Special Correspondence.
Washington, June 26.--Wheh there
was no longer any prospect Of bringing
forward the Cuban reciprocity bin II
the senate. the atmosphere cleared and
the way was open to an adjournment
Of the present session, The end might
have been July J. but the house man
ayers had generously given twice as
much time as was actually necessary
for the consideration of the Philippine
government bill, and three days were
lost That bin must be considered In
conference before II can become a law,
which will be likely to make the add
jurnment close to the national holt
day II may be the Ord of July or It
may run over to the Sth. Nearly ey-
cry one seems anxious to get away
early and before Independence day II
possible, but there are shrewd leaders
who seem TO think that complications
viii arise to postpone adjournment un-
til about July I or s.
CRowDING CENSUS WORK.
The month of June has Witnessed
busy times in the census Office Direc-
tor Merriam has had to reduce the
force to permanent basis and at the
same time close up the work Of GER
tain reports by the end of the fiscal
year. He has had TO dispense with
many clerks, while those retained have
had 10 work overtime to finish the
work. The director has been very sue
cessful and will have much of tn.
work published Ave years in advance
of the usual time. The splendid or
ganlzatlon Of the bureau has made II
possible for him to accomplish these
results.
KEEP ON FIGHTING.
Every session OF Congress in the city
of Washington makes a fight for a
memorial bridge to connect the city
with Arlington national cemetery.
Every year II is defeated by members
Of the house who do not believe that
the government should construct q
bridge, memorial or otherwise, costing
about S3,00Jo0D which will be largely
In the interest OF property owners on
both sides of the Potomac. Virginia
Joins those interested In Washington
IN advocacy Of the bridge, but cannot
rally enough support to pass the meas
ure even after II Is attached to an APP
bill. Though defeated this
year. It's friends promise to come for
ward again next season.
PACIFICATION FROM AKRON.
When there Is trouble among Ohio
Republicans and something IN the way
Of harmony Is necessary. Gen. Dick
the representative Of the Akron dis
trict, is called upon 70 settle the trouble
and bring about harmony. He is the
kind ol politician who can see how
10 adjust differences. and advice from
him Is received by both factions In a
contest and often Gcted upon. There is
another side TO Dicks character when
he falls 70 secure harmony and there
must be q fight 10 the finish he Is
right IN the thick Of It until victory is
secured. And Dick Is generally on the
side OF almost every contest
In which he takes part Some people
assert that In time instead Of Repre-
sentative Dick or Gen" Dick It viii |
be Gov" Dick.
WILL FIGHT A COMMISSION.
Five members Of the committee on
abor see IN the proposed commission
10 inqire into the condition Of the /
1olored people Of the country another |
form of the Crumpacker resolution. |
They have made quite an extensive |
report against the bin and say that !
such commissions are unnecessary and /
hat they believe that the commission |
would spend more of rs time at max |
Ing investigations which Crumpackcr !
desired than il would in considering |
particular subjects intended under the |
bill. They also say that such IN |
1ulries would not be OF advantage 10 /
The great mass Of negroes and would |
csult In a blow to the Industrial de-
Velopment Of the south. Anything |
20 a revival OF the race ques-
ion stirs up animoslty and antagon-
SIN and tends 90 retard business. In !
losing the report they say
We baleve that the logical and in
'vitable effect OF the passage Of this
bill VIII be To weaken the powers OF
he several states and win lead 10 an
nwarranted Interference In their az
airs by the federal government"
