THE CLOSING SCENES OP THE FIl'TY
lillST CONGRESS.
Ilosnnnns, llnllclujnlis ami T0ple.1l Holies
Grctt Hie Statesmen After Speaker
Jtecil Had Pronnnnced the Vnledlc
toiy Much Important Work Ddiie
In the Closing Hours.
Notwithstanding tho all-night sessions
of the two llou.sc.1 there wero no unseemly
scenes. This morning both Senators and
Representatives had a wont and weary
look. TliclloorawcrollUcn.il with torn
jiaper, nnd things Rcnerally wore 11 ills
bevelled oppcarauce.
Tlio galleries of both Hoiws, ctceittlio
diplomatic, Wero early crowded to suf
focation, livery seat was taken, tlio steps
ill tlio aisles were occupied nucl the door
xvnys were filled, tlio overflow extending
hojiclefsly out Into tho corridors, As was
expected tho chief Interest was centered
In the House, wlicre, if nuv where, a
scene was expected. Finally tlio tlmo
came, Speaker Heed vneated the chair
and retired to his roton, Mr. lliirrows
assuming tlio gavel, Mr. McKlnley, tho
Republican leader ou the lloor, then
offered n resolution thanking the Speaker
lu much tbo usual terms. Instantly Mr.
Mills was on his feet nnd hissed out a de
mand for tho yons and nays. Tlio resolu
tion was carried by a strict party vole.
For the third tlmoin tlio history of Con
gress the minority refused unanimously
to acquiesce in tho vote of thanks ten
dered tho Speaker. Tho lirst of these wns
when, In' lHOljthlrty-llvo votes wero re
corded against thanking Theodore Sedg
wick, the Federal Speaker, elected in 1700.
This was the HOuso mado memorable by
the Jcffcrson-lturr Presidential contest.
Tho other Speaker who failed to receivo a
unanimous vote of thanks was James K.
I'oiu, and 110 nftcrward oecatnc President.
No 'doubt Mr. Itecd will prefcr'to regard
the latter a a proper preccucnt.
Tlia result was greeted bv Republican
cheers, nnd -when Spcnkcr Itecd returned
from his room nnd resumed the chair
these -wero renewed tilth ten-fold vigor.
The Republicans wnved hats unci hand
kerchiefs, pdumled their desks and
yelled. '
Mr. Mills called out that they were
Uttering the death cry. From this timer
on, until tlio Speaker declared tho House
adjourned without day, nffalrs progressed
with n semblance of order.
Flowers wero on tlio desks of Ilcpre
(eiilutlves Scull of Pennsylvania and
Peters of Kansas, whllo Mr. Vnux'srdesk
held n lingo pyramidal. oflnir of flowers.
After his voteninigoboiuiiict was brought
down the nMcniid placed on thoSpeaker's
desk amidst Republican cheers.
Hardly had tlio Speaker's gavel fallen
befrire tbeio began 11 scene tho ciiual of
which wns iicvcr'w'itnciscd In tho Home.
J i.c llcpublicnus ehccreil anil the I lemo
crats yelled. Thcflattorlllled tho air with
Hying paper,, bills and documents until it
looked llko an aggregated snow storm.
Then Music, heavenly maid, entered the
urecii. I'nilor tlio lend of "IIMioii" Per
kins and "Furincr" Wade the Republicans
sang "Marching Through (Joorgla," the
chorus, "Tramp, tramp, etc., bcinggiven
with great unction. As tlio second staua
was readied. the Democrats broke into
cheers.
As tho last words of the song died out
"iW. Coleman lifted up his bass voice to
the tuno "America," and tho patriotic
words "My Country, 'TIs of Theo" rang
iiirougn inc ntiu, uemucraisauei every
body joining in.
The new simper men, not to be left,
stnlck up the "Doxology," When tho
members caught on to vv hat it was, they
ihecrcd, especially tho Dcmocrnts.
Tlio press gang followed with "Listen
to My Tnloof Woe,''utiildgrc.itlaugliter.
They closed their part of the concert with
"For He's n Jolly (lood Fellow," ren
dering it "Reed's n Jolly Good Fellow,"
lly lids time the Hoor wns packed with
men and women, who had crowded lu
when the doors wero thrown open, and
they nil joined in, until tho volume of
bound nearly ral-ed,tlie roof.
When the singing ended there were
more cheers. Indeed, tbo scenes attend
ing tbo death ot tho Housoof tho Fifty
llrs Congress wei e as lively ns nny w hlch
ever characterized nil Irish wnkc.
Tho Houso had lived a remarkably,
lively life, unci In lis death It did not de
part from Its established chnractcf.
Over nt tbo north end of tho Capitol,
ivliciotboScnutonnd dignity hold forth,
the scenes were of 11 more seclato chnr
neier. 'llio only thing out of tbo common was
the biennial turning back' tlio hands. of
tlio clock by vencrablo Doorkeeper lias
sett. This, however, is as much 11 part of
the closlngccremonlcs every two years ns
tho Presiding Ofllcer's speech, unci only
causes laughter.
