S4fo,ooo For State Hospital

Considerable time was spent by the senate in the discussion of apDropri- ating $4l0,000 for the support and maintenance of the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases, the amount being the same as appropriated for the iR' stitution two years ago. The onfs1 objection to the bill was on account of the appropriation being in a lump, the opponents insisting that it should be itemtzed. It was contended by the senators that the charity board could be safely depended upon to disburse the money properly and honestly and that it was impracticable to specify the amount of the items to be paid out. They carried their point and the bill was passed, after being fayorably recommended by the Con- mittee of the whole, with only two votes in the negative.

CONGRESS QUITS
 TO MEET AGAIN
TAFT, PEEVED AT FAILURE OF CANADIAN RECIPROCITY, CALLS
 EXTRA SESSION FOR APRIL I.
Furry of Excitement by Trying to Resqn His Seat.

WaShingto D. C.-The SiXty-firSt congress, needless of what President Taft considered the most important legislative task set before it, came to an end shortly after noon March 4. Within the four following P@esi- dent Taft had issued a proclamation calling the new congress in eXtraor- dinary session at noon Tuesday, April l.
 At that time he will submit for ratification to a house overwhelming ly Democratic and to a senate bare ly Republican the reciprocity agree ment with Canada.
 The Mccall bill, carrying that agreement into effect and passed by the house, was not allowed to come up in the senate for moments con sideration, The permanent tariff board bill, passed by the senate, was killed in the house by a Democratic filibuster. All the big appropriation bills finally managed to squeeze through in time for approval by the president Eight of the bills, cary ing more than $70O,00O,000, were rushed through in the last 48 hours of the session.
 It was at the request of the Demo- crats of the house and senate that President Taft fixed the date of the extra session on April. There is lit tie doubt that the Democrats in the house will undertake to revise at least two or three of the schedules of the Payne-Aldrich tariff act and there is every reason also to believe these bills will be favorably received in the new senate-the increased Democratic and insurgent strength in that body giving majority to the principle of a further revision of the tariff downward.
 Senator Bailey of Texas, Democrat ic leader in the senate, furnished a genuine sensation during the closing hours of congress, when, angered at the refusal of a majority of the Dem ocrats to follow his lead in fighting the new constitution of Arizona, he wrote out his resignation and hand ed it to Vice President Sherman. The vice president declined to have anything to do with the resignation, and Senator Bailey Immediately tel egraphed it to Governor Colquitt of Texas, who also refused to accept it. Within a few hours, however, friends of the Texan had prevailed upon him to withdraw his resignation, and the incident was a closed one.
