U In a dismal minority," and another recess was taken for fifteen minutes. At 9:13 o'clock, when the Senate proceedings were resumed, the- Vice President announced hi i:gnature to the naval appropriation bill. It was the last formality before taking the Important measure to the President. At 8:45 the Vice President announced his signature . to the deficiency bill. This was the last cf the appropriations bills, and thus all the great measures for carrying on the governirtnt were either at the executive mansion or on their way there. CALL AND HARRIS. Little was done before U o'clock, unanimous consent having been given to confine the business to conference agreements. Not knowing this, Mr. Call made a parting effort to launch a senatorial investigation of . the alleged lottery Iniquities in Florida. Being informed by Mr. Harris of the agreement, Mr. Call 'wanted to know what the Senate proposed to do at 11 o'clock. "It will do what it pleases," said Mr. Harris. . with his usual explosiveness. "On the contrary," retorted Mr. Call, "the Senate never , does what it pleases, but what a few please." "It seldom does what the Senator from Florida pleases, but always what it pleases," added Mr. Harris. Then the Senators lapsed into inaction, waiting for the couclucung hour to arrive. At 10:15 Mr. Voorhees offered a resolution, which waa adopted, for the appointment of a Joint committee of the two houses, two Senators and two members, to wait on the President and inform him that Congress, having completed its business, was ready to adjorrn. The Vice President named Mr. Voorhees and Mr. Sherman as the Senate members of the committee. The Bering sea question made its appearance briefly when Mr. Gray asked unanimous consent to take up the bill already passed by the House concerning Bering sea regulations, which, he said, were essential to the preservation of the fur peals. Mr. Morgan, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, objected. This ended the chances of the bill. Another phase of the same subject came up when Mr. Morgan asked the adoption of a pending agreement directing the foreign relations committee to inquire Into the claims of Canadian sealers for the seizures of vessels. This time it was Mr. Gray's turn to object. Mr. Morgan thereupon made a pointed statement of the injustice and extravagance of the British demands, his service at the Pans court of award, ' Kiving the statement especial significance. He said the President and Secretary of State had urged the payment of $425,000, although the claim was unjustifiable under the strongest possible presentation of Great iSritain's case there would not be due more than $79,000. On one item the United . States appraisers had estimated the claims of three ships at $12,000, and yet Great Britain had put In a claim of $14,000. Mr. - Gray pressed the objection. He said Mr. Morgan evidently feared that the pending ' legislation on the subject was a reflection on the Paris tribunal, of which he was a distinguished member. Resolutions were adopted for a recess Investigation of Senate chamber ventilation and for continuing the committee assignments until December next. , Mr. Blackburn sought to have a recess inquiry as to amending the Senate rules in the interest of expediting business, but it was objected to. Mr. Morrill here presented a graceful compliment to the vice President, who had temporarily left the chair, in tne form of a . resolution thanking him for the ability, dignity and impartiality with which he had administered the duties of presiding officer. . There was loud and unanimous adoption of thn resolution. ,,- Mr. Ransom, the new minister to Mexico, presented his resignation from the printing committee, which is to sit during the re- " THE FLORIDA MAN BEATEN It was now 11:30 a. ra., with only half an hour of life remaining for this Congress. There was great confusion on the floor as Senators sought recognition. Mr. Call was again to the front with his lottery investigation, declaring vehemently that Mr. Gorman was seeking to suppress an Inquiry desired by the religious element of the community. He demanded a yea and nay vote on : taking up the resolution. To the surprise of every one, including Mr. Call, the resolution was taken up 35 to 18. For a moment It was believed the resolution was adopted, and the presiding officer so announced. The tinal vote was interrupted by other pressing husiness. Mr. Call did not press-the measure further. At 11:40, with only twenty minutes remaining, a joint resolution was passed as to compensation of employes. A messenger dashed away with it in a race to get to the White House and secure the President's signature within twenty minutes. The thanks of the Senate were expressed In a resolution offered - by Mr. Manderson for the courtesy and impartiality with which Mr. Harris had served as President pro tern of the Senate. Mr. Harris then took the chair and returned his thanks for the , flattering resolution. - At twelve minutes to .12 the last enrolled oill was reported to the Senate as signed by the Vice President, but it seemed impossible to get the excutlve signature in lime. Mr. Call vehemently insisted on a final vote on his Florida investigation. Mr. Aldrieh declared that the special committee, if appointed, would be for a. political purpose alone. He moved an amendment that the committee on judiciary make the investigation. Mr. Call excitedly denounced the statement of Mr. Aklrich concerning the political purposes of the inquiry. At this moment Mr. Voorhees and Mr. Sherman, the Senate committee to wait on the President, appeared on the floor. ''The committee has waited on the President," ald Mr. Voorhees, "and has notified him i hat the work of Congress was at an end. The President states that he has no further communication to make, and he tenders his congratulations to Congress on the conclusion of its labors." The Vice President announced Senators Cockrell, Davis, Daniel, Gordon, Quay and Sherman as the senatorial members of the committee to take part in the dedication of the Chickamauga National Park, v The Vice President, who had now taken the chair, rose as the clock pointed to two minutes to 12 for a parting word to the Senate. He said: "Senators, the hour has arrived fixed by law for the termination of this Congress. For the courtesy uniformly ; extended me and the resolutions just adopted my gratitude cannot be measured by words. I would do violence to my feelings If I failed to express my thanks to the officers of this body for the fidelity with which they have discharged their important duties and for their assistance and courtesy to the presiding officer. It only remains to make official announcement that the Senate stands adjourned without day." As the last words were uttered by the ice President, being timed to -conclude at 32, he brought his gavel down sharply and declared the session at an end. There was no demonstration and no applause. Senators began bidding their adieus. The appearancu of the chamber, the weary looks of worn-out Senators, was evidence that the end had come. ITS RECORD MADE.

Adjournment of the House, After . Tlianklng Speaker Crisp. WASHINGTON, March 4. At noon today, after a continuous session) of fortyeiht hours, interrupted by an occasional re:es, the flags above the Capitol werelowered, the Fifty-third Congress had passed into history. All the appropriation bills were out of the way when the House convened at 8 o'clock this morning, and the time was dawdled away until 11 o'clock, ' the only feature being a rather brisk but brief debate on the results to follow from the projected monetary conference. The usual committee was sent to the President to inform him that Congress was ready 'to adjourn, and the other formalities of the end of a Congress were "gone through with. Tho concluding minutes were In the nature of a love feast. The best feeling prevailed. The resolution of thanks to the Speaker, which usually comes from a member of the majority, was offered to-day by Mr. Cannon in a very graceful speech bearing testimony to the high appreciation in which the presiding officer was held by the Republican minority. Mr. Wuson, of West Virginia, responded in behalf of the majority, and Mr. Simpson, of Kansas, representing the Populists, Joined in the expression of thanks for the courtesies and kindnesses extended by the Speaker. All kindly sentiments were applauded, and when Mr. Crisp himself ascended the rostrum to return his thanks and deliver his parting words the noise was terrific.; At the conclusion of his speech, Just before declaring the House adjourned, tho Speaker appointed Mr. Culberson, of Texas, Mr. Hltt, of Illinois, and himself as members of the monetary, commission. His own appointment was by resolution. As the Fifty-third Conress came to an end the dcxology was sung by the correspondents in tho press gallery. When the Hour reconvened this morning tit 8 o'clock the Speaker and a dozen memIters were at their posts. All persons present looked tired ana worn out. In the public gallery opposite the Speaker's gallery lounged a half dozen belated visitor who bad remained there all night, and in the

private gallery a Bolltary female held the fort. She looked bedraggled, but was evidently determined to sit it out. Otherwise the hall was deserted. Mr. Baker, of New Hamphsire, had the honor of passing the first bill of the final session. It was a bill to pay a war claim of Margaret "Kennedy, amounting to $4,000. The husband of the beneficiary has been a well-known figure about the Capitol for years. Every morning he was to be found at one of the doors, with his pockets full of apples, doling them out to members and appealing for votes for his bill. Mr. Dockery was in the watch tower looking after Uncle Sam's strong box, but he allowed several blll3 to go through by unanimous consent. GROSVENOR SCORES SILVERITES. . Mr. Grosvenor created the first flurry by a brief but sharp speech, contending that the Republicans were the true friends of bimetallism. The repeal of . the Sherman act two years ago, he said, had accomplished more than any other influence to bring about the hopeful condition for silver we now observe the world over. He predicted great results from the proposed monetary conference. "When the apostle of the new dispensation," said he, "preached his doctrine In a city of a then civilized world there gathered in a small silver shop a group of curbstone peddlers, who raised up their voices against the destruction of the idol Diana. They sold the images of the idol on the street corners, end they resolved that If the doctrine of Christ prevailed their occupation would be gone. So with some of the alleged silver leaders here," concluded Mr. Grosvenor. "They do not want this monetary conference to prevail, because if it does their occupation will be done. Mr. Grosvenor's speech precipitated quite a stir among the silver men. They all rushed forward and appealed for recognition. Mr. Bryan managed to get the floor, and Indignantly resented the reflections made by Mr. Pence, yesterday, on the silver men. He favored this conference. He was for free silver, but he believed it the height of folly for the United States to refuse to join hands with other countries of the world if they were ready and willing to join in the scheme for the remonetization of silver. Mr. Dingley agreed with Mr. Grosrvenor, contending with European bimetallists that the single attempt of any country the United States, France or Germany to open its mints to the free coinage of silver would swamp it and place it immediately on a silver basis. Mr. Walker, Mr. Wanger and Mr. Simpson crowded in a few words before the debate was cut off. At 10 o'clock Mr. Dockery moved a recess until 11 o'clock. Mr. Simpson made the point of no quorum. Meantime the visitors had poured into the galleries until they were packed like sardines in a box. On the floor all waa confusion. Members chatted and laughed and bid each other good-bye. Finally Mr. Simpson surrendered and the recess was taken until 11 o'clock. A 11 o'clock, when the House reconvened, the noise in the galleries and the confus'Ion on the floor ceased. The usual committee consisting of Messrs. Catchings, Outhwaite and Reed was appointed to join a similar committee from the Senate and inform the President that Congress was ready to adjourn. , - The Speaker appointed Messrs. Rusk, Meredith and Coffin on the committee cn accounts to serve during the recess. WOMEN ON THE FLOOR. Another recess for fifteen minutes was taken. At half past 11 (o'clock, Mr." Hatch asked unanimous consent that for the remainder of the' session the wives and families of members who were unable : to gain admission to the galleries be allowed on the floor of the House. The Speaker replied that under the rules he could not submit the request. Mr. Hatch then created much amusement by submitting the request himself and, hearing no objection, he ordered the doorkeepers to fcdmit the ladies. The ladies crowded through i he doors and down the aisles taking every saat that was vacant. The committee appointed to wait on the President, with Mr. Catchings as spokesman, then appeared and informed the Speaker that the President had no tirther communication to make to Congress. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, then obtained reeognization, and, in a graceful speech, offered a resolution of thanks to -the Speaker. Such a resolution usually comes from one of the leaders of the majority. The resolution was as follows; "Received, That the thanks of the members of the House be extended to the Speaker for the able, impartial and dignified manner in ' which he has presided over the deliberations of this House and performed the ard ous duties of the Chair." A great burst of applause greeted the presentation of Mr. Cannon's resolution and as soon as order was restored, Mr. Hatch, who was in the Chair, recognized Chairman Wilson, of the ways and means committee. "Responding to the spur of the moment," said he, "I desire to say that we on this side are duly appreciative of the graceful and courteous action of the gentleman from Illinois. One of the pleasant things about serving lir this House, as I found it, is that the sharpest political antagonisms do not make personal estrangements. I understand this is not the rule in other countries where generally party differences beget personal antagonisms." Mr. Simpson, a representative of the third party, was then recognized and joined in the testimonial to the "kindness, goodness and fairness of the Speaker." After a few words by Grosvenor on the same lines, Mr. Hatch, who was in the chair, called for a rising vote on the resolution. Every member ore the floor, save Mr. Reed, of Maine, and Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, arose to his feet, and Mr. Hatch declared the resolution unanimously adopted., CRISP'S FAREWELL ADDRESS. " 1 A moment later, when Speaker v Crisp ascended the rostrum, the applause and cheering were renewed. The Speaker bowed hie acknowledgments, and after hearing Mr. Cannon's resolution read, he delivered his valedictory. "Representatives," said he, "I know you will pardon me if, before performing my last official act, I give some, expression to what I feel not only in regard ' to the resolution which you have just adopted, but in respect to the uniform kindness, courtesy and consideration with which I have been treated by every member of this body. ' The difficulties of the presiding officer arise largely from this, that whereas there are perhaps 14,000 or 15,000 bills introduced in a Congress, in the nature of things but a small part of them can have consideration. If all the measures introduced could bo considered and acted on by the House, then the duties of the presiamg officer and of the members would be rendered much less difficult; but where only a small portion of the measures introduced can be considered there is necessarily a struggle to determine what those particular measures shall be, and from year to year this difficulty increases. . The present occupant of the chair and he feels that in making this expression ho but echoes the experience of nearly every one of his predecessors had no conception of the difficulties incident to the office of Speaker. Again I thank you and. when I say that, I but feebly express by feelinp-s. Never in my life, no matter what may be its future, can 1 expect to attain, to so high an office as that which I owe to your kindness, to your consideration, to your partiality. In laying down that office, the greatest gratification that could be afforded me is the evidence in this resolution that I have discharged the duties of the place in some degree, at least, to the satisfaction of those gentlemen to whom I owe the office and to those gentlemen on the other side who have al-" ways extended to me the utmost courtesy." A resolution was then adooted toward a further demonstration of good will, thanking Mr. Pearson, of Ohio, chairman of the committee on enrolled bills, for the successful manner in which he had performed -his arduous duties, after which the Speaker announced the appointment of Messrs. Culberson. Hltt and himself (under resolution adopted last night) as members of the monetary commission. Then the end came. The hands of the clock pointed to 12. "I now declare the third session of the Fifty-third Congress," said the Speaker, "adjourned witnout day." The silver mace was lifted from its malachite pedestal, the flag above the House was lowered, and, amid cheers and cat calls from the galleries, a rush was made for the doers. But from the press gallery came the sound of music. The newspaper correspondents were singing the doxology, "Praise God from Whom all . Blessings Flow." The spectators paused to listen and applaud, and then, as tne chorus ceased, pushed out and in a few moments the hall was deserted. .

Cardinal Gibbon on Temperance. BALTIMORE, March 4. Cardinal Gibbons has addressed the following letter to the president of the Maryland State Temperance Alliance: "It will give me great pleasure to assist the meettng of the Maryland State Temperance Alliance, to be held In Baltimore, May 8, if urgent duties do not prevent me. The value of temperance Is a lesson that should be taught and practiced without regard to sect. It is preeminently a Christian virtue. No denomination calling itself Christian can overlook its importance In domestic, civ'.i and religious life. Intemperance is the curse of the family, whose happiness and peace it blights and destroys. Most cordially, therefore, will I give my aid to your worthy efforts toward the suppression of the evil."

AN EDITOR HITS BACK

IIRIXGS A $20,000 LIBEL SUT AGAIXST HIS MALIG.YERS. Greenfield Christian - Scientist on Trial for Pructicinar Medicine Other Indiana Xeirs. " Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELKHART, Ind., March 4. It Is by no means unusual for persons who have grievances, real or Imagined, to sue an editor for libel and claim generous damages to salve their lacerated feelings, but when an editor turns the tables, has lacerated feelings of his own, and sues several of the main props of a wealthy village it is a different thing. Such a condition exists at 3ristol, nine miles east of this city, and in this county. Bristol has six hundred inhabitants, made up largely u-f wealthy retired farmers, who, having nothing particular to do in a business way, spend a very large portion of their time in getting even with each other. The place is largely given to sensations. A few weeks ago farmer Crumbaker, a wealthy resident, while on his way home one night, was waylaid, his skull crushed and his body robbed. Everybody in the village suspected everybody else, and a great deal of friction has resulted. A young man named Vinton Little, a well-known resident of the place, is now in the county jail on suspicion of being the murderer. Several others are suspected, and local detectives have been watching their every movement. The roobing of tho Bristol postoffice has long been so common as to scarcely elicit comment, though three young Briscolites Henry Sanger, Lee Bennett and Wiltiam Palmer were arrested by a United States marshal a few days ago for the last robbery of the omce and brought here for examination. They were released on recognizances. It was also at Bristol, last fall, that a stone man was planted and then successfully dug up and sent on a starring tour about the country More recently Dr. Sweetlang and David Early, while on a drunken spree, nearly pounded the life out of an old constable named Wright, who is now prosecuting them for assault with intent to kill. These are but a few of the divertisements with which the good people of the village are amusing themselves. But out of the Crumbaker murder the present excited condition, of the local populace has arisen. Robert H. Weamer, a veteran editor, publishes the Bristol Banner. When the Crumbaker murder occurred George Thompson and Daniel Sherry, two wdlknown Bristolites, joined the Indiana Detective Association, whose headquarters are said to be at Indianapolis, paid $10 each for badges and set out to find the murderer. They didn't get the murderer, but they found a boy named Albert Salsbury, who claimed he was hidden in a woodshed and overheard Sanger, Palmer and Bennett plan toJoot the postoffice the last time it was subjected to that treatment. As stated above, the young men were arrested, examined and bound over on the boy's testimony. It was then that editor Weamer took the position in his paper that there was nothing whatever to occasion the arrests and ridiculed the local members of the Indiana Detective Association. Thereupon threo wealthy residents Township Trustee William W. Wright, Andrew J. Menges and Thomas Hilbish circulated a letter over their own signatures to Hon Cyrus F. Mos'er, proprietor of the Banner, and a resident of India naoolis. in which thy scathingly arraigned Mr. Weamer for upholding lawlessness and everything else that was evil in the community, and demanded the removal of Mr. Weamer from his editorial function. Th writers read the letter to several of their townsmen, and said they intended to send it to Mr. Mos er at Indianapolis, but their nerve evidently failed them and thev finally burned it. Thev also went to Rev. Frav. of the M. E. Chnrr-h. Mr. Weamor's pastor, and accused Weamer of uohold-'ng thus and aiding and abetting the evils that existed in the community. Several persons, it is allied, were t"ld these storios bv the trio . and some of Weamer's friends Anally informed him of the matter. At first the revelation nearlv broke his heart, and, as he says, he "didn't sleep all night." Then he got angry, and. coming to th's city, consulted, the law firm of Dodee & Hubbdl, ad this morning filed a complaint in the Circuit Court agaiist Wright, Menees and Hilbish. alleging libel in one paragraph pr-H slander in another, and asking for $20.' uamage. The fisrht will be a b'tter one. a both sides are fully aroused and are backed by their friends. FAITH ('1KB OX TRIAL. Rev. Gardner Unities, of Greenfield. Faces Some Hard Charges. Special to the Ind'anspolis Journal. GREENFIELD, Ind., March 4. Last Saturday Gardner Haiiius, of Indianapolis, who i3 the pastor of .the Christian Scientist Church in this city, was arrested on two charges. One was that lie practiced medicine without a license, and the other that he failed to report to the Board of Health the death of a patk-iit who died under his care. The trial began before Mayor George W. Duncan this afternoon before a crowded house, even stanuing room being taken. The defense is in charge of Elmer J. Bierford and the State is represented by Prosecutor John McNew and Hon. R. A. Black. The State showed thut Haines had been doing a large business. He has a large number of followers here, having taught several classes. At. one time he had a class of thirty at $25 each, which he taught in two weeks, and at the same time had about fifty patients he was treating, who paid as they saw fit. It is thought he made in those two weeks about $1,000. The State has rested, but as the defense has about forty witnesses the case was continued until tomorrow. CIIICKAMAl'GA COMMISSION. Jndge McConnell Outlines the Plans for the Monuments. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOGANSPORT, Ind., March 4. Concerning charges made by an Inanapolis paper against the Chickamauga commission. Judge D. B. McConnell, of the Cass Circuit Court, and a member of the commission, said today: "Ohio appropriated for her monuments $95,000, as is shown by General Boynton's statement published in the Journal. This was $1,500 for each regiment and $1,000 for each' battery that Ohio had in the battle. The commission recommended to the Legislature that a like amount for each Indiana regiment and battery be appropriated with $6,(30 to be used lor tablets or markers not provided by the government. Onio had the greatest number of troops at Chickamauga and Indiana the next largest, but Indiana lost more in killed and wounded than any other itate. We thougnt Indiana could not afford to take second rank at the dedication which takes place next September. The government appropriated $20,C0O for the expenses of the dedication and has invited all of the States to participate in the services. We thought Indiana ought to. offer $2,000 for, that purpose to be used by the Governor, making the total appropriation of the State $07,000. This amount we thought ought to be appropriated and so stated to the committee on ways and means, as citizens of Indiana and interested in tne honor of the State, and that we would. not bo satisfied with anything less. "The ways and means committee saw fit to name $40,000. which is $1,000 to each regiment and $j0O to each battery, with nothing for dedication ceremonies and nothing for markers, but Including $4,000 for expenses. The commission was not satisfied with this sum, but learning that many regiments were willing to accept $1.00 and supplement that amount by subscriptions from members, we determined to advocate it. "It was never a question with us. what the monuments might be purchased for. We recommended no designs and had none in mind. The designs that are represented on the reports of the rational commission, and which we had with us were simply photographs of the monuments already erected, and we simply used them as some indication of the proposed plan of improving the park. The question with us was how much will the State give to each regiment and not what could a monument be purchased for. We were personally urging the passage of the appropriation simply because we possessed the requisite information on the subject, having as volunteers assisted in marking the positions of the regiments on the battlefield. "I see by the newsoaper reports of the action of the House on the bill that one of the members charged that the Massachusetts monuments as represented in Gen. Bovnton's report could be duplicated for $250. Tnis may or may not be true. That iues not concern us. Massachusetts may have paid what their monument was worth, not more perhaps than $250. or she may have been swindled In its purchase. It does not follow from that that Indiana, shou id follow the example of Massachusetts and buy inferior monuments or make corrupt bargains for them. The bill which waa drafted by one of the commission provides that no single dollar of the money appropriated shall be handled by a member of the com

mission appointed under the bill, but that all money shall be paid out on contracts made in duplicate signed by the president of the commission and approved by the Governor of Indiana. There is a provision in the bill that regiments may supplement the appropriation of the bill for monuments by contributions of their own and their wishes may be considered in regard to . the location and design of their monument, respectively. It has been thought by the commission since the present bill ha3 been returned from the hands of the ways and means committee that the most effective way to use the appropriation and preserve the honor of the State will be to cast the responsibility of selecting the design and making the contract for the erection of the respective monuments on the regiments and batteries, the commission simply aiding in the selection of the site and securing the approval of the Secretary of War to designs of monuments and inscriptions thereon and of the location. The regiments are each to make its own contract for the erection of its monument, taking into account the sum appropriated to each and the time at which the appropriation will be available by the terms of the act. By that means it is. possible to erect each monument and all of them before the time fixed for the dedication. The contractor in ea h instance would take the money provided by the regiment and the sum appropriated by the State according to the terms of the appropriation, and that would end the matter without any considerable steal." .

Several Business Blocks in Andrews Destroyed. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL WABASH, Ind., March 4. Last night Andrews, the division point on the Wabash railroad, eleven miles east of this city, was visited by the most destructive fire in its history, the loss aggregating $15,000, with insurance of less than $10,000. The fire broke out at U o'clock. In the rear part of Rath & Keppler's jewelry establishment, which occupied the same room with J. W. Autenrith, boot and shoe dealer. It is supposed that an overheated wood stove started the blaze, and,' as a very high wind was blowing, the building which, beside the merchants named,; contained a room occupied by S. J. Leedy' dry goods merchant. The block was soon a mass of flames, and as the town has no fire protection the fire spread to the Andrews Hotel, adjoining, and thence to the one-story residence of Mrs. Brandown and the shoe store of J. M., Starr. A bucket brigade was formed to fight the flames, and a telegram for assistance was sent to a neighboring town, but before the engine arrived the fire had burned Itself out.
