rhey Want to Go Home
But the Senate Waits for the
 House, and Vice Versa.
ANOTHER MONTH OF CONGRESS,
Events on the Programme for This Week. But Little Real Business to Be Done, and Few Statesmen to Do It-The Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin.

WASHINGTON, Sept A-It is probable that the work which must be disposed of by congress before adjournment will be put out or the way this week, and that the house and senate will be in position to pass upon a resolution for adjournment on very short notice thereafter. Whether or not that resolution will be taken up in the near future IS stlu an open question, although the pros poets seem to be against it. The caucus of Saturday outlined the work of the senate and, for the time at least, disposed of the question of an adjournment in the near future. Republican senators are not inclined to take the initiative, although they have been urged to do so by few Democrats in the senate, who are anxious to get home Those who are. figuring on the matter do not fix the date Of possible adjournment before Oct IO, and most of those who have conf dence Ill the breaking up of the session before November fix the date at or about Oct. 20
 All of the appropriation bills are disposed of with the exception of the sundry civil bill, which Is still in conference and the de hclency blll which is now pending in the senate. The house has not yet appointed its conterees on the sundri civil bill, but they will probably be appointed to-day, and then IL will be the work of day to agree upon a report. The only point ot difference now be tween the two houses is the national library clause, which it will probably be necessary to omit entirely from the bill. The senate has Instructed its conferees to make this proposi- ton to the house, and in order to dispose of the bill the house will likely agree to this suggestion.
 The senate will probably dispose of the general deficiency bill to-day. The bill will then go into conference. The defciency bill and the sundry civil bill disposed of, the senate proposes to take up the bill for the admission of Washington Territory and pass it. It is not definitely determined yet whether or not the other territorial bills will be taken up next. If they are they will be followed by the Sherman trust bill, which the caucus of Saturday determined should be disposed of at an early day.
