WASHINGTON, Aug 26
IF there ever had been u lingering
hope of more legislation during the
remainder of this session OF con-
gress that hope was dispelled by
remark made behind closed doors Fri
day afternoon by Mr. Quay. that it was
to be understood that ere should he
no more legislation at this session in
connection with contested matters.
This WAS acquiescei in, and few mo
ments later an adjournment WAS had
The closing days of the session have
been marked by mum her of peculiar
Incidents, and the unexpected has frs-
quently happened. Ols of the Incl
dents referred to has been the transac-
tion OF legislative business behind closed
doors Senator's of both parties have a
number of measures that require only
the final action of the senate to enact
them, but the Republicans were not
willing to provide the quorum, nor
would they permit business to proceed
In open session by unanimous consent
Tor fear the Democrats would by some
means find the opportunity to make the
campaign speeches they have prepared
For this reason legislative business
against which no objection was made
was transacted behind closed doors by
general consent Thursday and Friday.
ORATORS sILENCED.
Under this arrangement, no speeches
could be made and the Record was pre-
vented from becoming the vehicle for
the dissemination of alleged campaign
literature.
Republicans we're not, however, the
only ones who offered otjsctions to the
consideration of contested matters.
Mr.. Blanchard has effectually
blocked, for this season, at least, any
effort to change the rules 80 as to pro
vide for cloture.
Mr.. Blackburn wanted to have his
committee sit during recess and con-
sider the many amendments to the
rules that have been referred to his
committee. He asked consent to this
arrangement Friday. but Mr.. Bsn-
Dhard. who sees in cloture the possibil-
lty OF free sugar, entered an emphatic
objection.
There will probably be no legislation
Of any sort tomorrow or Tuesday.
To-morrow's session will probably be
short, affording more than anything
else an opportunity for the vice presi-
dent to announce his signature to var
lous bills. A few odds and ends may
be cleared up, but nothing more than
that. Tuesday the president will send
message with his approval or dis.
approval OF the various matters that
reach him at the last moment, and at
Do'clock the second session of the Fifty
third congress will stand adjourned.
HOUSE ADJoURNs TOMORROW.
According to the terms of the resolu-
ton agreed to Fridsy. Speaker Crisps
gavel will fall at 9 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon in token of the close of the
present session, 1t is not expected
that any business will be transacted in
the interim-c tainly nothing Of any
Importance. A few private bills may
be passed and some additions made to
the calendar upon reports from COM
committees, but that is all.
On Tuesday II joint committee of the
house and senate will be appointed to
wait upon the president and ask him if
he has any further communication to
make to congress. and upon its report
that he has nothing more to say the
two houses will be declared adjourned

The Pueblo Opinion is very wrathy
because the REGISTER dares oppose
Pueblo's state canal scheme. They
threaten to boycott Lamar, and say no
more of our produce will be sold to
Pueblo. Also they declare we cannot
defeat the bill. Let us see! The last
Legislature defeated the scheme, not
withstanding one of our members
went back on his district for Pueblo.
This time the valley delegation will
be solid against the scheme and will
fight to finish. As to threat not to
buy our produce, 1t makes us weary.
In the first place if they take our
water supply we won't raise any pro-
duce to sell to anyone. and secondly
we have vet to hear of Pueblo buying
much of It. If the Opinion had con-
suited the Pueblo Wholesale houses
they would not have made such
foolish bluff. They would learn that
