SKTY-TRIRD
CONGRESS ENDS
Two Supply Bills and Other Big
Measures Fail.
A RUSH AT THE CLOSE
No Extra Session At Least Till o.
tober-Presiden At Capitol To
Sign Last Legislative
Fruits.

Washlngton.-After two years of al
most continuous session the Sixty
third Congress, which revised the tari..
and the currency system of the nation,
supplemented the trust laws, created
an income tax and demonstrated the
first popular election of United States
Senator's, ended at noon March 4.
When gaveIs fell in the House and
Senate signalling adjournment. they
marked the close of half of President
Wilson's administration, the first under
domination of the Democratic party
since 1895. Strenuous scenes enlivened
the fading hours, devoted chiefly to
completing the appropriations for sub
sistence of the Government.
Important measures, the Postotfice
and Indian Supply bills, failed in the
final Legislative crush after desperate
efforts had been made to save them.
In the emergency occasioned by their
failure joint resolutions were passed
and signed by the President continu
ing in force appropriations for the
present year.
While tired Senators and Represen.
tatives were devoting their energies
to final essentials, President Wilson
spent more than an hour in his room
at the Capital, surrounded by members
of his Cabinet, signing the last fruits
OF legislation.
n tho nInctnu p-OciJny,4
son signed the Seaman's bill, the neu.
trality resolution empowering him to
prevent ships leaving American ports
with supplies for belligerent warships,
promoted Colonel Goethals to be a
major-general for his services as build
err OF the Panama Canal and gave
promotions to other officers associated
with the work.
! Many important Bills Failed.
| Besides the Government Ship Pur.
chase bill, important measures which
were forced over until another time in
cluded the Philippine enlarged Self.
Government bill, rural credit legisla.
ton, the bill to prohibit interstate com.
merce in goods manufactured by child
labor, and the conservation bills. A
resolution which contemplated an in,
vestigation into Senatorial campaigns
| in Pennsylvania, Illinois and other
States. and which had been recon-
mended by Senate committee, also
| failed.
Very little general Legislation is car
ried in the appropriation bills. Much
was proposed, but most of the meas
ures were practically cleared of such
/ provisions by points Of order The
Postofiice bill. which failed to pass,
contained more new legislation than
any other.

British Suffer Heavy Loss.

Berlin, via London.-The War Office
gave out the following statement:
South of Ypres we inflicted con-
siderable losses on the British with
artillery fire. In the positions il the
Lorette hills which we took away from
the French a counter-attack was re-
pulsed.
in the Champagne district the
French continued attacks north Of LIE
Mesnil All their attacks were re-
pulsed and our positions were main
tanned.
Attacks on our positions at Vau-
Quois, east of the Argonne. and in the
Forest OF Consenvoye. east of the
Meuse, failed. All attempts to dispute
our possessions of ground captured in
the last few days in the district OF
Badonvillers failed. Several night at
tacks also were unsuccessful and over
LOCO dead Frenchmen are lying before
our entanglements."

GERMAN LOSS PUT AT s,ooo,ooo
Paris Makes This Estimate From
Casualties In Ten Reaiments.

Paris.-An Official note issued by
the French press bureau declares that
the German losses since the beginning
of hostilities in killed, wounded, sick
and prisoners reaches the enormous
total of 100000 men. This calcula-
ton is based on the known casualties
in 10 German regiments
Analysis Of the German losses dur
ing I'VE months in 10 regiments taken
from army corps on both the eastern
and western German fronts shows a
total Of 1921 officers and soldiers;
that is. an average per regiment of 725
monthly" says the note.
Applying this percentage Of losses to
the entire German Army, including the
landwehr. landstru:a. new formations
and marines, the deduction is made
that the total German losses during
the seven months of the war must ex-
coed 100000.
