ADJOURNMENT REACHED IN BoTH
HOUSES or CONGRESS AT
MIDNIGHT SATURDAY.
A BILLION APPROPRIATED
FIIIbuster Against Currency Bill In
Senate a FaIIure--A Review Of
the Work by Representa-
tive Tawney.

Washington, June 1.-Just ten mil
utes, officially, before the hands Of tn
big round clocks In the chambers O
the two houses of congress pointed t

In the house the closing hours wer'
characterized by Republican demon
stration in honor of Speaker Cannon
and one by Democrats In the Interest
of William ]. Bryan. The excitement
intense at times, finally subsidized, and
the session closed with good fellow,
ship among the members. The senate
was extremely quiet during the closing
hours, held together only by the ne
cessity Of remaining in session for the
engrossing and signing of bills 4.
The last days of the senate will be
memorable on account of the filibuster
OF LaFollette, Stone and Gore against
the emergency currency bill, the re-
markable interpretations of the rules
which go far to establish cloture in a
body noteworthy for the freedom of
debate, and the final passage Of the
currency bill. President Roosevelt and
several of his cabinet were at the CAPT.
toll during the evening.

preparation committee reviewed the
work Of the session. He said the total
appropriations were 1851, OSS,67O. The
total revenues Of the government esti-
mated to congress by the secretary Of
the treasury are placed at $878, 123011.
In addition to the authorized expendi-
lures of 1851 ,0SS,670 for the operation |
of the government during the next

70 PREPARE the PLATFORM
CONFERENCE ON SUBJECT TO Be
HELD IN WASHINGTON.


Washington, May 28.-At least ten
tatlve draft Of the Republican nationa
platform will be prepared In Washing
ton. Already arrangements are max
Ing for conferences on the subject
The likelihood Is that the conferences
will be held here next week, and that
by the time the delegates to the con
vention turn their faces toward Chi
cago, the declaration Of principles will
have been whipped into shape and
tucked away In the inside pocket of a
prospective member OF the committee
on resolutions
Participating in the platform con-
ferences will be President Roosevelt
Secretary Taft, leading Republicans In
both branches Of congress and others
who probably will take a conspicuous
part In the convention and subsequent
campaign.
Arthur l. Vorys, the Ohio manager
Of Secretary Taft's preliminary cam
paign, was in Washington Wednesday
comforting with Mr.. Taft. 1t can be
said that he did not come to the capt.
toll primarily to discuss the platform
with the secretary, but on business Of
a different character. 1t is expected
that Wade H. Ellis, attorney general
Of Ohio, who is one Of the delegates
at-large from that state. will have a
part in the preparation Of the platform.
He drew the tariff revision FLANK Of
the platform adopted by the Republi-
cans of Ohio at their state convention
and 1t is anticipated that somewhat
similar declaration respecting the
tariff will be adopted at Chicago, rar-
tlcularly If the forces Of Secretary
Taft should control the convention.
Beyond informal discussion of the
subjects to be treated in the platform,
nothing has yet been done in definite
way in its preparation.
Secretary Taft had conference late
afternoon with Frank H.
Hitchcock, eastern and southern man
yer of his campaign, and Mr., Vorys,
concerning the conference, nothing
vas disclosed beyond the general fact
hat 1t related to the final details of
he preliminary campaign.
