.LAFOLLETTE WINS FIu|BUSTER
When it Came Up For Final Vote There Was No Opposition; Dsh-
 ciency Bill is Passed.

WASHINTON, D. C., Aug 26.- Sobered by the endorsements of Saturdays all night session, of the filibusters and disagreements, .con- gress adjusted it's differences today and invited President Taft to the capitol once more, and at 4:30 this afternoon wrote ''finis'' after the pro- ceedings of the second session of the sixty-second congress. The end was marked by harmony.
 Senator LaFollette, demanding ac- tion on the Penrose campaign fund resolution, found all opposition smoothed away and the resolution was adopted almost without discus sion Senators Chamberlain, Martin, Swanson and Culberson, after fight ing bitterly for the state claims in the general deficiency bill, permitted the senate to yield to the house demands and strike out these claims. For this concession, however, they received promises of support next winter from other senators when the claims again will be presented With these old claims, amounting to $6O0,0O0, went "an extra months pay for congress sional employees, which the senate demanded and the house refused to give.
 General Deficiency Bill.
 In the last half nour of the session, while president Taft waited in his special room to sign measures of the dying congress, an attempt was made to rush through special resolution giving employees "an extra month $ pay, but the house again blocked it. The President signed the general de fcieney bill at 4:10 o'clock, making certain the payment of the S1,S00,000 deficiency in the army pay, $150,000 hn GnftUChI1rc oo1ohra. tion next year, $350,000 for extension of the customs work, and scores of other important payments hinging on the passage of the bill. The last measure signed was bill disposing of lands on the Colville Indian reser- vation.
 "Just FizzIed Out"
 Just fzzled out" in the senate to use the words of one observer. A comparative handful of members oc- cupied their seats and a call for a quorum in either the house or senate would have forced a return of the em- barraSSing situation of last week
 A wild outburst of applause greet ed Speaker Clark's announcement Of adjournment as his gavel fell in the House. The floor immediately became animated scene, members bidding one another goodbye and shaking hands. | Old time political foes buried their differences and all feuds apparently were forgotten in the general leave taking. Further animation, and color were lent to the scene when the women focked down from the gal leries to join their husbands and fathers on the floor.
 The corridors were crowded with | tired but happy members, their fam flies and friends. Speaker Clark's | room was crowded with friends and | admirers. Just before he announced | adjournment Speaker Clark addressed | the house.
 Speakers Little Speech.
 AS our adjournment approaches" he said, the speaker desires to con- graduate the house on having reach ed an end of one of the longest and most laboroius ssionS on record. Congress has been actually in ses-' sion more days since Decembe than any congress that ever met. The speaker desires to thank all the members of the house on both sides of the big aisle, which separates us politically, but not as friends and patriots, for the uniform courtesy with which they have treated the speaker. 1 hope that we will all reach home safely, and will have en- joyable vacations, and will all return refreshed and invigorated, for our WOIh A0AI WlnI0T.
 Senators Were Sleepy.
 There were an even score of sen ators on the floor of the senate when the resolution for adjournment was put through. A recess was taken un- til 4:1O and then began the twenty minute wait. Secretary MacVeagh wandered about in the little group of senators making farewells and dis ; cussing the campaign. In the center aisle La Toilette and Senator Clapp were in deep discussion over the prospects for the Penrose-Roosevelt In his seat on the Democratic side Senator Ashurst yawned audibly. Senator Nelson, of woke the Senate for a moment to thank the presiding off cers for the session. Senators Gal [ finger and Bacon. Senatorial dignity lost itself for a moment as the little group in the chamber applauded the ] speech. Senator Shively secured the { adoption of a resolution thanking vice President Sherman for his conduct as presiding officer. Then, as the hands of the clock crawled to4: 30 Sen. Gallinger, in the chair arose and de ,lared the session adjourned sine die ]
