There is some talk at the Capitol OF a nine die
adjournment OF Congress earlier than the FIRST OF
Sebtember, but the opinion OF Senators and Repre-
sentattves who have the best opportunities for
deciding, is that the important business cannot be
disposed OF before september. or course It de-
pends chiefly upon the progress made with the
tariff question in the senate. Other matters can
be readily disposed OF. The fishery treaty can be
voted upon or laid over. The debate has not
attracted any great degree Of public interest, ex-
cept In the East. The republicans favor its rejec-
tion, but they would not be likely to
permit any controversy as TO its fate
to delay adjournment, all other business having
ben disposed OF. In such a case the treaty would
probably go over until next session. The sundry civil
Dill Will certainly occupy few days IL is a vol
luminous measure and contains several provisions
that will provoke more or less debate. The dispo-
stion OF the library building will perhaps lead TO
some discussion, but the proposition TO purchase
the square Immediately west OF the Post Onice
Department for The enlargement OF that depart
ment and for city post office will go through
without debate as IL has passed the Senate several
times. Nearly all the amendments hitherto
onered by senators and rejected by the approprla-
tions committee Will be proposed in the Senate
and their adoption urged. This will consume con-
siderable time AS To the tariff the republicans OF
the finance committee say they expect to have
their substitute ready In very few days after the
House bill shall reach the Senate. Then the Senate
will not only sit every week day, but will hold
night sessions, If necessary, in order to hasten
final adjournment,
