PRESSING ADJOURNMENT
All but Three Appropriation Bills Passed
by the Senate.

The republican leaders In the House are
pressing for an early adjournment, and 1t
is said that their course meets the full
approval of the President. All save three
of the appropriation bills have gone to the
Senate. The post office bill was taken UP
in the House today and the appropriations
and naval committees are working daily
to get the last two bills, the general de-
ficiency and naval. into the House. The
action of the appropriations committee in
preparing the general deficiency bill at this
time is the best evidence of the intention
Of the leaders to secure an early adjourn
ment.
This bill Is always held back until the
last, as 1t contains all the odds and ends
Usually not reported until a more or less
definite understanding as to firal adjourn
nent has been reached. May 1 has been
fixed by several promin ent House republic
cans as the date beyond which the session
probably will not be prolonged
The democrats of the House generally
favor an early adjournment, although there
is not unanimity among them on this point
Neither is there complete harmony on the
republican side of the House as to an early
adjournment. Many of the republicans be-
lieve Congress should remain in session I'M
til the Cuban question IS finally and effec-
tually cleared up, but they would hardly
