MAY Is TOO EARLY.
The Senate Will Not Think OF Adjourning
Before June l.


Before June /.
Washington, May 6.-The house reso-
luton for final adjournment on the 18th
of the present month is considered in the
senate as too early a date. The resolu-
ton was referred to the committee on ap-
preparations, and will 1Iet be reported
back to the senate until the appropriation
bills are in fair way to be out of the
road within a known period of time 1t is
safe to assume that Mr.. Allison will not
consider the resolution for at least ten
days, and the conclusion of senators who
have discussed the question with men,
bers of the committee is that adjourn
ment will not be had earlier than June l.
The only snags in the way-the PETER
resolution to invistogate the bond sales
and the Dupont case-will be out of the
way early by agreements as to when the
vote shall be taken, and it is expected
that nothing will then interfere with the
continuous consideration of appropria-
ton bills and the reception of conference
reports on such bills as may be in the
hands of the conferrees. June 1 is as
early date as any one in charge of leg
iSlatiOn will predict,
