STAY THERE ALL SUMMER
Dispute Over Bills and LaFOIlette's
FiIibusfer Ties House and senate
TO Washington

Washington, Aug. 27.-Although
Congress was scheduled to adjourn
Saturday night, and all of the con-
gressmen expected to either be at
home or well on their journey from
Washington by this time, the House
and Senate both met again this morn
ing.
All this because the Senate has so
far failed to take out of the general
deficiency bill several items which the
democratic House will not agree to,
and the fact that Senator LaFollette
on Saturday afternoon started a fill
buster which he says will last until
the Senate votes upon adoption Of the
PenrOse resolution for an investiga-
tion of the campaign contributions
made, ii is alleged, by the Standard
oil Company to the republican national
campaign fund in 1904 and of the cor
respOndence between John d. Archbold.
George w. Perkins and others relative
to the $4,000 contributed in 1904.
When the Senate met this morning
at 10 o'clock new matter was injected
being a demand for an investigation
of the elections of Senators William
Chiffon and Clarence Watson of West
Virginia. The petition was signed by
Governor Glassock and other citizens
of West Virginia, through Senator
Gallagher. The petition called atten-
tion to charges of bribery made public
in reference to the elections of the
two senator's

nection with the Apple Show may be men
toned the agricultural EXHIBITS OF the
