HOUSE NOT IN SESSION,
Speaker Crisp Says Little is Left for
1t TO Do.

The House of Representatives was not IN
session today, and most of the members
were at home resting from the arduous tar
if labors of yesterday. Speaker Crisp and
a few members We're about the House
Mr.. Crisp said the expectation was that
the Senate would act on some of the sepa-
rate tariff measures for free sugar, free
iron ore, etc, before the adjournment, and
for that reason the close of the session
would depend good deal on the Senate.
Moreover, the rule adopted in the House
yesterday had given members ten days
leave to print tariff speeches. Heretofore
all speeches in the House have been from
the standpoint that the House bill would
prevail, and these hardly meet the existing
state of affairs.
Mr.. Crisp says there is nothing further
for the House to 90. beyond winding up
TWO Appropriation bills which are in con-
ference. Beyond this, the time given the
President TO go over the tariff bill and the
Senate 10 consider some of the separatc
tariff bills is all that pos tpones an adjourn
ment.

resolutions and there is no disposition to
deprive the District of it's day
When the day isgiven to Mr.. Hear! he

swing from bars and ropes inside a

masks they use alone cost fifteen dol

speak for the trio:

THE great thing is TO get the cords

bring the latter over the right shoulder,
