Some Entertainment for Listeners.
The final session of the house had little
of public interest. The appropriation bill
had been passed and the members simply
waited for the end to come. A number of
the members were made happy by the
passage of small local bills of interest to
their districts To General Wheeler of
Alabama belonged the distinction of Sc
curing the passage of the last bill There
was an attempt by Bailey and Mcguire of
California to precipitate a political dis
cussion in the last half hour of the session
but the Republicans declined the gauge of
combat thrown down to them.
Mcguire made n brief reply to Dingley's
remarks of Wednesday. He criticised par
ticularly the latter's statements about the
prosperity Of the country during the life
of the high protective tariff, quoting from
the report of Labor Commissioner Wright
In substantiation Of his argument. He
spoke of the depression in the coaling in

Hurley of New York interrupted to ask
him what the duty on coal was.
Seventy cents per ton," replied Ma
guire.
That trouble occurred in the anthracite
regions" retorted Hurley. Anthracite
coal was on the free list" Republican
laughter
Bailey followed with an arraignment Of
the Republican side for cowariice in dotig-
Ing the issue presented by the anti bond
resolution. For weeks" said he, their
courage has been like Bob Aeres'-oozing
from their finger tips-until now they are
strenuously trying to avoid the considera-
ton Of a subject which three months ago
they professed themselves ready to meet. -
He proceeded to charge that it was the
purpose of the Republican perty to make
n ''cowardly and disgraceful evasion of
the money issue at St Louis He said
there were millions of honest citizens in
the country who believed in the gold
standard
There were other millions who believed
in bimetallism, but nowhere, said he, was
| handful of self-respecting citizens who
would support a party that refused to tell
them where it stood. A straddle would
deceive no one. Democratic applause
He warned the other side that it was bet
| ter to fight than run away, and concluded
with the statement-which was applauded
on the Democratic side-that the Demo
Gratis at Chicago, no matter what else they
might do, would adopt platform that nc
one could misconstrue.
No one on the Republican side replied
to these political speeches.

WASHINGTON, June 12-Vice President
Stevenson brought the session of the SEN
ate to a final close at 4 o'clock p m. yes
terday after brief valedictory expressing
his thanks to senators for their courtesies
to him throughout the session. The clos
ing scene was not Of the dramatic order,
but was marked by the placid serenity
characteristic of the upper branch of con-
gress. The senate convened at II o'clock,
but no business was transacted beyond
the formalities preceding an adjournment
The last bill to be passed was one urged
by Sherman pensioning the widow of GEN
eral William H. Gibson, a prominent
Ohio officer. Resolutions of thanks were
unanimously adopted to Vice President
Stevenson and President Pro Tenn Frye
for their impartial rulings in the chair.
Vice President Stevenson's Remarks.
A few moments before the hour set for
adjournment the vice president raped the
senate to order and said:
"SENAToRs-I am deeply tBuched by the
resolutions personal to myklf adopted by
the senate 1t has been my earnest en-
deavor impartially to execute the rules
prescribed for the guidance of this body.
For the aid you have SO generously given
me in the discharge of the duties that per-
tain to this office, as well as for the cour-
tesy uniformly shown me, 1 am pro-
foundly grateful. And now, wishing each
of you a safe return to home and constitu-
ents, it only remains for me to declare the
first session Of the Fifty-fourth congress
adjourned without day"
And Silence Reigns Supreme.
The gavel descended with a whack at
the last word and the session was over.
There was a stir in the galleries as the
crowd made for the exits. Senators moved
about shaking hands and bidding good
byes. Soon the senate chamber was de-
serted. One of the last acts of the senate
was to give the important immigration
bill parliamentary status by which it
secures the right of way as soon as the
senate reassembles. Many of the senators
left for their homes last night.
