DISAPPOINTHENT IN THE BiG MATCH Only Two Ready to Start Instead of Three. GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS CANNES, March 4.—Mr. Henry Allen’s American-built yacht Dakotah won the Og- den Goelet and James Gordon Bennett challenge cup No. 2 today at the Mediter- ranean yachting carnival. The main event of today, the match for all yachts over 20 rating, was postponed, owing to the fact that only two of the pro- posed starters turned up, while the deed of gift provides that there must be three starters. The trophy is now held by the Prince of Wales cutter, Britannia, which, with the Corsin, was ready. In default of enjoying a race between the big cutters, the yachting committee here contented therselves with witness- ing the match for yachts exceeding 5, but not exceeding 20 rating. The conditions for this match were the same as for the challenge cup No. 1, presented by Messrs. Goelet and Bennett. The course was tri- angular, three times round, total distance, thirty miles; Union des Yachts Francais rules, measurement and time allowances. A money indemnity will be given the win- ner for her expenses out to Cannes and back to her home port. For thia event six yachts started amid bright sunshine and a good breeze. The French yachts under short canvas, but Mr. Henry Allen’s Dakotah defiantly car- ried her topsail. Dakotah, however, did rot make as good a start as her admirers hoped she would. The cause of this was that her sailing master was a little too clesely watching the crack French 10- rater, Sainot-Martial, owned by Viscomte de Rochechouard. ‘The yachts crossed the line as Ie . 8.

Then Dako- tah mad? an exhibition of the French boats and led Rolla III clearly at the weathe: buoy, which was rounded as fol- lows: Dakotah, 12h., 6m., 30s.; Rolla III, 12h., 9m.; Sainot-Martial, 12h., 10m., 30s. The racers completed the first round in the following time: Dakotah, 12h., 43m.; Bebelle, 12h., 45m., 10s.; Sainot-Marttal, 12h, 45m., 45s.; Rolla Ill, 12h., 45m., 47s. The times at the finish were: . M. S. Dakotah 2 8 58 Bebelle 2 13 19 Rolla .... 2.18 51 the las! Martial carried away her jib halliards, but she was already well beaten by the Ameri- can yacht. The wind" continued strong throughout the race. ‘The first heat of the match for the Rich- ard Winslow cup, value, 2,000 francs, for all yachts not exceeding 5-rating, was also decided. It was won by last year’s crack 5-rater, Delnaugh, owned by Mr. Balfour Neill of Belfast. The French crack Fleur de Lis, the property of Prince Henry of Bourbon, was second; Countesse was third. To Suppress Cuba’s Revolt. LONDON, March 4.—A dispatch to the Times from Madrid says it is probable that Marshal Martinez de Campos will shortly succeed Gen. Caileja as governor general of Cuba. A dispatch to the Standard from Madrid says that, following the precedent estab- lished in orgenizing the expedition to Me- lilla, Morocco, the council of ministers has decided to ask the cortes for an unlimited credit, to be used in suppressing the revolt in Cuba. The Cuban treasury will be call- ed upon to reimburse the government. The latest telegrams report that the troops in the province of Santiago de Cuba have routed 300 insurgents at Veguitas, killing eleven and capturing many. American Tourists in the East. CONSTANTINOPLE, March 4.— The steamship Augusta Victcria, with a large party of American excursionists on board, arrived here on Saturday.

It was the last formality be- fore (eared the important measure to the lent. At 9:45 the Vice President announced his signature to the deficiency bill. This was the last of the appropriation bills, and thus all of the great measures for car- Tying on the government were either at the Executive Mansion or on their way there. Little was done before 11 o’clock, unani- mous consent having been given to confine the business to conference agreements. Not knowing this Mr. Call of Florida made @ parting effort to launch a senatorial in- vestigation of the alleged lottery iniquities in Florida. Being informed by -Mr. Harris of the agreement, Mr. Call wanted to know what the Senate proposed to do at 11 o'clock. “It will do what it pleases,” said Mr. Harris with his usual explosiveness. “On_ the contrary,” retorted Mr. Call, “the Senate never does what it pleases, but what a few please.” ~*“It seldom does what the Senator from Florida pleases, but always what it pleas- es," added Mr. Harris. Then the Senators lapsed into inaction, waiting for the concluding hour to arrive. To Notify the President. At 10:15 Mr. Voorhees offered a resolu- tion, whith was adopted, for the appoint- ment of a joint committee of the two houses, two Senators and two members, to wait upon the President of the United States and inform him that Congress hav- ing completed its business was ready to adjourn. The Vice President named Mr. Vcorhees and Mr. Sherman as the Senate members of the committee. The Bering sea question made its appear- ance briefly when Mr. Gray (Del.) asked unanimous consent to take up thé bill al- ready passed by the House concerning Bering sea regulations, which he said were essential to the preservation of the fur seals. Mr. Morgan (Ala.), chairman of the com- mittee on foreign relations, was quickly on bis feet. “After great fatigue,” said he, “I sat up all night to get the opportunity to ebject to this bill if it made its appearance. It is a surrender of our government by the administration to Great Britain, without the slightest warrant of law or justice, and so I object.” ‘This ended the chances of the bill. Another phase of the same subject came up when Mr. Morgan asked the adoption of a pending agreement directing the commit- tee on foreign relations to inquire into the claims of Canadian sealers for the seizures of vessels. This time it was Mr. Gray's turn to object. Mr. Morgan on British Claims. Mr. Morgan thereupon made a pointed statement of the injustice and extrava- gance of the British demands, his service at the Paris court of award giving the statement special significance. He said the President and Secretary of State had urged the payment of $425,000, although the claim was unjustifiable. That feature of the question had been withdrawn from the consideration of the arbitration commission by the argument of Judge Blodgett, one of the United States representatives. As far as the question was considered ‘it was thown to be impossible that Great Britain could recover a dime—a penny. Under the strongest possible presentation of Great Britain's case there would not be more than $79,000. On one item the United States appraisers had estimated the claims of three ships at $12,000, and yet Great Britain had put in a claim of #$123,000. Under these circum- stances there should be an inquiry to clear up the false representation aimed at the Paris tribunal, and to establish the facts of this case. Mr. Morgan severely criti- cized the course of Great Britain in evad- ing and avoiding the real findings of the Paris tribunal for the protection of the seals. Great Britain had kept but one ship in those waters, and that ship had remain- ed outside of Bering sea, while the slaugh- ter of the seals continued. The United States maintained ten ships there, and their occupation was in watching British depre- dators. Mr. Gray pressed the objection. He said Mr. Morgan evidently feared that the pend- ing legislation on the sdbject was a reflec- tion on the Paris tribunal, of which he was a distinguished member. Mr. Gray pointed out that but one ship had been seized in recent days. The objection de- feated the Morgan resolution. Mr. Morgan asked leave to print a state- ment on the British claims, but it was objected to. A similar objection met_his effort to print the argument of Mr. E. J. Phelps of Vermont, as to the claims. Resolutions were adopted for a recess investigation of Senate chamber ventila- tion and for continuing the committee as- signments until December next. Mr. Blackburn sought to have a recess inquiry as to amending the Senate rules in the interest of expediting business, but there was objection. Compliment to the Vice President. The venerable Mr. Morrill of Vermont here presented a graceful compliment to the Vice President, who had temporarily left the chair, in the form of a resolution, thanking him for the ability, dignity and impartiality with which he had administer- ed the duties of presiding officer. There was loud and unanimous adoption of the resolution. Mr. Call again endeavored to secure his Florida lottery investigation, but Mr. Gor- man cut it off, suggesting the impropriety of inaugurating investigations when the control of the Senate was about to pass out of the hands of the democrats. An echo of the sugar investigation was heard in a resolution, which was adopted, for the printing of the digest of decisions and precedents concerning the rights of the Senate in dealing with recalcitrant wit- nesses. Mr. Ransom'’s Resignation. Mr. Ransom, the new minister to Mexico, presented his resignation from the printing committee, which is to sit during the re- cess. It was now 11:30 a.m., with only half an hour of life remaining for this Congress. There was great confusion on the floor as Senators sought recognition. The galleries had filled to overflowing, not only the public gallery, but those reserved for the diplomatic corps and for the ex- ecutive and cabinet households, having all their available space occupied. Mr. Call was again to the front with his lottery investigation, declaring vehemently that Mr. Gorman was seeking to suppress an inquiry desired by the religious element of the community. He Tlemanded a yea and nay vote on taking up the resolution. To the surprise of every one, including Mr. Call, the resolution was taken up—85 to 18, For a moment it was believed the resolution was adopted, and the presiding officer 86 announced. ‘The final vote was Interrupted by other pressing business, Mr. Call did not press the measure further. At 11:40, with only twenty minutes re- maining, a joint resolution was passed as to compensation of employes. A messenger dashed away with it in a race to get to the White House and secure the President's signature within twenty minutes. Thanks to Mr. Harris. The thanks of the Senate were express- ed in a resolution offered by Mr. Mander- son for the courtesy and impartiality with which Mr. Harris had served as president pro tem. of the Senate. Mr. Harris then took the chair and re- turned his thanks for the flattering resolu- tion. At 11:48 the last enrolled bill was re- ported to the Senate as signed by the Vice President, but it seemed impossible to get the executive signature on time. Mr. Cali vehemently insisted on a final vote on his Florida investigation. Mr. Aldrich declared that a special com- mittee, if appointed, would be for politi- cal purposes alone. He moved an amend- ment that the committee on judiciary make the investigation. Mr. Call excitedly denounced the state- ment of Mr. Aldrich concerning the politi- cal purposes of the inquiry as in the in- terest of the lottery companies and as ab- solutely false. Mr. Wolcott gave a parting shot to “junketing investigations,” which frittered away public money, nine out of ten, he declared, being to further the political for- tunes of some one. Mr. Wolcott denounced Mr. Call's statement of Mr. Aldrich’s mo- tives as contemptible. At this moment Mr. Voorhees and Mr. Sherman, the Senate committee to walt on the President, appeared at the door. “The committee has waited on the Pres- ident,” said Mr. Voorhees, “‘and has notified him that the work of Congress was at an end. The President states that he has no further communication to make, and he tenders his congratulations to Congrees on the conclusion of its labors.” The last words were hariyy. ati when a ripple of applause ran through the cham- ber. Then it spread to the galléries and grew to a laugh, and thea;to a gpnvuisive shout, in which Senato! spectators fairly shook with the hu us, stion of Mr. Voorhees’ closing wprds. »The Sen- ator preservs seat. ‘ The Vice Presidenth Addfess.

The Vice President, who had now taken the chair, rose as the clock pointed to two minutes of-32 for @ parting word to the Senate. He said: £ Senators: The hour has arrived fixed by law for the termination of this Congress. In the magnitude of the questions de- termined and the ability with which they have been discussed the Congress just clos- ing has been surpassed by few tHat have preceded it. Since its organization two Sen- ators have retired by resignation, two by the expiration of the term of their appoint- ment and four have been removed by the hand of death. This hour marks the close of the long and honorable terms of service of Senators who will be berne in grateful seemteence, by their associates who re- main. For the courtesy uniformly extended me and the resolutions just adopted my yvrati- tude cannot be measured by words. I would do violence to my feelings if I failed to express my thanks to the officers of this body for the fidelity with which they have discharged their important duties :nd for their assistance and courtesy to the pre- siding officer. With the fall of the gayel the great de- bates and the important legislation of the Fifty-third Congress pass to the domain of history. It only remains to make official announcement that the Senate stands ad- journed without day. As the last words were uttered by the Vice President, being timed to conclude at 12, he brought his gavel down sharply and declared the session at an end. ‘There was no demonstration and no ap- plause. Senators began bidding their adieus. The galleries were emptied of the large crowds and the Senate doors were locked that the packing of papers from the desks might begin, and to keep out the throngs in the corridors kept from crowd- ing on the floor. Groups of Senators remained in the cham- ber and clerks were busy finishing up the work of the session. The appearance of the chamber, the weary looks of those at work and the de- parture of wornout Senators was evidence that the end had come. THE HOUSE. his gravity and went to his At 8 o'clock this morning, when the House reconvened for its final session, after a four-hour recess, there were exactly eleven members on the floor—Messrs. Jones (Va.), Wells (Wis.), Goldzier (IIL), Payne «N. Y¥.), DeArmond and Dockery (Miss.), Meiklejohn (Neb.), Fielder (N. J.), Bank- head (Ala.), Clark (Mo.) and Warner @. ¥2. The Speaker was xt his post. All per- sons present looked tired and worn. In the public gallery opposite the Speak- er’s gallery lounged a half dozeh belated visitors, who had remained there all night, and in the private gallery a solitary female held the fort. She looked Ledraggled, but was evidently determined to sit it out. Otherwise the hall was deserted. Mr. Baker (N. H.) had the honor oftipassing the first bill of the final session. Jt was a bill to pay a war clawn of Maragret Ken- nedy, amounting to $4,000. The husband of the beneficiary has been a well-known figure ebout the Capitol for years. Every morning he was to be found at one of the doors, with his pockets full of apnies, dol- ing them out to members: and appealing for votes for his bill. Seats for Shop Girls, * Mr. Dockery was in the watch tower lccking after Uncle Sam’s strong box, but he allowed several bills to ‘go through by unanimcus consent, among them ‘one by Mr. Fielder of New Jersey, to,pay James Curran, postmaster at Hobeken,N.J., $6,500, the amount of government money stolen at @ recent rcbbery, and another. by (Mr. De Armond of Missouri, requiring all persons employing females in shops, stores of manu- factories in the District of Columbia to provide seats for the same when not em- ployed: One by one members*arrived, and the gal- leries began to fill. At 9 o’clock Chairman Seyers of the appropriation committee en- tered the hall from his committee room, Although he has been almost constantly at work for forty-eight hours, he was buoyant and light of step—overjoyed that the last appropriation bill had passed. . The Senate bill appropriating $30,000 for increasing the width of the channel across the bar of the Savannah river was passed. Mr. Grosvenor on Bimetallism. Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) created the first flurry by a brief but sharp speech, contend- ing that the republicans were the true friends of bimetallism. The repeal of the Sherman act two years ago, he said, had accomplished more than any other influ- ence to bring about the hopeful condition for silver we now observe the world over. He predicted great results from the pro- posed monetary conference. “When the apostle of the new dispensa- tion,” said he, “preached his doctrine in a city of the then civilized world there gath- ered in a small silver shop a group of curb- stone peddlers, who raised up their voices against the destructfon of the idol Diana. They sold the images of the idol on the street corners, and they resolved that if the doctrine of Christ prevailed their occu- pation would be gone. So with some of the alleged silver leaders here,” concluded Mr. Grosvenor. ‘They do not want this mone- tary conference to prevail, because if it does their occupation will be gone.” Mr. Grosvenor’s speech precipitated quite a stir among the silver men. They all rushed forward and appealed for recogni- tion. Mr. Bryan (Neb.) managed to get the floor, and indignantly resented the refiec- tions made by Mr. Pence yesterday upon the silver men who favored this confer- ence. He was for free silver, but he be- lieved it the height of folly for the United, States to refuse to join hands with other countries of the world, if they were ready and willing to join in the scheme for the remonetization of silver. Mr. Ringley’s Views. Mr. Dingley (Me.) agreed with Mr. Gros- venor, contending with European bimetal- lists that the single attempt of any coun- try—the United States, France or Germany —to open its mints to the free coinage of silver would swamp St and place it immedi- ately on a silver basis, Mr. Walker (Mass.), Wanger (Pa.) and Simpson (Kan.) crowded in a few words before the debate was cut off, and at 10 o'clock Mr. Dockery moved a recess until 11 o'clock. A Recess Taken. Mr. Simpson (Kan.) made the point of no quorum. The tellers took their places, as a matter of form, with the‘understanding that members should not véte. ar Meantime the visitors had-poured into the galleries until they were packed lke sar- dines in a box, and the doors weré bank- ed with an elbowing, struggling crowd of humanity. On the floor all was confusion. Members chatted and laughed and bid each other good bye; messengers and” pages scurried up and down the; aisles and the galleries buzzed. : : For twenty minutes this distracting babel of voices and, to the spectators in the gal- leries, utterly unintelligible proctedings, went on. Then Mr. Simpson surrendered and the recess was taken until 11 o’elock. Covfusion on the Floor and in the Galleries. 1 At 11 o'clock, when the House. recon- vened, the noise in the galleries and the confusion on the floor ceased. The final formalities connected with the expiration of Congress had yet to be gone through with. Speaker Crisp, looking fresh, despite the arduous work of the last few days, wielded the gavel with vigor. The usual committee,consisting of Messrs. Catchings (Miss.), Outhwaite (Ohio) and Reed (Me.), was appointed to join a similar committee from the Senate and inform the President that Congress was ready to ad- journ. The Speaker appointed Messrs. Rusk Qid.), Meredith (Va.) and Coffin (Md.) com- mittee on accounts to serve during the re- cess. Under the concurrent resolution providing for the participation of Congress in the dedi- cation of the Chickamauga Military Park the Speaker appointed as the representa- tives of other armies than those engaged at the battle of Chickamauga Messrs.Hatch @fo.), Culberson (Tex.), Reed (Me.), Sayers (fex.), Talbott (Md.), Sickles (N. ¥.), Wil- son (W. Va.), Mallory (Fia.), Boutelle (Me.), Alexander (N. C.). Henderson (iil.), Hooker (Miss.), Tarsney (Mo.), Henderson (Iowa), Bingham (Pa.), per (Mass.), Kiefer @Minn.), Harrison (Ala.), English (Cal.), Marshall (Va.), Van Voorhees (Ohio) and Lapham (R. 1) Two or three insignificant resolutions connected with the routine of the House were passed. Members realized that it was too late to push bills. They were simply waiting for the end to come. Another re- cess for fifteen minutes was taken. Ladies on the Floor. At 11:30 Mr. Hatch asked unanimous con- sent that for the remainder of the session the wives and families of members who were unable to gain admission to the gal- leries be allowed to come upon the floor of the House. ‘The Speaker replied that under the rules he could not submit the request. Mr. Hatch then created much amusement by submitting the request himself and hearing no objections he ordered the door- keepers to admit the ladies. The ladies crowded through the doors and down aisles, taking every seat that was vacant. The committee appointed to wait on the President with Mr. Catchings as spokesman then appeared, and informed the Speaker that the President no further communication to make to Con- gress. Mr. Cannon (ill.) then obtained recogni- tion and in a graceful speech offered a resolution of thanks to the Speaker. Such @ resolution usually comes from one of the leaders of the minority. Compliments to Speaker Crisp. “Mr. Speaker,” said Mr. Cannon, “in a government by the people a majority can only manifest its will through organization and co-operation. This necessarily be- comes a government through parties and begets two great party organizations,which from time to time change places from the majority party. Sharp antagonisms result between the parties and between individ- uals as they stand for parties and policies. In this, the greatest legislative body on earth, the Speaker for the time being is the greatest individual factor. He must, within proper bounds, subserve the inter- ests of his party and at the same time ac- cord to the minority the rights to which it is entitled. The Fifty-third Congress is about to pass into history. Before it ex- pires it is my privilege and pleasure, as one of the minority, to testify my appre- ciation of the fairness and courtesy of the Speaker of the House. I, therefore, send this resolution to the clerk’s desk, and ask that it be read, and move its adoption.” The resolution was as follows: “Resolved, That the thanks of the mem- bers of the House be extended to the Speaker of the House for the able, impar- tial and dignified manner inswhich he has presided over the deliberations of this House and performed the arduous duties of the chair.” A great burst of applause greeted the pre- sentation of Mr. Cannon’s resolution, and, “s soon as order was restored, Mr. Hatch of Missouri, who was in the chair, recog- nized Mr. Wilson, the chairman of the ‘ways and means committee. - Mr. Wilsen’s Remarks. “Responding on the spur of the moment,” said he, “I desire to say that we on this side are duly appreciative of the graceful and courteous action of the gentleman from Illinois. It is a pleasant thing that at the close of a Congress in which there has been so much political legislation and party an- tagonism we on both sides are able to tes- tify to the impartiality of the presiding officer. No position in the federal govern- ment requires, in my opinion, more ability —no officer is subjected to such pressure, or in the clash of party opinion to such temp- tation, to incline to his party friends; and it is a pleasant thing that we can all unite in the adoption of this resolution. (Ap- plause.) I wish to add one more word: One of the pleasantest things about service in this House, as I have found it, is that the sharpest political antagonisms do not make personal estrangements. I understand this is not the rule in other countries, where generally party differences beget personal antagonism>. “However ardent and zealous we may be as partisans, it is the worth of the man himself, and his own personal character that fixes his position in the respect and esteem of his fellow members. This is a happy augury for the future work of this body.” (Loud applause.) Mr. Simpson of Kansas, a representative of the third party, was then recognized and joined in the testimonial to the “kind- ness, goodness and fairness of the Speaker.” “It is,” said he, “but another illustration of the manliness of the American citizen that when placed in a position of honor and power he has respect for all shades of opinion, and treats all alike.” After a few words by Mr. Grosvenor on the same lines, Mr. Hatch, who was in the chair, called for a rising vote on the reso- lution. Every member on the floor save Mr. Reed of Maine and Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania arose to his feet, and Mr. Hatch declared the resolution unanimously adopted. Speaker Crisp’s Valedictory. A moment later, when Speaker Crisp ascended the rostrum, the applause and cheering were renewed, and it was fully a minute before the demonstration ceased. The Speaker bowed his acknowledgments, and after hearing Mr. Cannon's resolution read, he delivered his valedictory. “Representatives,” said he, “I know you will pardon me, if, before performing my last official act, I give some expression to what I feel, not only in regard to the reso- lution which you have just so kindly adopted, but in respect to the uniform kindness, courtesy and consideration with which I have been treated by every mem- ber of this body. Persons who are un- acquainted with the methods of procedure here have but little conception of the trials, the troubles and the difficulties of legislation in so large a body as this. “Tihs is the largest Congress that ever assembled in the United States, consisting of 356 members,besides the delegates. These gentlemen are representative men, They represent all the shades of thought and opinion in all parts of the grandest country under the sun. Naturally and indeed neces- sarily, under such conditions, there is at times great strife and struggle upon the floor for the maintenance of the particular views of individuals, and earnest effort for the constitution of particular measures. The difficulties of the presiding officer arise largely from this, that whereas there are perhaps 14,000 or 15,000 bills introduced in a Congress, in the nature of things but a small part of them can have consideration. If all the measures introduced could be considered and acted upon by the House, then the duties of the presiding officer and for the members would be rendered much less difficult; but when only a small portion of measures introduced can be considered, there is necessarily a struggle to deter- mine what those particular measures shall be, and from year to year this difficulty in- creases. The present occupant of the chair —and he feels that in making this expres- sion he but echoes the experience of every one of his predecessors—had no conception of the difficulties incident to the office of Speaker. That he has been enabled in any measure to discharge the duties of this of- fice to your satisfaction is most largely due to your kindness, to your consideration, to your constant help. We are now about to go to our respective homes. This is the third session of this Congress. ‘ “We have been in session continuously, longer, perhaps, than any Congress in the history of the government. “We have been surrounded by difficulties and trials, but I am sure I can say, not only for this body in the aggregate, but for each member of it, that however we may have failed, whatever our shortcom- ings may be, we have, according to our earnest convictions, endeavored to do that which was for the best interests of the whole American people. (Applause.) “Again I thank you, and when I say that I but freely express my feelings. Never in my life, no matter what may be its future, can I expect to attain to so high an office as that which I owe to your kindness, to your consideration, to your partiality. In laying down that office the greatest grati- fication that is afforded me is the evidence in this resolution that I have discharged the duties of the place, in some degree, at least, to the satisfaction of those gentle- men to whom I owe the office and to those gentlemen on the other side who have al- ways extended to me the utmost courtesy and kindness, and to each and every mem- ber of the House as he is now about to re- turn to his home I extend my heartfelt thanks and express the hope that he may be reunited with his family and his friends in peace and happiness.” (Loud and general applause.) The Adjournment at Last. A resolution was then adopted amid a furious demonstration of good will thank- ing Mr. Pearson of Ohio, chairman of the committee on enrolled bills, for the suc- cessful manner in which he had performed his arduous duties, after which the Speaker announced ‘the appointment of Messrs. Culberson (dem., Texas), Hitt (rep., Illinois) and himself (under the resolution adopted INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. PERSONAL .....- PIANOS AND ORGANS. POTOMAC RIVER BOA’ STORAGE ..........

Then the end came. The hands of the clock pointed to 12. “I now declare the Fifty-third session of the Fifty-third Congress,” said he, “‘ad- journed ‘without day.” g The silver mace was lifted from its malichite pedestal. -The flag above the House was lowered and amid cheers and cat calls from the galleries a rush was made for the doors. But from the press gallery came the sound of music. The newspaper correspondents were singing the doxology, “‘Praise God, from whom blessings flow.” ‘The spectators paused to listen and ap- plaud, and then as the chorus ceased, push- ed out, and in a few moments the hall was deserted. —_+-2+______ OMMISSIONS IN THE NAVAL BILL, No Food and Clothing for Extra En- sted Men—The Gun Shop. In the hurry of the action by the Senate on the naval appropriation bill and the con- currence of the House in that action a very necessary appropriation was omitted from the bill. The measure provided for 1,000 additional sailors in the navy to man the new ships completed and to be completed. The Senate failed, however, to make any provision for food and clothing for these men, thus rendering ineffective to all in- tents and purposes the increase in the en- listed force. It is claimed at the Capitol today that the action of the Senate in striking out the appropriation for ordnance and auxiliary armament will cause the Washington gun shop to practically cease operations by next September. —_—__-e-______ TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS. Mr. Dockery Snys It Will Not Be a Billion Dollar Congress. “It is impossible at this hour to accurate- ly state the total appropriations of this Congress,” said Mr. Dockery to a Star re- perter today, “but enough is known to war- rant the positive assurance that this will not be a billion doliar Congress, even in- cluding the additional charge upon the treasury arising out of the interest upon the new bonds. “Many of the appropriations should not have been made, but the fact that the total has been kept below the billion dollar limit is largely due to Chairman Sayers of the House appropriation committee. His ef- forts have been in the direction of real re- fcrm and entitle him to the commenda- tion of the taxpayers of the country.” eo ____ Two Railway Bills. The House today concurred in the Sen- ate amendment to the bill authorizing the Columbia railway to make its suburban extension by operating a trolley line from the present eastern terminus of the road along the Bladensburg road. The House also concurred in the amendment of the Senate to the bill authorizing the Ecking- ton and Soldiers’ Home railway to extend its Ine along Michigan avenue. —— Coost and Geodetic Field Force. The superintendent of the coast and geodetic survey has given public notice that the field force of the survey is re- cruited when necessary by the employment of young men, under the designation of aids, who may afterward be advanced to the’higher grade of assistants as vacancies occur. These aids are appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury, who also fixes their compensation, which, however, is not to exceed $000 per annum. In addition to possessing the required mental, physical and moral qualifications, these aids must be under twenty-three years of age at the time of appointment. It is provided that no person shall be appointed an aid from any state or territory already represented in the list of assistants and aids by three or more persons. eS Mr. Wilson to Take a Rest. Congressman William L. Wilson, who, after today, will be Postmaster General, stated to a Star reporter today that he proposes to take a month's rest before en- tering upon the duties of his new office. He will spend the time in Virginia seeking to recuperate his health. ————————— Civil Serviee Examinations. The civil service commission will hold an examination on the 16th instant to fill a vacancy in the position of carpenter in the sixth auditor’s office, Treasury Depart- ment, at a salary of $1,000 per annum. An examination will be held March 28 to fill a vacancy in the position of assistant in the office of experiment stations, De- partment of Agriculture, at a salary of $1,000 per annum. = °—_____ Studying the Nation’s' Capital. A company of interested and keen-mind- ed boys from the Masonic Home at Rich- mond are in Washington for a three-days’ visit. They are in charge of Mr. Nesbitt, superintendent of the home, and are stop- ping at the National Hotel. Today a Ma- sonic committee, consisting of Alison Nailor, jr., Dr. Allen Brown and A, W. Kelly, accompanied the party to the Capi- tol to see the sights there and witness the dying gasps of an expiring Congress. To- night they will attend the theater and to- morrow visit the Corcoran Art Gallery, navy yard, National Museum and other places of interest. ——.___.
