A long statement was issued yester-
day by President Ramsey, addressed to
employees Of the Wabash Railway
Company and others interested. ex-

crisis now existing is a very grave
one, not only to the Wabash and its
employees, but to other railway COM
panies and their employees and the
commercial and industrial intrests of
the country, as a strike on the Wa.
bash would, in all probability. spread
to large number of other roads, and
would involve not only all organiza'
tions of railroad employees, but other
labor organizations, and the results
might be so serious that the great
anthracite coal strike would dwlndlc
into insignihcance. Therefore, / deem
1t wise to keep the employees all ovel

DEMONSTRATION
II! Il! THE HOUSE
Session OF Congress Just Ad-
iourned Made Appropria-
ton of Over Billion
1850 BILLS WERE INTRODUCED

Washington, March 5.-The 57th con-
gress expired at noon yesterday by
limitation. In many respects the clos
Ing scenes were similar to those at the
end Of every congress. Every four
years. however, there is an Inaugural
ton, which materially changes the pro-
reedings in the senate, but the expira-
ton Of a congress in the house is very
much the same each time. But there
has not been in many years such
demonstration in the house as occur
red yesterday, owing to the fact that
Speaker Henderson was retiring, not
only as presiding officer, but from the
house as a member. The bitter par
tisan feeling that has sprung up in the
house of representatives during the
past week reached a pitch under which
the speaker was prevented from re-
ceiving the unanimous approval OF the
house when the usual resolution OF
thanks and courtesy was offered More
than this, the resolution had to come
from the Republican side, and while
this has occurred before, it is not the
usual custom. The usual resolution of
thanks to President Pro TEN. Frye was
unanimously adopted in the senate.
Two years ago when the seth con-
gress expired it was remarkable not
only for the second Inauguration Of
William Mckinley, but also for the
fact that Senator Carter, of Montana,
talked the river and harbor bill to
death, which occupied the time of the
senate up TO within n few minutes of
the end. Yesterday Senator Mason,
whose term expired at noon, also
talked an unimportant bill to death,
but in his valedictory he lectured the
senate for its unlimited debate which
allows bills to be killed in that man
ner, and he also made final plea for
the freedom OF the Filipinos.
AS all Of the important supply bills
had passed before the two houses took
q recess yesterday morning, no legisla-
ton was necessary and none was at.

London, March 5.-The hollow steel
mast which has been made for Sham
rock III is declared to be the most
remarkable achievement in yacht con-
struction In the United Kingdom. The
worlmen who built the spars for all
three challengers say that the mast
for the new boat is 1500-weight lighter
than that of Shamrock H.. while the
whole spar IS 1SOO-weight lighter than
the lower mast of Shamrock I. The

but they admit that the designer Is
apparently satisfied with the result
since there IS no talk of building al
