DEMOCRATS ANXIOUS TO ADJOURN.

Washington Oct. 4 (spcciaD-Democrac anxiety
TO get away from the issue shows Itself by the re-
ncwcd talk Of the propriety Of adourning Congress
at an early day. The desire TO go home Is almost
entirely confined to Democrats As far as the Re
politicians in the Senate concerned, they arc
mainly intent upon doing their duty, and they arc
ready now, they have been for weeks past, TO
proceed to the discussion of the tariff question Gus
tom and tradition assign the duty Of reporting an adj
journment resolution to the Committee Ways and
Means. Only two members Of that committee how
ever are In at the present time-MessrS. lrncr,
Of Georgia, and Breckenridge, OF Kentucky. Both
seem be opposed to the wishes OF majority of their
party associates the question Of adjournment
Still it is possible that they may be overrued and
that the wholesome fear Of debate on the Mills bill
I'm the Republican Senate may lead the Democratic
House to vote for adjournment. 1t Is safe to say
that no proposition to adjourn will come from tho
Senate at the present time.
