The RECESS RESOLUTION.
An Extra Session without any Respou.
sibility on the President for II.

There was good deal Of chat around the
Capitol today on the Edmunds resolution pro-
vidinG for recess of Congress from September
10 to November 10. The srAn has heretofore
stated that an extra session was one
of the things which leading republicans
regarded as more than desirable. when the
conference was held at Senator Telier's house
some weeks ago, The STAR stated that talk
about an extra session was a large part Of the
debate on that occasion, and although
interested politicians try to deny what was
said they failed TO upset the facts. Now comes
the resolution OF the Senator from Vermont.
which looks to what 10 practically an extra
session. but which puts the matter in such posi-
tion that presidential responsibility Is evaded.
The President has expressed himself on more
than one occasion ss opposed to extra sessions
except when there was great emergency. 1t
would be difficult at this time to persuade him
that an emergency existed. The adoption of
the Edmunds resolution would give all the
the President would not have q word
to say about II. There are those who say the
President wants Mr.. Edmunds to succeed be-
cause the federal elections bill would be con-
siderably advanced thereby and it would be
hurried without his having TO indulge
in any public expressions which would
commit him. OF course the resolution
win be opposed by the democrats; they realize
that the dreaded and hated 'force bili' would
move forward much more rapidly under the
proposed order of things than it would if
there were no session until December.
II the Senator from Vermont insists on
his resolution the time which he has set aside
for campaign holiday will be used up in de-
batting the merits of his proposition. More
than one republican Senator is opposed to the
idea. The closing Of business on the 18th OF
September would mean that the tariff
bill would remain In the hands of .
conference committee until November, for no
Que believes it could possibly be ready for an
agreement within three weeks. Other republic
cans think the recess proposition confession
OF delinquency and for that reason they want
to sit the session out to its end.

THE SEARCH LIGHT.
The Experience of a Man Who Thinks
IL Should be Abolished.

A correspondent TIE of STAB, referring to
the article published Thursday night concern
ing complaints Of danger attending the use Of
electric search light on steamers. writes his
own experience graphically as follows:
''On Saturday evening in July last my son
and started down the river in small boat.
The night being fine, though rather dark. We
continued on, intending to tie up at Marshall
Hall. When within o mile or two of that re-
sort the search light of the Manchester. lying
there with an excursion party. began
to play over the river and upon the
passing vessels. We admired the effect
as the dark hulls and white sails were brought
out in bold relief against the intense blackness
beyond the light, but thought Of the danger of
the pilot losing his course and Pumping his
vessel hard and fast on q shoal just at that
moment the funny man with the light trans

blow in the face. could not see, and SO pain
full was the intense glare that l was compelled
to close my eyes, hoping that as soon as his
would let up, but as the joker kept the merci-
less light for some minutes which seemed an
hour. steadily focused on me, 1 'luffed

tormentor, which brought me heading down
the river far below where wished to STOP
This seemed to satisfy the funny man. who
then directed his light elsewhere, when re-
sumed my course toward Marshall Hall and
was heading in for an anchorage when the
light again struck me at close quarters with
such binding, confusing effect that could not
be sure whether l was sailing boat or driving
a six-mule army team. l could not again 'luff-

the family and friends are satisfied that the
body is that Of Mr.. Andrews, yet the deceased
having carried assurances on his life, it is i'm
portant that the companies should be satisfied.
and it is likely that final disposition will be

There was not quite 20 much activity at the
White House today in the contest for the Dis
trics commissionership. 1t was the natural
lull after the storm. The President had rather

was too much business waiting to be attended
to for him to think Of leaving the city today to
join his family at Cresson, Pa, and 30 he de-
cided to postpone that trip until some time
next week.
NO NEW COMMISSIONERS THIS MONTH.
When the President first began to consider
the matter Of new District Commissioner he
thought that it would be desirable to appoint
him in time to start in on the LIST Of September,
80 that there might be as little confusion OF
the District governments accounts as
possible. Every time new member

bonds are required from each one, and new

be would not have enough time after his return
to give the matter the consideration it de-
serves, and he has abandoned the idea of APP
pointing the new Commissioner in time for the
September accounts. He will probably not
send in a nomination until some time next
week.
The name of Gen Cadmus NJ. Wilcox was
yesterday presented to the President by Sena-
tor Harris Of Tennessee, of which state Gen.
Wilcox is q nominal resident, although he now
has his home in this city. Senator Harris called
again this morning and had conversation with
the President on the subject Of Gen. Wilcox's
merits.
THANKING THE PRESIDENT.
Col. Wright, the new register of wills Of the
District, was one of the earliest callers but he
had no Ak to grind in the commissionership

House happier than do most District people

Almost on the heels Of the register came

present register of deeds; Auditor John Il
Lynch and Rev. Mr.. Clarke, the newly appointed
minister to Iiberia--who called to pay their
respects. Mr.. Clarke also wanted to thank the
President
Then the regular stream Of craftsmanship
and politics flowed on through tho doors Of the
library and no one gave thought to the COM

IN FAVOR OF ROBINSON.
Ex-Judge Drake, formerly on the District
bench, called at the White House this after
noon to say good word to the President in
behalf of Mr.. Robinson, now in the employ Of
