WASHINGTON, Sept. EFT seems 70
be generally conceded that congress will
adjourn Wednesday or Thursday The
senate expects to pass the tariff bill to-
morrow. To-day Senator Aldrich tried
to have an hour fixed for voting on the
measure. He proposed allowing two
hours TO the Democrats. senator
Reagan opposed the idea in few
brief, but pointed remarks and said that
no one on the minority side had studied
the conference report and he was in favor
of giving more time for debate. He
further said that the bill was national
one, and to put it through under the gag
law he thought would be unbecoming
and certainly unnecessary. Pending IL
settlement of this question the senate
adjourned.
SENATOR JONES OF ARKANSAS
is now in the state campaigning for
Breckenridge. Fears are entertained
that the latter may not pull through,
owing chiefly to the fact that enormous
sums OF money are being poured into the
state by the Republicans. No better
man could have heen selected for the
delicate task of aiding ex-Congressmau
Breckenridge in his fight than Senator
Jones. He is most popular in his state
and elsewhere, is an entertaining and
forcible speaker, and one of the most
conscientious of men. He is moreover q
hard worker, and will get out the vote
of the falteriug Democrats if anyone can.
CongresSma- Mills will also speak i'll
Breckinridge's district.

does not believe that every Republican Is
bad. He is great admirer of Mai. Mo
Kinley and in speaking to n colleague
recently he said it was misfortune and
he doubted not calamity
that McKinley's district had
been jerrymandered. He referred
to the latter in tlattering terms and said
he was not only politician, but
statesman and since he mad been in con-
gress Mckinley had conducted himself in
a most praiseworthy manner. In fact
he had not joined in party br avis or
chickering's.
JUDGE CULBERSON

fore leaving he said he expected to be
returned, but he would have to work all
the same to that end, as he had pop

ment to contend with.

census returns, the Fourth census dis
trict being the only one thus far CON-
