for ar interview, and
it was with the above statement that
he began. Continuing, he said: I'VE
met amidst crash of business disas-
ters, bank failures, and all the dis
tressful incidents of one of the worst
financial panics ever known in this or
any other country. We adjourn with
quiet business circles and fair degree
CT restored confidence prevailing in all
parts of the country. 1t will of course
take time for the various business pur-
suits to fully recover from the over
" helming financial shock and depres-
sion which have afflicted the country
for the last six months, but signs Of a
healthy improvement are now visible
cn every hand, and good omens for the
Of labor come from all
quarters"
When requested to state his views
about future legislation, the senator
only consented to say: 1.-THE revision
If the tariff taxation ought now to
follow. The regular session is only
thirty days distant. 1 predict we will
enter upon solid and lasting career
of prosperity for the laboring and pro-
lucing masses in every section of our
beloved union" Said Voorhees, in re-
)ly to a question:
ION the democratic side cf the cham
Ger, while there are very strong differ
onces of opinion, I do not know of
,ingle unfriendly feeling left by the
orotracted discussion. Neither party or
ganizations nor personal relations have
been disturbed. We will take up our
work on the tariff and other great ques-
ions when we meet here in December,
rs if nothing had happened to mar
our peace with one another. or to i'm
pair our strength for the public good.
Our faith in the thoroughly patriotic
han now, and to my mind the future
wears bright and promising aspect"
