WASH MOON. May 23.-The Sem

Oil the floor Of the Senate that an
adjournment next Monday at 2 O'Clock

had scarcely gone forth when Speaker

The House still has to act upon

Importance which involve no apprO.

The Senate Is much further advanc-
cd and particularly has nothing to
do except to act upon Tho sundry

There has come to be some little
feeling between the two houses. but
it is not OF sufficient intensity to
create any serious complications.
