WAsHrNGros, Sept lS.-Mr. McMillin, in
speaking of adjournment, said yesterday:
"The Republican Senate has promised the
country tariff bill, and they will have their
noses kept down to the grindstone until they
bring ole in or cry enough. My own
opinion is that the Senate will be compelled
to throw up the sponge and originate n res
olution before long We shall not stay

the Senate will be the first 70 moYe.n

why Congress Is SIN In Session.

opcNlhi bihpaWn 10 INC Appear.
WASHINGTON, Sept l3.-Both the Senate
and House are today without quorum, and
h " very doubtful II there is quorum Of
the hitter in the city. The Oklahoma terri.
torial bill came up in the House this after
noon, and no quorum being present call
OF the House was ordered Mr.. Sowdcn, OF
Pennsylvania, then introduced resolution
demanding the return Of absentces. Both
parties opposed this, and flibustered on IL
until the hour Of adjournment arrived. II
is now evident that members are soroly
tired Of staying here 10 await the action Of
the Senate finance committee In their effort
90 incubato a tariff bill, and IL is further
evident that they are not going 90 remain.
There was barely loo members in the House
today. and In a week there will probably
not be half that number. The fact j., every
member Is anxious for adjournment but
neither party wants 20 make the move.
There arc number Of Democrats like Mr.
Oates, who would introduce am adjournment
resolution aud demand vote but the party
leaders will not allow H. The Republicans
are In the position OF the man who held 20
the bulls tail-they would like to turn loose,
but cant. II would be an acknowledgment
that they cannot agree upuu tariff bill.
The matter oi adjournment has now re-
solved itself into this. The Democratic
House must either send q resolution 90 the
Senate, or else Congress will remain In scs-
sion, doing nothing, until after the election.

scnstor Quay's Advice

Special Dispatch 70 Tho Appeal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l3.-Chairman Quay,
of the national Republican committee, was
here yesterday in consultation with the Re
publican mombcrs OF the Senate finance com.
mittec, in regard to their tariff bill. Mr..
Quay is still opposed to the Republicans
reporting any bill at all, and is endeavoring
TO persuade Senator Allison and the others
of the committee 10 his way of thinking.
He believes 1t will he best to make the cant
paign In opposition to the Mills bill. Sena-
TOR Allison, however, says they will report a
bill, but not In some weeks. IL is said
the postponement of the report has been
put of for further consideration Of Mr..
Quay's advice. The Democrats, however,
believe that no Republican bill will see the
light of the Senate this session. The Re
publican senators game is 10 continue
hearings and pretend that they will report
bill until the election. unless the House
should send over 10 them an adjournment
resolution. which will be eagerly accepted.

The Singer of TopicaI Sours.

There is popular impression that it Is
the singing comedians who make the top
ical songs what they are, simply by their
manner of rendering them, by the cross
eyed looks and the infections of voice
which they originate and introduce But
this isn't so. If Il singer has good verses
he can make them 90 and get his little
applause. But if the verses are bad he
can look as cross eyed as he may please
and can scatter the most unique intiec-
tions from one end of the song to the
other and turn himself inside out and the
verses will never be anything but the
fattest of failures. The laughs don't
come, and he can't do anything except
pray for better verses.
But giving the authors three parts of
the credit for writing a brilliant verse,
the remaining portion may be safely given
to comedian who brings out the authors
in All unctuous manner, with
good voice. distinct enunciation and com
ical facial expression; bad comedian
true sense of humor might spoil
n capital verse, whereas good one would
bring out all the points given him by the
author and many times even more by the
original individuality of his rendition
