Quietly and Without Denomination.
The second session OF the Fifty
nth Congress adjourned Friday
amid the usual scene OF denonsira-
ton. In the House during the clos
ing hour a question of veraei,y arose
which led TO a heated wordy quarrel
and but for the interference of Rep
resentatives two members would
nave come TO blows. At two o'clock
Speaker Reed rose from his great
upholstered chair and, while he
raised the gavel high announced in
a clear voice that this second session
OF The Fifty-ifth Congress is ad journ-
% without day"
a great cheer arose, and then be-
gan scene which, while similar to
the usual closing scenes of sessions,
Tar surpassed in enthusiasm and
manifest good feeling any similar
episode IN the memory of the Oldest
member Of the House. The occu-
pants of the packed galleries, who
had risen to go, paused as they heard
Gen. Henderson and Representative
Foote begin singing America
When the song ceased Represent
alive Brom vel! proposed three cheers
for 1.-THE nations President which
were given with will. Represent
alive Fitzgerald proposed three
cheers for Speaker Reed and Repre-
sentative Mercer, of Nebraska, three
cheers for the "red. white and blue"
Some one called for 'Dlxle,'' and
it was sang enthusiastically by
Northern and Southerners. Then
Representative Williams led the
floor and galleries in the singing of
Yankee Doodle" The patriotic
demonstration continued a half hour,
and then the members began leav-
ing, saying farewell to colleagues.
"Home. sweet Home,' and "Auld
Lang Syne" supplanted the patriotic
airs, and impressed more strongly
upon the hearers that another session
was ended.
The closing of the Senate was more
quiet than the House. After an ex-
ecutive session, lasting half an hour,
Senator Allison then reported the
House resolution providing for final
ad Journment. Senators Morgan and
Allen opposed the resolution stating
that questions of high Importance
and of the greatest Consequences to
the coutry would probably arise now
that it seemed evident of an early
termination of the war. The resofu-
ton was fully adopted.
Senator Spooner offered a resolu-
ton thanking Senator Frye, Presi-
dent pro tempore of the Senate, for
the able and courteous manner in
which he had presided over the de-
alterations Of the Senate during the
present session. 1t was adopted. A
similar resolution, offered by Sena
tor Cockrell, of Missouri, thanking
Vice President Hobart, was adopted
with a rousing "aye.' Vice Presi-
dent Hobart then, the hour of two
o'clock being indicated by the Sen
ste timepiece, formerly declared the

HAWAII ANNEXATION PASSED.

The Opposition to the Measure Unexpect-
edly Yield and Finally Passed the Sell
ate by the Vote of Az to II.
Wednesday July 9Th, the Senate vot-
ed to annex Hawaii by a vote of AZ to
II with twelve pairs who did not vote
upon the question.
The collapse of the opposition to the
resolutions was qnite unexpected. On
Tuesday it looked as though the debate,
which had already lasted more than two
weeks, might extend till Saturday
night. Senator Pettigrew, who has
been one of the chef opponents of an
neXatiOn and who had already consum-
ed a great deal of time in debate, was
holding the floor. A little later on
Wednesday afternoon he suddenly
brought his speech to an end
and Senator Allen, another lead
ing opponent of annexation who
has occupied less time, spoke.
His speech, expected to last two or
three days, was concluded in short or
| der, and Senator White, of California,
the leading opponent of annexation,
arose to put finale on his lengthy ut
terances about Hawaii. Then came
the collapse, when Senator White pro-
posed an amendment. which led to the
| agreement 1Or an immediate vote.
| The Washington Post says:
An analysis of the final vote sustains
the contention, often made, that an
nexation is not a party question, al
though it cannot be overlooked that a
majority of the Republicans were for
the resolutions and a majority of the
Democrats against them. OF the 81 Sen
ators who voted against the resolutions
II were Democrats; one, Senator Allen
is POpulist; one, Senator Pettigrew
a silver Republican; one, Senator
Jones, of Nebraska, styled himself 8
silverite, and one, Senator Morrill,, Of
Vermont, is a Republican. Senator
!, SpoOner, of Wisconsin, and Senator
!, Thurston, of Nebraska (Republicans)
would have voted against the resolu
tlons had they not been paired. Sena
tors Butler and Turner (Populists
were absent and pared, but were an
, nounced, respectively, as for ant
against annexation. The vote for tn
resolutions comprises 3a Republicans
Independent, Senator Kyle; 2 silve
, Republicans, Senators Cannon an

Two Federal Prisoners and two state

Both Escapes Reveal Carelessness on
the Part of some of the Guards.
Sometime Thursday night two con-
victs at the State penItentiary man

cell and escape. One of the pris-
oners was Merritt alias Get

The other was federal prisoner serv-
ing a five years sentence. The escape

aged. After getting on the roof of the
building they made rope of their
blankets, upon which they slipped to
the ground nearly hundred feet be-
low the roof. Nothing has been heard
or seen of them since. The authorities
offer 800 reward for the capture of
Gettings.
Saturday two more prisoners made
their escape in broad daylight. Onln-
vestigatiOn it was found that they had
crawled under the stOckade at point
where a ravine runs under it. They
had removed the iron bars that are
placed IN the trough through which
the water passes out from the drain
and just quietly crawled through and
promenaded along down the branch
This trough is situated about midway
between two guard posts, not exceed
ing fifty yards from either, but neither
of the guards Oh duty at the time knew
anything about the escape of the pris-
oners. The wonder is how in the
name Of common sense the eyes OF
each of these guards were kept off this
particular spot long enough for two
men to escape, as it is next to impossi-
bic for them to walk their beats with
out viewing this particular point, un-
less they gazed continuously skyward.

WILL MAKE A TEST CASE

AS to Who Shall Stamp Telegraph Mes-
saGes-Express Companies May Also e.
come Involved.
Col. F. a. Olds, who uses the tele-
graph daily as correspondent for sew
eral papers, last Friday attempted
to get the Western Union Telegraph
Company to stamp and send mes
sage, stating that if they refused he
would carry the matter into the
courts. Manager Edgerton wired to
headquarters relative to the matter
and they wired back to act on in
structions already sent. This he did
and Colonel Odds has given notice
that on Tuesday he will file com
plant for refusal to accept a mes
sage.
The following from the Statesville
Landmark shows that the lines have
been broken.
THE war revenue bill imposes q
tax of one cent on all telegraph mes
sages and there has been much kick
ing since the law went into effect be
cause the Western Union requires the
sender of the message to pay the tax
Yesterday Mr.. l.. C. Caldwell, chair
man of the Railroad Commission
took the bull by the horns by fling 1
message at the Statesville Office am
declining to pay the tax, at the sam
time notifying Mr.. c. J. Jones, tn
operator, that he would hold tn
company responsible if the messag
was not sent. Acting under instruc
tons from headquarters, Mr.. Jone
paid the tax and sent the message
Mr.. Caldwell having started the bal
there will be others and the telegrap
company will itself be compelled t
pay tho tax which it is trying to fois
on others unless it goes into tn
courts and they decide in its favor.
1t is the opinion of most poop,
that the intent of the law is for thes
companies to pay the tax, but bot
: the telegraph and express compani'
have been collecting it out of the

that q pond near the city is liable to
contaminate the water supply of the
