that bill from four to two, occurred In

Mr.. Boutelle undertook to chastise
some Of the senators for their incon.

of the past winter and the bellicose
resolutions introduced in the senate
and then sarcastically contrasted the
war talk Of some of the senators with
their votes to reduce the number Of

WHY Congress IL Liksly to Run ON IN Wv
Dscsmbsr. 1S
WASHINGTON. Especial. There haa
been an apparent veering In the opin-
ion that this session Of congress will
not adjourn until December. The
opinion has generally prevailed that
adjournment would be about June /.
But the snarl in which the senate en-
tangled itself yesterday without q
moments warning and without . sur
face reason, has raised many sus-
picions that, perhaps, that al, it was
no part Of somebody's program that
adjournment should come about June
l, as has been given ont heretofore.
Inquiry has developed the fact that
Senator German, chairman OF the
Democratic caucus committee, has in
formed certain Democratic senators
that adjournment was mot desired
until after the st. Louis convention.
That course Is for party reasons. II
the Democrats keep congress In ses-
sion until after the st. Louis conven-
ton in the hope that the Republicans
will magnify and increase, the Repub-
licans can be depended upon to keep
the session going until the Chicago
convention, in confident expectation
that the result tthere will Do such as
to cause the debate in congress-, and
especially in the senate, to take such
shape rs will accentuate the Demo
cratic differences on the monetary
question. In fine, It is game Ut
which two can play II either does. To
hold congress here until after the
conventions have acted will mean
that the session will last at least till
August l. In connection with this
question Speaker Reed, some days be-
fore he began to get baCksets in New
England, said, as to adjournment.
that It would be about June l. This
was taken at the time to mean that he
wanted to adjourn by that date, but
that II that proved impossible no was
willing then to remain in session In
definitely. Since that remark was
made, he has reasonsifOr prolonging
rather than for shortening the session.
He Is now understood to be willing to
let the bars down and to give the
"colts" chance to run. Still, it must
be remembered that tho senate has
only three appropriation bills TO con.
sider-the river and harbor, the gener-
al deficiency and the District OF Col
umbia. Ordinarily, neither OF these
would be the subject OF much conten-
tion, and 1t Is not believed thev will
