 the capltaI-A Republican View of Ap-
 propriations.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. ao.-The final ac- tion os the president on the tariff bill is the only thing that stands between the senate and final adjournment It is tho general opinion that with tho bill passed upon by the chief executive adjournment could be arranged within a days time. The last of the appropriation bills receiv- ed the final consideration of tho senate during the past week, and even without the passing of the Murphy resolution there would not havo been much proba- bility of any general legislation owing to the likelihood of there being no quorum.
 Tho last roll call disclosed only n sen ators, two moro than a quorum, in the chamber. and the highest number of the day was 54. Several have left since, and 1t is entirely probable that the session of to- day will close without the number rcqui- site to do business in the face of objection. It Is thought probable. therefore, that the daily sessions from this time forward will be brief, and that only bills to which there is no opposition from any senator or over which there is no contest will be taken up.
 The Democratic managers hope to have the bill repeating the provision in the tar if bill cxempting alcohol used In arts and
 
 tions included in this list. There appears Likelihood of opposition on the Republican side, and if there should be this bill will necessarily go over until the next session. The House Ready to Adjourn. The Democratic members of the finance committee also hope to rport the supple mental tariff bills during the week, but do not expect action on them. Probably considerable time will be spent in cxccu- tive session in confirming nominations to which no one objects
 The house of representatives is ready to adjourn today. Its work has been com pleted. It Is only awaiting the action Of the senate and of the president. It is proba- ble that it will adjourn from day to day until congress djourns. It may be, how over, that the time will be partly occupied by giving days to several committees of | the house to consider such business us they care to bring before the house, but this question has not been decided. Speaker Crisp who was at Old Point Comfort, returned this morning. and MT. Outhwaitc, one of tho other members of the committee on rules, is out of the city, and no programme was arranged.
 Today, under the rules, is suspension day, as are also the last six days of the session, but as n resolution for adjourn mont will not Dc passed until the prcsi-
 
 reference to suspension days will not go into effect until the date of adjournment has been fixed by both houses. Appropriations a< Republicans Sec Them. WASHINGTON, Aug 20.-Representatiyc Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois. tho senior Republican member of the present appro- | priations committee of the house and who | was chairman of the appropriations com | mittec during the fifty first or Reed" congress, has prepared statement which | he will submit to tho house setting forth n 1 comparison from his standpoint of tho appropriations of the present and tho fir ty first congress.
