WARRINGTON, ID. c.. July 5.--Today was
the first really hot day we have had here for
ten days, and II has done more TO convince
members OF Congress Of the propriety OF an
early adjournment than any other considera.
ton that could be suggested. Ifit depended
on the House Congress would not remain
here much longer. Most eli OF the talking
men OF the Republican majority have ex-
hausted their stock Of yerbiage, aud while
there are some Republicans who really
desire TO be heard bona tide on
certain articles embraced In the reduction
proposed by the Mills bill. the great majority
on both sides are anxious 10 come 10 vote
and ret awav as soon ss possible. The sena-
tors at the other end OF the Capitol, however,
have something 10 say on this subject, and II
is reported that some Of them have great
deal 10 say. They want 10 make record
for themselves, and in spite OF the dog-days
some Of them will insist on being heard.
Mr.. Cannon, one OF the leading Republicans
Of the House, told reporter to-day that he
thought a vote would he taken In the House
on the Mills bill between July 10Th and 10th.

ran, and Mr.. sewden will be the only Demo-
erals who Will vote against the bill.
