Excitement, confusion. heavy strain
and hard work have characterized the
last legislative day of the Fifty-ffth
Congress in the senate. At times the
confusion was SO great in this usually
staid and decorous body as TO render
the transaction OK business almost I'M

have the undivided attention of every
senator on the floor was transacted
amid so much noise that 1t was next

Toward midnight order was being re-

early part of the day and evening and
the prospect was fair that Congress
would adjourn at noon tomorrow with
Its absolutely necessary work done.
When the scnate convened at II
o'clock this morning It faced the task
of considering two of the great uppro-
priation bills, those for the army and
for supplying the general deficiencies.
