WASHINGTON, June 11.-Vice- Presi-
dent Stevenson brought the session of
the senate to q final close at o'clock to-
day. after a brief valedictory expressing
his thanks to the senators for their
oourtesies to him through the session.
The closing scene was not of the drama
ito order, but was marked by placid
serenity characteristic of the upper
branch of congress. The galleries were
well filed, but there was an absence of
the packed corridors incident to the
eventful close Of congress. The session
convened at IL o'clock but no business
was transacted beyond the formalities
preceding an adjournment.
The last bill to be passed was one
urged by Mr.. Sherman pensioning the
widow Of General William H. Gibson. a
prominent Ohio officer.
Resolutions Of thanks were unani-
mously adopted to Vice president Stew
enson and President pro tenn Frye, for
their impartial rulings in the chair One
Of the last acts was to give the impor-
tant immigration bill parliamentary
status by which 1t secures the right of
way as soon as the senate reassembles
AS soon as the vice-president had an
nounced the session closed the galleries
emptied, senators exchanged good-byes
and many arranged to leave for their
homes tonight.

usual to the close Of congress. The last
obstacle in the way Of adjournment was
removed when soon after the session
opened the enrolling clerks brought in
the last Of the supply bills for the Dis
trict Of Columbia. 1t was signed by the
president and dispatched to the
White House for the signature Of the
president. This done, business was sus-
pended until Sherman secured the pas
sage Of the house bill pensioning the
widow Of General H. Gibson Of Ohio-$5O

a brief executive session, after which
the open session was resumed.
On motion of Platt of Connecticut the
immigration bill which had been dis
placed, was made unfinished business.
The effect is to give the bill the right of
way when the December session begins
At o'clock Sherman moved the appoint
ment Of two senators to accompany the
committee from the house to wait upon
the president. The Weep president
named Sherman and Smith. The vice.
president also announced the apoint-
ment of Harris, Faulkner and Mcmillan
as committee to inquire into the char
tiles of the District Of Columbia, with
view, of ascertaining the extent of the
sectarian control. The inquiry was pro-
vided for in the District Of Columbia

PLATFORM GOSSIP
The Financial Plank Gives Greatest Anxiety to
IesderS


ST. LOUIS, June 11.-There is a gen.
eral concensus of opinion that the finan-
cial plank of the platform will be nearly
Identical with the plank of the Indiana
convention, although there is demand
from some sections that the platform
should declare for an international
agreement and pledge the party to take
steps to bring about such an agreement.
The meeting which it was announced
that the Republican advocates of sill
yer would hold tonight was postponed
on account of the non-arrival of the
prominent silver advocates, who were
expected today.
Colonel Trumbo, one of the Utah dele
gates. tonight gave out the following as
the declaration which he thinks the
western men will be willing to accept on
the silver, wool and lead questions:
The Republican party is in favor of
the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the ratio of 16 ounces of
silver being equivalent in all the func-
tions of money to l ounce of gold when
coined into dollars of the United States
of America.
Noting that under the tariff act of
March 3, 1867, the wool industry was
more prosperous than during any other
period In the history of the country, and
observing that the present free trade
policy of the Democratic administration
mas ruined that industry, the Republi-
can party, not less eager today than in
the past. to uphold the interests of those
engaged in the raising of wool, hereby
stands committed to the reinstatement of
the schedule of wool as enacted in the
tariff law of 1867 The Republican party
is in favor of the re-enactment Of the
tariff schedule of 1890 providing for a
duty on lead ores, without taking note
of the value Of silver associated with the
lead in the ores imported"
