Congress should get into quarrel, and
RIM into next week, the President will,
of course, remain in Washington as long
as the legislators do. If any event,
however, he plans 10 leave on the even
ing of the day Congress sdjourns. 1t is
the Presidents Intention this year to
take the first real vacation he enjoyed
since the summer of 1908. Accompany.
ing President Roosevelt on the special

tive Clerk Netherland and others. The
Presidents horses we're seat to Oyster Bay
yesterday.
The days OF legislative 'feverish &C
tivity" are at hand. Congress, today
and tomorrow, will give the country an
object lesson OF what it can accomplish
when it really wants to. Nothing seems
to threaten the success of the plan to
let Congress adjourn tomorrow after
noon. A resolution providing for such
adjournment at o'clock has for several
days been reposing in The pocket of Rep
resentative Dalzell. But it is not to is
sue forth unless every possibility of a
slip twixt the cup and the lip shall have
been eliminated. When the conference
reports are in such shape that failure of
the legislation upon which Speaker Can
non insists is beyond the pale of the
people, the Dalzell resolution will be
adopted by the House. Not until
then, says Speaker Cannon. He'll
be blanked if he lets the Senate
get him int a corner, he asserts.
The only real obstacle yet existing is
the meat inspection provision of the
agricultural bill. The conferecs have
agreed on all bat the question of cost and
dating the labels. The House has prac-
licaly issued an ultimatum on the sub
iect-the government to pay the cost
and the labels not to be dated. Once
more the question has been referred
back to the conferees. AS soon IS the
Senate can be brought to recede the
decks are clear. The public building
bill was passed by the Senate last night
and will 90 to conference today. An
agreement will be reached in the
shape of a compromise some where
between the amounts appropriated IN
the House bill and those added or de-
Quoted by the Senate. The conference G.
port on the railroad rate bill has been
approved by the House and awaits to-
days action of the Senate. The general
deficiency bill, the last of the supply
bills, passed by the Senate yesterday,
comes back to the House today. The
sundry civil bill conference report is yet
to be acted on, but the 81, 1926, 900 ap
preparation for the jamestown Exposi
lion, wbich it contains, is practically as
sured. The pure food bill remains to
be adopted and final action has not been
had on the naturalization bill. 1t seems
like formidable array, but it does not
take much time to dispose of matters
when the real rush is on. Unless an
unforeseen difficulty arises, adjournment
tomorrow ia assured.
The conferees on meat inspection again
came to disagreement today, but as
surances have been received that the
Senate will recede and allow the bill to
be passed so that the government will
bear the cost of inspection aud the labels
will not be dated. With this bill out of
the way, House leaders now predict adj
iournment late tonight.
In the Senate this evening Mr.. Bailey
took exceptions to Mr.. Tillman's utter
auces deorgstory to lawyers during a
discussion of the anti-pass provision in
the railroad rate bill. Mr.. Tillman in
reply said it was the lobbying attorney
he was after.
President Roosevelt presided today
over probably the last regular Cabinet
meeting of the summer. All the men,
bers were present except Secretaries Met
calf and Bonaparte who are out of the

bundle of documents which are sup
posed to have related 10 the Standard
Oil prosecutions and Postmaster Gen

White House by messenger who

1:15 p. m. the postmaster general took
up the documents with the President.

ton creating a commission to inspect

park.
