 Washington. August 25.-Congress was still in session with the hour oi adjournment uncertain at 2:4o o'clock this morning.
 The Penrose resolution. consideration of which started the LaFollette fili- buster early last night, was tempor- arily displaced while senators debated the amendments to the general de- ficiency bill.
 The House had passed a resolution fixing the time of adjournment at a. m. This was referred by. the Sen ate to the appropriations committee And amendment extending the houi was contemplated.
 Senator LaFo1lette patiently waited the end of the debate to proceed with consideration of the Penrose resolu- ton which he had declared he would force vote upon before he allowed Congress to adjourn.
 The adjournment resolution already adopted by the House. fixing the hour at a. m, was reported to the Sem ate by it's appropriations committee at 2.50 o'clock and was ordered to lie on the table indefinitely. Senator Penrose remarked he thought it ought to be amended to make the adjournment hour a. III.
 LaFoIlette Blocks Adjournment
 At 1920 Congress was still in ses- sion because of Senator LaFollette's g insistence that a vote must be taken on the Penrose campaign fund reso- 1ution It required a quorum to ad- 1ourn in the face of an objection and this could not be secured. The situ- alton was most unusual
 On the floor of the Senate early in the morning members grouped about the desks in conferences to find a way out ofs the tangle Senator I-aFollette placidly looked up precedents to back up his point against an adjournment sine die without a quorum The ser geant at arms, securing the corridors of the capitol for members, found few. shortly after midnight the House con ferees reported their disagreement in the Senate amendments on the defi- ciency bill for payment of state claims aggregating $606, 23s and that all oth- CT amendments had been agreed to-. The claims still unagreed upon were: Virginia and Maryland. $192,000; Texas. $2l7.693 oregon, $192,542.
 The long wait in the Senate cham Der thinned out the galleries but 1t was. noticeable that most of those who remained were fashionably gowned women.
 At 1924 this morning the Senate went into executive session to consider sew eral presidential appointments with the express understanding that its action filibuster.
 The House at 1:27 adopted a reso- 1ution to adjourn sine die at 3 a. m.

New York, August 24-=(Special.)-In an open letter which the World will publish tomorrow. Oscar w. Underwood, leader of the House, tells what the democrats in Congress have done and tried to get done since power over the lower branch came into their hands MT Underwood says:
 ''The House has passed tariff bills at this session which would save the people of this country approximately s650,ooo,ooO annually If they had become laws.
 "The farmers free list bill which passed the House, 1t is estimated. would have saved the people of this country s39o,o0o, 900 annually. The first articles placed on the free list by this bill were agri- cultural implements. Our domestic pro duction of agricultural implements amounts to over $l1l, 900 annually; oul imports are less than sl6o,OoO, and our ex- ports during the last fiscal year were nearly s36000,000.

TAFT SIGNS PANAMA. CANAL BILL AS WELL. AS SEVERAL OTHERS President Suggests Adoption of Resolution in Reply
 to England BRITISH PROTEST
 IS INCONSISTENT Postoffice Appropriation Bill Signed and Moon Appoints House Con-
 mittees Provided for in the Measure

Washington, August 24.-President Taft signed the Panama canal bill at 7:lo o clock tonight Following this he sent to Congress a memorandum suggesting the advisability of the passage of a resolution which would declare that this measure was not considered by this government violationr of the treaty provisions re- garding the canal. In discussing the British protest MT. Taft says the irresistible conclusion to be drawn from 1t is that, Although the United States owns. controls and has paid for the canal, 1t is restricted by treaty from aiding its own commerce in the way that all the other nations of the world may freely do'
 Tn view of the fact Mir Taft con-
 tinues. that the Panama canal Is being constructed by the United States wholly at it's own cost upon territory ceded to it by the republic of Panama for tl.at pur-
 pose and that unless it has restricted
 itself, the United States enjoy absolute right of ownership and control, including
 the right to allow it's own commerce the
 use of the canal upon such terms as it
 sees fit, the sole question is:
 Has the United States by the terms of
 the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, deprived it.
 self of the exercise of the right to pass
 it's own commerce free, or to remit tolls
 collected for the use of the canal?"
