.FlFTY-NINTH CONGRESS ENDS
ITS LAB0RS
Efforts to Pass the ship Subsidy Bill
Cease Long Before the oavel

Cause Fatigue
I,y Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-with
new record for large appropriations and
far-reaching legislation, the flfty-nintf
congress was brought to a close shortly
after noon today. The last few hours
were tame In comparison with what
had been expected.
Long before noon Senator Gallinger's
fight for the passage of the ship SUBJ
sidy bin had been abandoned and the
filibuster against IL conducted by Sena-
tor Carmack being no longer necessary,
he surrendered the floor, much to the
disappointment of the galleries.
Extreme fatigue, due to continued
night sessions In the house during the
last week, had a dampening effect on
many congressman and the usual excess
sive "last day" enthusiasm was con-
fined to less than half the membership.
President signs Bills
F.. President Roosevelt, with his oabi-
net, White House staff and a number
of guests, occupied the president s
room in the senate wing. Seated at a
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 which business had been
conducted during the past week there
were only forty bills to be signed to-
day.
y. The president was at the capitol for
more than an hour. He spent most of
the time in visiting with the cabinet,
both the retiring and incoming men,
bers being present, and in presenting
them to personal friends of the senate
and house.
Retiring senators were received and
without exception he expressed regret
that these law makers were to leave
the service of the country. Especially
warm was his reception to Senator
Spooner who yesterday announced his
voluntary retirement.
Thanks congressman
When the members of the committee
which waited upon him with the in
formation that the 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.
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-
liberations of the two houses and both
made speeches expressing gratitude at
the words of appreciation.
A feature of the house session was
the presentation of club silver service
of 300 pieces to General Grosvenor by
his colleagues of the f1fty-ninth con-
gress. In addition to the songs and
stories that usually mark the close OF
the session the entire house arose
waved flags and sang my Country
'Tis of Thee" as the gavel fell at 12:15
In the senate the last of the pro-
ceedings was the speech of Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks prior to adjournment
at 1918 p. m.

MANY ENGLISH BLACKS FLEE

Bellingham. Wash. Sept, 5--Six badly beaten hindus are in the hospital. 400 frightened and half naked Sikhs are in jail; the corridors of the city hall are guarded by policemen. and somewhere between Belingham and the British Columbia line are 75e natives of h. dia, beaten, hungry and half clothed making their way along the Great Northern Railway bound for Canadian territory and the protection of the British flag.
 The long expected cry sdrive out the Hindus." was heard throughout the city and along the water front last night The police were helpless. All author ity was paralyzed and for five hours Q mob of half thousand white men rald- ed the mills where the blacks were working. battered down doors of lodg- ing houses and dragging the invaders form their beds. escorteds them to the city limits with orders to keep on go- ing.
 The city is quiet today. but there Is a strong undercurrent of opinion which apparently approves the action of the mob and 1t may be found impossible to prosecute the leaders.
 Racial feeling has played no small part in the affair. Every day whites were replaced in the mills by blacks. The invaders became bold and insolent, many instances of women being pushed into the gutter, insuIteF on street cars, etc., being reported. General uneasi- ness of the whites is given as a reason for the outbreak.
 The Hindus are all British subjects and their case is being placed before the British authorities.
