THE CLOSING SCENES
Last Night of inc fiftY-Fifth
 Congress.
Every Effort Made by Bofh Houses to Crowd Through All inc Great Appropriation BiEIS-SOCiefy in Attendance.

Washington, March 3.-Crowded gal leries looked down upon the struggling members of the house today as the closing scenes of this congress were being enacted. Step by step the lead CTS in charge of the appropriation bills pushed them through the final stages ard during every lull in consideration Of conference reports members clam cred for recognition of belated local bills in the vain hope of rescuing them from death on the calendar.
 MT. Walker of Massachusetts, after many unsuccessful attempts, got an opportunity during the afternoon to voice his views on currency reform, and severely criticised some of his re- publican colleagues.
 When the great beacon light on the dome of the capitol blazed forth as darkness fell, thousands upon thou sands were attracted to the brilliantly illuminated wings of the capitol where the two houses were to sit out the night. In the reserved galleries of the house were congregated the elite of Of society of the national capital, while the public galleries were banked to the doors. Stylishly gowned ladies and gentlemen in evening dress added eclat to the occasion.
 The big questions in dispute be- tween the two houses being naturally last to be adjusted were postponed far into the night. From time to time short recesses were taken. These were simply breathing spells, however, and scon the leaders were at it harder than ever.

SENATE NOT SEDATE.
That Staid and Decorous Body Lent
 Itself to Confusion.

Washington, March 3. Excitement, confusion, heavy strain and hard work have characterized this, the last legis- lative day of the Fifty-fifth congress, in the senate. At times the confusion was so great in this usually staid and decorOus body as to render the trans action of business almost impossible. Toward midnight order was being evolved from the seeming chaos of the early part of the day and evening, and the prospect was fair that congress would adjourn tomorrow at noon with it's absolutely necessary work con- pleted.
 When the senate convened at Il o'clock this morning it faced the task of considering two of the great appro- priation bills, those of the army and The former carried appropriations ex- ceeding $50, ,O0O, ,00O and the latter about S20,000,000. With a determination to complete the appropriation bills the senate began immediately at II o'clock to consider the measures and at s o'clock tonight the army bill was passed, the deficiency bill having passed nearly three hours before.
 The conference report on the Alaska criminal code bill was presented and agreed to. The partial report on the sundry civil appropriation bill was agreed to, but the inability of the sen ate conferees to secure an agreement on the Hawaiian cable bill created a heated discussion in the course of which Speaker Reed was alluded to in Uncomplimentary terms.
 Tonight when the river and harbor conference report was presented the debate upon the recession of the senate cOnferees from the senate amendment providing for reservoirs to irrigate arid lands and at the headwaters of the Missouri river was precipitated by ad- vocates of the proposition. An effort was made to recommit the bill to the cOnferees, but it failed after an impas- sioned speech by Senator Frye, who submitted the report. At 11:30 debate is still in progress, with no indications of an early adjournment.

BUSINESS IS BOOMING
Last Weeks Report Most FIatierina
 in History of Commercial Trade.

New York, March 3.-R. G. Dun & Go. s Weekly Review of Trade will say tomorrow: Business for the past month was the greatest ever dcne in February. The clearing house eX- changes were about $7,O0O,OOO, 900 against $5,567 ,553, ,S44 last year, and 54.2 larger than in 1892 In all the years of weekly commercial reporting there has been no other week in which re- ports from all parts of the country have been on the whole so good as they are this week Moreover during the past week there has been a general advance in wages, immediate or prospective. At most points aa advance of 10 per cent or mere was entirely voluntary. It has averaged to 10 per cent in tin plate works and about 10 per cent in other cases, and as it affects much over 100, 900 hands, it will add greatly to the purchasing power Of the wage earners.

VIEW OF DEWEY'S REQUEST.
No Need of the Oregon and No Fear of
 International Complications.

Berlin, March 3-The Cologne Ga zette declares that Admiral Dewey's telegram to Washington asking that the Oregon be sent to him was a pre- arranged manoeuvre to influence con- gress in the passage of the army bills, since further warships are needless against the Philippines and interna- tional complications are improbable.
 But, the paper says, if the command CTS of European warships should de- eide to interfere fer the protection of their respective countrymen, it could not be regarded as an unfriendly act toward America. On the contrary, such interference would tighten the position of the Americans, whose task is not progressing towa,d a solution. There is not the slightest grounds for miatrust that from solitary interfer ence permanent occupation could de- velop.

DEWEY SAYS NO"
He Will Not Accept a Nomination for
 the Presidency.


 New York, March 3.-A New York Journal dispatch from Manila says:
 "The Journal correspondent has ob tained from Admiral Dewey the fol- lowing statement of his position re- garding political honors. It is the only authorative quotation secured from the admiral so far upon this sub ject. Admiral Dewey said:
 q would not accept nomination for the presidency of the United States.
 T have no desire for any political office
 T am unftted for it, either in edu- tion or training.
 T am deeply grateful for many ex- pressions of kindly sentiment from the American people, but desire to retire in peace to the enjoyment of my old age.
 ''The navy is one profession, politics another. I am too old to learn a new profession.
 T have no political associations, and my health would never stand the strain of a canvas.
 T have been approached by polite ians repeatedly in enc way or another, but I have refused absolutely to con- sider any proposition whatsoever.
 This is final"

 The Tammany chieftian declined to go into details, explaining that all the particulars of the scheme had not yet been worked out. It is understood that 50 automobile stages have been or dered, and that some of them will be available early in the summer. The fare is to be five cents from One Hun dredth street to the Desbrosses street ferry.

BROKE HIS LOVING cup
German Customs Officials Rough
 Handling Knocked Off the Eagle.

Berlin, March 3.-The Washington s birthday celebration here has brought out fragrant case of r0ughness by German customs officials. Consul Gen eral dason's colleagues presented to him an artistic silver loving cup or dered by Consul Hughes of Coburg from his native town. u was sent in handsome iccEed oak cabinet, in closed in Q packing case. When it reached Consul Hughes on Wednesday, lie found that the lock of the cabinet had been forced, the gilt literally flat tened out and the enamelled stars and stripes smashed to atoms. The eagle, perched at the base of the goblet, was broken off Fortunately Consul Hughes got a man who had worked for fifteen years in Tiffanys and he re- moved most of the t. aces of damage, so that it was possible to present the cup at the surprise banquet on Thurs day. There is no redI Iess.
 Many people in Pittsburg, who are already familiar with the ways of the custom house. when it was decided to send, for Bismarck's grave, an artistic wreath, worked in iron, expressed some anxiety as to it's fate. However, the government has decided to admit it free of duty and without examination.

He began to cross--examine witnesses at once, and with the first one anta9onized the court to the extent of demanding the admission of certain letters as evil dence, but was refused. The proceed ings were not marked, however, by any evidence of unpleasant friction between the ccu:t and the new counsel.

In spite of the con- ciliatory course of the two govern ments and the pending negotiations, active parties on either side of the channel are working steadily to em- bitter public opinion.
