TO ADJOURN TOMORROW.
CONGRESS FIXES A DATE AT LAST.
THE SENATE TAKES THE INITIATIVE AND THE
HOUSE QUICKLY AND GLADLY CONCURS.
III TELEGRAPH r. vHk rl.sBuHrl1


IsI TELEGRAPH rc rHk rARUNlJ
Washington Oct. Is.-Congress is to adjourn
sine die Saturday. Owing to information that
Senator Brown, Of Georgia. would raise the ques-
ton Of quorum If the resolution for recess
should be pressed. Mr. Allison to-day consented
to allow the Georgia Senator to offer substitute
which provides for an adjournment at p m on
October 90. The only votes against the substitute
were on the Republican side. All the Democrats
voted for il. Saturday was fixed in order 10
give the President time to examine and approve
or disapprove the General Deficiency bill ana
several other important measures upon which he
has not vet acted.
OF course Senator Cockrel had to indulge in
some rant about the insincerity of the Republicans
in dealing with the tariff. lie asserted that the
Finance Committee had spent more time In the
preparation of the substitute than any previous
committee had ever spent in the ehDorauhS Oh
tariff BILL and he became furious when MS atten,
ton was called to the amount of time consumed
by the WAYS and Means Committee ana the House
in the preparation and consideration OF the DARK
Lantern" mOnsIosity, which is neither revision
Of the tariff or a measure to reduce the revenue.
The House agreed to the resolution after long
and bitter debate. none of which bore on the
resolution. if exception be made IN favor OF the
capital speech in which Mr.. Peters, OF Kansas,
exhibited in their true light the shortcomings, the
sins of omission and commission OF the incapable
majority which controls that body under the
dictaton of President Cleveland.
Some of the Democrats profess to feel jubilant,
and proclaim that they have put the Senate In
a hole hy forcing it to initiate action looking to
an adjournment. Every sensible man knows
better. The Democratic majority in the House
dswdled for months and did not send its tariff
monstrositv to the Senate until late in the last
week of July-long after the heats of midsummer
had begun the work of Congressional disintegra-
ton. Some of the big appropriation bills were
not passed until a later date. and one OF them
is still in the hands of the President 1t was
passed by the House long after that body ceased
to have Constitutional quorum.
Despite the vicious inertia and culpable pro-
crastination of the House, the Republican Senate
has done its best to meet the demand for revision
of the tariff and reduction of the revenues.
True to its instincts. determination to rule or
ruin. the Democratic House. under the influence
Of the Administration. has prevented any action
For the failure to pass tariff bill at this session
the Democratic party, by its representatives IN
the White House and in Congress, is directly and
solely responsible.

MR.. ALDRICH EXPOSES DECEPTION.
TABLES ATTACKING THE SENATE SUBSTITUTE

RIDDLED BY THE sen ATOK.
Washington, Oct 10 (SpecaD.-After the experience
of to-day in the Senate the anxiety OF the Democrats
for an adjournment in preference to recess or to
continued session is easily explained Robbed by
the untmely Illness Of Mr. Beck Of their sheet anchor
they had until day before yesterday limited their
arguments 10 noisy generallties, and when driven
into corner by the cross-questonng OF Republicans,
had frankly admitted their want OF Intimate ac-
quaintance with the particular detail then in hand
Day before yesterday, however. they reached what
they fondy hoped was safe anchoragc-to drop the
metaphor they received from tho Bureau Of Statistics
a series of tables designed to show the effect OF the
Senate substitute compared with the House bill and
with existing law. Yesterday again they received
some more tables from the same high authority, both
series HAVING been submitted to the Senate by Senator
Vest These tables intended TO furnish not only
the text for Democratic speeches In Congress, but to
give the keynote for Democratic campaign speeches
everywhere
1t fell 10 the lot OF Senator Aldrich to expose the
deception and he found a single half hour sufficient
for the purpose. lie attempted flights OF oIatory,
but went directly TO the root Of the matter and left
his opponents scattered and dsheartcned without
word to say In their own defence Mr.. Aldrich said
t,at The tables illustrated the ahsurity Of attempt
ing to prove by elaborate statements OF average ad
vaorc rates and percentages the character effect
Of a tariff bin. For instance, the promoters Of the
House bill claimed great credit for having put sawed
lumber and otncr articles In the lrsber schedule upon
the list yet 1t appears from this that the average
rate of duty imposed by the House bill upon articles
in the lumber schedule is 1898 per cent, while the
average rate imposed by the Senate bill is 16 8s
cent In other words, the House bill levied an
average adj valOrem duty lumber according TO this
table greater by So per cent than the Senate substitute
and yet a large proportion Of the articles In that
schedule placed on the free list by the House
bill

who read a little lesson the vast profits made by
American manufacturers which was convincing that

THE PRACTICE OF HUNDRED YEARS REVERSED
AT ONE FELL swOOP

Washington Oct IS (Specian.-The Constitution,
Article l. Section 5, Clause one provides that a
majority of each (honse Of Congress) shall constitute
a quorum to do business: but a smaller number may
adjourn from day TO day, and may be authorized
10 compel the attendance Of absent members. IL
also provides that "each house shall keep journal
of its proceedings" From March d. 1859, until to-
day, Speaker Speaker pro tempore, ever
presumed to nullify the provision Of the Constitution
first named That honor reserved for the Hon.
samuel s. Cox, who, as Speaker pro tempOre brushed
aside that provision OF the constitution though
10 were cobweb, and overruled a point Of order
made by Mr. FarQuhar, that under Clause One Of Rule
One the Journal could not be read except on the
appearance OF quorum"
Mr. Farquhar called attention to the fact that there
manfesty and palpably quorum present.
There were present In the House by actual count
thrtyone members and 1t was the plain duty Of the
Speaker pro tempOre under the rule upon the ap-
pearance of quorum to the Journal Of the
proceedings Of the last days sitting to be read' and
not until then If objection was made.
Nj. Cox was at his wits end when Mr.. Farquhar
took his seat. Like drowning man catching at a
straw, Mr.. Cox accepted the suggestion Of the
Speakers clerk at the desk that IT had been the
TOM to read the Journal without quorum being
present, and that such custom had the force OF a
rule. Accordingly Mr.. Cox In faltering tones made
that ruling, which was greeted with q" subdued ap-
pause on the Democratic side,' -" The Record Of
tomorrow will probably state. or course they ap-
pauded as 1t was the only way out Of the hole
they were in. Everybody astonished at the
ruling, and every fairmnded man disgusted
AS the journal read, Speaker pro
temporc Cox, as IS the uniform custom, stated that
the Journal read would be approved In the absence
of objection. Thereupon f. i. Taylor, of Chic, oh
ected and asked that the question Of approval be put
to the House. Here was an unlocked for obstacle
but Mr. Cox equal to the emergency, having just
ruled that custom Lad all the force of rule and
might override Mr. Cox cooly ruled that
there was express rule of the House which required
the Journal TO be approved by the House. such ap
prevail not necessary, thus reversing at one fell
swoop7 the unbrokcn practice of the House for
nearly century, well as his previous ruling From
time immemorial 1t has been the practice OF the
Speaker to state in the absence OF objection the
Journal. read, will stand approved" and Mr. Cox
has made that statement as Speaker pro teInpore
probably a hundred times, including the ono made by
him to-day after the Journal had been read
