The News From Washington.
(By Our Regular Correspondent.

(By Our Regular Correspondent
The most impressive event of the
past week in Washington was the
joint Memorial Session of Congress Mt
which Secretary Hay delivered the
eulogy Of the late President McKin-
ley. The presence on the floor of
the House of Representatives of the
President and his Cabinet, the diplo.
matte corps, the Justices of the Su-
preme Court and the members of
both houses Of Congress gathered to
do homage to the late President was
in itself brilliant and edifying sight.
Quite apart from the presence of the
brother Of the Emperor of Germany,
tho scene was one that will never be
forgotten by those who had the op-
portunity Of witnessing it.
The flags on the Capitol were at
halfmast and the playing of the
hymns, Nearer Ny God to Thee"
and Lead, Kindly Light" by the
Marine Band which was stationed in
the back lobby, gave to the event an
appropriate atmosphere. Among the
early arrivals was Prince Henry of
Prussia. He came up the main aisle
unattended and arriving at tho front
Of the seats he gave the military sa-
Lutte to President pro TEN Frye and
Speaker Henderson who were on the
rostrum. He then turned and stood
at attention" at the head Of the
aisle in position suggestive of
bridegroom awaiting the arrival of
of the bridal party. For fully ten
minutes he SO stood without moving
u muscle. AS Mr.. Roosevelt, follow
ed by his Cabinet arrived at the head
Of the aisle the Prince again saluted
and then bowed low, taking the seat
assigned to him at the right Of the
President.

the Prince visited Mount Vernon and
it is characteristic of the simplicity
OF the royal visitor that when asked

the roots so that it will grow" On
Friday morning it poured rain in
Washington and someone expressed
regret that the weather would mar
the trip to Annapolis. "But it Is
excellent for my little linden tree,
which 1 planted at Mount Vernon"
replied Prince Henry.
The week in the national legisla-
ture was ushured in by decision Of
President pro tenn Frye, Of the Sen
ate, to the effect that because the
Senators from South Carolina had
engaged in a personal encounter on
the floor Of the Senate Chamber and
had subsequently been declared Gin
contempt" by the Senate, their
names should be stricken from the
rolls pending the decision Of the Com
mittee on Privileges and Rules, to
which the question of their conduct
had been referred. The minority
protested that the action Of the Chair
was a virtual disfranchisement of the
State of South Carolina, Senator
Frye later restored the names to the
rolls and on Friday the Committee
reported, censuring the Senators and
relieving them from the charge Of
contempt, but no business was tran
sacted by the Senate between Mon
day and Friday. The conference re-
port on the Census bill was received
and approved on the same day. Sat-
urday was devoted tc the irrigation
bill and some private claims bills.
The House of Representatives has
passed the consular and diplomatic
appropriation bill, accepted the Cen
sus bill, which now requires only the
signature Of the President to become
a law, aud has determined to mon
concur" on the Philippine bill as
amended by the Senate. The bill is
now in the hands of the conference
committee.
On Friday the House took up the
calendar and passed one-hundred and
fifty nine private and claims bills in
three hours when, worn out with it's
lsbors, it adjourned until today.
This evening caucus Of the repub-
lcan members will again take up the
question of reciprocity with Cuba.
1t Is possible that some agreement
will be arrived at although that hard
ly seems probable. I have seen most
of the republican leaders during the
past few days and have been unable
to discover any inclination to recede
from their widely diverse opinions
which practically nullified the recon-
mendations Of the Ways and Means
Committee at the last caucus.
