MINOR MATTERS.

Adjournment Delayed by the Houses Not
Working In Harmony.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 14-It now looks as
though Congress would not adjourn bsfore the
end of the FIRST week in August For three or
four weeks the complications in either house
have grown rapidly. and each day seemed to
postpone the end a week longer. Instead Of de-
creasing the time the work accomplished seemed
to make the final Completion more irksome The
House has not worked with view 10 an early
adjournment and has not desired it. Now that
the Senate has the bulk of the burden on its
shoulders it cannot hasten. Everybody sees
the necessity now for more united action be-
tween the two houses in the future Hereto
fore there has been independents action. Neither
branch has consulted the other. and delays have
followed re-work. 1t is pretty mess.
