GIVES THE COMMITTEE A HINT
President Intimates That Some Bills
VIII Come Back Next Session.

When the members of the committee
which waited upon him with the in.
formation that congress was ready to
adjourn had delivered their message
the president thanked them for the
laws that had been enacted, but he
added with a smile that he still had
several bills that would be heard from
in the future. This amounted to good
natured but direct notice to congress
that he had not abandoned the sever
al recommendations for legislation
which had not met with congressional
favor this session.
Vice President Fairbanks and Speak
er Cannon received the thanks of the
minority for the impartial manner in
which they had presided over the de
alterations Of the two houses, and both
of these officers made speeches express
ing gratitude at the words of apprecia-
ton. A feature of the house session
was the presentation of a club silver
service of 800 pieces to General Grosve-
nor by his colleagues of the Fifty-ninth
congress. Speeches Of regret at the
veteran Ohioan's retirement were
made from both sides of the chamber.
In addition to the songs and stories
that usually mark the close of a ses-
sion there was a beautiful picture
formed by the entire house rising and
waving flags and singing My Country
This of Thee" as the gavel fell ct
1915. In the senate the last of the
proceedings was the speech by Vice
President Fairbanks prior to adjourn
ment at 1918 p. m. His remarks were
applauded by the thousands of visit
orS, and the applause continued as the
audience watched with interest the
farewells of senators on the floor.

by Senator Allison and Representative
Tawney chairlnen, respectively of the
appropriations committee, and by
Representative Livingston, the rank
ing minority member of the house
committee, regarding the approprla-
tons which have been made during the
session. The total appropriations ag-
gegate $919,94S,6 79e3, and the state
ments follow the usual course of de-
Tending and attacking the necessity or
expedience of a more or less large
per cent. of them.

the filibuster against it conducted by
Carmack being no longer necessary he
surrendered the floor, much to the dis
appointment of the galleries. Extreme
fatigue, due to continued night sessions
in the house during the last week, had
dampening effect upon many con-
gressmen, and the usual excessive last
lay enthusiasm" was confined to less
than half the membership.
President on Hand to Sign Bills.
Despite these conditions the audi
ences in both houses were as large as
they ever have been. Thousands
thronged the corridors unable to secure
admission to either branch. One of
the interesting features incident to the
close of the congress was the visit OF
President Roosevelt, who with his cab
met White House staff and a number
of guests, occupied the Presidents
room in the senate wing. Seated at q
big table in the center of the room he
signed bills as they were enrolled and
presented to him. On account of the
dispatch with winch business mas been
conducted during the past week there
were only forty bills to be signed.
Carried No Crouch with Him.
The president was at the Capitol for
more than an hour. He devoted most
OF the time to visiting with his cab
met, both the retiring and incoming
members being present, and in present
ing them to personal friends of the
senate and house. Retiring senators
were received graciously, and with
out exception the president expressed
regret that these lawmakers were to
lave the service Of the country. Espe-
cially warm was his reception to
SpoOner, who has just announced his
voluntary retirement.

ers'-Adjournment Incidents.
Washington, March 5. = Probably
the most interesting feature of the
close of the session in the house was
the brief speech made by Clark Of
Florida in which he roasted Editor
and Representative Hearst. Clark
referred to newspaper stories of peon-
age in Florida, which he denied, and
said that ''To deal with a 'muck-rak-
err is always unpleasant. 1t is at no
time agreeable to engage in disputation
with that product of our present day
civilization known as yellow journal

the fact that the creature in question
is generally so lacking in character
and so bereft of the essential attributes
Of real manhood that he will resort to
any and every form of falsehood TO
bolster up his original libef'-all OF
which was aimed at VIM. r. Hearst.
The speeches made in each house
when the usual resolutions Of thanks
to the presiding officers were present
on both sides, and when the presiding
officers rose to speak and when they
had concluded the applause was ell
thusiastic.
Cushman of Washington, in the
house, made the first speech when it
came to presenting General Grosvenor
the silver service, and in the course
Of his remarks he said that General
Grosvenor not only never forgot a
political happening, but was credited
by the Democracy with remembering
things that never had happened"
when political exigencies required.
Grosvenor was also presented with a
watch and chain by the floor employees
of the house, an umbrella and cane
by the doorkeepers' force, and a
knight Templar's chain by the post
Office force
The most amusing incident Of the
closing session of the senate was when
Beyeridge called up a long bill for
game protection in Alaska. There were
only twenty-five minutes Of time left
and after the reading of the bill had
proceeded for five minutes Clapp called
attention TO the fact that the bin must
necessarily be amended. 1t gives no
protection to woodchucks, and there Is
no exception against the penalty Of the
law for men who kill ducks and prairie
chickens in self-defense" The bill was
withdrawn amid laughter.

the Great.
Peter the Great particularly delight
ed In drawing teeth, and he strictly
entoined his servants to send for him
when anything Of that sort was to be
done. One day his favorite valet de
cha mbre seemed very melancholy. The
car asked him what was the matter.
"Oh, your majesty" said the man.
my wife is suffering the greatest ag-
Ony from toothache, and she obstinate
1y refuses to have the tooth taken out"
"If that is ALL" said Peter, I'VE will
soon cure it. Take me to her at once"
When they arrived the woman de-
clared that she was not suffering at
all: there was nothing the matter with
her.
That is the way she talks, your
majesty" said the valet. ''She is suf-
feripg tortures.'
Hold her head and hands, said the
ear. 81 Will have it out in minute. y
And he instantly pulled out the indi-
Gated tooth with great dexterity, amid
profuse thanks from the husband.

cover little later that his valet had
