what prospect there was Of an adjourn
ment OF the Senate.
II do not wish TO pry into any legisla-
tive secrets" he said, but II would be
gratifying 10 many senators on this
side TO know what are the plans OF those
on the other side In respect TO the length
OF the session. Perhaps the Senator from
Maryland (Mr. Gorman) may be able TO
throw some light on the question"
There are no legislative secrets as far
as / am concerned" retorted Senator
George, who went on to press his re-
quest, which was granted. In a few mo-
ments Senator German arose and re-
piled to Senator Hoar, saying that he
was willing to be perfectly frank speak
ing OF the matter. AS far as he knew,
he said, the only thing in the way Of
adjournment or a recess was the bill
amending the Chinese exclusion act. 1t
was important. he said that action be
taken on this bill before the session
is epded. and he thought that that mea-
sure might have to be taken up. Beyond
that, however he saw nothing in the
way OF an adjournment or a recess.
The bill to which he refers has been
referred to the Committee on Foreign
Relations and reported back by Senator
Gray without amendment IL is now on
the calendar Of the Senate and there is
nothing 10 prevent its being taken up
and considered at any time.
Senator Mitchell OF Wisconsin does not
approve Of the suggestion. that Congress
at once adjourn. Il think" he said
this morning. that the interests Of the
country and Of the party would be served
n Congress should continue its session
until the time the regular session con-
venes. there is nothing 20 be gained by
an adjOurnn. .ent at this time. and on the
contrary, II we remain In session and go
ahead with the ordinary business OF Con-
gress we may hope for an early adjourn
ment Of the regular session. There is
great deal Of work 10 be done, and we
NAV as we'll get at II now. II would
certainly demonstrate 10 the coTntry That
we are not disposed to shirk our work.
and from a party point of view 1t would
b, n good thing for the Democrats after
this hard fight TO go ahead with other
business which will attract public atten-
ton and interest. Moreover, the CONF

grand total Of 21.147212 paid admissions
the Worlds Fair was officially closed last
