AN ADJOURNMENT TODAY.

THE PRESIDENT RECEIVES PLENTY OF
ASSURANCES OF THE DEMOCRATS
POSITION.
WASHINGTON, June 30.-The ad-
journment of Congress was prevented by
an objection made under the rule by Mr..
Window to the Senate's consideration of
the House resolution fixing o'clock this
afternoon as the hour. The objection
was made simply that the Republicans
might go upon the record as exerting all
the expedients at their command to pro-
cure an appropriation for the United
States marshals and their deputies. This
was in effect Mr.. WINDOWS avowal when
he interposed the objection, coupling it
with the remark that he hoped the Dem
ocrats would sleep upon the veto mes
sage and tomorrow agree to do as the
Republicans and the President wanted
them to. Later in the day it was de-
veloped what the President meant when
he told your correspondent last evening
that he would wait until to-day before
deciding whether or not to reconvene
Congress Immediately on its adjourn
ment, and that if he had the proper as
SUI ances he would call another session,
and if not he would permit the issue to
rest as it is. The method taken to get at
the feeling of the majority and to ascer-
tain if the assurances could be had was
to introduce the Appropriation bill with
out the restriction.
In the Senate the bill was introduced
by Senator Window. As the Senate
has no power TO originate an appropria-
tion bill, it IS very evident that the meas
ure was brought in simply to test the
sense of the Senate and whether the ma
jority of that body conld be relied upon
To pass the bill should an extra session
be immed ately called. At once All
amendment embodying the restrictive
provis on of the vetoed bill was offered
and adopted, every Democrat voting for
it. Mr.. Eaton then moved to indefinate-
ly postpone the bill, neatly turning the
tables upon Mr.. Window by remalking
Z at the President and Republicans
might sleep on that. The President was
At the Capitol with his Cabinet for {
couple of hours waiting to sign the bill
: passed at the last moment, and urged
: Mr.. Window to withdraw his objection
= and permit Congress to adjourn. IL
had evidently received all the assurance
e he desired. Mr.. Window consented ,bu
e a poll of the Republican Senators wa
Is taken and it was discovered that Conl
:. ling, -4sgap and some other anti-Admir
~ istration Senators stood ready to rene'
ef the objection as soon as it was will
D. drawn. So the adjournment was left I
,d it wac aud the resolution went over III
til tomorrow.
io In the House the veto message was r
ur ceived almost as soon as Congress asser
i'll bied and was read at the expiration
ne the morning hour. All the rest OF d
day was taken up with the passage
NY bills, good deal of business bel
lth transacted. The Senate in the me
es. time had gone into executive session a

that the objection would be WITHDRAW
