Last Day of Congress Ends All Major Bills
Washington clerks report an all day and all night session as the Fifty-fifth congress adjourned. Senate members faced heavy strain amid confusion while House members hurried to complete the army and deficiency appropriations and river and harbor measures before adjournment. The day featured executive sessions on naval nominations, including Schley and Sampson, and final passage of the river and harbor bill with reservoirs at river headwaters.
