WAsuyGrox, Nov. 2.-The question OF
adjournment Is nowthe absorbing topic
among members OF both houses OF Con-
gress. Senator Gray said that Con-
gress would adjourn on Friday. Speaker
Crisp says that the house will be ready
to adjourn at almost any time and
thinks that Friday or Saturday will be
decided upon. The delay is necessary
in order that the senate may clear up
many nominations which are now BE-
fore it. Among these is the nomination
OF Mr.. Hornblower for associate justice
OF the supreme court. Mr. Cleveland is
very anxious to have this nomination
confirmed before an adjournment. be.
sides there are n number OF other nom
nations which it is thought important
to have acted on before the dissolution.
The administration is said to be auXioua
to have passed before Adjournment the
bill extending the Chinese law.
1t is understood that several conces'
sious have been made on this account.
The senate committee on foreign rela'
lions Mt first determined to pass simply
the first section OF the bill rs IT came
from the house cutting off all the amend
ments which Mr.. Geary offered and
which were adopted in the house. me
reason for this is that it is feared by tho
friends OF the bill that ii any amend
ments are made to it, that 1t Will iall to
pass before adjournment. 1t is probable
that even the amendment offered by
Senator Squire appropriatlng SlOO,OOO
to carry the deportation and exclusion
into elect will be voted down because
OF the fear OF failure Of the entire bill III
the house. Its not believed thatthere
will be quorum in the house until the
regular meeting in December. Many
members have already gone or will be
80 busy getting ready to 60 that they
will not be able to attend the sessions
OF the house which will be held from
now until adjournment.
All talk OF recess has practically been
abandoned.
Mr.. Wilson, OF Weat Virginia, chair.
man OF the committee on ways and
means, does not want an adjournment.
He does not think that there would be
anything painod by taking a recess un-
Ill the goth oil November, US the COM
mttee would not be able to report the
tariff bill Mt that time. He would pre-
Ter to have the committee at liberty 10
work without interruption until the
regular session. Another feature OF the
case is the way it would leave the nom
nations in the senate upon which no
action has been taken. II the senate
should adjourn without aching OH any
oil the nominations they would lapse,
and would either have to be made
again or new appointments made.
1t seems there are quite a number OF
nominations that were made during the
recess, where the men are now holding
office and the combinations have been
held up on account OF charges which
have been made and factional rights.
These offices would at once become
vacant by reason oil the adjournment OF
the senate without action. 1t is the
opinion OF many senators that all nom
nations should be disposed OF, and as
soon as the Chinese bill is out OF way.
the senate will spend great deal al
time in executive session in order to
clear its calendar OF nominations. There
s no doubt that adjournment will be
arranged for not later than Saturday
whether the combinations are made or
not
