ANXIOUS TO FINISH.
Members Of Congress DESTROYS Of
an Adjournment
IN ORDER TO WORK FOB THE TICKET

Adjournment May Como by the
Middle of July-The Balance of
the Session VIII Hear Political
Observation-Disclosures Notified to be
Present by the Speaker.
WASHINGTON, June 81. = With the
work of the national conventions COM
pleted and the campaign fairly on, con-
gress is anxious to finish its work SO
that members may get into the field and
work for the national tickets, and of
course for themselves. There are many
opinions expressed as to the time when
the session will end. The most general
one is that adjournment will take place
during the first ten days of August, but
there are those who believe the gavel
will fall by the middle of July.
From now on till the end of the ses-
sion speeches of an ultra political char
acter will be made, and the average man
will find it difficult to trace any con.
nection between the texts of majority
of them and the subjects on which they
are supposed to be delivered. Debate
on the appropriation bills in the senate
will give the Democratic senators
chance to say something about "the
billion dollar congress" consideration of
the bill providing for the election of
president and vice president by direct
vote of the people will give the Demo-
Gratis of the house their opportunity to
talk about the federal elections and
force bill.
Good Food for Thought.
Senator Vests resolution to have the
free wool bill reported from the finance
n hp 10 a1
will allow Republican and Democratic
senators to talk tariff to their hearts
content. In fact, every measure brought
forward for consideration, no matter
how unimportant it may be or how far
removed from political intention, will
serve as text for stump speeches ga
lore. The present week in congress
will be markedly different from the
several past weeks when so many sem
ators and representatives were absent at
Minneapolis or Chicago. 1t will be
week OF business and campaign talk.
The senate will pass the agricultural
islative, executive and judicial appro.
priation bill which the house put
through under suspension of tho rules.
Mr.. Vests free wool resolution will also
be discussed and probably acted on, and
ii the conference reports of some of the
appropriation bills now in conference
are made, both houses will be likely to
act on them before the week is out.
These bills in conference are the naval,
army, military academy, rivers and har-
bors, pension, District of Columbia, dip
lomatic and consular and Indian.
Speaker Crisp has notified all absent
ees to be iii the house tomorrow, and
with quorum present the week will be
productive of some lppiS1ntiOp
What Will Be Done.
The legislative programme for the
house is well outlined. Monday the
deficiency bill, the last of the general ap-
preparation bills for the house to act on,
will be passed and the rest of the day
will be given to the committee on Dis
trict of Columbia. Tuesday the COM
mittee on invalid pensions will be given
the floor, and Wednesday and Thursday
will probably be consumed in considera-
ton of joint resolutions proposing
amendments to the constitution so as to
provide for the election of president and
vice president by a direct vote of the
people, making their term of office six
years and changing the date of the
meeting of congress and the beginning
and ending of terms of president, vice
president, senators and representatives.
1t is also probable that the resolution
providing for an investigation of the
Reading railroad consolidation will also
be adopted. A resolution continuing
the appropriations in those departments,
the appropriation bills for which NAV
not have been passed by the end of the
week for the present fiscal year, which
ends June 30. for the first five weeks of
the next fiscal year, that is, until July 5,
will be passed.
