This was not in criticism OF senator's
who think that in the closing hours OIL

tatives are not able to govern peopie
8 O0O miles away who have no voice

plishing anything, the senate At u
o'clock adjourned.
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 tnat
Speaker Henderson was retiring not
only as presiding officer OF the house
hut as a member. The bitter partisan
feeling that has sprung up IN tho
house during the past week reached
the pitch which prevented the speaker
receiving the unanimous approval OF
the house for which the usual resolu'
ton of thanks and courtesy was o.
fered. More than this, the resolution
had to come from the republican side
and while this has occurred before, II
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 arda'
GUS and important duties of the chair
during the present term OF congress:
AS all of the important supply bills
had passed when the two houses took
recess this morning no legislation was
necessary and none was attempted.
The bills which had passed and reach.
ed the stage of enrolment were all
signed by President Roosevelt, VINO
with members of his cabinet occupied
the presidents room in the senate.
This biennial visit Of the president to
the capitol is one of the features OF
closing congress.
Washington, March 5.-Senate.-

souri,. Mr. Barnes, assistant secretary
to the president, appeared in the sen
ate with message from the presi
dent The message was not read. Mr.
Tillman referred to a speech delivered
in the house which he had character
lied as remarkable" Mr.. Tillmar
said he did not know that there had
ever been similar one delivered In
either branch Of congress. He then
quoted from Mr.. Cannon's speech in
the house early yesterday morning i1
which he gave the reasons for the
house conferees receding from theil
position with respect to the claim Of
South Carolina for $4,000, growing
out of the war of 1925. Mr.. Hale
followed Mr.. Tillman. He said thu
speech Of Mr.. Cannon would be for
| gotten. He would pass to higher
honors and would have hundred
things of which he would be proue
and he would regret the speech made
upon the deficiency bill. Mr.. Hale re
ferred to the matter as an incorporate
address and Incorporate remarks are
always regretted. Mr.. Allison en-
dorsed all Mr.. Hale said and then re
viewed the history Of the deficiency
bill. Mr.. Allison declared that utter
ances declaring that one house shall
change it's rules or be compelled to dc
so were not in accord with the comfy
that should govern the proceedings
of the two houses.
Faith without works is dead, but
some men never cease trying to gal.
