democrats will hold a caucus tomorrow
to consider the subject Of adjournment,

Be taken into consideration. From the
opinions expressed by members to-day
tits likely that when the resolution Tor
adjournment comes up in the House ON
"Wednesday Its consideration Will DE
postponed for week or ten days longer.
M embers who advocate the postpone
ment say that it is best not to pass the

nm and agree to it, if the business is in
the condition to warrant it, at any time
prior to the hour of Eoon on the 10th

Since the passage by the House OF
Representatives of the resolution to in

very strong pressure has been brought

him to make at least partial re-
organization of his cabinet. The two

publicans are Messrs. Schurz and Key.
Mr.. Evarts has not been particularly ac-
