cans has been called for tomorrow
morning, which, il is thought, will
determine the much mooted Question
of adjournment, and the consequent
policy on the Presidential impeach-
ment. Many Of the Senators express
themselves us firmly opposed to any
adjournment that will carry the ses-
sion into the summer months, or en-
courage the expectation that impeach-
ment proceedings were to be COM
menced III earnest. Should this be
the result Of the caucus action, us is
most probable it will be-there will
be determined effort on the part of
some Of the members of the House
to prevent its beingcarried into effect.
\ prominent member was heard to
remark, yesterday, to Il Senator. that
the House would 80 for the adjourn
ment to next fall, should the Senate
suggest such action. \ remark of
Senator Wilson, this evening, at the
Congressional temperance meeting,
indicated such an understanding. He
said he hoped that they would have
one more opportunity to meet again,
though It was impossible to say how
soon the adjournment would take
place. There are large number of
nominations that the Senate will be
able easily to dispose of this week,
after which, it is thought, it will be
impossible to hold them longer. The
new business introduced is Of an un-
important character.
