CONGRESS TO SIT IT OUT.
THE SENATE TO BM FORCED TO
DANCE ITS TARIFF JIG.

A Caucus of the Democratic Members
of the House Overwhelmingly Votes
Down the Adjournment Resolution
of Mr.. Oates-A Belief Earlier in the
Day that 1t Would be Adopted.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S,-A prominent
democratic representative, who has all
along opposed any proposition looking to
the passage OF an adjournment resolution
by the House, said to day that he had salts
fed HIMSELF after careful inquiry and
actual count, that the democratic caucus
tonight would favor the passage of the
concurrent resolution to adjourn congress
Oct l next. 1t was gathered from many
sources that members who had here
tofore opposed any such action had
suddenly changed their position, as the re-
suit of yesterdays proceedings in the House
CLOSE CALL.
Chairman ONeill of the labor committee
then secured an Overwhelming majority on
proposition to refer to his committee the
resolution assigning certain days in the
House for the consideration of labor bills
The point of no quorum was raised In time
te avoid what many of the members
regarded as a serious tactical error, for, as
the resolution would undoubtedly have
iahor comm;ttea onnorr,,nitv would have
thus been offered TO secure a yea and nav
vote on the proposition to amend 1t bv set
the the dependent PENSION G hll and ] other n ~enerol
pension legislation. 1t was said to be this
impending dilemma which resulted In the
alleged change of opinion of many mem
bers upon the question of adjournment.
