LRGN CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON, WASHINGTON, April 28. — Congress | ended at 2 o'clock this afternoon amid | | unusual scenes of felicitation in the | Senate and most , unusual scenes of good feeling in the House. Mr. Roosevelt and other members of ent’s family occupied seats v during the closing hours. |in the gall Congress leaves the Government fac- | ing & deficit of more than $77,000,000 at | the end of the fiscal year 1905. Accord- {ing to the figures given out by Chair- man Hemenway of the Appropriations | Committee, the regular and permanent | anpual appropriations for - the fiscal year ending in June, 1905, made by the present session of Congress amount to | $781,674,629. The total estimated rev- | enue for the fiscal year 1905 is $704,- | 472,080. | Chajrman Hemenway finds some con- solation in his statement that, after all, the Government leaves unexpended at least 5 per cent of each year's appro- priations. Allowing this to be true and ting it from the grand total, the treasury would still face a deficit of mwore than $38,000,000. Hemenway says that on the whole the present session has practiced laudable economy, while Representative Livingston, the leading minority member of the Appropriations { Committee, calls it “wasteful extrava- gance,” | The appropriations of the session were the subject of a spirited debate in the Senate, in which Senator Gor- man, the leader of the minority, said the figures were amazing and that it would be impossible to continue such extravagance without Increasing the taxes. Gorman attributed a large part of the increasing expenditures to the ambition of the President to make the | United States a great world power. Senators Allison and Aldrich took is- sue with Gorman and said the Govern- ment was economically administered, and while there was a rapid increase of Government business the grand to- tal of expenditures this year was about the same as last. Chairman Hemenway takes the hope- ful view that there will be no deficit because the defficiency appropriations are not charges upon the revenues of the next fiscal year, and the require- ments of the sinking fund ill only be met out of the surplus revenues for the year. It is on this basis that he figures out the actual cost of the Gov- ernment’s operations for the next year ,272,786. Hemenway in summing the work of Congress, says one im- ug portant piece of legislation stands out prominently to its credit, viz., the Pan- ama canal, and that it more than com- pensates for all the slight acts of omission alleged by the Democrats. It is extremely improbable that any Panama canal bond there will be 5 » durd during the next fiscal year. It 1 into the next fiscal year e any vy expenditures on ac- of the canal will be required, and 1gh strong pressure will be to bear upon the administra- | to issue the bonds so as to In- the supply available for bank m. there will be great reluct- increase “ the interest on the the Government. e | DEMONSTRATION IN HOUSE. | althe brought tion crease | Members Testify to the Courtesy and | Impartiality of Speaker Cannon. WASHINGTON, April —The clos- | ing to-day of the second session of the House of the Fifty-eighth Congress | was made notable by the demonstra- tion which was evoked by a resolution offered by Willlams, the minority leader, testifying to the courtesy and impartial manner in which Speaker Cannon had presided over the House. The resolution was not' of the per- v kind, but was expressive of kind feeling which men in the e of all parties entertained toward In a graceful speech the Speaker | declared his appreciation of the reso- lution. Many conference reports were axreedl to on bills which had been in dispute | between the two houses. The only debate of any importance was on the bill providing for the restoration to | the naval academy of three cadets who had been dismissed for hazing, the | House voting against it. The members, after the Speaker an- nounced the final adjournment, joined in singing patriotic songs and slowly filed out of the hall after shaking hands with the Speaker and bidding | him good-by. The time was within flve minutes of | the hour set for adjournment when Representative Williams of Mississippi, | the minority leader, amid impressive silence, was recognized to present a | resolution expressive of the apprecia- | tign of the House for the fair and im- partial manner in which the Speaker | had presided over that body. He pre- faced the resolution with the state- | it that in the exercise of a per- sonal though not parliamentary priv- flege, he desired to move the adoption of the resolution. “That resolution I will now read,” he said, and he read as follows, Rich- ardson of Tennessee having in the meantime taken the chair: H Ived, That the House of Representatives ns ite thanks to its Speaker, lilirols, for the fair, impa ner in which he has ory ons, and for the stur nial good humor whic! him, and which have induced the House itself, in a degrec d, in imitation of him, sterling American charac- mutual [ Williams, following the reading, which was punctuated with applause, | said that it was a great thing to be a | Speaker of the House of Commons of thé American republic, but that it was | a greater thing not to permit the ef- fect of promotion to that place, one of | the most exalted in the world, to turn | one’s head in the slightest degree or to deflect one from the course hitherto pursued of being a plain American citi- | zen, with extraordinary common sense and a remarkable fund of that most characteristic of all American quali- | ties, genial humor. This utterance provoked great ap- | plause from both sides of the House and the galleries. Williams convulsed { the House by referring to a conversa- | tion he once had with the Speaker, in | | the course of which he said: | *“I will always think that you are fair, as I believe you will be.” }e Speaker, he said, replled: John, 1 am going to be as fair as 1 can consistently with the exigencies of American politics.” | Williams declared that the Speaker | did himself injustice when he put that | 1imitation on his statement, “but,” said | Williams, “it was characteristic of the frankness and candor of the man to put in the limitation.” ‘Williams then moved the adoption of the resolution and that a committee be appointed to “bring him in.” There was | ty evident that « ASSED a bill putting into effect the Cuban reciprocity treaty. Ratified the Panama canal treaty. Passed a bill providing for the government of the Panama canal zone. Z Ratified the Chinese commercial treaty providing for two open ports in Manchuria.

Richardson selected Papne, Hergen- way and Williams to escort the Speak- er into the hall. In a few moments the committee escorted the Speaker down; the center aisle, and pandemonium reigned. Democrats and Republicans allke shrieked and applauded, the oc- cupants of the galleries joining. When the Speaker had mounted the rostrum Willlams, standing by Speaker Cannon’s side, read him the resolution which had been adopted. The Speaker was visibly affected, and-as he began to address the House he barely spoke above a whisper. However, he soon recovered his composure and speaking in a distinct voice said: I would be Jess than human if I did not volce my thanks to the members of the House for the kind resolution adopted unanimously by the House. It touches me more than I can express. For almost thirty vears I M been a member of this body for good or ill The future will have to determine if the pres- ent has not decided it. 1 have seen many Congresses begin and close, and during that service I have been proud and the pride has increased from one Congress to another to be & member of this body that represents directly eighty millions of people. It goes without say- ing that in a republic all men do not agree as to proper policles, but the majority and minority, after due consideration from time to time, have written the will of the people upon the statute books. In the nature of things the contests on the hustings and in the hall of the House are spirited and earnest. 1 would be less than human aid I not say that while for the time | being 1 co-operate with the majority after all the minority has a function to perform almost in importance to the function of the and it is a matter of gratification the close of this second session of the Fiffy-elghth Congress. but as 1 recollect at the close of the various Con- gresses of which 1 have been a member, that when the heat of contest has died away’thege ever remains respect on each side for the other, for the efforts of intelligent. patriotic, brave men, who represent their constituents according to their respective judgments. May this continue, and it” will continue so s, After all, when rut and fret a brief an say both to the well done for the and glory of the equal majority, hour on this stage, majority and minority “it endurance, the prosperity republic.”” I wieh each member of this House a eafe journey to his home: good health until the next session of Congress, when, after hav- | ing come In touch with the people, he returns | ready for & renewal of his work in the public interest ‘ There remains nothing to do but, in pursu- ance of the concurrent resolution of the House and Senate. to declare the second session of the Fifty-eighth Congress adjourned without day. The ovation of the Speaker as he brought down his gavel exactly at 2:10 o’'clock will be long remembered as one of the greatest demonstrations of re- gard ever witnessed in the House of Representatives.

WASHINGTON, April 28.—President Roosevelt arrived at the Capitol to- day at 10:25 a. m. to attend to his of- ficial duties incident to the adjourn- ment of Congress. The last of the important bills to re- celve the signature of the President were the river and harber and Panama canal measures. All of the surveys which the Senate provided for in the river and harbor bill were stricken out in conference. In one of them the Pres- ident had a personal interest, as it was a survey near the President’s home at | Oyster Bay. When he noted the fact that among the other surveys it had| been eliminated he signed the bill and remarked, laughingly, that it was pret- he had no iInfluence with the present administration. At 11:25 o'clock the President affixed his signature to the last of the general supply measures, the postoffice appro- priation bill. Prior to that time he had signed the sundry civil, the general de- ficiency and the military academy bills, in addition to scores of measures of minor importance. At 12:45 p. m. the joint committee of the two branches of Congress, consist- ing of Senators Hale and Cockrell and Representatives Payne, Hemenway and Willlams, appointed to notify the President that the Congress was ready to adjourn called upon President Roosevelt in his room at the Capitol. The President informed the committee that he had no further communications to make to the Congress. The commit- tee remained with the President less than five minutes. R OPPOSES GENERAL BOARD.

The oc- currence was devoid of unusual Incl<| dent and the final close of the session | | was but slightly different from the end | | of an ordinary day’s sitting. The work | of the session had been concluded be- fore the final word was said, so that neither rush nor confusion marked the end. . The Senate began its day's work at 10:30 a. m., but the greater part of the time was devoted to a political debate, participated in on the Republican side by Messrs. Allison and Aldrich and on the Democratic side by Messrs. Gor- man and Culberson.
