ITS WORK REVIEWED. A Brief Summary ;?Tn'. Important Bust- " mess Transacted by the Congress Which Aas Just Closed. : W ASHINGTON, March s.—The working or business feature was perhaps the most distinguishing characteristic of the Fifty-first congress. Three measures, any of which in intrinsic importance and popular interest would be sufficient for a national issue, stand forth pre-eminent *among all others. ‘First, the McKinley tariff bill, which became a law; second, the silver bill, on which at the first session a compromise was offered, based on monthly purchases of 4,500,000 ountes of silver, which in turn was followed by a more radical measure that failed of passage; and third, the federal elections bill, which, after a protracted, bitter and intensely exciting preliminary struggle, failed in the senate to reach a decisive vote on its merits.

Even in its mortuary record the congress was remarkable, the call of death having summoned no fewer than twelve of its representatives and three of its senators. .

The total appropriations for this congress will probably reach $1,000,000,000. In the Fifty-first congress 14,033 bills were introduced in the house and 5,129 in the senate. In the Fiftieth congress 12,654 bills were introduced in the house and 4,000 in the senate. In the Fifty-first . congress 297 joint resolutions, or. 28 more than the number introduced in the Riftieth, were introduced in the house. In the senate 169 joint resolutions, 24 more than in the Fiftieth, were introduced. In the Fiftieth congress President Cleveland vetoed 161 bills and joint resolutions, ‘while in the Fifty-first President Harrison vetoed only 11.

The Blair educational bill, the bill for the appointment of an alcoholicliquor commission and the ‘‘eight-hour” claims bill are measures which were defeated on test votes; while among those which, after passing one house failed of ‘action in the other, are the bankruptcy Dbill, the Conger lard bill and the army reorganization bill. The Paddock pure-food bill, the Nicaragua canal bill, the Pacific railroad funding bill and the interstate commerce bill (to permit limited pooling of earnings by railroad companies) are among the measures which failed toreach a vote in either house. The following are some of the senate bills which failed to pass the house:

To provide for the free coinage of silver; enlarging the rights of homesteaders and preemptors on the public lands; reviving the grade of lieutenant-general of the army; for a boarding vessel at Chicago, and for the exploration and survey of the interior of Alaska.

The following house bills failed to pass the senate:

The aggregate cost to the government of this land will be about $9,000,000. About 5,000,000 acres of the land thus thrown open is situated in the vicinity of Oklahoma and include lands occupied by the Sacs and Foxes, the lowas, Pottawatomies, the Cheyennes and Arapahoes.
