Speaker Cannon VIII Probably Give Out Names Tomorrow,
ADJOURNMENT IS THE TOPIC
House Leaders Take the Position That Responsibility for Termination of the Session Shall Rest
 With the Senate.

Washington, November 2s-The inter- esting feature of the coming weeks pro- ceedings in the house will be the an- nouncement of committees by Speaker Cannon. The announcement is looked for Tuesday, on which day the first session of the week will be held. The speaker says, however, that there may be delays, In which case the members will not know their several fates as to committee assign ments until Friday when it is proposed to hold the next session, or perhaps until Saturday,
 In just what manner the extra session is to end, whether by joint resolution of the two houses. or by the operation of the constitutional provision converting the regular session on the first Monday in December, is another interesting feature for the weeks developments. The prece- dents on this point are being spread be- fore the speaker for his guidance.
 Responsibility Rests With Senate.
 House leaders have taken the position that no matter how the extra session ends the responsibility for it's termination, in the absence of the completion of the Cu- ban legislation, shall not rest with the lower branch of congress. For this req son. there Is some objection to joint res- olution, unless that form of adjournment should come from the senate Senate pre- cedent, which Is a matter of some weight n that body, is to look for an adjournment resolution from the house. This has been the method of adjourning extraordinary sessions of congress heretofore and would seem to warrant the prediction that the regular manner will prevail, and that some time during the week the house will make it's proposition for adjournment to the senate. which will be accepted.
 In the absence of such a resolution the plan suggested so far as the house is con- cerned, is to take a recess on Saturday until few minutes before 12 o'clock Monday. than to adjour., tie extra ses- sion and assembled the regular session precisely on the hour of 12 The extra session. will be designated the first ses- sion of the fifty y-eighth congress, and the regular session the second.
 Minority Will Shape Events.
 In the absence of a quorum in the house during the week. the minority In that body will be in position 10 shape the course of events to some extent Repre- sentative Williams, the minority leader, announces that when the house meets Tuesday the attention of the country will be again called to the spectacle of republican congress in session, but doing nothing"
 Shoul the leaders of the majority not take this curtain lecture gooo naturedly, and peremptorily call it off. the point will be made by the minority that no quorum is present, which, under the ,t4Ia will a house each day. At each one of these meetings the same effort will be made by the minority to emphasize the inaction of congress.
 Should the weeks session proceed with out a quorum in this matter, it will be im- possible to originate or consider an ad- iournment resolution in which case the extra session necessarily will expire by limitation
