WAsHrSoroS, Aug. is.-Ths ANAL aet Of
the president on ths tariff bill b the only
thing that stands In the way Of the senate
and final adjournment. II u the general
opinion that with the bill passed upon by
tho chief executive adjournment could be
arranged within days time. The last
OF the appropriation bills received consid.
GRAFTON 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 gen.
cral leaislation, owing to q likelihood Of
there being no quorum.
The last roll coll yesterday discovered
only u senators, two more than quo
rum, In tho chamber and the highest num-
Der Of the day was "a. Several have left
since and u 10 entirely probable that the
session Monday will open without the
number requisite to do business In the
face Of objsctjon.
II 10 probable. therefore, that the daily
seesions from this time forward viii bs
brise and that only bills TO which there 10
no opposition from any senator, OF over
whleh there b no contest. will bs
taken up.
The democratic unanaeess hope to have
the bin passed rspealing the provision In
the tari6 bill exemptina alcohol used In
arts and in manufacture OF medicinal ar
tieies. There appears likelihood Of op-
position on the republican side, aud u
there should b this blll will nscsssarily
20 over until next session. The demo.
cratic members Of the finance committee
also hope to report supplemental tariff
balls during the week, but do not expect
action on them.
Probably NO considerable time viii bs
spent In executive session In confirming
neminations to which no one objects.
The house Of representatives is ready
to adjourn tomorrow; its work has been
semplstsd. 1t 10 only awaiting the action
Of the senate and the president. II 10
probable u will adjourn from day 10 day
until congress adjourus. II may b, how.
ever, that the time will b partially occu.
pied by giving days to several eommittsss
Of the house to consider such business 80
they care to bring before the house. But
this question has mot been decided.
Speaker Crisp, who 10 at Old Peint Com.
tort, will mot rsturA snntil Tomorrow
morning, and 0sthvaite. pps ee the other
members Of the eommittse On rules, 10
out Of the city and no programme will BE-
arranged until they return.
Tomorrow under the rules 10 suspen.
sion day, - are also tho last six days Of
the session, but - rssolutien for I'd.
5ournment could not be passed until the
president acts on the tariff bill, the rule
with reference to suspension days win not
20 into eject until the date Of adjourn.
mont has been fixed by both houses.
Representative Joseph 9. Cannon oe II.
linois, senior rspublican member Of the
present appropriations committee Of the
house, and who was chairman Of the ap.
preparations during the Pifty-flrst or
