It met in Washington, DC from March 4, 1899, to March 4, 1901, during the third and fourth years of William McKinley's presidency. The apportionment of seats in this House of Representatives was based on the Eleventh Census of the United States in 1890. Both chambers had a Republican majority. There was one African-American member, George Henry White of North Carolina, who served his second and final term as a Representative in this Congress, and would be the last black member of Congress until 1928, and the last black member of Congress from the South until 1972. {{TOC limit|2}}Major events{{Main article|1899 in the United States|1900 in the United States|1901 in the United States}}- June 2, 1899: The Filipino Rebellion began the Philippine–American War.
