ANXIOUS TO ADJOURN
Senate and House Linger for Re-
ports on the Tariff.
NO BUSINESS OF IMPORT AHEAD
The Pension Appropriations Greatly Re-
duced-TotaI of Other Appro-
prlations Increased.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l9.-The final
the only thing that stands in the way
of the senate and final adjourn Inent.
it Is the general opinion that with the
bill passed upon by the chief executive
adjournment will tie arranged within a
few days time. The last of the appro-
ton of the senate during the past week
and even without the passage of the
Murphy resolution there would not
have been much probability of any
general legislation, owing to the likeli-
hood of there being no quorum. The
last roll call yesterday discovered only
As senators, two more than a quorum,
In the chamber, aud the highest num-
Der of the day was 50. Several have
left since, and it is entirely probable
that the session Monday will open
without the number requisite TO do
business in the face OF all objection. 1t
is probable, therefore, that the daily
sessions from this time forward will he
brief and that only bills to which there
is no opposition from any senator, or
over which there is nc contest, will be
taken up.
The democratic managers hope to
have the bill repeating the provision
in the tariff bill exempting alcohol
used In the arts and in the nanufac-
ture of medicinal articles There APP
pears likelihood of opposition on the
republican sid. aud If there should be
this bill will necessarily go over until
next session.
The democratic members of the
finance committee also hope to report
aug Elemental tariff bills during the
week, but do not expect action ON
them. Probably no considerable time
will be spent in executive session In
confirming nominations to which NC
one objects.
The House Ready to Adjourn.
The house of representatives is ready
TO adjourn tomorrow. Its work has
been completed. 1t is only awaiting
the action of the senate aud president.
1t Ia probable that it will adj ourn from
day to day until congress adjourns. 1t
may be- however, that the time will be
partially occupied by giving days to
several committees of the house 10 con.
slider such business as they care tt

Crisp, who is at Old Point Comfort

of the session, but as the resolution fo
adjournment will not be passed unit

rule with reference to suspension day
will not go into effect until the date o
