| The remainder Of the session passed
without incident. At o'clock, when
Speaker Reed announced this second ses-
sion of this congress is adjourned without
dey," great cheer arose, and then began
a scene which, similar to the usual closing
scenes of sessions, far surpassed in its en-
thusiasm and manifest gooc feeling any
similar episode in the memory of the Oldest
| member of the house. The occupants of
the packed galleries who had risen TO go,
paused as they heard several of the mem

Other members hurr;edlv crowded around
tbe sneakers stand and Joined the other
singers, until within short time it seemed
all the members present were aiding in
| swelling the volume of song. Presently
| a voice here and there in the galleries Joined
in, and 1t was not long until members and
| spectators were all singing the patriotic
| hymn.
| The scene was a marked transition from
the many partisan demonstrations which
had been witnessed such a short time be-
fore. Democrats and Republicans were
now singing in accord the national anthem.
When the song ceased, some member pro-
posed three cheers for the nations presi-
dent, and the roar of sound that followed
came from united house.
1.-THE north, the south, east and west,
united country" was proposed, and then
in turn came the heroes of the war, Dewey,
Schley Hobson, Sampson and finally for
mer Representative General Joseph Wheel
er, who is clinging, though ILL., to his COM
mand in front of Santiago, was named,
and the hall resounded with cheers of
thrilling strength. Ihen the singing pro-
ceeded. Meantime, sergeant-at-Arms
Russell had brought IN 2oo small American
flags, and every member was now waving
one.
