WASHINGTON, D. c., July Aft
er a session marked by some of the
stormiest debates ever heard in the
American congress, the senate and
house adjourned sine die at 8: 80 this
afternoon.
During the last hours of the senate
session there was tart debate on the
Philippine question participated in by
Messrs. Carmack, of Tennessee; Spoon
er, of Wisconsin; Culberson, of Texas;
McComas, of Maryland, and Lodge, of
Massachusetts.
The conference report on the Philip
pine government bill was adopted
without very serious opposition and
then when the decks of the senate
were cleared for adjournment, Mr..
Carmack called up his resolution pro-
Viding for a continuance of the inves-
tigation of the Philippine committee
and for visit to the Philippines by
the committee during the present sum-
mer. This started the trouble and
for more than an hour a battle of
words was waged. Mr.. Spooner de-
ivered a scathing denunciation of the
minority of the Philippine committee
for what he declared was an attack
upon the American army.
Mr.. Carmack denied that any attack
had been made upon the army and de-
clared that any fool could charge such
a calumny and any porrot could be
taught to repeat it. The resolution
was referred to a committee, thus ef-
fectually killing it.
Frye is Commended.
Just before adjournment, the usual
resolutions were adopted, including
one offered by Mr.. Cockrell, the ven
cradle Democrat of Missouri, cordially
thanking President Pro Tenn Frye for
''the dignified, impartial and courteous
manner in which he had presided over
the deliberations of the senate.
After the adoption of the resolution,
Mr.. Frye delivered a feeling response
and then declared the senate adjourn
- ed.
Brilliant Scene in House.
Amid a scene of enthusiasm that
has not been sparalleled since the ex-
citing and stirring days of the Span
ish war, Speaker Henderson, at 5: SO
this afternoon declared the house OF
representatives adjourned sine die.
The audience to which he made his
brief address was a brilliant one. The
galleries were packed to the doors and
almost tWo-thirdS of the members
were in their seats on the floor.>. The
speakers appreciative words to the
members in thanking them for their
cooperation during the session ha6
touched a responsive chord, and they
gave him a remarkable demonstration
of their friendship and good will.
While the cheering and applause
were still in progress the members or
the floor began singing my Country
'Tis of Thee" 1t was taken up by the
correspondents in the press gallery
over the speakers chair and by the
spectators in the surrounding galleries
and soon the vast hall was ringins
with the swelling chorus. Other patri.
otic airs followed as the members ex.
changed farewells, "The Star Spanglet
Banner" alternating with Dixie
The speaker came down from hi.
rostrum, his appearance on the f1ool
being greeted with For He's a Jolly
Good Fellow" and a perfect rush o.
members to grasp his hand. There
was wild scene when Gen. Hooker
of Mississippi, the old one-armed Con.
federate veteran, took his place BY
the side of the speaker and together
they sang Dixie"
Mr.. Gambler, a Mississippi Democrat
jumped upon desk and let out a vel
of jubilation that fairly shook the raft
ers. For almost half an hour the jubi
lation continued. All this time tn
spectators remained standing in tn
galleries watching the animated seen
