sENATE-The Senate devoted the entire
uay to the tariff question Mr.. Cockrell first
Uook the moor IN opposition to the Senate
substitute. ''''o
HoUsE.-The only feature of the House pro-
ceedlngs today was the failure to agree upon
q qi Tor final adjournment of congress. The
Iio1se concurred ia Senate amendment to
She Dill authorizing the construction of a
00r1dge across the Mississippi river at La
Crosse, Wis
MI oates, of Alabama, called up his reso-
Iutlon for final adjournment, and after dis
cusslon 1t was further postponed until to-
morrow: Mr.. Oates said that he had failed
IL IN MS eHort to get the House to adjourn, and
ne would like to adjourn himself. He asked
leave OF absence for the remainder of the
session, which was granted
Wednesday, Oct. II.
SENATE.-It is now practically decided that
congress will adjourn on Saturday next.
Inns arrangement has been made by an in
formal conference of Republican and Demo
cratlc senator's. Senator Cockrell, at the
crosse OF MS long speech yesterday in oppo-
sltfon to the new tariff bill, charged that the
republican senators dared not bring the
session to close. Promptly taking up the
challenge, Mr.. Allison appeared this morning
with a resolution providing for a recess from
oct. 20 to Nov. 10. The Democrats opposed
Vhls plan, as they want an adjournment. The
resolution was not acted upon TODAY, bqlt
went over under an objection by Senator
Morgan: Lit will be taken up tomorrow and
amended SO as to provide for an adjourn
ment instead .ot recess, and in that shape
will be passed and sent to the House.
HoUsE.-The speaker laid before the House
LIZ messages from the President vetoing pri-
waite pension bills They were referred to the
committee ON invalid pensions
Mr. Cox, of New York, rose to question
OF privilege and read from the clerks desk an
editorial in the New York Tribune, charging
him with sending unfrankable matter through
the mails under his frank. Hesaid the frank
was "a forgery.
Thursday, Oct. IS.
SENATE.-The long contest between the two
houses OF congress as to adjournment has
ended. The first session Of the Fiftieth con-
gress by the concurrent consent of the two
houses Is to come to an end on SATURDAY.
next, Oct. 20, at l O'Clock p. m. There are
only TWO possible contingencies which would
be likely to interfere with an adjournment
These are: The veto by the president of the
deficiency appropriation bill or the announce
ment by him that he had some message to
communicate to congress which he would not
have ready by the time fixed for adjourn
ment.
HoUsE.-The resolution of adjournment in
the house was made the text of some parting
campaign speeches, in one of which Mr.. Nc
MILAN, representing the maj ority of the com
mlttee on ways and means presented the COM
parison OF the senate and the house tariff BILL
Friday, Oct 10.
SENATE-The committee on finance was au-
thorized to continue it's investigation of tariff
matters during the recess, and may make
some further inquiries as to trusts, but it is
doubtful if any of the committees that have
been authorized to do vacation work will
undertake to do much. The committee on
Indian affairs was authorized to continue
during the recess at Washington the inquiry
ordered by the last congress as to the CON
dition OF the Indian tribes in Minnesota
Dakota and Montana.
HoUsE.-The House transacted no business
today Mr.. Farquhar, Of New York, OBJ
jected to the approval Of the journal, and
raised the point which he made yesterday
that the journal could not be read in the
absence of a quorum The speaker reversed
the ruling of the speaker pro TEN, and said
that if objection was made before the reading
of the Journal it was the duty of the chair to
order a. call of the roll. He also held that
the House had control of the approval of the
Journal
The first session of the Fiftieth congress
dies of collapse. Hardly enough are left in
either house to furnish witnesses OF the clos.
ing scenes,

and Sawyer. Mr.. Allison, of the committee
Ito wait on the president, reported that the
committee had performed that duty and had
ibeeninformed by the president that he had
,'ino further communication to Offer" The
senate then adjourned.
M0usE.-When the house met this morn
ing ;at IL O'Clock, on the last day of the
MOST pFotracted session in the annals of con-
gress, i'm addition to the speaker, there were
fifteen members in attendance.
