There were. some interesting fea tures'to mark 'the end, which fiinally came when there was less than a quo-rum-ih either House, as many senators i.nd representatives relying on the be lief that the,adj6ur)inient would come early in the day, made their arrange ments ftp lnf th'eafiernooh .and they did riolt remain for the closing scenes. An error tin the enrollment of the sundry civil appropriation bill caused quite a flurry about the capitol. It was found -by, Secretary Root, in look ing over the 'bill "'after it had been signed by the President, that it con tained an appropriation of $3,000,000 for. a,site. f or a public building in Washington, a provision which had been eliminated from two different bills.. After some perplexity the error was corrected by a joint resolution. Roosevelt at the Capitol. President Roosevelt came to the capitol about 1 o'clock in anticipation of an early adjournment, and when he found that there would be a de lay in order to secure the enrollment of the bills, which had to be passed, he took., lunch in the capitol and in the afternoon visited the Congression- j al library. Speaker Cannon rigidly carried out his intention of keeping back the ad journment resolution until the bills were all passed and signed, and the hour for the end was not known un til a short time before the gavel fell with the announcement by Vice Pres ident Fairbanks in the senate and the speaker in the House, that the . iirsi, session or ice Piny-mntn ijon gress stood adjourned without day. : Both Senate and House met early but a long recess was necessary in the , atternoon to enable the enrolling . ;ave no disposition to blink what clerks to catch up to the bills that : t1iere js 0f PX n olir social, indus had b enepassed. , nr HhVnl ijfP nf today, but The closing secenes in the Senate were formal and without interest.

JULY 5, 1906. f and the legislation enacted in the ses sion just closed, exceeds in impor tance for the best interests of all peo ple of the republic, the work of any session during my 30 years of public life. "I have not lime to make a com plete review of all the legislation. Suf fice it to say that the legislation cov ering the appropriations and author izing of public expenditures has been most carefu'Iy considered and wisely eno fitou. "The legislation commonly referr ed to as the rate legislation, the pure food biiis, the inspection feature of the agricultural bill, are all measures that affect the interests of all the people and while nothing perfect can he enacted, I am' satisfied thaht the opei'atious of these laws will demon strate their wisdom. "And I believe if nothing else had been accomplished than the enact ment of these three measures, they clone would be sufficient to make the first session of the Fifty-ninth Con gress a memorable one in the history of the republic." President Roosevelt on Work of Congress. - ' "Washington, - Special. President Roosevelt on the adjournment of Con gress, dictated a statement concern-' ing the work accomplished during the session just concluded. He says that the present Congress has done more substantive work along the lines of "real constructive statesmanship" than has been accomplished at any session of Congress with which the President is familiar. He says that men of genuine patriotism have a right to feel "a profound satisfac tion in the entire course of this Con gress. '. ' The ext of the President's state ment follows: ' In the session that just closed, the Congress has done more substantive work for good than any Consress has done at anv session since I became familiar with public affairs. The leg isiation has been along the lines of real constructive statesmanship of the most practical and efficient type, and bill after bill has been enacted into law which was of an importance so gr?at Uiat it is fair to say that the enactment of any one of them alone would have made the session memor able: such, for instance, as the rsil- road rate bill, the meat inspection meassVe, the pure food bill, the bill for free alcohol in the arts, the con sular reform bill. Panama canal leg islation, the joint statehood bill, and tiio nonr!ili75inn hill. T certainly it seems to me that the men ot gen uine patriotism who fenuinelv wish well to their country have the rieht to feel a profound sntisfaction in the pntirp course of this Congress.
