CONGRESS IS OVES Session Adjourned Saturday At Midnight TIRED MEMBERS GO HOME NOW Last Day in Senate Proves to Be a Bnsy One, Many Important Bills Being Rushed Through - Aldrich Vreeland Emergency Currency Bil] Passes by a Vote of 43 to 22. Washington, Special.-Just ten minute?, officially, before the hands of the big round clock in the cham ber of the two houses of Congress pointed to the hour of midnight the first session of the Sixtieth Congress came to a close. In the House the closing hours were characterized by singing of songs by Republicans in honor of Speaker Cannon, and by Democrats in the interest bf William J. Bryan. The excitement which was great at times finally subsided and the session closed with general good fellowship among the members. The Senate was extremely quiet during the closing hours, held together only by the necessity of remaining in ses sion for the engrossing and signing of bills. The last days of thc Senate will be memorable on account of the filibus ter of Messrs. LaFollette, Stone and Gore against the emergency currency bill, by the remarkable interpreta tions of the rules which go far to establish cloture in a body note worthy for the freedom of debate, and by the final passage of the cur rency bill. President Roosevelt and several of his cabinet were at the Capitol during the evening. The President shortly before 10 o'clock signed the compromiso cur rency bill and presented the pen he used in affixing his signature to Rep resentative "Wilson, of Chicago. At 9:55 p. m. committees from both houses waited upon the Presi dent and informed him that Congress was ready to adjourn. They report ed that they had performed the duty and that the President said he had no further communication to make. Previous to his signature to the currency bill the President had hand ed it to Secretary Cortelyou, who carefully read its provisions. Two other members of thc Cabinet were present-Secretaries Root and Gar field. The President in conversing with several Senators told then: that he was very well satisfied with the accomplishments of the congressional session. An hour after his arrical at the Capitol, the President had signed all the bills placed before him, including the-pubfic 'buildings, the general de ficiency and the government em ployes' liability bills. The President applied a "pocket veto" to the bill to compensate in ventors for inventions used by the government. Last Day in House. "Washington, Special.-Having con cluded its labors for the session the House Saturday night shortly after 9 o'clock adopted a resolution to ad journ sine die at 10 minutes before midnight. The news that the cur rency bill had passed the Senate quickly reached the House and evok ed great applause. From that time on business moved with a rapidity that signified a speedy termination of the first session of the Sixtieth Congress. The cenfcrcnce report on the public buildings bill, which had been held up pending action on the currency question, was quickly brought out and agreed to. This ac tion was immediately followed by the adoption of thc conference report on the general deficiency bill, thus clear ing the decks of all important pend ing legislation. Just before adjourning Mi-. Tawney gave a resume of the work of the ses sion. Mr. Tawney stated the tola! appropriations for the session to be $S51,0SS,G07. H* said the total rev enues of thc &?v'criiihent estimated to Congress by the Secretary of the Treasury, are placed at $S7S,123,011 ; that in addition to the authorized ex penditures of $S51,0SS,0'07 for the operation of the government during the next fiscal year, appropriations are also made as follows: Deficiency acts, exclusive of $12,466,750 for pub lic buildings authorized at this ses sion, $44,529,223; for requirements of the sinking fund $53,000.000; for redemption of national bank notes $25,000,000; for construction of (he Panama canal (bonds to bc issued) $29,187,000; for miscellaneous and special objects. $1,000,000, including $250,000 for the relief of storm and flood sufferers in Southern States, and $403,000 for the payment of claims of the Roman Catholic church in thc Philippine Islands; making a grand aggregation for the next fiscal year of $l,0OS,S04,S94.

C. - Preparations have been completed by the War De partment for joint maneuvres during the coming summer of all branches of the regular service and many State militia organizations, for which Con gress has appropriated $1,000,000. Instruction camps will be established and maneuvres held for one month at each place, as follows: Pine Plains, N. Y., June 15 lo July 15. Chickamauga Park, Ga.. July. Leon Springs, Texas, July. American Lake, Wash., August. Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo., August. Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind., Sep tember. Fort Riley, Kan., September. Atascadero Ranch, Cal., October. The army maneuvres, which are to be on a scale never before attempted in the United States, are to be car ried out by Major-General Frederick D. Grant with the regulars of the De partment of the East and a large force of militia. The operations, says Gen eral Grant, will includemore men and cover wider territory than any pre vious, and, as far as can be, they will offer au approximation of warfare. The plan of campaign includes two separate series of operations, the first on the coast, the second inland. A series of coast defense maneuvres will be carried on simultaneously at the various fortifications from Baltimore to Boston. After four weeks of this coast defense practice, the comman der believes, the troops, both regulars and national guards, will be thor oughly seasoned to powder, while the officers will haya gained great famil iarity with the particular styles ot maneuvre involved, and the chiefs in command will have plenty of valu able records as to" the performances of the troops and the. efficiency of the individ-ucl-officersr-r A monta or more later will come the inland maneuvres.

He is about .to work out theories regarding child cukure that te hopes and intends will result in the material benefit of the human race. To a World correspond ent he said: "There are four steps In evolution ary development which are true in both the human and plant life. Bur bank recognizes the gradations in his plant work, *as did Stanford in the breeding of fine horse stock. Even Eo, they figure in the human race in the development of children. "These four steps or gradations are as follows: First, variation; sec ond, sex crossing to carry on the qualities by heredity; third, selec tion, and fourth, cultivation and de velopment. "'Dr. Jordan, president of Stanford University, recognizes these same steps in a recent work. "As far as concerns the first two steps in evolutionary development, those called variation and crossing, they have been attended to already," explained Dr. Landone. Xo Artificial Marriages. "This country of ours is the most crossed, as far as races go, of any nationality on the face of the globe. We simply take the best representa tives of child life in the land and work with them. "Any effort along the line of arti- | ricial marriage is a failure, since true marriage is where each party to the contract is honestly in love with the other freely and of his or her own ac cord. The offspring of an artificial marriage would be a failure. "i will select ten to twelve children from various parts of the United States for each of the first two or three years, and iu these children 1 will seek to develop thc best there is in them. "The basis of my system of educa tion for these children will be in the reconstruction of structure. The com mon way of changing a child who has Eccentric Recluse Left President Roosevelt $10,000.

Troops of the department from many posts, some as far as Washing ton, D. C., will be marched so as to arrive at Pine Plains, near Water town, N. Y., within , three hours of each other. Large evolutions will then ba carried out on much the same scale as in modern war. In introducing his plans General Grant began with a plain word or two on preparation for war. "We are the most pugnacious na tion on earth," he said, "and perhaps the least prepared for real trouble." He did not believe that "In God We Trust" was a good enough motto to excuse lack of military preparation. He went on to say: "? am preparing seacoast Eianeu vres for this summer to show how our big guns could knock out any for eign fleet that might come poking around with evil intentions." The absence of the battleship squadron in the Pacific has led, it is understood, to the attaching of much more importance in Washington this year to the maneuvres centring about the coast defenses of the Atlantic sea board. Orders issued governing details of the maneuvres prescribe a "minimum of formal ceremonies and a total ab sence of merely spectacular exhibi tions." Practice marches have been ordered, in which infantry will cover 200 miles and cavalry 250 miles. The exercises will be carried out in a pro gressive manner, beginning with small bodies of troops and ending with the entire command. These ex ercises will comprise periods of at tack and defense; periods of advance; rear and flank guards, and control work; periods of outposts and control work, to be followed by general man euvres.

Then it is easy enough for the child to pick up its old habits, although it may have reformed temporarily. "With my system the entire struc ture is changed. It is a different structure entirely, and the child in order to get back into its old habits must not merely 'backslide,' but build back. Do you catch the essential dif ference between the two? "I will have four departments in my school this year. The first will be art, with special attention to music and sculpture; the second, therapeu tic curing of incurable diseases, like spinal troubles, particularly; the third, remedying backward children who are deficient in some of the senses, as in color perception or in not hearing accurately, while the fourth will be the selection of those dozen children whom I will choose this summer, and the educating of them along the lines given in my spe cial educational system. "These particular twelve I will ed ucate free of charge; the other pupils [ will charge for, as in other institu tions of educational character. Methods Will Be Radical. "My methods of work with these children will differ radically from the ordinary methods of teaching. For instance, you have observed, doubt less, many a man in the business world whose school training didn't extend beyond the seventh or eighth grade perhaps, but whose mental pro cesses and accordingly whose busi ness methods were on a better plan and were much better systematized than those of the man who had had more years of school and college training. "Now, when he was a child that man of little training but of excellent ability would have been the child we would choose for our school." Dr. Lando;:e has been connected with settlement work in New York City, the South End of Eoston, Phila delphia and Chicago. He studied abroad at Padua, the University of Paris, at two or three English insti tutions of learning and for three months was a companion and pupil of Herbert Spencer.

HARLlflG At The Farmers LIQUOR MED OUT North Carolina Votes Dry By a Very Large Majority ONLY SEVENTEEN COUNTIES WET Estimated That Majority Against Liquor Will be From 30,000 tc 40,000. Raleigh, N. C., Special.-The sec ond election on state prohibition was held, resulting in a sweeping victory with a larger majority than State Anti-Saloon League chairman John A. Oates, expected. It was thought there wood be a large stay at home vote on btoh sides, but there was a great turn out. The ballots were "for or against the manufacture and sale of liquor." Both sides had worked from Janu ary to poll closing. The anti-prohi bitionists made their greatest efforts in about twenty of the large coun-. ties and in these spent money freely. Ir'was noticed ^in this county ' that some republicans worked against pro hibition in order to get democratic support later. The day's great, victory was in sharp contrast to the crushing defeat in ISSI when the first election was held. Then the whites divided and ne groes voted so solidly against prohi bition that the saloon majority was practically the negro vote. Very few negroes voted this time., and of these perhaps a majority voted the dry ticket. It had been roughly calcul?t ed at anti-saloon headquarters that not over twenty counties of the ninety-eight could be carried by the wets. The wets went to thc polls early by direction of their state chairman, Mayor A. H. Boyden, of Salisbury. The latter's own city, however, went dry by 13S majority. It is the main center of the liquor traffic in the state. Raleigh went dry by a small majority. The mountain coun ties cast a great vote for prohibition. Governor Glenn and Judge Pritch ard, the two chief speakers-demo cratic and republican-carried their home counties handsomely. There were prayers by women in many churches, some churches here and elsewhere being open all day. The women of Fredericksburg, Va., also offered special prayers for victory. The anti-prohibitionists had claimed the state, but never gave figures. The estimates of thc prohibition ists ranged from ten to sixty thous and, Chairman Oates, Governor Glenn and Judge Pritchard making esti mates around forty thousand. There had been two doubtful factors-thc rural vote and the stay-at-home voters. The saloon and dispensaries in the state will all does December 31, un der the law. Big Immigration Project.
