ITS WORK IS DONE Fifty - Eighth Congress Has Passed Its Last Bill. 8JVERS AND HARBORS SAFE Conference Report Is Among Last Adopted Panama Canal Bill Fails House Finally Abandons Mileage Grab. "WASHINGTON, March 3. The last day's session of the House before the final ad journment of the 5Sth Congress at noon tomorrow found that body almost through with. Its work of disposing: of conference reports on the great supply measures of the Government and a few measures of public importance. The doors were opened until late at night, and the galleries were packed, while outside in the corridors were thousands. A, feature of the proceedings was the general desire of the members to abstain from obstructive tactics and permit the disposition of business. Speaker Cannon wielded the gavel over the entire cession and maintained the best of order. The only subject which gave rise to any considerable debate was the conference report on the river and. harbor bilL By an overwhelming vote the House refused to agree to a motion by Sibley to concur 4n the Senate amendments, and the bill was sent back to conference. The con ference reports on the Indian and post office appropriation bills were agreed to, finally both measures being passed. The conference report on the naval appropria tion bill was called up by Foss of Illi nois. In division, 100 to 83, the House concurred in the amendments, thereby fully passing the bllL Other bills were '.passed as fellows: Authorizing the Secretary of State to order manufactured rifles for the use of rifle clubs under regulations prepared by the National Board for the Promotion of Hifle Practice. Authorizing the President to allot and distribute Indian tribal funds to such In dians as in his Judgment may be entitled to them by reason of their advanced civ ilisation. Eclating to the construction and main tenance of roads, schools and the care end support of Insane persons in Alaska. To further prescribe the duties of the Secretary of the District of Alaska. Ealanlanole of Hawaii addressed the House on the subject of leper conditions in Hawaii, In answer to some suggestions made yesterday that one of the Islands "be used for a National leprosarium, in cluding patients from the United States. He protested against the proposal, on the ground that It would be destructive to the Interests of that terrlory. At o'clock the House took a recess un til 8 o'clock. "When it reconvened Hemen way presented the conference report on the Sundry civil appropriation bill, and It "was agreed to with little consideration. Rivers and Harbor Bill Passed. Pinal House conference reports on the two remaining appropriation Mils, the riv ers and harbors and the general deficiency measures, were agreed to at the evening cession. A full agreement on the rivers and har bors appropriation bill was reached by the conferees at 10 o'clock tonight by a com promise of all the matters of difference. The bill as finally agreed on appropriates $30,618,310. For the collection of customs $1,500,000 ja appropriated by the general deficiency bill to meet the anticipated deficiency for 1903, which it Is estimated will' be sufficient to conduct the service until the next Con gress can give further consideration to the subject. The $200,000 for the public health and marine hospital service was restored to the bill. The provision proposed by the House re pealing a section of the revised statutes making a permanent appropriation for the expenses of the collection of the revenues of tho customs is stricken out A provis ion Inserted In the Senate amending the law with reference to parting and refining bullion also comes out. Among the new items Is $30,000 to repair the steamship Thetis for work In Behrlng Sea and the Arctic Ocean. Mileage Grab Given Up. There was much discussion today and tonight of the appropriation for mileage. Representative Hemenway finally moved that the House recede and concur In the Senate amendment striking out the mile age. This motion prevailed, 173 to 72, af ter much discussion, and the House ac cordingly agreed, which finally passed the bill. A resolulton was agreed to accepting the recession by the State of California of the Toeemlte Valley grant and the Mariposa big tree grpve In the Yosemlte National Park, and appropriating 420,000 for the care of the park. Vandlver's resolution requesting infor mation of the Attorney-Genoral as to whether he has taken action on the evi dence furnished by the Anti-Trust League cf an alleged combination between the Carnegie and the Bethlehem Steel Works to fix the price of armor-plate was laid on the table, 109 to 9C. The House then, at 1135 P. M., took a recess until 10 o'clock tomorrow. SENATE CLOSES BUSINESS. Temporary Government for Canal Zone Hard Words for House. WASHINGTON, March 3. The Sen ate today found Itself far less pressed than usual on tho last day of the ses sion of a Congress. Tho last of the appropriation bills having been passed, the session was given up largely to general legislation and. when neces sary, to conference reports on appro priation bills. During tho day the final reports were presented on the naval, the postofllce, the Indian and the sundry civil bills, leaving: only the rivers and harbors bill and the general deficiency bill to be considered In their final stages. During the day the pure food bill was definitely displaced. The joint resolution continuing- in frce the present law applicable to the Fanama Canal Zone was unanimously adopted, but not until after several Senators had expressed in frank lan gu ige their opinions concerning the at titude of the House, to which they at tributed the failure of the conference on the new bill. The resolution was r greed to on a rol call, 69 yeas, no nays It is as follows: That the provision of section 2 of an aet to provide for the temporary Rovernment of 1) canal 2011 at Panama, the protection ot tip canal works and other purposes, approved ApM 28. 1304. "be and hereby are continued In i:i -e until the expiration of the fusion or the I 't -eighth Congress, beginning: the first Mon day in December. VMS. unless other provision be t-ooner made by Congrer. Miscellaneous bills as follows were passed: Authorizing Gila County. Arizona, to issue $40,000 worth of bonds for the construction of a Courthouse. Permitting two young Chinese to re ceive military instruction at "West Point. Oockrell resigned from the commit-, tee in charge of a new office building for the Senate, and Teller was appoint ed to fill the vacancy. At 6 o'clock the Senate took a recess till S.30 o'clock, when Perkins culled up -and the Senate passed a joint reso lution authorizing the acceptance of thft recession, -of the Xoeemlts .V-allej as au addition to the Tosemite National Park. Hale then presented the first confer ence report on the general deficiency report. Tn answer to a question in the conference, an Inquiry from Gorman. Hale said the conferees had failed to reach a decision on the House provis ion appropriating $190,000 to pay mile age to Senators and members of the second session of the present Congress. Gorman expressed tho hope that the Senate would not yield Its position for a moment He added the opinion that. If tlie.-provlsion should become a law. it would create a National scandal. The report, as far as it went, was agreed to and the Senate decided to ask for an other conference. At the night session the final confer ence reports on the general deficiency bill and the rivers and harbors bill were adopted, disposing of all appro priation bills. After much debate, a bill reinstat ing three Annapolis cadets who had been discharged from the Naval Acad emy for hazing was passed without division. Many Senators objected to the bill because they detested hazing. The beneficiaries are Joseph Drummond Little, of Ohio: Earl Worde Chaffee, of Iowa, and John Henry Lofland, of Wis consin. They are members of the class of 1903 and were court-martialed for alleged maltreatment of freshmen while at sea. . On motion of Spooner, the privileges of the floor were extended to Raoul Daudurand. Speaker of the Canadian SELECTED FOR OFFICIALS Edtrard Whltson, Jadce. Senate, and ex-Premier Sir Mackenzie Powell, who were present in the gal lery. The Senate at 10 o'clock took a recess for an hour. Soon after the resumption of business the final conference report on the rivers and harbors bill was presented by Galinger. who said the bill carried an aggregate appropriation for imme diate and continuing' appropriations amounting to about $37,000,000. The conference report was agreed to, and at 11:34 P. M. the Senate went Into execu tive session, reopening the doors at 11:45 and taking a recess until 10 A. M. tomorrow. STATEHOOD BILL IS DEAD. House Will Resurrect Its Own Meas ure in Next Congress. WASHINGTON, March 3. The state hood bill died at 9:30 o'clock tonight. At that time the conferees on the bill parted not to meet again ' during the 58th Congress. There was persistent ef fort on the part of the Senate conferees to get a "disagreement reported to the two houses, but the House conferees made the positive declaration that no disagreement report would be signed. The plan of the House leaders on the statehood question for the next Con gress has been outlined- The firs't day of the next session Representative Hamilton, chairman of the House com mittee on territories, will Introduce the statehood bill, with provisions like those which passed the House. He will call his committee together to report tho bill. This action will be taken without preliminary hearings. Within two weeks, it is expected, the bill will be on tho House calendar. A special rule will be forthcoming to put It through without protracted discussion and the question will then be again before the Senate. It Is thought that It will be well along in the session before the bill can be passed in the Senate. Colville Reservation Not Bought. WASHINGTON, March 3. The con ferees on the Indian appropriation bill today agreed on the three propositions In dispute The House roceded from Its disagreement to the Senate amendment removing restrictions on the sale of land in the Indian Territory.

House Inquiry About the Land Frauds Causes Query. WHITEWASH IS SUGGESTED National Business League Officials Think House Tried to Uncover Government's Hand Hitch cock Kept It Covered. CHICAGO. " March 3.-(SpecIal.)-Secre-tary Burnham and- other members of the National Business League express great surprise at the reply of the Secretary of the Interior to the resolution of the lower branch of Congress, In which It was stated that the General Land Office had no knowledge ot the "surreptitious" ac quisition of lands set apart for Irrigation purposes, alleged by the resolutions of the National Business League. At the headquarters of the League in this city it was learned that the resolu tions referred to were adopted February 21. 1203. and readopted February 10 of this year, three days prior to the special mes sage of President Roosevelt to Congress transmitting the second partial report ot the Public Lands Commission upon the condition, operation and effect of tho present land laws. The general impression among the mem bers of the League Is that there is a whitewashing effort on foot In Congress. Attention is called to the recent develop ments In Washington and Oregon and other parts of the Northwest. The in dictments of Senator Mitchell and Repre sentatives Hermann and Williamson at Portland were referred to, and also the closing paragraph of the report of the Public Lands Commission, which says: "The fundamental fact that character izes the present situation Is this: That the number of patents Issued Is Increas ing out of all proportion to the number of new homes." "I am at a loss to understand the reply of Secretary Hitchcock, unless It was be cause the Government Is acting In the Interest of Justice," said Secretary Burn ham. "It Is possible that the resolution of Congress was simply a move to uncover the hands of the department and force It to make public the evidence It has against Mitchell and others in what appears to be an organized Industry of land-stealing In the West. Naturally, the department could not make this Information public at this time, pending further grand Jury Investigations and possible indictments. It might defeat prosecutions of those who are guilty. This move may have been for that very purpose.'' Big Receipts for Month.

The poison worked into my lungs, and by February the doctors gave me up to die of consumption. Hemorrhages iin- , poverlshed my blood; I lost flesh, anVL was completely prostrated. "In despair I commenced taking Duffy's Pure Malt "Whiskey. The effect was like magic. I felt better from .the first dose. Hope crept Into my heart, refreshing sleep came back, night sweats were not so frequent. I could take deep breaths with less pain, my digestion Improved, and, thanks to your wonderful medicine. In six montba I was completely cured; once more a strong, hearty, well-fllled-out man, full of vim, vigor and ambition." E. A. KARNER, 3523 N. 2Sd Street, St. Louis, Mo., July 19, 1904.
