first time since he became the presiden-
tial nominee on the democratic ticket. but
scarcely half a dozen persons saw him.

ital, Seagirt, n. J., the governor slipped
away on a train to New York, followed
by newspaper correspondents. Few peo-
pie recognized him on the way and when
he reached the Pennsylvania station he
walked inconspicuously to the lunchroom,
where he sat perched on a high stool
and obtained over the counter a sand
witch and a glass Of buttermilk. He hur-
ried away within a few minutes In tax
icab to a local club, where he met Will

CONGRESS SEES END
Adjournment Is Probable in
Next Two Weeks.
MUCH WORK UNFINISHED
Several Appropriation and Other I'M
portant Bills Yet to Be
Acted Upon.

The adjournment of the present session
prediction made by prominent senator's
last night after it had been determined
that the trial of the impeachment charges
against Judge Archibald Of the Commerce
Court would be postponed until next win
ter.
Senator Penrose. chairman Of the
finance committee. expressed the opinion
that Congress would be away two weeks
from last night. and other republicans
agreed with him.
Inc passage of several of the big ap-
preparation bills and of the Panama
canal Dill are the principle matters to be
disposed of before the gavel will fall.
Inc Senate had determined to get these
out OF the way in the shortest number Of
days possible. and it began operations by
hiking the meeting hour for Monday at
~ O'Clock. This early meeting will prob
ably continue until the end Of the session.
Bills Now Pending.
The fight over the clerks tenure of Of
fice and Commerce Court provisions in
the conference report on the legislative
appropriation bill will be the first order
of business tomorrow. When that is out
of the way the post Office appropriation
bill will be taken up again. The fight
over the good roads provision will come
first and then several days will probably
be necessary to dispose of the parcels
post provision. The general deficiency
appropriation bill will probably be re-
ported to the Senate toward the end of
this week, and 1t is not expected to take
long in its consideration.
IHe conferences q nd
tariH Dlils promise to take some time.
The sundry civil bill. recently sent to con-
ference, has over 4OO amendments, and
the conferees will have a struggle over
the provision for the tariff board, which
the House is determined to abolish and
the Senate is determined to continue.
The post Office bill conference, with the
parceIs post. good roads and other pro-
visions. will not be over in a day or
two days.
Compromises in Sight.
Early conferences on the excise bill,
which bears Senate amendments for
permanent tariff commission and the re-
peal of the Canadian reciprocity bill, are
scheduled and an agreement is expected
without much delay. Already compro-
misses are in sight.
As soon as the appropriation bills are
out of the way in the Senate the Pan
anna canal bill will be pressed by Sen
ator Brandegee, who has it in charge
There is movement on foot to put off
until next session the vexed ques-
ton, raised to international importance
through the protest or Great Britain
against the granting OF free tolls to
American vessels. That is the chief
stumbling block to early passage Of the
measure.
1t is urged by those who desire to get
the bill through and who are willing to
put over the toll question that the bill
could leave to the President the question
OF the tolls to be fixed; and shippers
could be given some assurance by a dec
laration that the President could not fix
tolls greater than 81 per ton
