Washington, March 16-(Speclal)-Th
administration has abandoned its effort to
force an early adjournment of congress.
So unanimous has been the expression
from democrats and so general from re-
put,lcans, in both the senate and the
house against any adjournment in advance
of the receipt of the report Of the Maine
board and the determination Of definite
policy in this Cuban business. that Presl-
dent Mckinley and his advisers have aban-
doned the idea of getting congress off his
hands"
This discovery explains the specific dec
laraton which General Grosvenor made
the floor of the house today, that there
would be no effort and was no desire on
the part of the administration to control
the action Of congress.
A movement inaugurated among the
democrats of the house today looking to
caucus to determine upon methods OF
vigorous action in case It becomes apparent
that the president intends to hold up the

the solution of the problems of tro-
