WASHINGTON. July 1. The House,
which adjourned last night at 11 o'clock,
met at 10 o'clock this .morning, with all
the Indications pointing to a final ad
journment at the end of today's session,
Despite the early hour and the -lateness
of the session last night, there was a large
attendance upon the floor. The galleries
were also well filled.
Immediately after the approval of the
journal, a scramble for recognition began.
Members with small bills of interest to
their constituency were exceedingly aiut
Jous to secure action upon them, and a
dozen of them were almost constantly on
their feet clamoring for opportunity to
call them up. Owing to the fact that but
one item in one appropriation bill re
mained in dispute between the two houses,
many members were fortunate.
A bill was passed to resurvey certain
townships in San Diego. Cal. The Senate
hill to promote the efficiency of the Ma
rine Hospital service and change Its name
to the Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service, was passed under suspension of
the rules. A bill was passed authorizing
the creation of a quartermaster's ware
house at Omaha, Neb., at a cost not to ex
ceed 576,000.
The first obstacle was reached during
the reading of a Senate bill to reduce the
number of appraisers at Philadelphia and
Boston. 'Sulzer (Dem. N. Y.) attempted
to speak upon a resolution he had .intro
duced, relative to charges In connection
"with the transport service, and when ob
jection was made by Hull (Rep. la.) he
retaliated by making the point of no
quorum. The appraiser bill was passed.
A joint resolution was adopted appropri
ating $5000 each for monuments to the
memory of General Francis Noah and
General William Lee Davidson, of North
Carolina, as authorized by resolutions of
the Continental Congress.
Agreement on Naval Bill.
At this point Foss presented an agree
ment on the naval appropriation bill. There
was a ripple of applause as Foss an
nounced the agreement, and Tayler (Rep.
O), who followed, received hearty ap--plause
when he declared that a fight had
been won, and that the experiment of
building a first-class battle-ship, would
now be tried. Meyer (Dem. La.) con
gratulated the House upon the victory
that had been achieved. Fitzgerald (Dem.
N. Y.) also congratulated the Houe on
having vindicated Its dignity. Rixey
(Dem. Va.) contended that the Democrats
were responsible for the victory. Lesslcr
(Rep. N. T.) said If the New York navy
yard was selected for the place In which
to build the battle-ship, the experiment
to be tried would be a succeEs. Grosve
nor (Rep. O.) also felicitated the House
upon the result of the contest. "The
House," said he, "has demonstrated that
Ic has some power to force the Senate to
leld." The report then was adopted
without division, amid much applause.
Bills were passed to appropriate $5000
each for bronze equestrian statues of
Count Pulaski and Baron Steuben, the
Revolutionary heroes, said statues to be
erected In this city: to grant certain lands
to the South Platte Canal & Reservoir
Company, and the Senate bill for the sup
pression of train-robbery.
At 2.30 P. M, Payne, chairman of the
ways and means committee, presented the
resolution for sine die adjournment.
Sulzer (Dem. N. Y.) moved io recommit
with Instructions to substitute July 3 for
July 1. His motion was lost, 51 to JLW, and
though Sulzer loudly demanded an oppor
tunity to be heard, the adjournment reso
lution, without debate, was carried, 127
to 76.
Several conference reports on belated
bills then were hurried through. A bill to
make Confederate soldiers who enlisted in
the Union Army previous to January 1,
1S65, pensionable, aroused much debate,
but finally was passed, 97 to 19.
Payne (Rep. N. Y.), Cannon (Rep. HI.)
and Richardson (Dem. Tenn.) were named
as a committee to inform the President
that Congress was ready to adjourn. ,
Dalzell. chairman of the special com
mittee to Investigate the facts in connec
tion with the purchase of the Danish West
Indies, then presented hli report, which
was ordered printed and referred to the
House calendar. Cousins (Rep. la.) moved
to take up the report.
Pending that motion, Underwood (Dem.
JilaJ) moved that the House take a recess
for one hour. It was defeated, 22 to 10L"
Cousins then, in humorous fashion, de
scribed the pretentious -claims of Christ
mas In the matter of the Danish West
Indies sale. He reviewed the testimony
to snow that the whole story of Christ
mas having attempted to bribe Congress
was utterly ridiculous.
Richardson, the Democratic leader re-1
plying briefly, said that when the cecret
report of Captain Christmas to the Dan
ish Government containing the statements
as to the alleged bribery of members was
called to his Attention on affidavit as to
its authenticity, he (Richardson) consid
ered it worthy of investigation. The tes
timony, however, had disposed of the
-charges, he said. Everybody was acquit
ted, and the report, which was unanimous,
so stated.
Richardson was still speaking as the
time approached for the final adjourn
ment. Meantime the galleries had filled
.to overflowing, and every member in the
city was in his seat.
The Final Adjournment.
At 5:2S Payne, on behalf of the commit
tee to notify the President, reported that
the President had no further communica
tion to make. The Speaker then arose,
and with evidence of much feeling, ad
dressed the House as follows:
"Gentlemen of the House of Representa
tives: Many of us met at the beginning
of this session as friends; manyof us at
the commencement of this session met as
strangers. I believe that we shall all part,
when the moment for adjournment comes,
as friends.
"The prayer -which I made to this House
at the commencement of this Congress,
that the House would help to- sustain the
chair In enforcing the rules, has never
been forgotten. You 'havefbeen -each and
all of you sustaining forces' in 'afdlnxTma 1
in the discharge of my duty. For that,
W friends, I return my grateful acknowl
edgements. I am proud to say that no
House of Representatives since the Cdn
tiltution was adopted has in the same
length of time, done the same amount of
work lhat this House has done, and you
have done your work like men earnest
and honest ss you all have been In carry
ing "your convictions, so far as possible,
'into execution. You have all been faith
ful and untiring, and in the 20 years of
ray service I have never seen so many
friends in the closing days of a session
as I now witness.
"Now, as we are about to part, I wish
you all a- safe return to your homes, and
that you may all come back to the next
session rested and refreshed; and I ask no
more than that you may be as earnest
then as you have been In the session Just
closed.
"And now, gentlemen. In pursuance of
the concurrent resolution of the two
houses, 'I declare this session of the 57th
Congress adjourned sine die."
The gavel fell amid the -wild applause
that followed. Before It had subsided, a
group of Republicans on the -west side of
the hall, led by Landls and Hamilton, be-

gan to sing. "My Country, 'Tis of Thee."
Immediately the refrain was caught up
ail over the hall, and In the galleries. Then
the "Doxolcgy" followed, in which the
correspondents in the press gallery joined.
As the Speaker descended from the chair,
the air changed to "For He's a Jolly
Good Fellow," and the members swarmed
about him to say good-bye. Other songs
followed, "Way Down Upon the Suwanee
River" and. finally "Dixie," as the Speaker
and General Hooker, the one-armed Con
federate veteran, embraced warmly. Then
the jubilation was kept up for almost
half an hour.

The Senate late In the day confirmed all
the foregoing nominations. The Senate
rejected the nominations of Dallas Her
bert and William H. Harvey, to be Pqst
masters at Commerce and Belton, Tex.,
respectively. Both rejections were based
on adverse recommendations made by the
committee on postoffices, due to protests
against the appointments.
An unusually large number of nomina
tions failed to be acted upon, Including
man) nominations to minor offices both
In the Army and Navy. A number of
nominees to postoffices failed of confirma
tion, and this fate befell several whose
names were sent In last December soon
after the beginning of the session. Un
less reappointed, they will not be able to
hold their places, now that Congress has
adjourned.

REVIEW OF COLONIALS
PRINCE OF WALES REPRESENTED
KING, AND QUEEN WAS PRESENT.

a Cigar a Day.
LONDON, July 1. The reappearance to
day of Queen Alexandra as a participant
In a public ceremony practically marks
the end of the period of anxiety caused by
IClng Edwardys condition. Her presence
at the review of the Colonial troops by
the Prince of Wales greatly Increased pub
lic enthusiasm over what In Itself was a
picturesque and Interesting event. Up
ward of 2500 Colonials were brought In
from the various encampbents and
marched through great crowds down Con
stitution Hill, which was lined with

troops, past Buckingham Palace, which
for a week has been the center of such
supreme Interest, and along the Mall to
the Horse Guards parade.
The contingent present represented all
parts of the British Empire, with the ex
ception of India, whose troops will be
separately reviewed tomorrow. The Ca
nadian detachment numbered COO men, and
was the largest body on parade. The
smallest detachment consisted of three na
tives of the Island of San Lucia. Borneo,
Ceylon, FIJI, the West Indies generally,
Cyprus, the Gold Coast, Nigeria, Uganda
and other remote colonics were represent
ed by native troops In clothing of strik
ing variety, while straight from the fight
ing line In South Africa were details from
the Canadian Scouts. Kitchener's Horse
and contingents from a number of local
levies raised during the war.
The Queen's appearance while on her
way from the Palace to the Horse Guards
was greeted with cheers, which Increased
In strength as the spectators noticed that
the ordeal of the past week had but
little affected Her Majesty's health and
noted the absence of any signs of anxiety
as she cheerily acknowledged the congrat
ulations of the .public at the uninterrupted
progress of tile King. The Queen was
seated in an open carriage, beside her
being the Princess of Wales and seated
opposite were the Princess Victoria and
Princess Charles of Denmark. Several
carriages containing the Duke of Cam
bridge, the Duchess of Connaught and
others, followed.
The Prince of Wales was accompanied
by the Crown Prince of Denmark. Prince
Frederick, Prince Charles of Denmark and
their suites, and by the foreign attaches,
including Major E, B. Cassatt, the United
States Military Attache. The Duke of
Connaught and Lord Roberts, the Commander-in-Chief,
surrounded by brilliant
staffs, rode behind the Prince of Wales
party. The long lines of troops complete
ly filled the Horse Guards' parade, and
tbelr variegated uniforms stood out In
vivid contrast with the trees in the park.
Thousands of spectators filled the stands
or stood behind the police. Among the
interested oq-lookcrs was Prince "Eddy,"
and the other children of the Prince and
Princess of Wales. All the Colonial Pre
miers, Indian Princes and other guests 6t
the nation were present, to say nothing
of people and members of the House of
commons without end." The troops marched
quickly past the Queen's carriage, the
Prince of Wales receiving the salute. The
Queen then drove slowly In and out of the
lines and the Prince of Wales closely in
spected the troops and dismounted and
conferred medals and crosses on those
who had merited the honors, shaking
hands with the recipients of the Victoria
cross.
Then followed the most picturesque fea
ture of the day. The Duke of Connaught,
at the head of the troops and facing the
Prince of Wales, In clear tones, gave the
command: "The parade will give three
cheers for the King," and himself started
the "Hip, hip." In a second the refrain
was taken up, and there arose cheers
such as London seldom hears, the sound
of which must have reached almost to
the royal sickroom, half a mile away.
A man in the Canadian ranks
shouted, "And a tiger, at which
the troops and crowd once more yelled
themselves hoarse. It was the first oc
casion since the announcement of the
King's illness that the general public had
an opportunity to vent their feelings, and
the people took advantage of it.
After this the Life Guards rode up to
the Queen's carriage to the accompani
ment of "God Save the King," and cheers,
not unmlngled with tears of the women,
many of whom were deeply affected. The
Queen drove slowly past the troops to
Buckingham Palace, constantly bowing
and smiling acknowledgements of the
people's greetings: the Prince of Wales
'and the other" members of the royal fam-
Hy followed, the Colonials reformed -in
columns and. 'amidst the hearty cheers
from the crowds, returned to their en
campments. The steady progress of King Edward Is
fully maintained and His Majesty takes
nourishment with keen enjoyment. He is
allowed a light cigar a day. He evinced
.the greatest Interest in the arrangement
for today0 review and he was eager that
the people should be In some way com
pensated for their disappointment because
of the postponement of the coronation.
The King received Queen Alexandra's re
port of the review with much pleasure.
r and he was Immensely pleased later in
the day when the sound of the cheers from
the troops, given for the Queen as they
marched past the palace, penetrated the
sick-room. The King's grandchildren are
allowed a brief daily visit to his bedside,
while a scarcely less welcome and even
more enthusiastic visitor to His Majesty
Is his pet Irish terrier. "Jack," which Is

Another Wrnnjcle Over the Settle--xnent
of the Indemnity.
PEKIN. July 1 The Taotil of Shanghai
has notified the Bankers' Comml83ion
that China refuses to pay the July in
stallment of the Indemnity except at the
rate of exchange prevailing April 1. 1S01.
The foreign Ministers consider that tho
Taotal's declaration is the resuit of the
announcement of the United States Min
ister, Mr. Conger, to the Chinese, that
the Unlter States sustains China's conten
tion and Is willing to accept payment on
the basis mentioned. But the Ministers
are confident that China will accept the
decision of the majority of the Ministers
when she is convinced that the United
States is her only supporter. Some of tho
Ministers Insist that the policy of the
United States is unreasonable dnd In
direct opposition to the terms of the
protocol. They assert that Prlnco Chlng,
head of the Foreign Office, and other
Chlnjse officials, before learning that
China had the support of the United
States in the matter, admitted that their
arguments were rather a plea for mercy
than a demand for Justice.
Great Britain proposes to permit silver
payment of the indemnity until 1910. on
account of China's great loss owing to
the depreciation of the price of silver.
The Ministers of the other powers regard
the proposal as being a further complica
tion, and as being equivalent to an ad
mission of China's contentions.
Effect of Innistence of the Powers.
WASHINGTON, July L The State De
partment has not yet been notified of the
Chinese refusal to pay the July Indem
nity, which 13 the first payment of money
to become due from China to the powers
since the signing of the Pekin agreement.
The Department regrets being placed In
a position of taking issue with the pow
ers on this question, which is so import
ant that grave doubt Js entertained as to
the probable effect of an Insistence upon
the European contention as affecting
Chinas integrity. It Is nevertheless the
case that a careful reading of the pro
ceedings of the meeting of Ministers at
Pekirf. which led to the agreement taken,
in connection with the text of that docu
ment, has convinced the Department that
it -was the unquestionable purpose of thfc
Ministers, and that purpose was clearly
set out In their proceedings, to permit
China to pay the Indemnity at the rate of
interest as it existed on the date of sign
ing, and It Is clear that what appears to
be a contradictory clause in the agree
ment was nothing more or less than an
Inadvertence. However, the United
States has not gone to the length of re
fusing to accept its payment on the same
barfs as the other powers, namely, at the
current rate of exchange. All It has done
in that direction was to notify China that
It regarded her contention as a reason
able and a proper one.

STORMS IN CORN BELT.
Crops Seriously Damaged by Heavy
Jnne Rains. '
CHICAGO July L Reports received here
today from the grain states most affected
by the heavy June rains Indicate that the
crop situation Is not so discouraging as it
has been painted In many quarters. This
was reflected In the grain pits today, for
while markets were firm at the opening
and for some time following, the excite
ment of yesterday seemed to "have sub
sided, and there was a disposition to place
much faith In the restorative effects of
warmer weather, which was reported In
some sections, and was believed to be on
the way In other places. Ohio, Michigan,
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma
and Indian Territory crops are said to be
generally favorable. Damage generally, It
was said, would be largely repaired by
warm weather In July.
Great Damage In itansai.
TOPEKA, July L The excessive rains
are doing much damage to the crops of
Kansas. In Pottawatomie County, over
700 acres of harvested wheat are under
water. The water reaches almost to the
tops of the shocks of wheat, and much of
tho cereal will be destroyed before the
water recedes. The rain throughout the
eastern portion -of the state early this
morning amounted to almost a cloudburst.
Com and other -crops are making a good
growth, hut the fields are so wet that they
cannot be cultivated, and the crop will,
therefore, not make nearly so much as
was indicated by the prospects two, weeks
ago. There seems no immediate prospect
of relief from the wet spelL
New York Crops Injured.
NEW YORK, July 1. Reports from
Central and Northern New York indicate
that the continuous rain has done many
thousands of dollars' worth pf damage to
the crops. Farmers say that alfalfa, tim
othy and clover are rotting. In the fields;
that oats and barley crops will consist
chiefly of straw; that the sweet corn and
the regular field corn are rotting, and that
pasture lands are too wet to produce nu
tritious food for stock.
In Cortland County the corn crop Is be
lieved toTfe ruined, w:hlle only a small
part of the hoi has .fceen harvested. In
Oneida County farmers are replanting
their corn, while the,, pea crop Is also se
verely damaged.
Heavy Raini) In Nebraska.
OMAHA, July 1. There were general
rains throughout Nebraska. In the Platte
and Missouri Valleys the rainfall for the
past week or two has been excessive, and
In some ptecespotatoes are reported to be
rotting In the ground, and the corn crop
is somewhat damaged by too much moist
ure. On the tablelands, however, the heavy
fall of rain,. has served to put the corn
crop in a splendid condition. The temper
ature average for the past week has been
considerably below normal, and sunshine
is needed.
Grain In Shock Is Sprouting.
ST. LOUIS, July 1. There eeems to be
no let-up to the rain that has been fall
ing heavily at Intervals since Saturday
morning. Damage to crops in Illinois and
Missouri It Is conservatively estimated
wiy." amount to millions of dollars: Grain
in .shock that was not carried away by
the floods is beginning to sprout. In the
uplands corn and oats were benefited by
.the rains, where not blown down.
Damage in Michigan.
DETROIT, July 1. Detroit had a clear,
sunshiny day for the first time since June
2L The rainfall for June was 6.97 Inches,
an excess of more than three inche.
Corn, late potatoes and beans In Michi
gan have suffered severely from the heavy
rains. Wheat Is said to be running more
to stalks than to heads. Plenty of sun
shine through July, however, will repair
to a great extent the damage.
Losses in Knnsns City.
KANSAS CITY, July 1. Today's storm
caused seevral thousand dollars loss in
the outlying districts of Kansas City,
flooding cellars and doing other minor
damage. Across the river at Roeedale,
Turkey Creek rose rapidly, and, entering

THE CHARGES ARE FALSE
CHAFFEE'S VIEW OF MAJOR GAR
DENER'S ALLEGATIONS.
Natural Inference From the Aban
donment by t'ac Tnyabaa Gov
ernor of His Claim.
MANILA, July 1. General Chaffee has
pent a letter to the board which is In
quiring Into the charges of cruelty brought
by Major Cornelius Gardener, Governor
of the Province of Tayabas, Luzon,
against American officers and soldiers,
saying that the abandonment by Major
Gardener of the charge that higher officers
In the Army in the Philippines were hos
tile to the civil government there "was
not the answer that Secretary Root ex
pected from him. General 'Chaffee -wrote
also that Major Gardener was not a Judge
of the effect of proving this charge, and
that the action of Secretary Root In con
vening the present board was taken in
order that Major Gardener should pro
duce his witnesses. The abandonment of
the charge by the Major led to the infer
ence that it was false. But, true or
false, continued General Chaffee, It affect
ed injuriously the characters of higher of
ficers. The board has demanded of Ma
jor Gardener that he produce testimony
covering the alleged hostility. Major Gar
dener promised to answer this communi
cation later. Counsel for Major Gardener,
when questioned on this matter outside
of court, said he would refuse to produce
witnesses. He declared that Major Gar
dener's report to Civil Governor Taft was
confidential, and that the Major would
only produce witnesses to protect him
self, if court-martialed.
At today's session of the board Major
Gardener testified that he had withheld
the names of other witnesses in Lucena,
in Tarabas Province, because of the at
titude of the recorder of the court.

Conditions in Colombia.
COLON. Colombia, July 1. It hasJbeen
learned from a moat Sellable source7 that
the situation in the Interior of Colombia
continues to be very satisfactory. Quicker
telegraph communication with Bogota, the
capital of the republic, and free transit
of the Magdalena River now obtain. The
operations of the Insurgents in the Depart

government anxiety, and only outside aid,
which Is believed to come notably from
Nicaragua, enables the Insurgents in this
district to continue the struggle.

Joseph Chamberlain, the Colonial Secre
tary, at the conference of Colonial Pre
miers last Monday, Is said t have been a
great disappointment. It Is described as
"varied and comprehensive, but Indefi
nite." While Mr. Chamberlain covered a
large field of subjects In his speech, he
committed himself to a decided opinion on
only one of them, and he advanced no def
inite opinion or proposal of any kind on
behalf of the government, fals only sugges
tion In the direction of imperial federation
being that of the periodical repetition of
the conference of Colonial Premiers In
London. Mr. Chamberlain's speech has
left the impression that, regarding the
zollvereln and all other Important points.
Including imperial defense, not only his
hands, but his tongue also Is tied.
