LAST WEEK OF CONGRESS.
Adjournment on Next Thursday Not
Improbable.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-There ore but
| two obstacles now in the way OF the early
adjournment of congress. They are the
worlds fair amendment to the sundry civil
appropriation bill and the pending anti-op-
tions bill in the Senate When they are dis
posed OF, or at the least the Hrst Of them, the
session will undoubtedly terminate AS to the
first, there may be difficulty of a serious
nature, bat 1t is hardly expected that the
friends OF the anti ti-options bill can carry out
their threat Of keeping congress together
until it acts upon the bill.
la the Senate the week will probably
be characterized by the number of
speeches delivered. They will cover
much ground and many subjects,
ranging from the tariff through
the relations of capital aud labor and re-
| turning to the anti options bill. Whenever
the oonferees on the sundry civil or de-
ficienoy appropriation bills-the only re-
manning appropriation bills-are ready TO
report they will command the instant at
tention Of the Senate, and 1t may be that
some time will be consumed Ia discussion OF
the nature Of the instructions that will be
given TO the conferees in regard to the few
points of disagreement which remain un-
| adjusted. Otherwise the Senate will
| probably spend the time before adjourn
msnt in listening to speeches or acting upon
bills on the calendar that arouse no opposi-
tion.
| ANXIOUS TO GET HOME.
Nine-tenths OF the members OF the House
havR fbaip Op s.di -
gress this week and the proceedings OF the
House will be largely governed by the de-
! slres of the members to get away.
Action on the conference reports on the
two remaining appropriation bills will be
awaited impatiently. The conference
report on the few items OF dispute yet
| left in the deficiency bill will probably
be made to the House tomorrow and it Is
| thought that this bill can be put through
its last stages in a short time, though the
| republican members possibly may delay Its
| consideration because the RaHm pension
| office resolution is to be taken up tomorrow
| Immediately after consideration of the de-
| ficlency bill is concluded. The debate over
the pension office investigation il likely TO
| be warm and interesting
the o0nferees on the sundry civil bill to-
| day agreed upon report which will be
| presented to the House tomorrow. 1t will
| not be called up for action In that body,
| however, until the following day. In order
that it may meanwhile be printed, and also
| that it may not interfere with the special
| order OF the Raum committee The report
will show that the conferees have reached
complete agreement upon all the Senate
amendments some 300 in numberl
| except the worlds fair amendment
| lin bulk) and upon it a Disagreement will
be reported. A majority OF the House con-
ferees will recommend that the House in,
| sist on its non-concarrencs in the Senate
| amendment, which will be met by a counter
motion that the House recede from its dis
| agreement to the Senate amendment There
NAV be sons preliminary skirmishes In ad-
| vance of the vote, with view Of enabling
members who have hlibustering intentions
TO learn the strength of the friends and op-
| ponents Of the proposed government appro-
| priation In aid Of the worlds fair.
| ADJOURNMENT NEXT IN ORDER.
| After this item is finally settled one way
or the other the members of the House look
to an early adjournment Of congress, with
little business of a general nature trans
acted In the interval, and those who be-
lieve tho proposed long flibustering against
the. worlds fair appropriation will not
| not amount 60 much say congress
will certainly adjourn before the end
| Of this week. Barring a successful 'hlibus-
| ter" movement there seems to be no doubt
| that final Adjournment can be effected as
soon even as Thursday IL, as generally be-
| Heved majority Of both houses desire TO
| adjourn Immediately after the passage of
the last appropriation bill.
