NOT TILL OCTOBER.
Congress Not Expected to Adjourn
for Month or So,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-It is not i'm
probable that the senate, for the first
time in many years, will indulge in
deadlock this week. Notice has been
given that the fisheries treaty viii he
pushed to final vote within three or
four days, and the Democratic senators
talk Of refraining from voting upon Mr..
Morgan'S motion to postpone further
consideration till December next
which motion must be voted upon be-
fore another move can be taken-and it
Will require full attendance of
the Republican senators to defeat the
proposition. Should the Democrats
persist in demanding a quorum, final
vote may be prevented until next week.
The conference report OH the naval APP
preparation bill is expected to morrow,
ana this may precipitate considerable
debate. The senate demands that the
heavy-armOred cruiser, to cost s., SOC, 900
exclusive of armament, which was put
in the bill by the house, shall be strick-
en- out, and three light cruisers substi
tuted at a cost of 500, 900 each, exclusive
of armament. The senate, 1t is be-
lleved, will stand firm in its position
and demand with vigor the three
light ships in place of the
may be other conferences ordered.
The senate does not expect the de-
1iciency appropriation bill to come over
from the house until the end of the
week. There are pending before the
house three appropriation bills. only
one OF which has not received prelimi-
nary action. The general deficiency
bill is almost completed, and the naval
and army bills are in conference, and
Will come up during the week some
tlme. IT the house agrees to the senate
amendment to the army bill, the fortifi-
cations appropriation bill, which is now
on the house calendar, will never be
taken up. Chairman TOwnshend. of
the house committee on military affairs,
mas called meeting of the house
conferreeS on the army bill for
tomorrow morning, and says it is
probable that the conference will
agree to the senate amendments
(Hawley's heavy ordnance) to the army
bill with some further amendments,a and
that the house will settle the debate be-
tween the committees on military affairs
and appropriations as to which shall
have jurisdiction over the Notifications
appropriation bill, and that it will be
determined in favor Of the former. To-
morrow is
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA DAY
In the house, but as there are no meas
ures OF pressing Importance for the dis
tfict committee to put upon their pas
sage, the general deficiency bill will
probably be taken up. There remains
but little of the allotted time to debate
the French spoliatiOn claims in this
measure, and the bill can be passed
within few hours, unless a point of
no quorum should be raised when a vote
is called for on the French SpOliationS.
Ii a point Of no quorum is raised a
deadlock may ensue. Tuesday has
been made special order Tor the SEN
ate bill restricting Chinese immigra-
ton, and there is no disposition to delay
consideration of that measure, as the
house seems to be almost unanimously
in favor of it. If the house progresses
well with its work, an effort will be
made to adjourn from Friday to Mon
day. There appears to be disposition
OH the part OF the house to take things
easy and wait for the senate tariff bill.
Chairman Allison, of the subcommittee
OF the senate committee on finance,
preparing the taritfsbill, says the hear
lngs which are being given to the vari-
Gus Industries have not yet closed, and
that there is no probability of the bill
going to the senate this week. 1t will
create no surprise in the senate among
those who are best posted on the SUBJ
Ject If the tariff bill does not come up
for debate before Sept. 1, and most
OF the old senators are predicting that
adjournment will not be had until some
time in October.
