FINAL adjournment of Congress was
reached last Friday afternoon. None OF the
dramatic and exciting scenes usually at
tendant upon the adjournment of Congress
were witnessed during the closing hours OF
the Senate. The end OF the session in the
the House was marked by two notable in
cidents. One was sensationally partisan,
well nigh resulting in personal conflict be-
tween Mr.. Cannon OF Illinois and Mr. Ball
of Texas. In the other incident every
member present joined irrespective of party
affiliations. When Adjournment was an
nounced all joined in cheers for the Presi-
dent and war heroes and the singing OF
patriotic songs. making perhaps the most
notable ending to session since the civil
war. The only measure of Importance
passed was bill to reimburse states for
expenses incurred in aiding the organiza-
ton of the volunteer army.
