WORK
Of Congress Drawing
to a Close.
Number Of important Measures
Still In Doubt.

Washington, d. G., Feb. 27.-(Spl)-
The record of the F'ifly-slxth Congress
is now practically completed, although
q few important measures are still
in the balance.
In actual work accomplished the
Fifty-sixth Congress has an oxcep,
tlonally large record Aside from the
Porto Rican and Hawaiian acts al
ready mentioned, this Congress has
passed a financial law establishing
a permanent gold reserve of about
$150,0O0,000, fixing the ratio between
god and silver, and reorganizlng the
bonding and the banking systems Of
the Treasury; reorganlzing the United
States army on basis of 100000
men, reapportioning the representation
in Congress on the basis of the twelfth
census, and other measures Of i'm.
portance.
But the Congress draws to n close
with some Of the most important meas
ures before it still in doubt, and quite
likely to expire without final action,
including the Nicaraguan Canal bill,
the Ship Subsidy bill, the Pacific
Cable bill and the Oleomargarne bill.
The fate Of some of these measures Is
very much in doubt.

State Board Of Equalization Is
Just Loafing Along.
Special Correspondence.)

(Speclal COrreSpOnuenCe.)
Columbus, Feb. 27.-The State
Board of Equalization has at last
shown signs Of life. The Board,
which has been sleeping its time
away for months, at last shows signs
of awakening.
Immediately before adjournment
yesterday afternoon, former Senator
Rorick offered a resolution providing
for the convening of the board this
morning at 10 o'clock, instead Of at
0, as usual. 1t was well understood
that, if the resolution was adopted,
1t would regularly be offered each
day. Members from both sides of the
house spoke warmly against the prop
osltion, abusing themselves and their
colleagues roundly for the loafing
they have already done and making
all sorts Of promises for the future.
The resolution was defeated by q
vote of 10 to Z.
