CONGRESS- WORK OVER
Both House and Senate Adjourn For
the Session.
PHILIPPINE BILL PASSED.
Naval Appropriation and General
Deficiency Measures Also Disposed
of, the Senate Accepting the
Final Conference Reports.

Washington, July LIN pursuance
OF an agreement reached earlier in the
day congress adjourned for the SEES
sion at late hour in the afternoon
The house, which had adjourned at
IL p. m. the preceding day, met at 10
o'clock in the morning. Despite the
early hour and the lateness of the
night session, there was a large at
tendance upon the floor. The gal
leries also were well filed with spec
tators.
The chaplain in his invocation prayed
that all the members might return in
good health to resume their duties in
December.
Immediately after the approval of
the journal scramble for recognition
began. Members with small bills of
interest to their constituency were ex-
ceedingly anxious to secure action
upon them, and dozen of them were
almost constantly on their feet clam
oring for opportunity to call them up.
Owing to the fact that but one item
In one appropriation bill remained in
olSpulC DtlN zen tlt TWO HOUSES lllduY
members We're fortunate.
Senate bills were passed as follows:
70 resuryey certain townships in San
Diego, Cal; to authorize Anton B.
Rucken to construct docks and dams
on Pond river, Kentucky; to cede juris-
diction of the site of the National Sol
diers' home at Dayton, O., to the state
of Ohio.
The house agreed to the conference
report on the naval appropriation bill
without division. The result was the
signal for much applause. The CON
ferees had agreed on a compromise on
the disputed item as to building war
ships in government yards, specif1cal-
ly providing that one battleship shall
be constructed in government yard.
The Day In the Senate.
Mr. Hale (Me9 presented the final re-
port of the conferees on the general
deficiency BILL and it was agreed to
without debate. This disposed of the
bill.
Mr. Lodge, chairman of the commit
tee on Philippines. called up the con-
ference report on the bill to provide a
temporary civil government for the
Philippine Islands. The agreement of
the conferees was read in full, after
which the senate agreed to the confer
ence report
The senate also agreed to the confer
ence report on the naval appropriation
bill The report was agreed to without
discussion.
The adoption of the conference re-
ports on the naval and Philippine bills
by the senate passed those measures
and left them ready for the signature
of the president as soon as they were
enrolled and signed by the presiding
officers of the two houses.
The senate, after acting on these re-
ports, went into executive session.
During the afternoon the president
was in attendance at the capitol to sign
belated bills.
