Proceedings.
PROBABILITIES As 70 ADJOURNMENT.
Transfer Of the Indian Bureau to
the War Department.
WASHINGTON, May IS

The shape in which the Army oil
will go to the Senate, and the vote Of
that body yesterday, in p~ostponing the
I consideration Of the Legislative and
Executive Appropriation bill, in order
to continue the financial discussion, to
gether with the backward condition OF
the other Appropriation bills, aud the
absolute necessity of either providing
for the payment Of the Fish Commits
siou's award, before the final adjourn
ment, or returning under a call OF the
President for that purpose before next
November, have combined to make
the termination of the session at so
early a date as June 10Th impossible.
The Senate resolution pro
posing adjournment at that date Will
come up for action by the House to-
morrow. and the Democrats intend to
caucus ON the subject this evening. a
determination viii probably be reached
again to postpone action upon the reso-
luton, and very possibly to let it go
over beyond June l0tt and thu eX
pire without action, for many members
argue that it would be unwise to place
the House in the power OF II Senate
by returning the resolution with an
amendment providing for final ad-
journment on any fixed day, no mat
ter how distant, as they do not know
what contingencies may arise to make
an indefinite p~rolongation of the Sen
ate desirable in a party point Of view.
On the whole, however, the general
opinion points 10 "a final adjournment
not later than the first of July.
