WASHINGTON, July 2.-After Il scs.
sion marked by some Of the stormiest
debates ever heard in the American
congress the senate adjourned sine die
at $50 yesterday afternoon. During
the last hours of the session there was
tart debate on the Philippine ques-
ton, participated in by Mcssrs. Car
mack (Tcnn.), Spooner Wis.). Culber-
son Crex.y, McComas (Ad) and Lodge
tMass.).
The conference report on the Philip
pine government bill was adopted with
out very serious opposition, and then.
when the decks of the senate were
cleared for adjournment, Mr.. Carmack
called up his resolution providing for a
continuance of the investigation of the
Philippine commission and for visit
to the Philippine Islands by the com
mittcc during the present summer. This
started trouble, and for more than an
hour battle of words was waged. Mr..
Spooner delivered scathing denunci.-
ton of the minority of the Philippine
committee for what he declared was an
attack upon the American army.
Mr.. Carnac!s denied that any attack
had been made upon the army and de-
clared that any fool could charge such
a calumny and any patriot could be
taught to repeat it. The resolution
was referred to Il committee, thus cf-
fectually killing it.
Just before adjournment the usual
resolutions were adopted, including one
offered by Mr.. Cockrell, the venerable
Democrat of Missouri, cordially thank
ing the president pro tempore, MIR.
Frye, for "the digniticd, impartial and
courteous manner in which he had pre-
sided over the deliberations of the SEN
ate.'
After the adoption Of the resolution
Mr. Frye delivered Il feeling response
and then declared the senate adjourned
without day.
Amid Il scene Of enthusiasm that has
not been parallcled since the exciting
and stirring days Of the Spanish war
Speaker Henderson at $50 yesterday
afternoon declared the house Of repre-
snntatives adjourned without day. In
doing so he said that 10 house of rep
rpsentutiyes since the adoption OF the
constitution had done NS much work as
this one. The audience to which he
made his brief address was brilliant
one. The galleries were banked to the
Doors. and almost tWothirds of the
members were in their seats on the
floor. The speakers nppHcriatirc words
to the members in thanking them for
their cooperation during the session
had touched Il responsive CHORD, ana
they gave him remarkable demon
N.y4-ion OF their friendship and good
will.
While the cheering and applause
wnls still in progress the members on
the floor began singing MY Country,
"Tis of Tltc." n was taken up by the
correspondents in the press gallery
over the Speakers chair and by the
spectators IN tll" surrounding galleries,
and yoon the vast hall was ringing
with the swelling chorus. Other patri-
o;tr airs followed as the members cX-
changed farewell.
The adjournment came at the end or
Il seven and Il half houlS' session, dur
Ing which much minor business was
transacted. In all seventy bills and
resolutions were passed. The general
GOOD feeling in the house had been
hcightcnpd by the victory won over the
senate on the item in the naval Appro-
IniutiOn hill for the building of Il bat
II. ship in Il government yard.
