WASHINGTON. March 4.-Ater two years of almost continuous session, the sixty-third congress, which revis, ed the tariff and the currency sys tem of the? nation, supplemented the trust laws, crested an income tax and demonstrated he first popular elecUon 'of United States senators, ended at noon today. When gavels fell In the house and senate signalising the adjournment they marked the close of half of President Wilson's administration, tho first v.mlcr domination of the Demo cratic party aluce 1895. Strenuous scenes enlivened the fad ing hours devoted chiefly to complet ing the appropriations for subsistence of the government. Two Important measures, the postoffice und Indian supply bille, failed In the final legis, lat? ve crush sf tar desperate efforts had been mide to save them. In tho . ^.??wn>w> rftigrirfraf Af??ViW ajWj uro joint resolutions were passed and } signed by* the president continuing in force appropriations of the present yeir. Willie tired senators and represen, tatives 'were devoting their energies to final essentials. President Wilson spent more than an .hour In his room at the capitol, surrounded by his cab inet, Signing the last fruits of legisla, tlon. The president found tune in-the ro't?st of this task to greet sensors ?md represenstives and he made the oojcsslon entirely one of congratula tion, making no reference to projects which asd failed. Scores ot members ot both bouses tonight left Washington, taking with them assurances that np extra, session ot congress would be called, at least before fall. Despite the fact that many important bills failed of conr'.u bratlon because ot the long filibuster against the ship purchase bill lt, was generally understood congress would bc given a rest and the country a re . spit* <r*m legislation.

What the general assembly passed and agreed upon af ter mature deliberation and what is stipulated tn the journal as being the law is not in the act that has been ratified. The whole trouble is that the senate bill which was agreed . upon and ought to be the text of tbe rutifted act is not In the file that ls on record with the secretary of state.

Strange ?a lt may appear, there, prominently tn the fl e of papers of the original r?cord IB a manuscript report of the tree conference com mittee which shows that the amend ment was agreed' tb, and the senate amendment was an entirely new and complete bill. The. main fact ls that the provision for the board ot review which was to have been composed of seven mem bers, appointed by the governor, was left out ot the bill by, the engrossing department through, an error, and this board of review cann.it be appointed: The bill as amended in the senate and agreed to by the house increased the salary of the chairman of the tax commission from S2.G00 to 82,500 a year.

The RUB siana continue their progreas against the Germans in North Poland, and, according to their official report, are pursuing und capturing many of the retreating Austtiana lu eastern Gal icia and are repulsing with r/avy losBeB persistent day and night at tacha of the 'fermante allies tn the Carpathians. They by no means have, disposed, however, of any. of the force opposing them. It ia the same with the allied fleet in the Dardanelles: In their bombard ment -the warships hsve msde unex pectedly good progress but they still hsVa the moBt strongly fortified part of the straits to get through. Along the western front the French continue their attacks in Champagne and the Argonne, but beyond these the only movement of consequence has been made north of Arras, where the Germana captured a newly con? structed French trench. Battlea In Ufe east and for posses rlon of the Dardanelles are considered to' have a marked bearing on the fu ture of the war. Having pressed the Gormans back from Prxasnyss to warrie nf lava, the Russians are now exerting their efforts. -md, according lo their own account* successfully, to: drive them back in the district tart lier to the north, from west of Kovno to west of Grodno, snd st the same time from in front of Lom sa. These movements, if successful, might force the Germans to withdraw from j in front of Gttsuwei?, which fortress. they continue tc bombard with their heavy guns. The Austrians continu? their fierce . attacks under most disadvantageous ' conditions, owing to the snow and cold, against the Russian entrench- j, menta in the Carpathians, while an-I other ci their armies, confronted with } strong Russian reinforcements, j s. falling back In eastern Oalicla.

All food and all supplies are brought from England, while th? French bloops are thriving by se?!ln$ English luxuries to the troops, The French are learning to say "top dog."

One ls surprised at the excellence of the aeroplane service, when lt ts real ized that the corps is only three years old. This is not due to the superior (lying of the British airmen, but to the thoroughness ot their equipment and mechanical department 'and the pro aigality of the expenditure for all nec essary assistance sad resources. Everything hut the actuar manufac ture of the engines is being don? at the front. The British aviator seems keenly to enjoy the maneuvers and tho chance to chase ga encniy machine. The official medical corps rjtowed the correspondent charts ot the sick ness among the soldiers which ls lesa than that among the troops at home, lesplte Ute strain the meo are under when they take their turns in the renclies. This is due tb the giving tn the men of all the wholesome food they can eat and plenty of exercise when they are out of the trenches and informing all sanitary regulations sith the strictest discipline.
