out of the way when the house roconyened
at O'Clock in the morning, and the time
was dawdled away until II O'Clock, the
only feature being rather brisk but brief
debate ON the results to flow from the pro
ieoted monetary conference.

president to inform him that congress was
ready to adjourn, and the other formali-
ties of the end of congress were gone

best feeling prevailed. The resolution OF
thanks to the speaker which usually came
from a member Of the majority, was offer
ed by Mr. Cannon of Illinois in q very
} graceful speech bearing testimony to tht
: high appreciation in which the presiding
officer was held by the Republican mi
nority.

, son Of Kansas, representing the Populists
Joined in the expressions of thanks for tn
) oourtesies and kindnesses extended by tn
Q speaker.
All the kindly sentiments were applaud
ed and when Mr. Crisp himself aseende
the rostrum to return his thanks and dc
livor his parting words the demonstration
+ was terrific.
At the conclusion Of his speech, just bt
+ foro declaring The house adjourned, he al
4 pointed Mr. Cuibcrson Of HoSas, Mr.. Hit

: monetary commission. His own appoin
& inent was by resolution. AS the tfty-thir
