Congress Not Likely to Continue Il
Session After June Is.
Washington. May 22.-Prerenf indi
cations point to an adjournment of con.
gress about the 18th of June. The
great debate of the session has beer
brought to close. the railroad rate
bill has been passed by the senate. and
the way is now clear Tor the regular sp-
preparation bills and other important
legislation that demands consideration
In the house OF representatives tue

and will make short work OF those now
awaiting consideration, namely, the
agricultural, legislative, Dis
'rict OF Columbia and military academy
bills. The senate, in spite OF its repu-
lstion for long debates, can dispose OF
bills in remarkably short
periods when the time for adjournment
approaches. 1t always does. So the

considered in such shape as to permit
