impatient at any delay. The other day
he went into his bank In the Times

said with a shade of sarcasm, lines are

the cashier replied: How about lines In

CONGRESS ENDS
Two Supply Bills and Other Big
Measures Fail.
RUsHAT THE CLOSE
No Extra Session At Least Till oe
tober-President At Capitol To
Sign Last Legislative
Fruits,

Washington.-After two years Of al
most. continuous session the Sixty
third Congress, which revised the tariff
and the currency system of the nation,
supplemented the trust laws, created
an income tax and demonstrated the
first popular election of United States
Senators, ended at noon March 4.
When gavels 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 Postof1ce
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 we're 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.
! In the closing hours, President VIII.
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
er 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 a 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 sucf
provisions by points of order. The
Postofice bill, which failed to pass
contained more new legislation thar
any other.
