THE ADJOURNMENT QUESTION.
fHE ADMINISTRATION MEN EXCITED-AFRAID TO
GO AND AFRAID TO STAY.

GO AND AFRAID TO STAY.
10y TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNBl
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Administra-
zion Senators are in great trouble over the adj
tournment question. Two months ago ana more
they passed a resolution, prepared in secret eau
GUS TO which the Liberal Republicans were not
invited, fixing the day Of adjournment on the 2sth
Of May. The resolution was opposed by Messrs.
eohurE, Sumner, Trumbull, and others, and all
Eorls OF amendments were offered, but those
who wore the Administration collar sat still
An their seats and made no speeches, except
Conkling who called question" 20 or 80 times. Then
the Administration was anxious 10 get Congress away
from Washington before the Philadelphia Convention,
in order that no political discussions upon the action of
that Convention should be held in either House Hav
ing passed that resolution the Senate,
instead Of going to work in earnest, spent
DAYS and weeks on Tariff bill which
they knew that the House would not accept; in defeat
ing Amnesty and Civil Rights bills; in putting the Nor
r amendment upon the Deficiency bill, TO be defeated
Al Conference Committee, and in passing Supplement
tary Election law that everybody knows will fail in the
House The result that the business Of the session is
far behind the Senate and, in the meantime politics
have taken such turn that the Administration
fears more to let the members of Congress
home, minee with their constituents, and learn how
pe gS1s ssh ooe 1Hs al
though great many OF the Republicans In the House
would publicly pronounce for the Cincinnati ticket and
this would have an influence the Baltimore CoDven-
ton disastrous 10 Grant The great question now is
therefore how prevent early adjournment, 10
get through the bill extending the Ku-Klux law until
after the election.
The House now holds the key Of the situation It can
pass the senates 10th Of May resolution any day.
Immediately becomes law. But the Administration
majority in the Senate don't want 1t passed. and they
don't remain where it has any chance Of pass
ing. IWhen the House resolution fixing the day of
adjournment the 9th OF June was received in the
Senate, this morning II was at once referred 70 the
Finance Committee where 1t Is Likely TO remain for the
resolution asking the House TO return the sent to
them by the Senate Remaining that he desired that the
Senate should have the question of adjournment entirely
at its own disposal. This the House will not
be likely 20 do, II the vote Yesterday can
be taken indication. It is reported
here tonight that some Of the Administration Senator's
anticipating this refusal contemplating DELAYING the
business Of the session still further, that day
Of adjournment some OF the important appropriation
bills will have been acted upon and special Sum-
session OF Congress will be made necessary IL is
KIND.

RELIGIOUS TOIERATION IN JAPAN.
WASHINGTON, May IA dispatch from Yo-
johanna Japan. dated April o. GAYS:

BY an Imperial decree the Tenno OF Japan has abol-
ished all edics directed against Christianity which have
been In force for three centuries This Ii the vol
untary act Of generous and enlightened sovereign
scrupulousy regarding the interests and safety OF his
people, resents any foreign dcaon touching the inter-
nal affairs Of his empire, but willingly aspires TO LEAD
them In his own way rapidly consistent with the
nature OF radical changes toward the full Dement'S OF
civilization uniform with that Of scientifically developed
natioss This result has been delayed by frequent EN-
barrassments which the Government encountered rom
the persistent interference Of certain foreign mission
aries who baptized criminals convicted OF
Infamous crimes and then attempted TO avert inst pun
ishment under the laws by raising cries OF Christian
persecution and invoking foreign interference IL
Hoped nothing Of the sort will occur again.
