AS TO ADJsURSAENr.
The question oladjourument is discusaed
agood deal jus: now. Whether Congress
will decide 10 sit until after the Demo.
cratic Convention Is uncertain. Should

poser 1t is expected that the Senate will
return the compliment by rf,sing 10 ad.
journ until the Republicans get a crack at
candidates.. Nobody th;Lko that Congress
il going TO accomplish auythi * more than
