Washington, d. c., Sunday.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and party left Wash
ington at twenty-five minutes to one
O'Clock this morning for Oyster Bav.
over the Pennsylvania Railroad. Tho
Presidential train consisted of two
Pulimans and a baggage car. The
President drove to the railway sta
ton In an open carriage ,accompan-
led by Secretary Loeb. He was at
tired in summer costume.
After session marked bv the ey-
penditure of more than SSO,O00,O0O.
an increase of $6O,OOO,0OO over even
the extravaganza Of the preceding
body, Congress adjourned last night
at ten O'Clock.
The last day was marked by excit-
Ing scenes, weary delays and the hi
larious actions of members Of the
House during the waits for action on
the important measures kept until
the last moment
President Roosevelt attended at
the Capitol all day to sign late bills,
but after many weary waits was COM
PEELED to go home leaving two IN
signed.
Mr.. Roosevelt prepared to leave
for Oyster Bay on the midnight train.
Before going he issued this state
ment:
In the session that has just closed
the Congress has done more substan-
tiaI work for good than any Congress
has done at any session since I be-
came familiar with public affairs. The
legislation has been along the lines
of real constructive craftsmanship Of
the most practical and efficient type.
and bill after bill has been enacted
into law which was of an import
ance so great that it is fair to say
that the enactment Of any one of
them alone would have made the ses-
sion memorable; such, for instance,
as the Railroad Rate bill, the Meat
Inspection measure, the Pure Food
bill, the bill for free alcohol in the
arts, the Consular Reform bill, the
Panama Canal legislation, the Joint
Statehood bill and the Naturalization
bill.
II certainly have no disposition to
blink at what there is Of evil in our
social, industrial or political life Of
to-day, but it seems to me that the
men of genuine patriotism who sin
cerely wish we'll to their country
have the right to feel a profound sat
isfaction in the entire course of the
Congress.
81 would not be afraid to compare
its record with that of any previous
Congress in our history, not alone
for the wisdom but for the disinter
ested high minedness which has con-
trolled it's actions. 1t is noteworthy
that not a single measure which the
closest scrutiny could warrant us in
calling of doubtful propriety has
been enacted, and on the other hand
no influence of any kind has availed
to prevent the enactment of laws
most vitality necessary to the nation
at this time"

indianapolis, Ind. Jan. 1.-THE sew
enth annual convention of the United

Of the 1000 delegates were on hand when
President John Mitchell called the con-
vention to order.
Welcoming addresses were made by

dent of the Central Labor Union of IN
dianapolis, and Alfred Potts, president
of the Commercial club. A letter from
Mayor B0ofzwalter welcoming the min
ers to the city was also read. It was
regarded as likely that President Mitch
ell would deliver his address late in
the afternoon, though owing to a great
deal of parliamentary work he might
not be called on until tomorrow.
In the hall were a number of coal OPP
orators and representatives of several
railroads and other coal consuming in
terests. A band that accompanied the
Kansas delegation opened the conven-
ton with music.

MISS ALICE'S GOWNS.
wedding Dress viii Be Of Heavy
White BrOcadc.

Washington, January 17.-Miss Alice
Roosevelt's wedding gown is being made
in Washington near the White House. 1t
is of heavy white brocade, and is being
made with long train.
Every effort is made to keep the de-
tails of the wedding dress a secret.
While some of Miss Alice's other gowns
are being made here, still others are in
course of preparation in Baltimore. One
is travelling suit of gray broadcloth,
which is designed, it is said. for Miss
Roosevelt's 'going-away'' gown. In Sc
lecting this color Miss Roosevelt diverts
from popular tastes, for blue and
brown have long held sway with latter
day brides. With this costume the
presidents daughter will wear the set of
silver gray fox furs which is now being
made for her by a local furrier.
There viii be in the set a gray toque
of the same fur. Another gown in pre-
paration by the same dressmaker is an
evening gown of green grenadine. built
over a foundation of light green silk.

ALLURING OUTLOOK.
Is Pictured by Chief Engineer Stevens
of Panama Canal.

Washington, January 17.-Chief En-
gineer Stevens, of the Panama canal
commission, appeared before the SEN
ate investigating commission. He
talked of conditions on the isthmus,
discussing sanitation, labor difficulties
and questions of like character, deal
ing with the administration of canal
affairs with greater detail and free
dom than in his published report. He
denied the stories of alleged importa-
ton of women into the canal zone for
immoral purposes. His picture Of
sanitary conditions and the prospects
for effective construction was roseate
to-the extreme, but he condemned the
necessity of working laborers on eight
hour shifts.
He urged that the eight hour law
should not apply to the employment
of certain classes of labor used in canal
work on the ground that so much in
competency was displayed that the
wages paid to such workmen were ex-
cessive. Neither the type of canal nor
the report of the consulting board of
engineers had been considered when
the noon recess was taken.
