EDMUNDs' RESOLUTION.
The Proposed Recess CT Congress Freely Dis
cussed at the Capitol


oussed at the Capitol
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-There was good
deal of chat around the Capitol to-day on the
Edmunds resolution, providing for recess
of Congress from September 18th to No
yember 10th. When the conference was held
at Senator Teller's house some weeks ago, it
was stated that the talk about an extra ses-
sion was large part of the debate on that
occasion. and although interested politicians
tried to deny what was said they failed to
upset the fact.
from Vermont, which looks to what Is prac-
tically an extra session, but which puts the
matter in such n position that the Preslden-
tial respon sibility is evaded. The President
has expressed himself on more than one oc-
casion as opposed to an extra session, except
where there was great emergency, and 1t
would be difficult at this time to persuade
him that an emergency exists. The adop-
ton of the extra-seSsion resolution Is
looked for, and the President would
not have word to say about it in that form.
There are those who say the President
wants Mr.. Edmunds to succeed. because the
Federal Elections Bill would be c0nsldera-
bly, advanced thereby, and it would be hur-
ried without his having TO indulge in any
public expressions which would commit
him. OF course the resolution VIII be op-
posed by the Democrats. Ihey realiLs INA,

More than one Republican Senator Is op-
POSED 10 the idea.
The closing of business on the 18th OF
| September would mean that the Tariff Bill
would remain in the hands of the Confer.
ence Committee until November, for nc

the importation of foreign wools, because these
were necessary for the utilization Of American
woods.
After considerable debate vote was
taken and Carlisle's motion to strike out 1
the wool paragraph was rejected; ayes II,

Inc Finance Committee reported an
amendment to the paragraph relating to

however, had been told by their Democratic
associates to go on and make up bill 10
suit themselves and that they (the Demo
crats) would content themselves with ofler-
ing amendments TO it and, therefore, tne
bill was now treated OIL botn SIDES OF Tue
chamber as party question.
Plumb said that Alllson's statement
meant that every line and letter, and pune
tuation in the wool schedule had become an
article of party faith, and that. as a party
man, he (Alisonl was obliged to stand by
bargains where one side did all the trading,
and Allison replied to Plumb's structures:
He was in favor Of the general PRINCIPLES OF
protection to American industries and
American interests as he understood lneni,
and therefore it was when the minor iletaliS
OF the bill were reached that he surreEderea
his own judgment and stood upon ths e.
lightened judgment of his associates. lie
eXpected, however, that on Some ma efi,l
points in the bill he would be found IN
antagonism with some OF his associates on
| the committee. he admitted that he had
never been satisfied with the wool schedule.
He did not believe it would be wise for
American farmers to undertake to produce
low priced woods, but he was willing to give
them a chance to test the experiment thor
oughly
Hawley informed A llson that whenever the
duties on wool were reduced it would be iound
that wuoren InaInIiS iSactnrers would show an
equal readiness to have the duty on woolen
goods reduced
Allison said he was not prepared to suggest
that the great wool-producing industry, Of the
country should not be protected as other M
dustries were protected. When the country
was willing to be put on a free-trade bass ne
would 90 with Carlisle in q motion to put WOOL
on the free list, butt until that point was
reached he was in favor of caring for wool grow
ers as he was in favor OF caring for other lil-
dustries. As to the needs of the Government
in regard to revenue he would speak on that
point when the sugar question came up lor
consideration, and he thought he should be
able to show conclusively that sugar could be

An Amendment to the Bill for the Adjust

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The House this
morning took up the bill for the adjustment
of the accounts of laborers, workmer and
mechanics arising under the eight-hour law.
The measure was earnestly advocated by
Caruth, Dingley, Covert, Morrill,, Flower.
Wade, Reilly, Osborne and Farquhar
Brewer asserted that the men who had
worked in the navy-yards had entered into
a contract with the Government to work
ten hours, and had been paid for ten hours
work. To say they took work under pro-
test and ought to be paid for the extra two
hours was too ridiculous an argument 70 be
presented.
Brewer offered an amendment proviiing
that the act shall not be operative When
ever the Court of Claims shall find thit
claimant has performed service undeIany
contract, express or implied, and has leen
paid the amount agreed upon.
The amendment was adopted and the bill

Daniels addressed the Senate In support of

said, that the high tariff on wool and wooleus
