O'Brien, at one time Commissioner of Navigation, but personal interests compelled him to decline It. . 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. As one man the representatives arose and sang "America," the occu pants of the galleries Joining in. Speak er Cannon took a position :near-tJJe lob by door on the Republican side'and the members filed past and bade him good by, all the while singing "He's a Jolly Good Fellow," with a refrain "So Say We. All of Us." to the tune of "Amer ica," closing with "God be with you till we meet again." There remains nothing to Mo but. in pursu ance of the concurrent renolutlon of the House and Senate, to declare the second session of the- Fifty-eighth Congress adjourned without day. In the nature of things the contests on the hustings and In the hall of the House are spirited and earnest.

May this continue, and It will continue so long as the republic lasts.

In a few moments the committee escorted the Speaker down the • center aisle, and pandemonium reigned. Democrats and Republicans alike shrieked and applauded, the oc cupants of the galleries Joining. When the Speaker had mounted the rostrum Williams, 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 less than human If I did not voice 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 years I have been a member of this body for good or 111. The future will have to determine If the pres ent has not decided It. I 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 a member of this body that represents directly eighty millions of people.

The res- 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 falc as I believe you will be." jjtie Speaker, he said, replied: '^John, I am going to be as fair as I can consistently with the exigencies of American politics." \ Williams declared that the Speaker did himself injustice when he put that limitation 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 waa 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 the 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. "That resolution I will now read," he said, and he read as follows, Rich ardson of Tennessee having in the meantime taken the chair: Resolved, That the House of Represents lives returns its thanks to Us Speaker. Hon. J. G. Cannon or Illinois, for the fair. Impartial and able manner In which he has Dres!ded over Us deliberations, and for the sturdy comrnon scnte and genial good humor which have been displayed by him, and which have Induced the members of tile House Itself, in a degree almost unprcedc-ntpd. In Imitation of him, to display the ume sterling American charac teristics In their deliberations and mutual dealings. Many conference reports were agreed to on bills which had been in dispute between the two bouses. 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 five 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 tion 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 ment that in the exercise of a per sonal though not parliamentary priv ilege, he desired "to move the adoption of the resolution. WASHINGTON. April The clos ing to-day of the second session of the House of the Fifty-eighth Congress was mad» notable by the demonstra tion which was evoked by a resolution offered by "Williams, 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 functory kind, but was expressive of the kind feeling which men in the House of all parties entertained toward him. In a graceful speech the Speaker declared his appreciation of the reso lution. Impartiality of Speaker Cannon. Members Testify to the Courtesy and DEMONSTRATION* IN HOUSE. Chairman Hemenwey takes the hope ful view that there will be no deficit because the deficiency appropriations are not charges upon the revenues of the next fiscal year, and the require ments of the sinking fund jvill 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 at $698,272,786. Hemenway In summing up the work of Congress, says one im 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 bv the Democrats. It is extremely improbable that there will be any Panama canal bond issue during the next fiscal year. It will be well into the next fiscal year before any heavy expenditures on ac count of the canal will be required, and although strong pressure will be brought to bear upon the administra tion to Issue the bonds so as to In crease the supply available for bank circulation, there will be great reluct ance to increase • the interest on the debt of the Government. 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 the President's family occupied seats In the gallery during the closing hours. Congress leaves the Government fac ing a deficit of more than 577,000,000 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 annual appropriations for • the fiscal year ending in June, 1905, made by the present session of Congress amount to J761.574.629. The total estimated rev enue for the fiscal year 1905 is 5704, 472,060. Chairman 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 deducting it from the grand total, the treasury would still face a deficit of roore than $25,000,000. Hemenway says that on the whole the present session -hfcs 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. WASHINGTON, April # 28.— With a brief announcement and a sharp rap of his gavel, President pro tem "Frye ad journed the Senate sine die at 2 p. m. to-day, the hour fixed by resolution of the two houses of Congress. The oc currence was /devoid of unusual inci 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 Culberspn. The . discussion was based on -a statement by Allison ot the appropriations of the sessions, comparing the figures for this , year with those of other years and other administrations. ¦ The President and his Cabinet occu pied the President's Capitol office room during a part of the debate, and some of. the President's advisers were among the most interested listeners to the criticisms and defense of their chief. Mrs. Roosevelt and other members of the President's family occupied seats in the gallery toward the close of the session and they, too, found entertain ment In the proceedings. .The only important acts of legisla tion during: the day were the presenta tion and acceptance of re ports on the Panama "canal Govern ment bill and emergency river and harbor appropriations bills. The galleries were not greatly crowd ed at any time during the day. The SenAte. at 1:26 p. m., went into executive session and when at 1:52 the doors were reopened Senator Gorman offered the usual resolution expressive of the thanks of the Senate to the President pro tem. Senator Frye. The resolution orevalled unanimously. Senator Frye responded briefly and was loudly applauded. As the ap plause.' died away the hands of the clock on the walls of the chamber in dicated the hour fixed for adjournment had arrived and promptly at 2 o'clock the chair announced the termination of the. session, saying: "The hour of 2 o'clock having' arrived, the chair de clares the Senate adjourned sine die."
