Robert Dyson, colored, who was mem
toned in Saturdays Star as having at
tended garden party Friday night and
got into an alteration afterward, states
that he did not attend the party in ques-
ton, but that he was returning home from
a lodge meeting when he ana others were
insulted by several men. Dyson, it seems,
was wearing a Prince Albert coat and a
silk hat, and his apparel seems to have
excited the ire of the parties referred to
and they threatened to assault the ledge

home and changed his clothes and then

GOOO-BY is SAID BY
FIFTY-SEVENTH
CONGRESS
Contrary to Custom, the Us
ual Resolution of Thanks
to the Speaker Is Present
ed by a Member of the Ma
jority-Great Demonstra-
ton for Henderson.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March A.
The Fifty seventh congress expired at
noon today by limitation. There has
not been in many years such a Demon
stratiOn in the house as occurred to-
day owing to the fact that Speaker
Henderson was retiring not only as
presiding officer, but from the house
as a member. The bitter partisan feel
ing that has sprung up in the house
during the past week reached a pitch
which prevented the speaker from re-
Ceiving the unanimous approval of the
house when the usual resolution Of
thanks and courtesy was offered. More
from the Republican side; and while
this has occurred before, 1t is not the
custom.
The usal resolution of thanks to pres
ident pro tempore for years was unan-
imously adopted in the senate. Sen
ator Mason, whose term expired at
noon, talked an unimportant bill to
death, but in his valedictory he lee
tured the senate for its unlimited de-
bate which allows bills to be killed in
that manner, and he also made a final
plea for the freedom of the Filipinos.
AS all Of the important supply bills
had passed before the two houses took
a recess this morning, no legislation
was necessary and none was attempt
ed. The bills which had passed and
reached the stage of enrolment were
all signed by President Roosevelt, who,
with members of his cabinet occupied
the presidents room in the senate wing
of the capitol.

MAY RECALL PASSES,
Etkins' Bill Presents Difficulties as to
Free TRANSPORTATION

CHICAGO, March Western railway
managers are in a quandary regarding
what action to take with reference to
annual passes which were issued and
sent to shippers before the Elkins law.
Many thousands of such passes are
outstanding, and, although, they were
issued before the new statute went into
effect, the general opinion is that their
use is now illegal, and will subject both
the railroads and the users to fine for
violation of the act. 1t is thought that
the interstate commission will not re-
frain from including the outstanding
annual passes when they begin to in
vestigate matters. r.
1t was this peculiar phase of the sit
uation which led to the calling of a
general meeting Of passenger officials

WASHINGTON, D. c., March A.
The senate was calledNto%order at 10

WHAT CONGRESS SPENT.
Appropriations for Two Sessions Ag-
aresate 1854, 1o8,51S.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March A.
Senator Allison, chairman of the COM
mittee on appropriations, made state
ment in the senate today regarding the
amount of money appropriated by the
present congress as compared with the
appropriations of the Fifty sixth con-
gress. The total appropriation for the
present congress was 1854, 10S, 51S, as
compared with $1,440,4 S9,4 3S for the
F1fty-si congress. The first and
most important item included in this
statement for the present congress is
an appropriation of $50,13O,0OO for the
Panama canal, which, he said, accounts
for nearly one-half of the increase.
There is also, he said, an aggregate
appropriation for the pOstoffice depart
ment of $153, 141, 349 for the next fiscal
year, as compared with $13S, 000, 900 for
the current year, making a difference
of more than $50,000,0O in excess OF
the appropriations of the last congress
for the postal service. This, he ex-
planned, arises from the enormous in
crease in expenditures caused by in
creased postal business. Then, too.
the rural free delivery service required
large sums. There vas smaller
deficiency than there has been in many
years in the postal receipts as COM
pared with the expenditures. He call.
ed attention to the fact that the last
congress passed the river and harbor
bill.
In the first session of this congress
$27,O00,000 is appropriated for rivers
and harbors in addition to which 500
100000 was appropriated in the sundry
civil bill for carrying out contracts.
He said that while it appears that the
appropriations of this congress have
been largely in excess of those of the
last congress, the increase is chiefly
made up of three items, namely, the
$50,000,000 for the Panama canal, the
increased appropriation of $4,000, 900
for the postal service, and the river
and harbor appropriations. Mr. ALI
son gave the following itemized state
ment showing the expenditures for the
DaSt session.

SENATORS mo LONGER.
Seven Democrats and Six Republicans
Return to Private Life.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March A.
The session of the senate today was
interesting, not alone by the official
proceedings on the floor of the cham
per incident to the last day of congress,
put 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.
OF the thirty senators whose terms
expired When the presiding officers
gaVel fell at noon, thirteen failed to
secure reelection either through de-
feat or through their own refusals to
enter the contest in their various
states. Included in the number whose
official presence in the chamber will no
longer be noted. are six Republicans
and seven Democrats, but of the Re
publicans, two-Senator Jones, of Ne
vada, and Senator Wellington, of Mary
land-have in recent years each sup
ported for a time the national candi-
dates of the opposing party. Two
other senators-Deboe, of Kentucky,
and Pritchard, of North Carolina-are
Southern Republicans, and both are
succeeded by Democrats. The remain
ing two senators are Senator Mason, of
Illinois, and Simon, of Oregon. OF
the seven retiring Democrats, Senators
Harris, of Kansas; Turner, of Wash
1ngton, and Heitfield, of Idaho, were
elected as Populists, and all are sue
ceeded by Republicans. Senator Nc
Laurin, of South Carolina, was elected
as a Democrat, and while still classed
as such had acted independently dur
ing the greater part of the term. The
other three senators, Vest, Jones, of Ar
kansas. and RaWlins, have from first
to last been in the Democratic ranks,
and Jones and Vest have risen to places

great deal of time, the board of con-
struction will recommend a vessel of
the Massachusetts type, with perhaps
about five fet more freeboard, making
her better sea boat but with about
the same battery of four twelve-inch
guns in the main turrets, eight eight
inch guns in the corner turrets and
about twelve inch guns in the
side battery. These plans will be

The Possibilities Most Talked of Are

Even at this early date there is much
speculation as to who will be appointed
to succeed w. A. Scott as general man

difference of opinion. Considering the
local field only the logical candidate
for this position would be A. w. Tren-
holm, now general superintendent
and the ability of Mr.. Trenholm is
we'll recognized. The recent acquisition
of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri

however, complexities the situation, and

written in Chinest characters, on rice

Gong Kee, made a. complete trip
through the park. Messps. Gong and
Long are, as far as known, the first
tourists of their race who ever went
through the park, although Chinese la
