CLOSING HOURS OF CONGRESS
ACCOMPLISH BUT LITTLE

Washington, March 4.-The sundry
civil appropriation bill which became
law this morning after sharp con
tention between the House and Senate
upon various conflicting amendments,
carries besides the general appropria-
tions the following items of interest
to the West: For continuing work up
on the military posts of Fort McKen-
Eie, at Sheridan, and Fort Russell, at
Cheyenne, Wyoming, each $4,000. the
amount being cut in conference from
$4,000.
To pay custodian of Fort Sheridan
military reservation, Idaho. $3.50 an
nually. Authorizing lease by Ute In
dams of Mesa Verde lands to the Colo
RADIO Cliff Dwellings Association.
The clause permitting grazing upon
forest reserves In Wyoming, Colorado,
Montana, Idaho and Utah, was reject
ed, as were items for n soldiers home
ut Hot Springs, South Dakota, and fish
hatcherles in Utah and Idaho.
Interest in the closing hours OF Con-
gress ccntered in the successful effort
of western members of the Senate to
kill the river and harbor bill.

RIVER AND HARBOR
BILL FAILS TO PASS

Washington, March, 4.-One of the
most notable occurrences iE the history
of congressional legislation marked the
closing hours of the last session of the
Fifty-siXth Congress. Senator Carter
of Montana signallzed his retirement
from the Senate after six years of bril-
liant service by talking the river and
harbor bill 10 death. He occupied the
floor consecutively for nearly thirteen
hours, although in the aggregate about
three hours of that time were devoted
to other business.
At 11:4O o'clock last night, after the
Senate conferees on the river and har-
Dor bill had reported disagreement,
Senator Carter began his speech. APP
parcntly in n facetious vein he began
his attack upon the measure, denounc-
ing 1t as vicious and pernicious leglsla-
ton, unwarranted and unsound in prin-
ciple.
Shortly before five o'clock Mr.. Allison
submitted n further disagreement on
the sundry civil bill. the item in conten-
ton being the appropriation for the
three eXposltions. From this the SEN
ate receded and then passed the st.
Louis exposition bill. MIR. Tillman,
who has championcd the appropriation
for Charleston throughout the session,
made final appeal to the Senate to
save the Charleston item. but he real
lied that the Missouri senators We're
more powerful than he. BY n vote Of
3S to 10 the Senate reccdcd from the
Charleston appropriation and the bill
was passed.
Mr.. Carter resumed his speech, final
ly announcing at G.35 o'clock that It
was his intention not TO permit the
river and harbor bill 10 become n law
IL his strength should hold out, and
saying in that moment he was in excel
lent physical condition. With the ex-
ceptlon of brief lntcrmlssion while n
quorum was being secured, and re-
cess of half an hour between 1880 and
IL o'clock to-day, Mr.. Carter spoke
practically continuously. He yielded
the floor only after the ceremony Of the
Introduction of Vice President Roose-
welt had begun.
Gilpin observer., 1901-03-07

O'Clock this morning Senator Warren
made strong plea to the Senate to in
sist upon its amendments to the bill
for reservoir appropriations.
He said he sympathized with the
conferees on the part Of the Senate
and with the committee on commerce
which had worked hard to frame tho
river and harbor bill because the ac-
tlon of the House endangered the
work they had done. The West was
entitled to recognition. Its representa-
tives voted cheerfully and willingly to
appropriate money for national pro-
jects In which the West had but gen.
crnl interest. The West furnished the
greatest quota of soldiers for the re-
cent war. 1t furnished the beef and
mutton, the wool and the gold and sill
yer of the country, and its people pay
annually to the general government
over S4000,OO0 for public lands, but
cannot get dollar expended for irri-
CATION or reclamation of lands.
He denounced In strong terms tho
vindictive stubborncss of the House,
which, on the theory that might is
right, refused TO grant TO the West its
Just dues, simply because II has the
power by reason of the numerically
small representation of the western
states, TO do so. Mr.. Warren said he
made no threats, hut would predict
that before another river and harbor
bill became law Congress would pro-
vide funds for reservoir construction
In the West, either through this or
some other measure.
