The passage of the government en-
ployes' liability bill and the adoption of
conference reports on the public buildings
and the deficiency appropriation bills i'm
mediately followed final action on the
Aldrich- Vreeland compromise currency
measure in the Senate Saturday. This
disposed of most of the remaining i'm
portant legislation before that body. The
deficiency bill carries appropriations ag-
gregating $50, of which ST., 1885,
$50 is for beginning work authorized by
the public building bill. The Senate at
81 in the afternoon passed the Aldrch-
Vreeland currency bill by vote of 40 to
%, this action being taken after a day
devoted TO a flibuster against the meas
ure. Senators Stone Of Missouri and
Gore Of Oklahoma occupied the time of
the Senate after Z :03 o'clock in the
morning, when Mr. La Toilette retired
Mr.. La Toilette broke the record for long
speeches, holding the floor continuously
for eighteen hours and forty-three min
utes. At 6 O'Clock in the evening the
Senate took a recess for two hours, when
resolution for sine die adjournment at
II 30 was adopted Having concluded
its labors for the session the House short
ly after 8 p. m. adopted a resolution to
adjourn sine die at ten minutes before
midnight. The news that the currency
bill had passed the Senate quickly reached
the House and evoked great applause.
From that time on business moved with
rapidity that signifed a speedy termina-
tion of the first session of the Sixtieth
Congress. The conference report on the
public buildings bill, which had been held
up pending action on the currency ques-
ton, was quickly brought out and agreed
to, This action was Immediately followed
by the adoption of the conference report
on the general deficiency bill, thus clear
ing the decks of all important pending
legislation. Other measures put through
were Providing life-saving apparatus on

and enlisted men Of the Texas volunteers
authorizing the issuance of guns and am
munition to the Memorial University Of

When the Senate convened Friday it
became apparent that a flibuster, small
in numbers but determined, was abou;
to try to defeat the currency bill. Sem
ator Culberson spoke at some length after
the report Of the conferees was introduced
and scored President Roosevelts admin-
istration for extravaganza During this
speech Senator La Toilette conferred with
Senator Stone, who had just arrived from
Missouri. The Wisconsin Senator cal'od
for roll call every time it appeared there
was no quorum present while Mr.. CuIber-
son was speaking. When the speeea
against the administration was finish Il
Mr.. La Toilette took the floor and an.
rounced ms intention of talking the cur
rency bill tn death. He resorted to mony
devices to pass the time and keep the
floor, calling for roll calls, reading from
documents and answering questions. He
took the floor at / o'clock in the after
noon and held it till late at night The
situation in the Senate on the currency
question, combined with the oppressive
ness of the heat and indisposition to do
further business, caused the House at
'oV O'CLOCK 10 take recess untll &
o'clock at night. With the greatest diff
Guilty quorum was maintained, a large
number of members already having left
the city. a bill was passed providh for
making allotments on the Fort Peck In
dian reservation, Montana, and a lot Of
miscellaneous business was transacted,
being mostly disagreements to Senate
amendments to minor bills. Up to the
time of taking the recess the Democrats
Shad forced five roll calls. But eighteen
members were in their seats when the
House reconyened. After nearly an hours
wait for quorum to appear, during
which time all the resources of the SER
geant-at-arms were employed, the House
took recess uotil IL a. M. Saturday.

COSTLY THIMBLES

TT is said that the thimble OF greatest price is
L that in possession of the Queen of Siam
to whom it was presented by her husband the
King. This thmble IS OF course a magnificent
work OF art, being made OF pure gold IN the
shape OF half-opened lotus flower, the floral
emblem of the royal house OF Siam. 1t is
thickly studded with diamonds OF the first
water, not to speak OF other precious stones,
the whole being so arranged as to form the
name OF her Majesty, together with the date
OF her marriage.
Some Years ago Paris ieweler made most

millionaire. 1t was somewhat larger than the
ordinary thimble and the price agreed was
about twenty Thousand dollars. The gold set
