NEAR TALKING RECORD.
Congress Erpected to Pass T1oenty
Million Word Mark Soon.
[From The Tribune Bureau.l

pyasbirgton June 22-According to the off,
cial stenographers of the House and Senate. a
worlds talking record has been estaonshed py
this Congress. The number of words SPOKEN
under the great dome in the session now CLOS
ing is believed to be greater than that In any
session OF any legislative booy OF WHICH steho-
graphic notes were taken
All previous records OF the American Congress
have been beaten or will be before the session
closes The 5Oth Congress sat longer than the
present one, but not nearly so busy. III the
stenographers' records may be taken as an indi-
cation. THE Congressional Record, the official
report of the proceedings in the House and Sem
ate contains for this session up to date 92Oa
pages The average number of words to page
is 1900. and the total number of words reported
by the stenographers to date is 1S4OSOOO. At
an average of 100 pages a day for the rest of
the session the stenographers say that the final
record will be about 10000 pages. or 20.OOO.00O
words

accounted for in part by the growth In the
membership of the Senate and House. The lat

Other reasons are given however, by the
stenographers, many of whom have been on duty
since before the 50th Congress. There has been
a marked increase in the rapidity of the speak
ers taking part in the debates the floor they
say. This is especially noticeable in the House,
and is ascribed by those who make note of such
things to the perfecting Of the machinery OF the
House I'm the management of the debates Under
the present methods IL is declared. there has
been tightening OF the parliamentary cogs.
and. despite the almost unwieldy growth of the
House, its legisa tive machinery slips along much
more rapidly. every possible moment being used
in the actual transaction of business. The rec
ords show that there is no apprectable differ
ence in the number of leaves 10 print asked
for now and in the old days.
Not only on the floor. but in the committees,
mas the record of this session been tremendous
one. Bulky volumes of hearings have been
printed by all the committees and the stenogra-
piers reports oe these have amounted TO ad-
ditional twenty million words
