PRAISED BY PRESIDENT
WORK OF THE PRESENT CON
GREss HIGHLY EULoGIzED.

President Roosevelt last night on the ad-
1ournment of the Congress dictated a state
ment concerning the work accomplished
during the session just ended. He says that
the present Congress has done more sub
stantive work along the lines of real con-
structive statema nship' than has been ac-
complished at any session OF Congress with
which the President is familiar. He says
that men of genuine patriotism have q
right to feel "a profound satisfaction in tho
entire course of this Congress-
The text of the Presidents statement fol-
lows:
In the session that has Just closed the
Congress has done more substantive work
for good than any Congress has done at
any session since / became familiar with
public affairs. The legislation has been
along the lines of real constructive states
manship Of the most practical and efficient
type, and bill after bill has been enacted
into law which was of an Importance SO
great that 1t is fair to say that the enact
ment of any of them alone would have
made the session memorable; such, for IN
stance as the railroad rate bill The meSt
inspection measure, the pure food biil ,he
bill for free alcohol in the arts, the con-
sular reform bill, Panama canal Ieg'sle-
ton, the Joint statehood blu and the nat
uralization bill / certainly nave 70 disro-
sition to blink what there Is of evil in our
social. Industrial or political life of today.
but IT seems to me that the men of genuine
patriotism who genuinely wish we'll to their
country have the right 20 feel a profound
satisfaction in the entire course Of this
Congress.
Il would not be afraid to compare it's rec
ord with that OF any previous Congress in
our history, not alone for he wisdom, but
for the disinterested high-mindedness which
has controlled its action. 1t Is notewor.h by
that not single measure which the closest

THE BEST SESSION EVER
SPEAKER CANNON COMMENTS
ON RECENT LEGISLATION.

Speaker Cannon had a few comments to
make shortly after the adjournment of
the House last night, concerning the work
accomplished during the first session of
the Fifty-ninth Congress
I'm my judgment" said the Speaker, "ths
work done and the legislation enacted in
the session just closed exceeds in import
ance, for the best interests of all the peo-
pie OF the republic. the work OF any session
during my thirty years of public life.
have not time TO make complete review
of all the legislation. Suffice 1t to say that
the legislation covering appropriations and
authorization of public expenditures has
been most carefully considered and wisely
enacted.
THE legislation commonly referred to as
the rate legislation, the pure food bill, the
inspection feature OF the agricultural bill,
are all measures that affect the interests
OF all the people. and while nothing per-
feet can be enacted. / am satisfied that
the operation of these laws win demons
strate their wisdom
And believe If nothing else had been
accomplished than the enactment of these
three measures, they alone would be suff1-
ctent to make the first session Of the Fifty
ninth Congress memorable one in the his
tory of the republic"

MIXED CABINET Is POSSIBLE

ST. PETERSBURG, June 30.-The down.
fall of the Goremykin ministry. whose
blundering attempts to bridge the chasm
between the government and parliament
have resulted only in widening the breach.
now is virtually an accomplished fact, If
the statement of grand duke to this ef-
feet can be accepted.
According to this parsonage the final des-
perate effort of the faction of the baffled
ministry headed by Minister of Agriculture
Stichinsky, which f1outs parliament's con-
tinued expressions of lack of confidence In
the government ard wishes to dispense 1t
as revolutionary body and again resort
to force and repression.
The constantly recurring disaffection
among the troops and the sad evidences of
disloyalty in the regiment Of the imperial
guard Of which the emperor himself is
colonel and the grand dukes honorary Of
ficers. probably convinced his majesty of
the folly Of trying further to temper the
feeling OF the country.
Must Be Dismissed.
At any rate. according to the grand duke.
the decision finally has been taken to bow
to the demand of parliament and dismiss
the present ministry and to make no at
tempt to impose a forced recess upon parlia-
ment.
hands of the constitutional democrats,
which would mean nothing less than the in
auguration of a true constitutional mon
archical regime. would find the leaders Of
that party ready to undertake the task Of
fighting the rising tide of revolution but
it is too much to expect the emperor and
the court to make such abject capitulation
Probably a Mixed Ministry. il.
In spite of denials to the contrary, nego-
tiations between the conservative constitu-
tional democratic leaders and Emperor
Nicholas have been secretly in progress for
several days. but there Is no reason to be-
lieve they have eventuated anything def
mite as to the real purpose OF the emperor
and the court in an attempt to supersede
the Goremykin cabinet with mixed minis
try composed of constitutional democrats
and octoberites elected from members Of
the council of the empire with Finance
Minister Kokovsoff instead of NJ Mouremt-
self, president of the lower house of parlia-
ment, as premier Such a cabinet, If 1t
could be formed. might serve the purpose
temporarily of tfding over the present cri-
sis, but the divergent elements PROBABLY
would be incapable of working in harmony,
and this would only postpone and not solve
the great issue.
The difficulty of forming new cabinet is
likely to delay the announcement Of Pre-
mer Goremykin's retirement several days.

Remarks by the Speaker.
''The hour is at hand when, under the
terms of the concurrent resolution, the first
session of the Fifty ninth Congress is to
close.
II desire to return my thanks to each and
all of the membership of the House for the
uniform courtesy extended to myself as
Speaker.
1T is proper for me to say that in thirty
years service In the House Of Representa-
tives its membership has never been more
able, more Industrious. or more devoted to
the performance of it's duties for the best
interests OF the country than during the
session about to close. The differences at
times have been sharp and decisive, but l
take pleasure in saying that at all times In
our deliberations courtesy has abounded,
and that our differences have been sincere
from the individual and from the party
standpoint.
mo session of Congress has. in my judg-
ment, for thirty years accomplished so
much that is valuable in legislation for the
best interests of all the people as has been
enacted during the present session believe
that this will be the verdict of history.

remain in health and return to your duties
