SENATE ADJOURNMENT AT HAND.
Not Many More Important Places to BE
Filled" FudCing" for Quorum.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 6.-The ap-
proach OF the adjournment of the present
extraordinary session OF the Senate IS ap-
parent from the way senators are leaving
the city. When the Senate convened this
morning il was found almost impossible
to get a voting quorum even on call Of
the Senate. A quorum was only obtained
by members switching their places and
straining senatorial courtesy point or
two. Among those who have left town are
Senators Fry. Pettigrew. Dixon. Galllnger,
Hale. WOlcott, and Teller. Mr.. Quay has
been IN Florida for some time recuperatlng
his health and Mr.. Villas is of fishing, II
having been impossible to notify hlm Of
the death Of his daughter. 1t IS not likely
that he will return 10 Washington tins
session. This morning Mr.. Allison started
for his home, IN Dubuque. Iowa.
Under the circumstances II is easy 10
see that the hour for the dissolution or
tins session must soon come. and the pas
sage Of the resolutions reorganizng the
elective officers of the Senate only brings
that hour nearer.
There are now but two or three impor-
tant foreign missions to be filed and the
District OF Columbia Court of Appeals.
As soon as these are determined upon. the
President VIII notify the Senate that he
mas no further business TO submit, and an
adjournment Will be taken at once.
