These were the only, Ilowers in the. House. Some members ; ere disposed to have fun over the. incident, in view of the fact that Mr. j Gudger did not have a seat in this !

It also provided continuing contracts amount ing to $20,000.00ft -additional, which were carried in the sumiyy oivtl appropria tion bill of 'this session. The Increase In the total expenditures authorized by this Congress "us, therefore, made up largely by three Items, the appro priations for the canal, postal service and river and harbor .works, and he was convinced that the increases were appropriated rot only by the Republi cans, but l y the Democratic members of both houses of Congress. Upo" motlo'i of Mr. Ralley, the Sen ate. -by a vote of 41, to . took up a bill amending, the- river and harbor bill. This formally, displaced the Phil ippine tariff measure. Mr. Hoar, by unanimous consent. spoke upon the bill lhat had Just been officially decl.-irod Tiead. The point made, he said, "was .that the Senate, the executive, the Jlouse; of Repre sentatives and the t'Ublic arc not fit to govern the destinies "of a people R.000 miles away who .have no vole In the government.' "It Is the first great object lesson," said he. "the wretchedness, the iniquity of what the American people dht ' f wo Years ago In regard to these people." Mr. Hour criticised Congress for go ing away on a nlre-months . vacation without providing td for the desti- tut people of the Philippine islands. He said If there were a similar con- dltion elsewhere the humanity ' and wealth of the American people .would be taxed to their utmost inlaid of the aufferlng. l." Mr. Lodge, who has had the "measure in charge, spoke upon the urgency for the tariff legislation. He pointed but the many times he had attempted to have the measure called p, and how he was unsuccessful. He, said -he . did not agree wjth Mr. Hoar: in ' the' view- that the American people. aye not able to deal with the great problem In the east. "I believe they are thoroughly able to deal with it as thcyidealt with greater and mightier "problems before," said Mr. Lodge. " - ' . Mr. Mason was recognized.- He gave voice to remarks that kept .the! cham ber in a ripple of.'laughter in a' lee Jure which, he said, 'was .the last' one he would be able. "to deliver vto his "young and misguided friends," Mr. Cailey interrupted and' said it was apparent that. Mr. Mason's object was to talk the Sabine ' lake bill to. dmith. and. he ..would relieve him of the necessity of making tills kind of valedictory.' This Mr. Mason denied, claiming the floor In his 'own right. lie said that he had never enlisted under the ban ner of filibustering. He declared he had never taken advantage of the weak and childish rules of the Senate, and he resented the charge , that even . In be made to revise his speech before he made it. ''The last speech I am to make in this chamber," he added, "but through no fault' of my own. I assure you." An interruption came in the form of the cutomary .resolution f or appoint ment of a committee to wal upon the president. Messrs. Allison and.Jone of Arkansas were selected, j 1 Mr. Mason, in his fnrewell speech. ' was in his happiest vein and in his rarest good humor. "The statehood bill," he said, "hns gone floating .out on the Isthmian canal. Th dring bill is -marching with "the rest its own majority to transact business." j - He then urjred that the rules of the Senate be amended and callod attention o the ancient snuff boxes in the Sen- ate. There was not more snuff on the "Republican side than on the Demo - cratic side. Jt pos witn tne ruies, ne Fald. because it is a part of the dignity. of the Senat te. anu, ne aa.va amia laughter, "like he rules, the snuff boxes are as unchangeable as the star." Mr. Mason said a race of people never has.ben born that can' govern another people without their consent and have peace. "Why not be honest with each other and say we have made a mistake?" asked Mr. Mason. Under the law of cornpensa ion, he said, we are settling for that mistake every hour. While, Mr. Mason was speaking Sec retaries Hay, Root, lltchcoek, rWil son and Cortelyou, Attorney General Knox and Postmaster General Payne entered the .hamler and occupied sea s on the floor. Mr. Allison reported that the special committee had waited on the president who had said that he had no coramunt- cation to make and said, Mr" Allison added, "If i to say that I congratulate the two - houes of Congress upon the admirably work performed during this . session. As Mr. Mason had Just been arraign ing, the Senate for its failure to pass necessary legislation a titter, went around the Senate which broke out into laughter in which everybody joined- At 11:55 o'clock, five mliuUes before adjournment. Mr; Bailey -was recogy nized. and said that, as strong as the temptation was to repb to,Mr. Mason he prefered to have a vote on his biJU Instantly Mr. Mason was up. H6"rs marked that he had "left Out the most Important part of his remarks' which caused loud laughter. ". y, Mr. Bailey made the point that hav ing spoken once on the measure he could not again take the floor. ' He was overuled by the chair. . . ;' "Then," said Mr. Dailey, "I will at least force him to speak this -session out." Mr. Mason retorted: "The sena tor from Texas could force me.'. to no imore pleasant duty. Like the Senator from Texas, nothing pleases me more than to hear the sound of my .own voice." Again there was an uproar of laughter. " Mr. Cockrell wanted Mr. Mason to yield to hini to present a resolution of thanks to Mr. Frye. the president pro tern, when Mr. Bailey interrupted to say that under the rule of the Sen ate a senator cannot yield without uanimous consent. "The chair is of a" different opinion;' ouickly replied Mr. Pcttus, who waf ! temporarily occupying the chair. ' ".. . With only a minute or two. remaining before adjournment.

The decks were clear for the final adjournment at noon when the House reconvened at 30 o' clock todajv The storm which culmi nated at 4 o'clock this morning when Mr. Cannon delivered his scathing ar raignment of the methods of the Senate during the consideration of he confer ence report on the genera! deficiency appropriation bill had passed and ev erything promised a serene and peace ful ending. t "Although members had little more than time to go home for baths, fresh Aldrichh,en and breakfast in the interim since adjournment shortly before daylight, they were back in "their places for the close. The leaders on both-sides were the .earliest arrivals. As is usual the scenes in connection' 'with the closing attracted crowds. They- besieged the portals of the House even before the doors were open, and when the seats in the galleries were rilled they stood Jin long lines outside "waiting patiently jfor. a chance of admittance.

Mr. Cannon's appearance was the sig nal for continued applause from Repub licans and many Democrats. The speaker retired to his room in the rear of the hall and Mr. Cannon announced that the House had refused a call of the House by a vote of 17 to 134. Mr. Payne of New York, the Republi can floor leader, offered a resolution of thanks to Speaker Henderson for his services as speaker, it having become known that the Democrats would, deny him this usual eourtes5 As the reading was .concluded Mr. Cochran of Missouri was on his feet demanding recognition, but the chair ruled that Mr. Paine was entitled to the floor.

The majority leader faced the minor ity as he announced that he considered it a high honro and privilege to be per- JJIitLdi J unci UIJO a coui ut.,wti. iiuuiei out that it was not the first time that such a resolution had come from the majority side. He cited the instances of Clay, Polk, Banks and the late Speaker Reed. As he concluded with a glowing tribute to Speaker Henderson, the whole Republican side broke into hearty applause. But there was dead silence on the Democratic side. When Mr. Payne demande the pre vious question and Speaker Pro Tern. Cannon put the question, there was a second of oppresive silervie. All eyes were on the Democratic side. From the rear row Mr. Cochran arose quickly, and In a loud voice cried, "division," artd then for the "yeas and nays." From the Republican side came a hiss.' , ""The gentleman from Missouri de mands the yeas and nays." announced the chair. "As many as are in favor of ordering the yeas and nays will rise j and stand until they are counted." In all 21-.Derr.oerats arose, the chair counted, and, amid Intense silence, an nounced that 21 had seconded the de- ordar the yeas and nays," he announc ed: "not a sufficient number, and the veas and nays are refused." A wave of applause swept over the Republican side and was taken up by the galler ies as the announcement was made. On the adoption of the resolution Mr. Cochran again demanded a record vote. Xbis time only 17 Democrats joined in the demand, and the announcement that the resolution was adoptd was hailed with redoubled applause.
