WASHINGTON, March 4.-The house
adjourned without day at 10 minutes
past II o'clock. Wearily the members
sat through the night recessing from
time TO time While awaiting conference
reports upon the appropriation bills
The floor of the house was Uttered
with waste paper, which drifted about
ankle deep and made the hall look as
If it had been swept by snow storm.
Still the weary and heavy eyed legis-
lators kept to their posts. The leaders,
upon whom the strain and burden of
the closing hours fell most heavily,
and the speaker, who had the greatest
responsibility Of all, remained con-
stantly in their places, watching vigi-
lantly the progress of the contests be-
tween the two houses.
The final agreement on the river and
harbor bill, containing the compromise
Nicaragua canal measure, was secured
about $3.50 q. M; the sundry civil bill,
in which the house forced the senate
to surrender the provision for the Pa
cific cable. about 6 a. m; the District
of Columbia, with the provision for
sectarian institutions eliminated,

and the final conference report upon

SENATE'S WEARY VIGIL.

Final Hours in the Upper House of
the Fifty-fifth Congress.
WASHINGTON, March A. Vice
President Hobart declared the senate
adjourned, without day, eight min
utes after 12 o'clock today. 1t was af-
ter a continuous session, beginning at
II o'clock on Friday, with the excep-
ton Of one hour recess during the fore
noon.
The day of final adjournment broke
with the senate in executive session,
disposing of a large number of NOM
nations. When the doors were opened
there We're seen but a handful of tired
and haggard-looking senators, who
were waiting for the final reports from
the conferees on the two bills still in
dispute. Finally, Mr.. Hale appeared
with both. The deficiency bill was
quickly passed, and then came the
final and closing fight on the naval
bill and the price Of armor plate and
for an armor plate factory. This was
finally over, and the weary senators
took short recess.
Upon reassembling, the senate took
on new appearance. The chamber
had been cleaned up, and the senators
came back to the closing meeting with
more spruce. appearance. Some few
attempts at legislation were made, but
all were unsuccessful.
Then the galleries filled with gaily-
dressed visitors, who were there to see
the final ceremonies. They were not
long permitted to enjoy themselves,
as an executive session drove them
into the corridors, where they pa
tiently waited for the doors to be open-
ed. When this was done only five min
utes remained of the congress. but the
hands of the clock were turned back
ten minutes to give time for the usual
complimentary resol1tip pms, and the ad-
dress Of the vice preakent.
President Mckinley and his entire
| cabinet had come to the capitol and
were in the presidents room back of
| the senate chamber where the various
| bills were hurried for signature. FL
nally the last big appropriation bill
had received the presidents approval,
and everything was ready for the
| close.
| The resolution thanking Vice Presi-
| dent Hobart and President Pro Tenn
| Frye were adopted, the vice president
responding in an appropriate address,
| and the senate, which had been In a
| turmoil for several days, quickly came
to an end.

WASHINGTON, March 4-(Special.) }
While the Fifty fifth congress, which
expired today, cannot look back on a
well-spent life; yet it may well breathe
q sigh Of relief that it's record was
no worse. In a way, was fortunate.
A great crisis and a popular war have
taken it out from the rut of little-
achievement, in which SO many of it's
predecessors had run their course, and
In which at one time it seemed hope
lessly settled; and have given it g.
place of its own in the public renem-
brance.
On March 49, 1897 this congress first
convened in extraordinary session, be-
ing summoned by the president for the
express purpose Of providing ample
revenues for the requirements of the
government tariff bill was prompt
ly passed by the house. 1t was elabor-
ately debated and amended in the SEN
ate. that body arrogating lead which
it has held ever since, and finally In
July was enacted into what is known
as the "Dingley Law"
OF this measure, it may be truthfully
said that not for one instant has it
fulfilled the object of it's being, by pro-
viding adequate revenue for the ordi-
nary expenditures of the government
AS a horrible example, it may in time
prove of some value, teaching even the
hide-bound protectionists, through the
harsh lessons of experience, that the
country has burst the restraints of
foreign imncsts with which they so
long have striven to confine it's pow
ers.
Little else worthy Of note was accom-
plished by the special session. Speaker
Reed, though promptly reelected, con-
temptuously refused to name the house
committees. although the majority was
pledged to much active legislation
notably along the line of financial and
currency reform. In the same obstruc-

The illness Of the pope gave rise to
speculation as to his successor and re-
viVed the stories of intrigues at the
Vatican. But the latest favorable bull
letins have dispelled the gloomy fore
bcdings. 1t appears that the pope him
self was responsible for the attack as
after the audiences of Monday, when
very tired, he insisted upon driving in
the garden to Leo's tower, in spite of
the biting north wind. He returned
to his apartments shivering with cold,
and on feeling himself in pain he said
he recalled the prophecy of Mile
Couedon, whose spiritualistic prophe-

ago, and who declared that the Arch

ITALY'S CHINA DEMAND.
The political event of the week was
undoubtedly Italy's demand for a
door in the Celestial empire The
Saturday Review says:
"It can hardly be doubted that this
will prove the signal for a general and
final rush. Japan will advance her
long expected claim to the province Of
Flu Kien (on the mainland of China
and opposite the island of Formorsa),
and Russia will seize a preteXt for
urging further concessions injurious to
British influence out of the helpless
government at Pekin.

point four additional major generals
to have named Gems. Fitzhugh Lee,
Wheeler. Wilson and Wood.
1t was bitter disappointment to the
war department that the request of the
president for authority to appoint only
one additional major general Of reg
ulars should have been nesatived 1t
was the purpose to name for that honor
Gen. Shafter, in order that he might
retire with the laurels he has earned.
The general must be retired by law on
the 18th of the present month and
must go out with only a volunteer
commission. It is the purpose to give
him at least this.

SENATE'S SHARE.
The senate, on its part, rejected the
arbitration treaty with England, even
as, despite the country's inundation
during the past year with gush and
twaddle, the hypocritical sentimental
ity Of bard commercialism, it would re-
ject similar treaty today. There is
still some difference between the Unit
chamber Of commerce, and George
Washington still takes precedence
there before the queen.
When congress convened in regular
session, in December, 1897, it began
to dwindle and wither under the blight
of Dingleyism. The word had gone
forth that economy must be practiced !;
there must be no appropriations for
public buildings, or for rivers and har-
hors. Pass the appropriation bills and
adjourn, was the order of the day,
"the speaker wishes TO go to Europe" ="
Thus sternly deprived of it's pap, the
majority became etiolated. A spirit Of
apathy prevailed. Evidently this was
to be a faineant congress. The coun-
try would have to adapt itself to the
Procrustean bed provided by Mr.. Ding
ley. But, as is we'll known, events dis
rupted political schemes. In spite Of
themselves, dragged unwilling capt.
tives by public opinion, the majority
was forced to pass the resolutions
which precipitated the Spanish war.
And here, it may be observed, the
senate again asserted it's superiority
over the house, by taking and holding
the initiative. Time was when the
latter was regarded as the popular as
semblage; but so hampered Is it by
party tyrrany, so unused to indepen-
dent opinion, so fearful of Individual
Judgment, that the reactionary body,
scornfully called the millionaires' club,
is in closer touch with the public will.
