The announcement of the result was
greeted with enthusiastic applause by
the crowded chamber. This closed the
great labor for which the Forty-fi fifth
Congress assembled in extraordinary
session, and after stubborn resistance,
at times threatening a deadlock, the
Senate concurred with the House in a
! resolution for the final adjournment Of
the session at Q o'clock Saturday night.
The Presidents message for a cur
rency commission was received by the
House. but the House bin creating
commission was not acted upon.
Congress at this session failed to
pass the bill inspired by the admins
tration and urged in an extraordinary
message to create commission to in
vestigate the currency system of the
| country and report better one, al
though the measure passed the House
just before adjournment. 1t also failed
to pass the Harris resolution directing
the President to suspend negotiations
with the Union Pacific Railroad Re-
organization Syndicate for the sale of
the Union Pacific Railroad, which plan
Is pronounced by some Senators to be
the biggest job of recent Congressional
history.
Congress did not devote its attention
entirely to the tariff though 1t did sub
ordinate everything else to this one
measure. The four appropriation bills
which failed on March 4 last in them
selves would have compelled President
Mckinley to call congress in extra ses-
sion even If the necessity for a revision
of the tariff had not existed. Those
appropriation bills were the sundry

the general deficiency. These bills
were introduced and passed by the
house in the identical form in which
