 Into Discussion Adjournment. ACharges and Counte~ CharGes-NIr. Cox's Defense.
 rAsH1NGroS, Oct. lS.-Senator Aldrich last evening to a representative of the OAfed Press: II am inclined to believe the congress will adjourn Saturday. Senator Allison and mach prefer a recess but If the Democrats insist upon their proposition to adjourn they can make the point of mo Quorum' and prevent any action. We will certainly be away by Saturday. Congress will either have dioulned or have gone into deadlock Dy that time. If there should be deadlock Senator Ingalls, and the chaplain will be left here to run the senate. and the rest of us will go home"
 TARIFF DISCUSSION RESUMED.
 The senate resumed consideration of the tariff bill, Mir. Teller taking the floor.
 He criticised the administration for hay ing favored Wall street interests and meth ods ill it's financial policy and complained that senators had not opposed the silver pol icy of the treasury. The course of the treas ury department in the matter of bond pur- classes was described as $imBecility of the grossest character" and. he claimed that more money had been lost in that way than would have paid every vetoed pension bill for 150 years. But that course had been in the interest of the bondholder, of the mopey lender, of the money grabber, and not in the interest of the poor man. He did not desire, he said, to say anything harsh of the admin istration of the treasury department; he merely submitted the facts. He wanted the people to understand that the adminstra- tion had with laggard steps, with delay and hesitation applied the public money to the payment of the public debt.
 When Mir Teller concluded, Mr. Allison offered a concurrent resolution for a recess of congress from Saturday next, at 10 o'clock, to Nov. l9. He asked its immediate consid eration
 Mir. Cockrell said that if congress should adjourn until the first Monday in December which was the regular time for assembling, and should then continue ill session without intermission at Christmas time, just much would be accomplished. He questioned whether it would be possible to obtain quo rum in the middle of November
 Mir Reagan spoke in favor of Mir. Cock rel's idea, as did also MT. Hale and Mr. Salisbury.
 Mir Allison said that Mir Cockrell had claimed Tuesday that the senate tariff meas ure was not framed with view to passing it, and he wanted to show that the Republicans were in earnest in their expressions of de sire to pass the bill He said that he wanted to test the temper of the senate, and he in sisted on his request for unanimous consent to immediately consider the resolution.
 Mr. Morgan objected and the resolution went over.
 Mir. Morgan addressed the senate on the pending question. He said that the proposi- tion to adjourn until the middle of Novem- Der was bit of tinesSe to cover the death of the tariff bill. If Republican senators were in earnest they would attend the sessions of the senate and vote upon the bill The senate bill was masquerade of monopoly disguised in the appearance of fair dealing and justice. Yet it was a Democratic triumph, for it was an admission that the people demanded a relaxation of high taxes. Mir. Morgan said that if the framers of the constitution had had any idea that under it such fortunes as those of Gould and Vanderbilt could have been accumulated they would have tried some other plan.
 He quoted some statements of Mir. Beck tC prove that the senate was "the subsidized slave of monopolies" He declined to give the floor to Mir. Aldrich, who wished to make denial of the statements of Mir Beck.
 In reply to statement made by MT. Nor gan, Mir. Allison said that the difference made by the proposed increase in the rate on cotto1 ties would be about two cents bale on cot lOu 11S SSt1u dISO, III lO CSIldlu SUdI6 ments of MT. Morgan, that while the protec tion to the sugar refner under the present law was three-quarters of cent pound, the protection under the senate was only three eighths of a cent per pound.
