Washington, Aug. 26.-Sobered by the embarrassments of Saturdays all night session of fllibusters and dis agreements, congress adjusted its diff ferences today, invited President Taft up to the capitol once more and at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon wrote, "finis, after the proceedings of the second session Of the sixty-second con gress
 The end was marked with a return of harmony Senator LaFollette, de- manding action on the Penrose cam paign fund resolution, found all oppo- sition smoothed away in front Of hlm. and the resolution passed almost with out discussion.
 Senators Chamberlain, Martin, Swanson and Culberson, after fighting bitterly for the payment of the state claims" embodied in the general de- ficiency bill, yielded to the urgings of their colleagues and permitted the senate to yield to the demands of the house, and strike these claims from the bill In return for this conces- sion. however, they received the promise of support next winter, when the claims again will be pressed for payment.
 With these old claims, amounting to $60O,000 went the extra month $" pay for congressional employees, which the senate demanded and the house refus- ed 10 give. In the last half hour of the session, while President Taft waited in his special room to sign the measures of the dying congress, an attempt was made to rush through a special resolution giving the employees the extra month" but the house again blocked 1t.
 The president signed the general deficiency bill at 40 o'clock, making certain the payment of the $l,S00, 600 deficiency in army pay, the $150,000 for the Gettysburg memorial celebra- ton next year, the $350.000 for exten- sion of customs work and scores of other important payments that hinged on the passage of the bill.

The floor immediately became an animated scene, members bidding each other goodbye and shaking hands Old-time political foes buried all differences and all feuds apparent ly were forgotten in the general leave taking.
 Further animation and color was lent to the scene when the women Hooked down from the galleries to join husbands and fathers on the floor. The corridors were crowded with tired but happy members and their families and friends and Speaker Clark's room was crowded with friends and admirers. Just before he an nounced the adjournment, Speaker Clark addressed the house.
 As the hour of adjournment ap- proaches,n he said, "the speaker de sires to congratulate the house on having reached the end of one of the longest and most laborious sessions on record. Congress has been actu- ally in session more days since De cember than any congress that has ever sat. The speaker desires to thank all members of the house on both sides of the big aisle which sep arates us politically, but not as friends or patriots, for the uniform courtesy with which they have treated the speaker. 1 hope that we will all reach home safely, all have enjoyable vaca tions and will all return, refreshed and inyigorated, for our work nex winter"
