REVIEW OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION
ENACTED BY CONGRESS.

Washington, March 2.-The work of
this session of congress, the closing of
which marks the expiration of the
kifty-seventh congress, is practically
at an end, except for the passage of
the appropriation bills now pending,
and these are in the final stages. A
limited number of other measures may
be passed during the last hours, but
the number will be very small.
Among the acts of this session is
that creating the department of COM
merce and labor and adding another
cabinet officer to the presidents off
cial family. That department, with
George B. Cortelyou, late secretary to
the president. as its head, is now in
process of organization.
Another important piece of legisla-
ton enacted at this session is the anti
rebate act, commonly known as the
Elkins law. Another bill was passed
which enables the attorney general to
expedite suits brought under he Sher-
man antitrust law, and incorporated
in the legislative, executive and judi
'clal appropriation act is a provision
which places at the immediate dis
posal of the attorney general the sum
OF $5O0,000 to better equip him for the
enforcement of the antitrust laws
now existing. A further provision is
made in the general deficiency bill for
two assistants to the attorney general
and additional clerks.
Tile house also passed the Littlefield
antitrust bill, which contained a publ
city feature as we'll as an anti-rebate
clause. The bill failed of passage in
the senate.
One of the first acts of this session
was the suspension of the tariff on
coal of all kinds coming from any for
eign country.
Legislation of Importance to the
army and navy was enacted. A general
staff corps has been provided for the
United States army, the duties of
which are to prepare plans for the de-
tense of the country and for the mob
lllzatlon OF the armies of the United
States in times of war, as we'll as to
render professional aid to the score
tary of war and the general officers of
the army. This measure was proposed
by the secretary of war.
The militia bill, introduced by Rep
resentative Dick, of Ohio, and which
passed the house during the first ses-
sion, passed the senate during this ses-
sion and has become a law. This act
provides for the general organization
of the militia of the United States and

Senator Hoar on the Cells.

In recent speech at Indianapolis
before the Irvington Athenaeum, Sen
ator Geo. Il. Hoar of Massachusetts
paid grand tribute to the Celt, whom
he called the free lance of the
world.' In the course of his eloquent
address, the aged statesmen said:
THE element in our American citi-
Zenship to which we are in the habit
of giving the name of Celtic is made

for ages has preserved the ancient

will and the human intellect to her

authority, whose history reaches back
to Il past which would be forgotten

OF it.

SENATORS ELECTED AT LAST.
Deadlock in Delaware Legislature
Broken and Ball and Alice
Elected.

Dover, Del, March 3.-The Della
ware legislature Monday afternoon
ended the senatorial deadlock by
.electing State Senator j. Frank
Alice (union republican, to the long
term senatorship which expires in
1907, and Congressman Louis Heisler
Ball Irregular republican, to the
short term, which ends in 1905. Alice
was congratulated by his colleagues,
and by the assembly generally. Con-
gresham Ball was in Washington
Monday.
The result is regarded here as an
Addicks victory. Pressure brought
to bear upon the regular republicans
from Washington undoubtedly had
much to do with preventing the ac-
ceptance of the democratic offer to
join with the regulars to elect one
regular and leave a vacancy.
