AMERICAN SENATE
RUSH OF LEGISLATION.
SIX MONTHS' SESSION ENDED. (Per Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 9.15 a.m.) WASHINGTON, June 7. Congress ended its six months' session automatically at 7 o'clock tonight. Senators and Representatives fought a last desperate battle to relieve the farmers. Many measures, including a Bill authorising the construction of cruisers, modernising battleships, and a Deficiency Appropriation Bill, carrying funds to begin the operation of the bonus law and other purposes failed in the final crush of legislation A special resolution was passed in the last five minutes by the House to« make the bonus appropriation available. This was lost in the Senate. Republican leaders declare that only a special session of Congress could provide funds for the initial costs of the bonus.
