ON urgent business. None of the Demo-
cratic members had anything to say on
any subject except adjournment, ana
upon that all agree that Congress Will
get away some time this month. GER
tainly by the 1st Of August. Repre-
sentative w. A. Jones predicted in March
last when the extra session was called,
that it would not see adjournment
before the 1st of August, and he Is OF
the same opinion still. Mr.. Otey, who
is slightly indisposed, says he may have
to go home tomorrow. but that Con-
gress will adjourn by the 10th of the
present month. Others range between
the two dates, and all are anxious to get
away. as the heat here is oppressive and
extremely facilitating.
Republican leaders say the tariff bill
will not be in conference more than a
week. The plan of the Speaker is to al
low no discussion Of the bill when II is
returned from the Senate TO the House.
TARIFF BILL IN THE HOUSE.
Nearly all of the Senate amendments
will be rejected by the House, and the
bin will then be sent to the conferrees
at once. When their report comes back
TO the House the bill will be debated.
and the Democrats will probably wish
to make speeches to go into the Record.
chiefly for home use. Mr.. Reed will
hardly allow any lengthy orations 10 be
made. Not more than two days of five
minute speeches will be permitted, and
It is predicted that the bill, as 1t comes
from conference, will be practically
the Senate BILL and that the Speaker will
rush it through the House.
All this. some people think can be ac-
complished by the middle Of the present
month and then the members can so
home and consult their constituents on
the difference between Cleveland hard
times and Mckinley prosperity, until the
opening of the regular session or the
Fifty-fifth Congress, in December next.
GUBERNATORIAL CONTEST.
Mr. r n. Conrad. of Prince William
county. is I'm the city. He will attend the
meeting of the county convention to elect

rad saws there will be n hot contest be-
tween the friends of Messrs. Tyler and
Ellyson and ne spoke quite encouraging
lv of the outlook for the latter in his
county and section
Representative Jones, who has been de-
tanned at his home in Richmond county
by serious illness in his family, and who
returned to-day. said he was uniformed
as TO the gubernatorial contest in the
State. but that both the candidates had
strong friends throughout his district.
and there would be a good many divided
delegations therefrom. He placed no re-
of
he had heard since his return, and he
said. significantly, that the bulk of the
State delegations were yet to be heard
from.
