WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 1o.-lSpe-
cialD-SpeakCr Reed Is in towering rage
This is an unusual condition for the Car
of the House of Representatives TO Dc
i'm. and the gravest fears are entertainer
on all sides as to the calamities ana us
asters that may result TO the country aS
a consequence. TO begin with, the House
Republican conferrees on the tariff Dill
have imbibed the aggravated violence Oh
temper Of the Speaker; the senate Ike
publican conferrees are resentfuily hao
al the attitude he has assumed, and IN
deed the entire Republican contingent lH
the Senate is terribly indignant at the I'M
nertinent and iusolent interference Of MI.
Reed with the tariff bill
To-day Reeds rage IS somewhat sup
messed. but still h is sullen ana sluO
born. Those who saw nm yes'eiu,s'
when the violence Of his temper DioH0
loose. say il was something aWlu 10 De
hold The scene H. said TO have tdheh
10 IN inc narble-room of the Senate
whith,r the Speaker had gone after the
Horse had recessed until to-day. lheIe
he encountered some Of the senatorial
advocates OF the sugar schedule OF MS
rortv and a discussion ensued "hiCh
hroueht out Mr. Reed in a manner thd'
has ro precedent i'm his history. Wheh
&, n,as stated that the Senate would MOI
,e.ads from the Sugar-Trust schedule'
the veins in his throat and on MS Ioie-
read sSelled; his face, nOrmally Hol'u'
qraw purple. and with an lmprec"'ioi'
that was appalling 10 his hearers nc
said ne would stay here till dooinsd"y
hefore tn tariff bill should become

IL is i'm IT,.

note 80, H. s.,d
a.. 40 seen Reed a little bit MAD
hsfore hut he was the maGaest man
- ~ and he was mad with his own
-, associates. Republican Senators
arT penres natives who stood around
80 terrified. struck dumb, some seem
tnglv paralyzed, but, 10 tell the truth /
r,tber enjoyed the performance, ana
sh,u never forget II. II Mr.. Reed stahds
~, what he said, shall feel gfateiul TO
him the balance Of my days.
ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS-
Adjournment is now indefinitely de-
ferrrd. II was apparently at mana a
fev days ago, but since the sugar war
bas broken out with such bitterness ana
he big Speaker has taken such an ac-
i've mart in H. the predictions are
nat Congress may be here fully
month longer. II not more. The House
conferrees declare they will rot surrey
ar IA the Sugar Trust, and the SEM
tors are equally stubborn In support OIL
H. ,rrst. The best that can De hoped
sor ~ that the extreme heat OF the CITY
and ~ the Capitol will cause one side
or the other to surrender or adjourn
vithout the passage Of tarin DILL De
Tore very long. Everybody is anxious
10 yet away from Washington, when -
now in the heating process. The streets
are becoming hotter and hotter every
d,,v and they will soon be almost I'M
bearable for the senators.
