ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.
rhe Shape In which Ii Ku-Klu1 Bill
was Passed,

WASHINGTON, April 20.
The Senate adopted the Ku.Klux conference
report.b BY thlrty-six to thirteen, Robertson and
Hlll voting nay, and adopted a resolution to
adjourn sine. de at 2 O'Clock.
Deprecating concessions, Sherman said not
one offender would be convicted under the
Ku-Klux bill, not q dollar damages would be
obtained under it. The only virtue left in'the
bill was the employment Of the United States
forces when necessary.
Thurman, opposing the juror test oath
clause, said their selection would depend upon
the Judge and district attorney. 1t excludes
from jury service the encouragement OF the
United States, senators on the floor, andmapy
others now in high public position.
The House adopted the Ku.Klu1 bill by o
strict party vote Of 50 TO n. The House also
concurrcd in the resolution to adjourn sine die
at 2 O'Clock to-day.
The following is the substitute for Sherman's
amendment as passed ''That any rerson Or
persons having knowledge that any OF the
wrongs conspired to be lone and mentioned
In the second section Of this act are about to
be committed, and having power to prevent Or
aid in preventing the same shall neglect or re-
fuse to do, and such wrongful act shall be
committed, such person OF persons shall be
liable to the person Injured, or his legal repre-
sentaiyes,. for all damages caused byiahy
such wrongful act, which such first named
person or persons by reasonable diligence
could have prevented; and such damages may
be recovered in an action on the ease in
the proper Circuit Court Of the United States,
and any number OF persons guilty OF such
wrongful neglect or refusal, may be joiaed as
defendants in such action Provided, That
such action shall be commenced within one
wear after such cause Of action shall have &C.
Cured. And If the death of any person shall
be caused by any such wrongful acts and ne
glect, the legal representatives Of such deceas-
ed person shall have such action therefor, and
may recover not exceeding five thousand dol
lars damages therein for the benefit Of the
| widow Of such deceased person, if any there
