General.

WASHINGTON, March 4--The Fifty-sev-
enth congress expired at noon today by
Limitation. There has not been in many
years such a demonstration in the house
as occurred today, owing to the fact that
Speaker Henderson was retiring not only
as presiding of1cer but from the house as
q member.
The bitter partisan feeling that has
sprung up In the house OF representatives
during the past week reached q pitch
which prevented the unanimous approval
Of the house for the usual resolution OF
thanks and courtesy which was offered.
More than this, the resolution had to come
from the republican side, and while this
has occurred before, II is not the usual
custom.
The usual resolution of thanks to Presi-
dent Pro Tempore Frye was unanimously
adopted in the senate.
Two years ago. when the Fifty-sixth
congress expired, II was remarkable, not
only for the Inauguration Of Mckinley, but
for the fact that Senator Carter Of Mon
tana talked the river and harbor bill tC
death, occupying the time of the senate ur
to within a few minutes Of the END.
Today Senator Mason, whose terri ex-
pired, also talked an Inimportant bill to
death. but In his valedictory he lectured
the senate for it's unlimited debate, which
Rsows bills to be killed in that manner
and he also made final plea for the free
dom Of the Filipinos.
AS all the important supply bills had
passed before the two houses took a recess
this morning, no legislation was neces.
sary, and none was attempted The bills
which had passed and reached the stag
of enrolment were all slgned by President
Roosevelt. who, with members OF his cab
met, entered the presidents room In thu
senate wing Of the capitol. This biennia
visit OF the president to the capitol Il
