Johnson Not Discouraqed.

Norfolk, Va, May Especial. )--Gov. John A. Johnson of Minnesota spent several hours in Norfolk this evening en route to Atlanta and Birmingham where he will make speeches
 'The democrats are trying to pick a winner for President" said Governor Johnson, "and If they don't believe MT. Bryan is the man and want me to run, I am willing to make the race and do the best I can.
 "I believe that if President Roosevelt signs the Crumpacker bill it will defeat Taft for the republican nomination. The President, however cannot consistently sign the bill because he has taken stand for pure elections and to approve the measure with his signature would in- ;ure that movement in the south and elsewhere"
 ''Will your name be presented at the Denver convention in the event MT. Bryan has two-ttirds of the delegates pledged to him?"
 'T do not anticipate any such condi- tions," replied the governor.
 "I don't want to go into details on this subject, but I do not want to think there will be two-thirds of the delegates pledged to any man.
 Governor Johnson declared before he left for Atlanta that he would not be a candidate for governor of Minnesota on any condition.

Members Are At Sea Upon Mat
 ter of Adjournment
CANNON IS VERY DUBIOUS
Senate Will Probably Be Ready to Ad- journ on Specified Date, But the House Is Still Immersed
 In Business.

Washington, May 3.-(Special. .)-There is some prospect that Congress will be able to adjourn at midnight next Tues day. There have been so many false alarms on the subject. however, that no republican leader of the House will announce any definite plan as to ad- journment.
 Senator Aldrich notified the House leaders this morning that the Senate was ready to adjourn as soon as disposition should be made of the conference reports on the appropriation bills. After a con ference by the House leaders, Chairman Tawney of the committee on appropria- tions announced that the affairs of the House could be gotten into shape for ad- journment on Tuesday.
 Speaker Cannon is not so sure that this can be done. When asked about the matter he said:
 "In the shape that things now are I do not see how adjournment can be had for week."
 Senator Hale, however. said late today that he would prove a bad guesser if ad- journment is not had by D. m. Monday.
 Both the House and Senate are now working with view to an early adjourn ment. After an all day session both houses met again tonight and business was rushed along as fast as the demo- cratic flibuster, which pecessitates roll calls, would permit
 The House calendar is loaded down with conference reports. but most of them, other than the reports on the ap- propriation bills will be allowed to go over until the next session.
 The appropriation bills that have been acted upon and are now out of the way are: The legislative, executive and judi cial appropriation bill the District of Co- lumbia omnibus pension claims, fortifica- tions, agricultural, army, navy, diplomat ic, Indian and Military academy bills. Those that remain to be passed are: The pension appropriation bill, which is hung up in Congress on the Senates disagree ment to the House proposition to abolish all of the IS pension agencies throughout the country and pay all pensioners on the rolls from pension bureaus in this city, and on which there will be a compro- mise, reducing the number of agencies and paving the way for the abolition of all of them in a few years.
 
 which the two main items of difference, the Senate appropriation of $S,O0O,oo0 for a site for building for the state depart ment, department of justice and depart ment of commerce and labor, and the Senate appropriation of $700O00 for the Alaska-Y ulxon exposition, have already been practically settled in difference by striking out the s3,OOO,000 appropriation and reducing the Yukon appropriation +,c xx-;tl ola n a suitable to the House conferees.
 The postoffice appropriation bill which was sent back to conference through a disagreement of the House to the ship subsidy amendment inserted in the Sem ate and upon which no agreement has yet been reported by the conferees
 The public building bill to which $9,OOO,- 900 was added in the Senate and general deficiency bill on which no fight of im- portance Is anticipated.
