CLOSING DbY OF CONGRESS
Continued from First Page.

~. II was after a continuous session
beginning at IL o'clock on Friday with
the exception Of one hours recess dur
ing the forenoon.
The day of final adjournment broke
with the Senate in executive session
dispoSing OF large number of nomina-
tions. When the doors were opened
there were seen but handful Of tired
and haggard looking Senators who were
waiting for the final reports from the
conferees on the two bills yet in dis
pute. 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 filed with gaily
dressed visitors who were there to see
the closing ceremonies. They were not
long permitted to enjoy themselves as
an executive session drove them into
the corridors. where they patiently
waited for the doors to be opened
again. When this was done only five
minutes remained of the Congress, but
the hands of the clock were turned
back ten minutes to give time for the
usual complimentary resolution and
the address of the Vice President.
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. Finally
the last big appropriation bill had re-
ceived the Presidents approval and
everything was ready for the close.
The resolution thanking Vice President
Hobart and President pro TEN. Frye
were adopted, the Vice President re-
spending in an appropriate address and
the Senate, which had been in a tur-
MOL for several days, quietly came to
an end.
