HousE-No business OF Importance trans
acted Friday
wAsHINGroN, Oct SO-Nothing OF import
ance was transacted in either branch Of Con
gress Saturday Now that the question OF un
constitutional repeal has been practically set
tied, aud It Is only matter OF q few hours
when the Sherman act will be wiped OF the
statute books in so far as II completes th'
monthly pure base OF 4,bQ0OOO ounces OF silver
public interest concentrates in au earnest de
sire for an adjournment Of this extra session
The point is made that congress having beer
called In extraordinary session for the specific
purpose Of repeating the purchasing clause o
the Sherman act, that duty once performed con
gress should adjourn. This argument has NJ
| weight however The mere fact that congress
was called together for the purpose OF certain
! legislation is no reason why, that legislation
having tecn enlctci other legislation may no
be entered upon The question OF adiournmen
rests entirely with the individual interests Of
the members OF congress themselves
