In the upper branch of roncret. the term

Up to this time the form, la has contained

the full term of six years, commencing
March 4. to succeed Hon. John M.

will continue to fill out his appointment
until thr legislature elects a successor or
Itself adjourns without electing.
ort .Majurltr -ot IJaucrrotik.
The fact that fifty votes would have
elected a senator on the ballot today is
merely a meaningless accident. The nuta
br refraining from voting, either by roaaon
of abi.ence or pairs, reached "thirty-four
the hlgbest since the session opened, but
there is not the slightest danger that any
tuch number as fifty can at any time steal
a march on the others or tbrnu- Vn. ....-

The conference of republicans called
for tonight by Speaker Sears Is for the )
purpose of discussing measures of legisla
tion affecting purty interests. Comment '
fcas been frequently made that the repub
I.can majority In the present legislature '
Is apparently almost without organization,
while the opposition Is kept remarkably
well In hand rallying to the support of Us
leaders uhencwr the signal Is given. To
the republican lack of organization must be
ascribed scleral instances where the mi
nority has gotten the best of the situa
tion. With the closing days of the ses
sion approaching the necessity of a better
understanding aud more harmonious co
operation among the republicans is stand
ing out In bold relief and for this reason
It Is proposed to keep the majority mem
bers nearer together and in closer touch
by holding conferences to adjust differ
ences among themselves and map out plans
of action on important subjects.
I.eaUlatlt r Apportionment.
The legislative apportionment was the
principal matter discussed at the republican
conference tonight. The members met a
reprtsentatlTe hall and behind closed doors.
Chairman Frank Young of the republican
state executive committee was present and
participated in the deliberations Senator
Van Be kirk's reapportionment bill formed
the basis of the discussion. Representa
tives from various sections of the state
were heard regarding the proposed changes
and several amendments to Van Bosklrk's
bill were agreed upon. These win be in
troduced probably tomorrow and the bill
will then be pushed lor early consideration.
The general effect of the bill will be to In
crease the representation of tbe north
western section of tlje state at the expene
of tbe counties or the First and Fourth
congressional districts. The group of coun
ties at tbe extreme western end of the state
along the Elkborn railroad will' be given
an additional representative, as win th
counties lmmodlaately south and along the
main line of the Inlon Taciac.
Douglas will be given thirteen representa
tives and four senators and a float senator
with Sarpy county Lancaster county will
get six representative. Gage, ont senator
nnd three representatives; Pawnee on
aeoator, .one representative ud a floxt
representative; Kithardson will be cut
from three rcprriientatlies down to one.
with a float representative with Pawnee'
county Tbe uonhers counties in the mlc
dle section of tbe Mate wl also ru?.r
slightly through the change.
Trullr mlnr)' Com pi lea I Inn.
Some complications are apt to arise
out of the penitentiary tire. A resolution
was adopted tn tbe house this morning ask
ing tbe State Board of Public Lands and
Buildings to employ a competent architect
at once to examine tbe walls of tbe burnt!
building and submit an Immediate repot 1
as to their condition whether available fur
rebuilding and an upproxlmate estimate
of the cost of reconstruction. It Is cer
tain an effort will be made to retain the
penitentiary at Its present location, the
principal factors enlisted to that end being
tbe convict labor contractors, who are
naturally averse to having thx prisoners
taken away, when they depend on their
work for the output of their profitable
establishments. They will try to have eU
sates submitted with a view to convincing
the legislature that It Is tar cheaper to
rebuild the present prison than to erect a
aew one at some other point."

president would remain by her side. The
marcb consequently was abandoned. The
band struck up Strauss' " Blue Danube"
and the first regret of the assemblage at

The balustrades aad archways presented
a brilliant scene Seventy-six stars formed
of eleven frosted globes, were set between
tbe arches on thr ground floor and shone
radiant through a network of greens against
a background glinting with powdered glass.
Suspended beneath each star, and below
draped festoons of smllax were shimmer
ing trailers of grern and rlecric bulb,
tipped with a yellow globe. Tbe gilt pil
lars were enshrouded in vines and greens
and above the bright circlets of light that
crowned them were placed taiWo boxes
of growing tulips, daffodil. rJlss ml

scheme of decoration was carried oat, ex

electric ltr.h's in clusters of three, eov

aBd rlroduciag a beautiful effect. Back
under tbe balconies -on the ground and

at regular Intervals, linked by loops of
vines and smilax.
Seventy-six additional posts bad been
placed on the top balcony, each one sur
mounted by a glowing bulb of light. Be
tween tbem and bordering the railing of
the balcony all tbe way around, were boxes
of cut snd growing flowers in great pro
fusion of color.
Two endless chains of light studded
green below the balconies looped and swung
completely around tbe immense ball, each

each trailing streamer alive with glow
lights. Prrllenf Itoom In While.
Along tbe sides on the second balcony
were tbe president's and vice president's
rooms, tbe diplomatic' rooms and forty
other rooms appropriately embellished for
public reception and promenade The presi
dent's room was draped entirely in white
tnd made beautiful with pink ribbons, white
orchids and greens. The other rooms held
to tbe all-pervading yellow, decorated with
flags, flowers and smllax. In the diplomatic
reception room the flags of all nations were
clustered and Intertwined, and lent a bril
liant background for the gorgeous uniforms
and regalia of tbe diplomatic officials.
Alongside tbe main building had been built
a large dining ball decorated in red and
white and hung with greens

WASHINGTON. March 4 One of the most
notable occurrences In the history of con
greeetOBa! legislation marked the rloslnc
1 hours of the last session of the senate cf
! the Fifty-sixth congress. Senator Carter
1 of Montana signalized his retirement from
I tbe senate after six years of brilliant serv
; ice by talking the river and harbor bill to
death He occupied the floor, construct -1
lvely. for nearly thirteen coRseratlve bear.
1 although In the aggregate about three
I hours of that time were devoted to ether
I business.
At 11:49 last night, after the senate coa
I ferees en the river and harbor bill had re
ported a disagreement, Senator Carter be
gan hit speech. Apparently In a facet ions
vela he began hi attack upen the measure,
denouncing It as vicious and pernicious
legislation, unwarranted by conditions and
unsound In principle
Shortly before S 0 clock Mr Allison sub
mitted a further disagreement on tbr sun
dry civil bill, the Item In contention bring
the appropriation for the thrrr expositions.
M. Lout Taken larr Of.
From this thr senate receded and then
passed the St Louis exposition bill. Mr.
Tillman, who has championed the appro
priation for Charleston throughout the ses
sion, made a final appeal to tbe senate to
save tbe Charleston item, butie realized
that the Missouri senators were more pow
erful than he By a vote of 38 to 10 the
senate receded from the Charleston appro
priation and the bill was passed.
Mr. Carter resumed his speech, finally
announcing, at 6'3r. that It was his Inten
tion not to permit the river and harbor
bill to become a law If his strength should
bold out nnd saying tbat at that moment
he was In excellent physical condition.
With the exception of a brief Intermission
while a quorum was being secured and a
recess of half an bour between 10:30 and
11 o'clock today. Mr. Carter Bpoke prac
tically continuously. He yielded the floor
only after tbe ceremony of the inductloa
of Vice President Roosevelt Into office bad
begun.
In retiring as the president pro tern of
the senate Mr Frye, la response to a reso
lution of thanks for his courtesy and Im
partiality, delivered a brief but feeling ad
dress to the senate
At tbe coaclusion of the session of tbe
rtfty-slxth congress Vice President Roose
velt was sworn In and immediately called
the senate of tbe Fifty-seventh congress to
order. It was a simple, but beautiful and
Impressive ceremony. The new senators
were sworn In, In groups of four. At the
conclusion of this proceeding the senate at
tended tbe inauguration of the president
cm the east front of tbe capllol.
At 1:4.. the senate returned Its cham
ber and adjourned immediately until to
morrow. Detail of tbr Srlnn.
From 10 it o'clock latt eight the senate
remained in continuous session and worked
to clear up the necessary legislation which
bad to reach tbe president lor his signature
before adjournment. The most Interesting
feature cf the session was the actioa upon
the sundry civil appropriation bill, when
early this morning the senate receded from
1 Its amendment providing for three exposi
tions, giving 15.000.000 to St. Louis, J500.000
to BuOulo and SSDO.OOO to Charleston, S. C.
Without division the motion of Senator
Allison was agreed to. It was the last re
maining item In the bill in disagreement
and It meant that all danger of an eitr
session was over.
Tbe action of tbe senate on the sundry
civil bill was followed by the senate re
ceding from the Charleston amendment to
the exposition bill, which had passed tbe
bouse as a separate measure. This action
passed tbe bill, appropriating JD. 000. 000 for
St. Louis. It was an interesting occasion.
Senator Vest of Missouri made the motion.
Though suffering from ill health, he had
remained in the senate all night to battle
for this exposition appropriation. He made
an appeal to tbe senate to pass the bill
now as a simple act of justice to St. Louis,
saying that with the utmost kindness to
ward Charleston tt was not fair to make
St. Louis suffer because the house would
not make an appropriation for the exposi
tion in South Carolina.
Till ui an .Make Appeal.
Senator Tillman, who bad made a hard
fight for Charleston, made a tpeech show
ing deep feeling. He said the legislation
which had paved the way for the St. LouU
legislation was passed In a bill last year, as
were tbe amendments from which tbe sen
ate had receded In the sundry civil bill.
The watchdogs of the bouse of representa
tives had not pounced upon this proposi
tion and defeated it. Congress, he said, bad
ajproprlated til, 000.000 for expositions and
now it was proposed to give J5.000.000 more.
His state. South Carolina, was regarded as
an outcast, a disinherited dog. lie would
leave it to thr senate whether it was Just,
fair and right to give to St. Louis tl 000,000
and deny Charleston a small JIC.0.000.
Mr. Lodge tbougat tbat Charleston ought
to be treated equally with St. Louis and
be. with Mr. Depew. was among the ten
senators who voted against the motion of
Mr. Vest. Thirty-eight senators voted for
the motion.
During the night Mr. rettlgrew created
something of a sensation by asserting that
the bill passed yesterday for the better
protection of railway employes had been
lost or stolen after it was enrolled and
signed by the speaker.
Mr. Pettigrew said that it it was lost
it was "lost on purpose."
It was later learned that thr bill bad
been found In a drawer of a desk in the
house enrolling room and tt was brought
to the senate
The persistence of Senator Butler of
North Carolina was rewarded during the
morning Dy tn. passage of a bill appropri
ating $6,000 for damages done during tbe
civil w-ar to St- John's Masonic lodge at
Newbuin, N. C. He has been fighting for
tbe bill during tbe entire session.
Plead for Clark.
Mr. Frye, president pro tern, said be bad
received a telegram from the lieutenant
governor of Montana, which he thought
should be read, and directed tbe clerk to
read it. The lieutenant governor stated
that as the presiding officer of the joint
legislative convention of Montana be wanted
te emphatically say that the election of
Hon. William A. Clark as senator from
Montana was tbe culmination of tbe ex
pressed wish of tbe people of that state
and tbat protests against Mr. Clark should
not be heeded by tbe United States senate.
Mr. Clark had been an issue In the cam
paign and his success before tbe people

WASHINGTON. March 4 -The beusc !
closed Its session at 11 4 today asasd a j
demonstration from lis tBetahers following 1
tbe delivery of an Impressive valedictory
by Speaker Henderson For an bour tbe
body bad Itch in the throes of dissolution,
with little business to perform. The gal
leries were almost empty, for there were
to many sights and scenes without the
buildiBg and toe many restrictions en ad
mission to permit an overflowing assem
blage. Here and there on tbe desks ef
members were great clusters of flowers. I
paying farewell tribute te ibeir services.
Shortly before tbe closing hour Mr. Rich,
ardson of Tennessee, the minority leader. '
presented resolutions testifying the high
regard of the house for the able, impar
tial and dignified manner In which Speaker .
Henderson bad administered the duties of 1
presiding officer. Coming from tbe ml- j
norlty, there was added significance in the
tribute. The resolutions wrrr unanimously
adopted b a rising vote. Then tbe speaker,
in slow and Impressive tones, delivered his
closing words to the house, thanking the
members for their co-operation ihrough a
busy and eventful tongren. He con
cluded at 11 4o and announced the te.ttnn
of tbe house for tbe Flfty-u:h congress j
adjourned.
Very little taterett attached to the
proceedings of the house after mid
night. Most of the time was con
sumed In reccsse, these being taken
at frequent Intervals In anticipation of con
ference reports on appropriation bills. The
bill carrying appropriations for the postal
service was finally patsed shortly after
midnight, and in tbe small boars of the
morning the sundry civil bill was finally
acted upon. This left but one of the big
supply measures the river and harbor
still unacted upon, and tbe hope that is
agreement of the conferees might be an
nounced kept many of tbe members present
until shortly before T o'clock, at which time
a recess was takes until f-50.
There were few Incidents to relieve the
dull monotony of waiting for tbe confer
ence reports. Soon after midnight the
crowds In the galleries thinned out and no;
more than a dozen persons were in evi
dence during the email hours In tbe morn
ing. The members, too, growing weary,
gradually began to leave fer their homes,
so that when 7 o'clock came probably not
100 were on hand.
A big fire in southwest Washington
shortly after midnight, which burned for aa
hour, served as a diversion for a time, and
Speaker Henderson was among tboso who
crowded tbe fcousr portico to watch it.
A general air of good fellowship pre
vailed, many jokes were cracked, stories
told and some ludicrous parliamentary In
qulries and points of order made. Tber
were no attempts at extended speech
making, although several members sought
to make brief remarks. Among these was
Mr. Otey of Virginia, who entertained tha
house in his Inimitable way.
Mr. Bartholdt of Missouri was given one.
minute to make a speech In which he ex
tended a cordial Invitation to the speakei
and the members of the house to visit the
St. Louis exposition io 190S.
The most Important action taken by tht
house after midnight, aside from that on
tbe appropriation bills, was the defeat it
the resolution reported by the rules com
mittee for tbe designation of a subcommit
tee of the insular affairs committee of the
house to visit Porto Rico, Cuba and the
Philippines to make a report on the condi
tions existing in these islands. The resolu
tion suffered defeat by the decisive vote of
129 to M.
A bill woe passed making Lowelltown.
Me., a sub-port of entry.
I.nt Hoar In thr Honr.
Mr. Richardson, the minority leader,
gained recognition and presented tbe fol
lowing resolution.
"Resolved, That the thanks of this house
are tendered to the Hon. David B. Hender
son tor the able, impartial and dignified
manner In which be has presided o-er Its
deliberations and performed tbe arduous
duties of tbe chair."
The resolution was warmly applauded.
Mr. Richardson followed with a handsome
tribute to the tpeaker and then, by a unani
mous rising vote, the resolution was
adopted.
Returning to his place tbe speaker spoVe
in earnest acknowledgment of tbe generous
honor done him. He closed with a personal
acknowledgment to every member and then,
with a resounding drop of the gavel, he
declared the house of representatives of tbe
Fifty-sixth congress adjourned.
There was a round of applause, hasty
handshakes and then the members file, over
to tbe senate to witness the ceremonies

WASHINGTON, March 4 --William Mc
Klnley is a second time president of tbe
United Stales. He was uaacrod Into that
office today In a city ablaze with mere and
finer decorations tbaa ever have graced
the holiday loving national capital, whose
streets today resounded to the tread at
more marching scldlers aad sailors than
have ever participated In a like occasion
and bad as witnesses for tbr eerrntenles
a vast multitude, who cheered frequently
and loudly whenever be or bis vice presi
dential colleague appeared.
There has been better weather oa Inaugu
ration days and there has been much worse
thtn that which attended today's cere
monies. Tbe day In the r!) forenoon
gave promise of bring a golden spring day,
such as Prof. Moore, the chief of the
weather bureau, last night very confidently
and with much emphasis predicted, but the
weather was in a capricious mood and by
noon a slow drizzle had begun that lastrti
with somr Intermissions and an occasional
lively downpour until late In the after
noon. Wrnlhrr ot a lromlrd.
The worst of the wet weather -unfortunately
came Just at the time President Mc
Klnley was being Inducted Into office on tbt
east front of the capitol in the presence of
a crowd estimated to number 40,000 per
rons, but the air was mild and pleasant
and the day ended with dry weather, so that
as stated, there have been many worse
inauguration days thtn this. Garfield was
Inaugurated In a storm, Harrison in a cold
rain that deluged tbr city from dawn until
dark, and Cleveland took tbr oath at his
second inaugural before 10.000 cheering
people In a fierce gale with the snow beat
ing down upon his bare head. Today's
downpour at the rnest Interesting point of
tbe proceedings, while tbe oath was being
administered on the east front of the capi
tol. again brought forward the agitation

t'nrrrtaluty nf .MarrJi Weather.
It wos.oa April So thaf George Washing-,
ton took the first oath to the hlgheu oce
known to man. and today's experience was
a commentary on the uncertainty of March
weather. The day could not have promised
better than It did In the early forenoon.
The air was soft and balmy and a light
southern breeze was blowing, but It was
a gray day; leaden clouds drifted across
leaden skies; a leaJen shaft pierced the sK
where a mow-white shaft to Washington
used to stand, and In the distance a leaden
stream rolled where formerly was tbe silver
Potomac. But tbe weather sharp was cer
tain He used no "lfs" or "buts." 1I
staked bis honor on blue skies and biasing
sun and tbe multitude pinned their faith to
him. Everything presaged tbe greatest
pageant in the history of inaugurations.
Aft In 'lft.
Had a man been on top of the dome of
the capitol, Washington must have looked
as It did in the spring of 1SGS. when the
victorious armies and tbe multitude, be
hind and with tbem. gathered here for tbe
grand review. Off to tbr south, on the
broad bosom of the Potomac, sis warships,
one of them tbe historic Hartford, Admiral
Farragut's flagship at the battle of Mobile
boy. rode at anchor. From every direction
long, winding trains were coming Into the
city to pour tbelr human freight Into tbe
already seething caldron. In the maze of
choked streets spread out between squares
of moving humanity, gun barrels gleamed,
banners, flags and transparencies rose above
compact masses of men, and gorgeous
tands. checks of color, drifted here nnd
there and everywhere, tbe shifting multi
tude so closely packed that the ground
seemed fairly alive. Penntylvanla avenue,
dec-orated with miles of bunting and with
thousands of flags trembling and fluttering
In the gentle breeze, was lined with an Im
penetrable mass of people so early that -o
one pretended to have arisen In time to
say when they began swarming to their
I laces. They surged up and down bo'h
sides of the bfautlful avenue, overflowed
the terraced stands and balconies, walled
In tbe windows and fringed the roofs
while blaring bands, clear-drawn bug1
calls and aides told of tbe military march
ing into the tangle of .streets to take tbelr
places In tbe grand procession.
Greater Crowd Than ISvcr Before.
Tbe Influence of the greatest multitude
that ever invaded tbe city overshadowed
all the pageantry and most Impressed tbe
mind
Washington bad decked herself as never
before for the second inauguration of Mc
Klnley snd tbe Induction into the vice pres
idency of Theodore Roosevelt. She has been
many times a bride. Today the was truly
regal for her twice-accepted lord. She was
drcstod like a queen. Tbe committee in
charge had Insisted upon uniform and har
monious decorations. The scheme was su
perb and it was admirably executed.
The gem of it all was the eiourt of honor,

seated, wt lie otter columnr ran In a semi
circle through the White House grounds
It was as beautiful as the netting in a the
