Afraid to Adjourn.

WASHINGTON, DC. October 15.--
Senator Aldrich, who prepared the
majority report on the Senate tariff
bill, said this morning that there was
nothing TO keep Congress here and
that the Senate was willing to agree
TO an adjournment, but the Senators
wanted TO know first whether or not
q member Of the Ways and Means
Committee intended las he had heard
10 make an attack on the Senate tar.
in bill on the floor of the House,
misrepresenting the attitude of the
Republicans on the tariff question.
The belief that something Of this
kind is intended. il the only thing
that stands in the way Of I'D ourn
ment.
In the Senate debate on the tariff
bin, Mr.. Allison in alludiug to the
prospect Of the passage Of the Senate
tariff bill, said he did not believe il
could pass the Senate this session,
and that the Senate. when II ad'
iourncd, should agree TO take up the
bill Immediately after reassembling
in December.
