1 Washington, March 4.-From 10: 30 o'clock Sunday night the senate re- mained in continuous session and worked to clear up the necessary leg | islation, which had to reach the pre- j. ident for his signature before ad- journment. The most interesting feature of the session was the action upon the sundry civil appropriation bill when early in the morning the senate reeeded from it's amendment providing for three eXpositions giving S5,000,000 to St. Louis, S500,000 to Buff fa1o and S250,000 to Charleston, s. C. Without division the motion of Sena- tor Allison to recede was agreed to. 1t was the last remaining item in the bill in disagreement and it meant that all danger of an extra session was over.
 The action of the senate on the sum dry civil bill was followed by the senate reeeding from the Charleston amendment to the St. Louis exposi- tion bill which had passed the house as separate measure. This action passed the bill appropriatine $5,00o,- 900 for St. Louis. It was an interest," ing occasion. Senator Vest, of Mis- souri made the motion. Though sui fering from i'll health he had re- mained in the senate all night to bat tie for this exposition appropriation. He made an appeal to the senate to pass the bill now as a simple act of justice to St. Louis, saying that. with the utmost kindness toward Charles ton, it was not fair to make St. Louis suffer because the house would not make an appropriation for the expo- sition in South Carolina.
 Senator Tillman, who had made a hard fight for Charleston. made a speech showing deep feeling He said the legislation which had paved the way for the St. Louis appropriation was placed in bill last year as were the amendments from which the sem ate had reeeded in the sundry civil bill. The watch dogs of the house of representatives had now bounced up- on this proposition and defeated it. Congress. he said, had appropriated S11,0o0,ooo for expositions and now it was proposed 10 give 5000 900 more. lis state, south Carolina, was regard ed as an oateast, disinherted dog. lie would leave 1t to the senate whether il was just, fair and right to give to St. Louis S5.O00,O00 and deny Charleston a small $250,OO0
 Mr. Lodge thought that Charleston ought to be treated equally with St. Louis, and he, with MT. Depew was among the ten senators who voted against the motion of Mir. Vest. Thir- weight senators voted for the mo- ton, which passed the bill.

 The history of free government is in large part the history of those represental tive legislative bodies, in which from inc earliest time, free government has foundits loftfest exposition. They must ever mold peculiar and exalted DC sition in inc rec ord which tells how the great nations of the world have endeav ored to achieve and preserve orderly freedom. No man can render to his fellows greater service than is rendered by him who, with fearlessoass and honesty, with sanity and disinterest- ednesst does his life work as a member of such hody. Especially is this the case when the legislature in which tEe service IS rendered Is a vital part in the governmental machinery of one of those world bowers to whose hands in the course of ages, Is intrusted leading part in shaping the destinies of mankind For veal or for woe. for good or for evil this Is true of our own mighty nation Great privileges and great powers are CUTS. and heavy are the responsibilities that go with these privileges and these powers.
