The effect of the vote was to displace

spoke on the Philippine bill. The
/ bill had been talked to death, he said.
| This was not in criticism of senators
who think that in the closing hours of
the session this remedy shall not be
dealt with in an hour. The point he

executive and the house of represen-
tatives are not able to govern a people

in the government. ut is the first

House.-The Fifty-seventh 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 officer of the house,
but as member. The bitter partisan
feeling that has sprung up in the
house during the past week reached
the pitch which prevented the speaker
receiving the unanimous approval of
| the house for which the usual resolu.
tion Of thanks and courtesy was Oh,
fered. More than this, the resolution
had to come from the republican side
and while this has occurred before, 1t
Is not the usual custom. The usual
resolution of thanks to President pro
! tempore Frye was unanimously adopt.
/ ed by the senate. The resolution in.
troduced by Payne and finally adopted
by the house is as follows:
Resolved, That the thanks OF this
house are presented to the Honorable
David B. Henderson, speaker Of the
house of representatives for the able,
impartial and dignified manner in
which he has presided over its de-
alterations and performed the ardu.
Gus and important duties of the chair
| during the present term of congress"
