Philippine Question Occupies the
Last Hours In the Senate.
Washington, July 2.-Amid a scene
Of enthusiasm that has not been paral.
leled since the exciting and stirring
days of the Spanish war, Speaker Hen
derson declared the house of repre-
sentatives adjourned sine die. In do
ing so he said that no house of repre-.
sentatives since the adoption of the
Constitution had done as much work
as this one. The audience to which
he made his brief address was bril-
liant 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
tession had touched responsive
chord and they gave him remarkable
demonstration of their friendship and
good will. While the cheering and
applause were still in progress the
members on 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 surround
ing galleries and soon the vast hall
was ringing with the swelling chorus.
Other patriotic airs followed as the
members exchanged farewells, THE
Star Spangled Banner" alternating
with Dixie" The speaker came
down from his rostrpm, his appear
ance on the floor being greeted with
For He's Jolly Good Fellow" and
perfect rush of members to grasp
his hand. Standing in the area in
front of the clerks desk he joined in
the songs and there was a wild scene
when General Hooker of Mississippi,
the old one.armed Confederate vet
eran, took his place by the side of the
speaker and together they sang
Dixie" Mr.. Gambler, a Mississippi
Democrat, jumped upon a desk and
let out yell of jubilation that fairly
shook the rafters. For almost half an
hour the jubilation continued. All
this time the spectators remained
standing in the galleries watching the
animated scene below and joining in
the singing.
The adjournment came at the end
of seven and a half hours session,
during which much minor business was
transacted. In all seventy bills and
resolutions were passed. The general
good feeling in the house had been
heightened by the victory won over
the senate on the item in the naval
appropriation bill for the building of
battleship in government yard.
The closing hour was occupied with
spirited debate between Mr.. Cousins
of Iowa and Mr.. Richardson, the Demo
cratic leader, over the report on the
investigation into the charges made
by Captain Christmas concerning the
sale of the Danish West Indies. Mr..
Cousins ridiculed Mr.. Richardson for
bringing the matter to the attention Of
congress. The latter defended his
course.

Chicago, July 2.-Transportation in
the Mid3e West may be seriously af-
fected as the result Of q series of
strikes threatened by machinists and
boilermakers employed by every rail-
road entering Chicago from the West.
The first of this series Of strikes was
called during the day, when the 140
boilermakers employed by the Chicago
and Northwestern railroad were called
out. Before the week is over the ma
chinists employed by the road may
follow them. A strike of the 100 ma
chinists employed by the Baltimore

railroads follow the example set by
those already approached the strike

sumo national proportions
The demands of the boilermakers
relate principally to increases in
wages. The men are now receiving
81 cents an hour. They ask IS cents
an hour. The machinists have pre-.
sented demand for an increase of 10
per cent in wages and the reduction
OF the working day from ten to nine
hours. There are 600 machinists en-
ployed by the Chicago and Northwest
ern. The Baltimore and Ohio ma
chinists are striking to prevent the
adoption of the piece work system in
departments where it is not in force
and to secure an advance in wages
from $2.75 to So day.
Embarrassed as they are by the de-

Safely Lodged In the
Penitentlary,

There is big scare at Minot over
the report that disbarment proceed
ings have been instituted against seven
Ward county attorneys. Special In
spector Rugy was sent to that section
to investigate. Six of the attorneys
on the blacklist are in towns outside
of Minot. They will have to show
cause why they will not be disbarred
from practicing before the land office.
The charges preferred against them
are under the head of speculation in
contests. Some Of them would en-
ploy a list Of men to institute contest
proceedings and then settle the mat
ter with the original claim holders.
The business is reported to have been
profitable.
