appropriated by the present congress
as compared with the appropriations

gress, he stated, was 1854, 10S,51S, as

Washington, March 5.-The Fifty
seventh congress adjourned at noon
Wednesday. The senate was called to
order at ten o'clock for the last Sit
ting. The session was interesting,
not alone because of the official pro-
ceedings on the floor of the cham
Der, incident to the last day of con-
gress, but by many occurrences which
were purely social in their character,
due to the fact that the day marked
the close of many careers in the
senate. President Roosevelt was on
hand to sign the measures which were
passed during the last moments.
House Proceedings.

o'clock. After the house reconvened

end, prevented much legislation. A
resolution of thanks to the retiring
speaker was adopted and at 1902
the house was declared adjourned
