The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1904-05-03

(Mo), were named They were join
by a committee appointed for sim
liar mission by the house and visited
the president in his room back of the
senate lobby.
Five minutes later the senate com
mittee reported that the president
said he was pleased to say he had no
further communication to make.
The discussion upon appropriations
was then resumed, Mr.. Allison charac-
terizing Mr.. Culberson's figures as "old
and worn out" and applying to differ
ent conditions than those prevailing
today. Mr. Aldrich declared that in
the statement made by Mr.. Culber-
son there were included many items
which were never expended and that
while this statemnt was valuable for
comparison, II did not indicate the ex-
act state of affairs. In 1902 for in
stance, he said that when the appro-
priations were $730,000,000 the ex-
penditures were only s370,00O,0O0 In
1899 the discrepancy was about $4OO,-
600 600.
During Mr.. Aldrichs remarks Mrs.
Roosevelt and her son, Theodore, en-
tered the private gallery and viewed
the scenes with manifest interest.
Mr.. German charged that the gross
appropriations of the past session had
exceeded the revenues of the govern.
ment. There has never been time
when the gross expenditures have
not exceeded the revenues and the
senator from Maryland knows It," de-
clared Mr.. Aldrich. 1T is merely a
matter of book keeping
"Can the senator from Maryland
foretell any better than / can what a
Democratic congress would do on the
tariff" asked Mr.. Aldrich later, when
Mr.. German declared that the govern
ment would soon be in the hands of
the Democracy.
1T will do as II has done from the
beginning of the government" replied
Mr.. German.
"As 1t did in 1S94?" retorted Mr..
Aldrich interrogatively, whereat a
laugh went up from floor and gal
leries.
Later Mr.. German drifted to the
discussion of the postoffice scandal
"The senator is getting OFF the line,
interrupted Mr.. Aldrich
"Oh, no." retorted Mr.. German. "It
is the senator himself who would like
to get into some byway and thus es-
cape the indictment that has been
found against his party"
The galleries were well filed and
the spectators were enjoying the po-
litical sparring between the two lead
ers when upon motion of Mr.. Penrose
the senate went into executive session
for the consideration of nominations.
At 1852 O'Clock the doors were re.
opened with Mr.. Elkins (W. Va.), in
the chair.
Every seat was occupied and al
though the frequent executive ses-
sions had been the means of thinning
the galleries, the floor of the cham
ber was crowded, senate employees be-
ing there in great numbers to witness
the final ceremonies.
Mr.. German, the minority leader up
on being recognized presented the Gus
tOmary resolution Of thanks for the
dignified, able and courteous manner
in which the president pro tenn had
presided in the deliberations of the
senate.
He prefaced the presentation with
the declaration that the thanks were
in no manner perfunctory but that
they expressed the sentiments of each
member Of the senate. They were
agreed to with shout OF ayes.
Mr.. Frye then took the gavel and
feelingly said Senator's: This ex.
preston Of your continued confidence

kind confederation and uniform coun-
tesy have made the office of pres1. |
dent of the senate easy and most |
agreeable. l congratulate you on the
oarly termination Of this session.

The senators broke into applause at !,
the concluding words. There was a
lull. Then the gavel was raised. 1.-THE !

chair declares the senate adjourned |

The gavel fell precisely at 2 o'clock |
Mrs. Roosevelt for a few moments
viewed the farewells being exchanged |
upon the floor and then retired. 1t
was not until 2:30 that the chamber
was deserted.
