has done the hardest days work OF its lie.
In the case of congress, however, ii has
been a necessity. Its OK was in the often
and congress has followed scriptural ad-
vice and is getting it out.
Without today's session appropriation
bills would have failed and an extra ses-
sion necessitated. AS ii is there was an all
night session last nignt A recess OF the
house was taken at O'Clock this morning
in order tnat the members and Speaker
Crisp-who was completely exhausted AFTER
sixteen hours in the chair attempting 10
hold the reins taut on . wild aggregation OF
statesmen-lnight sleep Il few hours. The
recess was until o'clock today. Since that
hour both the house and senate have been
in continuous session and the prospects are
that there will be no cessation Of the work
until the expiration of the life of this con-
gress ao noon tomorrow. Conference COM
mTltees are struggling over appropriation
bills and the two houses are fighting each
other desperately, each attempting to get
what il wants and to down the other.
The senate has. however, comnenceI 10
back down, as it always does. Today II
receded from its amendment giving the
Nashville exposition SlZ5.00O which the
house refused to accept. Also from the
clause to purchase the Blaine mansion IN
order that Senator Cameron's windows
might have good outlook, and from many
other Of its amendments.
