ADJOURNMENT TALK.

ADJOUHSM GNI IALh.
WASHINGTON, Ost. 4-While there
has been no formal conference among the
Democratic members Of the House touch
ing the advis.oiiity OF adopting en- ad-
tournament resolution, there has been an
exchange of private opinion upon the sub
jsct. A maj Jrity Of the members holding
the view tnaf the tariff bill having been
reported to the Senate. there is no longer
any reason why the House should not
adopt resolution and allow the Senate
to act upon..it one way or another. During
the course Of to dsy or tomorrow II ls
probable that conference WILL Dc
called in order that these private
opinions may be crys;a!.z3d into formal
xction. 1.-The obstacle in the way OF
81 adjournment resolution IN the house
is the suspicion thst such resolution, II
passed, might be rel 'cted by the Senate,
and used IS sn argument to show tnst Inc
Democrats fear to await the actlon OF the
Senate on tie substitute tsrth Dill. II
some positive assurance can DE obtained
that the resolu ion, il passed by the
House, will De adopted by the Sinate,
there is little doubt that such action will
be taken. The deficiency appropriation
bill! now before the House, In the shape OF
conference report, is an element that
must be included in any ejaculation
touching adjournment. Several members,
dissatisfied wish the conference report,
have threatened TO raise the point oil
no quorum, but it is believed they can Dc
prcifed. Mr.. Forney, VINO is acting
chairman OF the appropriations commit
tee, freely expires ses the oplnl2n thA'
Congress- will adiourn Tuesday, OCTOBER
Is, which date will allow Of the dlsposi-
ton of the deficiency Dill aad fair open
ibg Of the debate on the teriH Dill IN the
Senate.
Soon sitter the assembling OF the Senate
Speaker Carlisle aud Mr.. Turner, the only
members of the WAYS and means COM
nittee now in Washington, came over
from the House ard entered into en- earn
est consultation with several Democrats,
presumably On the euoJoct OF adJ oufn-
ment.
The movement for an adjournment met
with an unexpected check in the after
noon, when Breckinridge OF Arkansas
reached the capitol. He is now the renking
member OF the ways and means commit
tee. He at once set himself 10 WORK to
oppose the adiournmsn:. He believes
that by argument and percussion he has
succeeded In checking the adj lurnmenE
move, so that while 1t was PROBABLE be-
fore his return that resolution pIoVid-
ing for an early adj surnmsnt would be
introduced to-day in the House, the
prospects are now that 1t will be in
definitely delayed.
