WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.
Work of the First Session of the 56th
Congress.

Washington, June 4.-The record of
the first session of the f1fty-sixth con-
gress is now practically closed and it
is possible to survey the important
work it has accomplished during the
last six months.
It has been a busy congress, the
busiest, according to veteran officials,
in many years. In some respects the
work has been less exciting than that
of the preceding congress, which COW
cred the dramatic period when war was
declared against Spain, and also the
period of reconstruction and treaty
making with Spain following the sue
cessful close of the war. But in work
actually accomplished and started
toward accomplishment, the record of
the present congress stands we'll in
comparison with the most energetic
congresses.
Our new territorial possessions have
there has been no definite action as to
the Philippines or Cuba. a form of gov
eminent and means ofraising revenue
has been provided for Porto Rico, and
a comprehensive territorial form of
government has been given to Hawaii
The financial act has made important
changes in the laws relating to the par
ity of metals, the bonded Indebtedness,
national banks and the security of the
treasury gold reserve. The Nicara qua
canal bill has passed the house and is
on the calendar of the senate ready for
attention when congress recOnvenes
