A LONG SESSION PROBABLE.
Congregational Business will be De.
layed by the Two Great Conventions,
AND AN ADJOURNMENT NOT LIKELY BEFORE JULY,
POSSIBLY NOT BEFORE AUGUST.
IL seems to be the general opinion OF members
or Doth houses OF Congress that the present ses-
sion will extend well into and possibly nearly
through the summer. This opinion is not based
SO much upon the backward condition OF business
u any DOUBT that the appropriation bills could be
rushed through in rapid order as upon the fact
that the TWO national conventions will be held
While Congress is in the midst OF its work. Natu-
rally, very many OF the democratic Senators and
representatives will want 10 attend the st. Louis
conVenuon. Many OF them Will be chosen
delegates and Others will want to be on
hand TO aid in shaping party matters. Hence
business IN congress Will probably De in state OF
comparative suspense during the St Louis conven-
tion, because or the absence OF democrats and
curing the sitting OF the Chicago convention be-
democratic convention been deferred until July,
was at nrSt proposed, there would probably have
t,n, an an enort made 70 adjourn Congress oy that
tie put as 1t Is that would be impracticable, and
IL Is conceded that making allowance for the
partial delay OF business by reason or the two con-
ventlons Congress will scarcely adjourn before the
latter part or July, and many predict that the
session Will run well into August.
II tarln bill shall pass the House prior to the
lts session might be utilized for debating 1t in the
senate, but IT Is scarcely probable that the finance
committee OF the Senate would be prepared TO re-
port II back short OF several weeks. As far as the
Senate is concerned, appropriation bills will be
acted upon in that body without any unnecessary
delay. There is some impat1ence manifested
at the dilator1ness OF the House In send
Ing over appropriation bills; but even with delay
tnere II IS not 1elt that the session OF Congress
need oe unduly prolonged because OF the appro-
priatiOn bills.
