Most congressman Favor Ad-
jOurnment From Thurs
day to Monday.
A General Desire for a Short
Vacation During the
Heated Term.
The Tariff Bill Will Probably
Go Over for Another
Week.
Little Prospect Of a Vote on
the Election Bill Before
Thursday.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Mr. Morrill,
said yesterday that he would call up
the tariff bill in the senate tomorrow,
but the probabilities are that the debate
On the measure will not begin before
Monday of next week, as the senate
will be occupied with appropriation
bills during the greater part of this
week. The District of Columbia and
the legislative, executive and judicial
bills are before it for action on confer
ence reports. and the committee on ap-
preparations expects to report the sum
dry civil and Indian bills before Thurs
day. Of general business, the bill for
the admission of Idaho has first place
on the calendar, and will be taken up at
the earliest opportunity. AS III the
case of the Wyoming bill, Repub-
licans will not discuss it at length.
submitting it upon the report of the
committee on territories. After it is
disposed of, the river and harbor bill
will be taken up, the present pro-
gramme contemplating it's considera-
tion before entering upon the tariff de-
bate. AS Friday will be the Fourth of
July, an adjournment of the senate from
Thursday until Monday is probable, al
though this has not been definitely de-
cided upon. If the senate should con-
clude to hold session Saturday, it will
be devoted to the consideration of bills
on the calendar to which objection is
not made. 1t is the confident expecta-
ton of the members Of the house that
there will be only four days session
this week. The house has its work we'll
in hand, and as the probability
that this session of congress will
be unusually protracted has now
become practically certainty, there is
strong desire on the part of the mem
bers to take advantage of the 4th Of
July coming on Friday to secure va
cation of few days during the heated
term. The speaker himself favors ad-
journment over until Monday. The
house therefore has one legislative day
only during the coming week at its dis
posal, the first three days under the
rule being set apart for the further con-
sideration of the federal election bill.
The rules committee has conside red
what it shall do with this one day
Thursday-but has not yet def nitely
decided what measure shall get the
benefit of it. The strongest probability
is that the committee will report
a rule setting apart the day for
the disposal of the Torrey
bankruptcy bill, but there are
other measures being pressed for early
action, and the friends of some one or
more OF them may induce the commit
tee to defer consideration of the Torrey
bill and give the day to them. 1t may
be, however, that there Will be no
necessity for reporting any rule at all,
as the day may possibly be consumed
with conference report upon the silver
bill. 1t is not likely, though, that so
early an agreement on the silver bill
will be reached, and that this subject
will not come before the house again
until the following week. There is
also possibility of hitch in congress
sional programmes, and an unexpected
debate on some appropriation bill con-
feren ce report, or some other at present
unknown obstacle may delay the final
vote Oh the election bill until Thursd ay
instead of Wednesday.
