WASHINGTON, May 4.-As soon rs the hot
weather comes Conrressmen begin to talk
about final adjournment. Al this tmo OF the
year everybody is ready to predict that Con-
Rress will break up by tho LIST OF July. A
glance at the records will show that It Is only
about once In ten years that final Adjournment
is reached before August Mt long session. 1t
will probably I've so this year. Speaker Reed
and his colleagues In the House are making n
great effort to nut through all the measures to
which the party is committed and get away
not later than the first of July. They will not
be able to do 1t, however. Tho Senate is rs de-
liberate as tho House is hasty, and will insist
on having plenty Of time to discuss such bills

begin In the House on Tuesday next, as Major
! Mckinley has decided to call tho bill up on
that day. Six days will be allowed for general
debate. Then the battle will begin under the i've
minute rule. and some rather lively speeches
! are expected. Tho members OF the Ways and
Means Committee express themselves rs en-
tlrely confident that the bill will pass and get
! over to the Senate during the latter part Of the
month. They are probably right In this con-
viction, but 1t is none the less true that tho
bill will hardly be recognizable by its friends
! when 1t reaches tho Senate. The Republicans
as we'll as the Democrats are loaded down
, with amendments which they will insist upon
having put into tho bill. and 1t will take some
lively fighting to oppose them oil. The sugar
men will, no doubt, mako the hottest contest.
