WASHINGTON, D. c., April &C.
DOUBTFUL fRuMBULL.
There is considerable talk to-day over the fact
that Senator Trumbull attended caucus of re.
publican senator's to arrange business last evea
ming. 1t is said that bis speech in New York
committed him so thoroughly to the Cincinnati
movement, that it is improper for him to par
ticipate in republican caucus, Trumbulps
friends, however, say that he has not left the re-
publican party, and that it remains to be seen
whether he will do so or not. They urge that it
is not yet certain that the Cincinnati convention
will make any nominations and If it does not,
of course Mr.. Trumbull's party relations are not
changed. 1t is the general understanding, how
ever, that those senators who, after the Cincinnati
convention meets, shall come out openly in Sup
port Of the ticket there nominated, will no
longer be regarded as orthodox republicans;
and they will not be admitted to the party eau
euses. 1t is also expected that in the arrange
ment of the committees next December such
senators will be set down with the opposition.
GiDDINGsvs VS.. CLARKE.
The house committee Of elections this morning
unanimously refused an extension of time to
Clarke of Texas for the taking of testimony In
his contest This decision probably gives the
seat to diddings, the democratic contestant, for
Clarke has no legal testimony before the COM
mittee except such as he obtained in the cross
examination of Giddings' witnesses. The COM
mittee ordered the hearing of the case on its
merits on Monday next, and it is evident that
they are determined to decide the case promptly,
ADJOURNMENT PROSPECTS,
To-day is the first really warm day of the
season, ami IL has made number of converts
to an early adjournment. 1t is said that de-
decided majority of the house are in favor of pass
ing the senate adjournment resolution; and
that it will be done on Monday. The house evil
IDENTIFY is bent on attempting something of the
sort, but how-wth the tax bill untouched
anybody can expect to close the session next
month, passes comprehension. The extreme
proteCtonists think it will be done by emitting
to revise the tariff at all, but the republican
leaders will hardly venture into the presidential
campaign without a wise revision of portions
of the existing tariff.
The senate French arms committee met to-
day to arrange in regard to a report. There
| ity report. 1t is somewhat doubtful if much
debate will be allowed in the reports. In fact,
it is impossible, if congress is to adjourn early.
| If no limit is placed on the discussion, it will
easily run ten days, but if the house should pass
the senate adjournment resolution, the subject
would not be permitted to occupy more than a
| day Or two.
A vigorous attempt will be made in the house
when the tariff bill comes up, to limit general
| debate to two or three days. If this fails, and
the majority insist upon much longer time, it
is believed that Mr. Dawes win take it as an in
dication either that the majority are willing to
let the bill fail or are willing to remain here till
July, in order to give it the careful consideration
which it deserves. SAM WELLER
