63RG CONGRESS
 |S IN HISTORY
Alaska Measure Was One of the Last To Receive Attention of Con-
 gress Before Closing.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The Sixty-third congress passed into his- tory at noon today after an all-night session, the clock having been turned back until fifteen minutes past noon today in order to finish some delayed business. One ot the last measures acted upon was the passage of a measure extending government aid to an Alaskan agricultural college.
 There are a number of measures which failed to receive attention dur ing the closing hours of the session. The measure providing for granting increased legislative powers to the Philippines; the water-power, mineral land and other national conservation measures remained undisposed of as was also the Indian bills.
 Many members of both houses have already left the city in their anxiety to get away from the scene of the struggles in which they have been en- gagged.
