| Washington, Aug 90 (spcclaD-Mr Edmunds made
something Of stir in the Senate today by Introducing
resolution for recess of Congress from September
10 TO November 10, instead Of the usual sine die
| adjournment. The Vermont senator said, in ex-
PLANTATION Of this rather unexpected step that he made
the suggestion of a recess on his own responsibility,
and that he had had conference on the subject with
other Republican Senators. He believed that 1t was
highly desirable for Congress 10 meet soon as posi-
bic after the fall elections. es 10 have time enough
TO dispose Of all the important legislation left over
| from this session before March next
II Congress adjourned sine Gle, the President would
| be Obliged, in order TO this extra allowance OF
time, to call extra session in November. But tis
| Mr. Edmunds thought, might be construed as rebuko
70 Congress for falling TO do what II should have Done
| and the Vermont Senator does not wish 10 have the
Administration put, by inference, IN such an a
tude. He holds that II there Is TO be preliminary
pressed with the necessity Of having one Congress
shOnd take the initiative i4 arsnsgg tor & such AZ pro 20
| sponsbillty upon the President, -,
Most Republicans viii agree with Mr.. EdInu1ds
that rcassembng Of Congress IN November Is I'm,
peratively demanded But there IS likewise general
seae that T1 e aa Ta t S S + Tie e and Sass HSt
Of Adjournment Is useless and unprohtsbIe Mr. I'd
his resolution for several days at least ana i not
likely that 1t will he heard from again unt the pcnd
for approval Any action upon It before that time
would only tond 70 compcaie the present situation In
