Mr. Morgan thereupon made a pointed statement of the Injustice and extravaganc of the British demands, his service at the Parls court of awards giving the statement special significance. He said the president and secretary of state had urged the pay- ment of $425,000, although the claim was un Justifiable Mr. Gray pressed the objection. He sald Mr. Morgan evidently feared that the pend ing leglslation on the subject was a reflection on the Paris tribunal, of which he was a distinguished member.

All the appropriation bills were out of the way w n the house convened at 8 o'clock this morning. The session dragged slowly away until 11 o'clock, the only feature being a rather brisk, but brief, debate on the re- sults to follow from the projected monetary conf The usual committee was sent to the president to inform him that congress was ready to adjourn, and the other formali- tios of the end of a congress were gono through with, The concluding minutes were in the nature 0 The best of feoling prevailed. The resolution of thanks to the speaker, which usually came from a member of the majority, was offered today by Mr. Cannon In a very graceful speech, bear- ing testimony to the high appreciation In which the presiding officer was held by the republican minority. Mr. Wilson of West Virginia responded in behalf of the majority and Mr. Simpson of Kansas, representing the populists, joined in the expression of thanks | for the courtesies and kindness extended by the speaker. All the kindly sentiments were applauded, and when Mr. Crisp himself as- cended the rostrum to return thanks and de- liver his parting words the demonstration was terrific. At the conclusion of his speech, just before declaring the house adjourned without day, he appointed Mr. Culberson of Texas, Mr. Hitt of Illinois and himself as members of the monetary commission. His own appointment was by resolution. As the Lifty-third congress came to an end the doxology was sung by the correspondents in the press gallery. WAR CLAIMS PAID OFF. Mr. Baker, republican of New Hampshire, had the honor of passing the first bill of the final session. It was a bill to pay a war claim to Margaret Kennedy, amounting to $4,000. The husband of the beneficiary had been a well known figure about the capitol for years. Every morning lie was to be found at one of the doors with his pockets full of > | apples, dealing them out to members and ap- pealing for votes for his bill. Mr. Dockery was in the watch tower look- ® after Uncle Sam's strong box, but he allowed several bills to go through by 1| unanimous consent. One by one the mem- bers arrivea and the galleries began to fill. At 9 o'clock Chairman Sayers of the ap- propriations committee entercd the hall. Al- though he has been almost constantly at I\\m"k for forty-eight hours, he was buoyant and of light step, overjoyed that the last .| appropriation bill had passed. Mr. Grosvenor, republican of Ohlo, caused the first flurry by a sharp specch, contending on nce. v | that the republicans were the true friends of The vice president bimetallism. | two years The repeal of the Sherman act ago, he sald, had accomplish>d more than any other influence to bring about the hopeful condition for silver we now ob- serve the whele world over. He predicted great results from the proposed monetary conference, Mr. Grosvenor's speech precipitated quite a stir among the silver men. They all rushed forward and appealed for recognition. Mr. 1| Bryan, democrat of Nebraska, managed to - | get the floor and indignantly resented the re- flection made by Mr. Pence yesterday upon the ellver men who favored this conference. He was for free silver, but he believed it the height of folly for the United States to join hands with other covntries of the world, even it they were ready and willing to join in the scheme for the remonetization of silver. Mr. Dingley, republican of Maine, agreed with Mr. Grosvenor, contending with Euro- pean bimetallists that the single attempt of any country—United States, France or Ger- many—to open its mints to the free coinage of silyer would swamp it and place it imme- diately*on a silver basis. Walker, republican of Massachusetts, Wanger, republican of Pennsylvania, and Simpson, populist of Kansas, 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. Mr. Simpson made the point of no quorum. Meantime the visitors had poured into the galleries until they were packed. On the floor all was confusion. Members chatted and laughed and bid each other goodby. Finally Mr. Simpson surrendered and a recess was taken until 11 o'clock. At 11 o'clock, when the house reconvened, the noise In the galleries and the confusion on the floor ceased. SENT WORD TO GROVER. The usual committee, consisting of Messrs. Catchings of Mississippl, Outhwaite of Ohio and Reed of Maine, was appointed to join ¢ | a similar committee from the senate and in- form the president that congress was ready to adjourn. The speaker appointed Rusk of 1| Maryland, Meredith of Virginia and Cofiin of Maryland on the committee of accounts to_serve during the recess. “| Under the concurrent resolution providing for the participation of congress In the dedi- catlon of the Chickamaugua Military park, the speaker appointed, as the representatives of other armies than those engaged at the battle of Chickamaugua, Messrs. Hateh, Cul- berson of Texas, Reed of Malne, Sayers of Texas, Talbot of Maryland, Sickies of New + | York, Wilson of West Virginia, Mallory of i | Florlda, Boutelle of Malue, Alexander of North Carolina, Menderson of _Ilinois, Hooker of Mississippi, Tarsney of Missour, Henderson of lowa, Bingham of Pennsyl- vania, Draper of Massachusetts, Kiefer of }| Minnesota, Harrison of Alabama, English of 1 | California, Marshal of Virginia, Van Voor- his of Olo, and Lapham of Rhode Island. Another recess for fifteen minutes was taken. At 11:30 Mr. Hatch asked unanimous con gent that for the remainder of the session the wives and families of membors who were unable to gain admission to the gallerles, | be allowed on the floor of the house. The speaker replied that under the rules he could uot submit the request. M. Hateh then created much amusement by submitting the question himself and hearing 1o objection he ordered the doors opened. Tho ladies crowded through the doors and down the aisles, taking every scat unoceu pled. ke committe appointed to walt upon the | president, with Mr. Catchings as spokesman, ! | then appeared and informed the speaker that 1| the president had no further communication - | to make to congress J JOE CANNON'S SURPRISE. | Mr. Cannon, republican of lliinols, then . | obtained the recognition and in a graceful t | specch moved a resolution of thanks to the speaker. Such a resolution usually comes i | from one of the leaders of the majority, f e resolution was as follows: 1| “Rosolved, That the thanks of the mem- bers of the house be extended to the speaker of the houso for the able, Impartial and dig- nified manner in which he has presided over the deliberations of this houso and per- formed the arduous dutles of the chalr. A burst of applause greeiod the presenta- 3| tion of Mr. Cannon's resclution, and as soon as order was restored Mr. Hatch of Missouri, who was in the chalr, recognized Mr. Wil- son, the chairman of the ways and means committe Ll “Respol Al 1 ing on the spur of the moment," said he, I desire to suy that we on this side are duly appreciative of the graceful and courteous action of the gentleman from Illi- nois. It is a pleasant tiing that at the cluse 11 of a congress at which there has been so ¢ | much political legislation and party antag- cnism, we on both sides are able to testify {to the impartiality of the presiding officer. One of the pleasantest things about service in this house, as I have found it, ls that the sharpest political antagonisms do not make personal estrangements. I understand that this 1 not the rule In other countries, where - | generally party differouces Loget persoual antagonisms.

After a few worde by Mr. Grosvenot in the same line, Mr. Hatch, who was in the chair, called for a rising vote on the resolution. Bvery member on the floor, save Mr. Reed of Maine and Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, aross and Mr. Hatch declared the resolution unanimously adopted. A moment later when Speaker Orisp ascended the rostrum the ap- plause and cheering was renewed. The speaker bowed his acknowledgements, an after hearing Mr. Cannon's resolution read, he delivered his valedictory. ““Representatives,” sald he, “I know you will pardon me if before performing my iast official act T will give some expression to what 1 feel, not only in regard to the resolution which you have just adopted, but in respes to the uniform kindness, courtesy and consid- eration with which I have been treated by every member of this body CRISP'S FAREWELL. “Thes difficulties of the presiding arise largely from this, that whereas are perhaps 14,000 or 15,000 bills in a congress, in the nature of things but a small part of them can have consideration If all the measures introduced could be con- sidered and acted upsn by the house then the duties of the presiding officer and of members would be rendered much less difficult, but whero only a small portion of the measures introduced can bo considered there s neces- sarily a struggle to determine what those par- ticular measures shall be, and from year to year thia difficulty increases. The present occupant of the chair—and he feels that in making this expression he but echoes the experience of nearly every one of his prede- cessors—had no concepticn of the difficulties incldent to the cfice of speaker. ‘Again I thank you, and I say that I but feebly oxpress my feelings. Never in my life, no matter what may be its future, can 1 expect to attain so high an office as that which 1 owe to your kindness, to your con- sideration, to your partiality. In laying down that office the greatest gratification that could b afforded me is the evidence In this resolution that I have discharged the duties of tho place, in some degree at least, to the satisfaction of those gentlemen to whom 1 owa the office and to those gentlemen on the other side who have always extended to me the utmost courtesy and kindness.” A resolution was then adopted toward a further demonstration of good will thanking Mr. Pearson of Ohio, chairman of the com- mifteo on enrolled bills, for the successful manner in which he had performed his ardu- ous duties, after which the speaker announced the appointment of Messrs. Culberson, demo- crat of Texas, Hitt, republican of Iliinols and himself (under the resolution adopted last night) as members of the military com- mission. ~ Then the end came. The hands of the clock pointed to 12, “I now declare the third session of the Fifty-third congress,” said the speaker, “ad- Journed without day.” The siiver mace was lifted from its mala- chito pedestal, the flag above the house was lowered and amid cheers and cat calls from tho galleries a rush was made for the doors. But from the press gallery came the sound of musie. The newspaper correspondents wera singing the doxology, “Praise God, from Whom_ All Blessings Flow.” The spectators paused to listen and applaud, end then as tho chorus ceased pushed out, and in a few minutes the hall was deserted. officer there MAKING 1T BINDING ON LOTTE Last Mensure Signed by the Presid Thought Wilt Strangle the Busik WASHINGTON, March 4.—The last meas- ure signed by the president today, and one in which a great deal of interest has been taken, ia the “anti-lottery bill”” The measure is a brief one of but four sections, the most important of which is the first. This speci- fies that “any person who shall cause to be brought within the United States from abroad for the purpose of disposing of the same, or deposited in or carried by the mails of the United States or carried from. one etate to another in the United States, any paper, certificate or instrument purporting to be or represent a-ticket, chance, share or interest in or dependent upon the event of a lottery, so-called gift, or similar enterprise, offering prizes dependent upon lottery chance, or shall cause any advertisement of such lottery, so-called gift, concert or similar enterprise offering prizes dependent upon lot or chance, to be brought inic th, United States or de- posited in or carried by the mails of the United States, or transferred from one state to another in the same, shall be punishable in the first offense by imprisonment for no more than two years or by a fine of no more than $1,000, or both, and in the second and after offenses by such imprisonment only.” The other sections of the bill apply to the act, all provisions of existing laws for the supression of the lottery traffic or the traflic in or circulation of obscene books and extend the powers conferred in section 2, chapter 98, of the statute of 1890, to ali letters or matters sent by mail.

MAKING ROOM FOR THELR FRIENDS. Amendment Which Gave Uutgolng Con- gressmon thyn Appolntment of Cadets. WASHINGTON, March 4.—By the shrewd move of including a little amendment in the sundry civil appropriation bill at a late moment, eighteen members who will come to tho mext congress will find they have no appointments of cadets to the naval acad- emy at their disposal. As soon as it was known that the appropriation bill had been signed, including, as it did, the provision that mem- bers of the Fifty-third congress whose dis- tricts were not represented at the academy, might flll the vacancles, there was a rush of papers to the Navy department. Time was an object for it was necessary for the out- going members to make their nominations before the hour of noon when they ceased to hold office. Secretary Herbert recelved the nominations presented before 12 o'clock, numbering elghteen, and the' appointments will be made out as soon as they can be prepared for signature.

WASHINGTON, March 4.—The supreme court met today after a recess of four weeks with all the justices except Mr. Jackson in attendance. A long list of opinions was dis- posed of rapidly. Many of them decided cases of great importance. The interesting question whether the conviction of a person by means of & decoy letter is legal was passed upon G the case of one Grimme, con- victed in MisSous for dealing in obscene pletures, He y‘uficrcd @ letter from a post- office fnspector? wHich resulted in his convie- tion, and he appealed against the means by which it was secuyred.

Pratt and Monroe Salisbury of Cal- ifornla, to recover excessive payments made to them for carrying the mails, the action of the court below in dismissiog the case was reversed. The conviction of Harry F. Batchelor, for- merly president of the Stockgrowers' Na- | tional bank of Miles City, Mont,, for embez- zlement, by the eircult court for the district of Montana, was reversed on the ground that the indictment was defective. Tho case of Bannon & Mullkey against the state of Oregon, the plaintiffs having been convicted, with twenty-five others, of conspiring to bring Chinese laborers into the state, contrary to the law, was decided. The chief allegation of the plaintifts in error was that the Indictment failed to aver that the act was felonfously done, but the court held this was not good and sus. tained the lower court in its conviction.

WASHINGTON, March 4.—The meeting of members of the American Bimetallic league, which has been in progress here during the last two weeks, will soon Issue an address to the American people asking thelr support for A new party having for the principal planks of its platform the free and unlimited coin- age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and de- manding that the money of the country shall bo issued by the government ftself. The ad- dress will inaugurate a mew feature in American politics by doing away with the old system of nominating conventions, will call upon the people themselves to nominate candidates for the office of president and vice president by petition. It is argued that delegates to nominating conventions do not always represent the views and wishes of the people sending them, and it has therefore been decided that the people themselves, in their own names, shall for once name the candidate. The address will also place in nomination Joseph C. Sibley of Franklin, Pa., whose term os representative in congress from the Twenty-sixth district expired today. Mr. Sibley declined to run for re-election last fall, preferring to retire to private life, and it was only Wt the urgent and persistent solicitation of the members of the conference that he finally consented to head the move- ment for a new silver party. The league has had in conference here during the last two weeks leading silver men from twenty-four states and territories, and the decision to ask the voters of the country to lay aside their alleglanco to the old parties until the great fight for silver has been won was not arrived at without much deliberation and consulta- tion with the silver leaders In all sections of the country.
