 WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Congress will adjourn tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. After nine months devoted to legislation both houses held protracted sessions tonight to end their affairs by approving the conference agree ment on the emergency revenue bill to raise approximately S200, 900 900, de- sired by the administration to meet the extraordinary appropriations for na- tionai defense and the Mexican emer- eency.
 Only the physical impossibility of expressing the revenue measure in time for the presidents approval be. fore tomorrow morning prevented final adjournment tonight, despite the waning protests of members of both houses who threatened, but did not ex- ecute the threats, to prolong the ses- sion by demands for action on meas ures which were forced over until De- cember.
 Leaders of the senate and house agreed upon quiet resolution to ad- journ at ten o'clock in the morning and scores of members left town on mid night trains, eager to reach their homes for participation in the national poli tical campaign.
 The final vote on the revenue bill was delayed in the senate by vigorous protests from Pacific coast senators against the elimination of the Alaskan fisheries amendment. 1t was after midnight when a vo,e and adjourn ment until tomorrow at last appeared to be in sight.
 The last appropriation measure, the general deficiency bill, was adopted by both houses while waiting for the con- ference report on the revenue bill and iCh txr tp faf chase of the Danish West Indies for $25, 100000 was ratified. The corrupt practices bill to limit campaign ex- penditures and the immigration bills, which President Wilson had am nounced he would veto if passed, were put aside and will be taken up in De- cember.
 The revenue bill as it will go to President Wilson for approval tomor- row contains drastic provisions em- towering the president to retaliate against foreign interference with American commerce, creates non- partisan tariff commission, increases the duties on dyestuffs to encourage their manufacture in the United States. provides means to prevent dumping of cheap foreign made goods into Ameri- can markets after the war and pro- vides for income, Inheritance, muni- tions, corporation stock, liquor, and miscellaneous internal revenue taxes.
 During consideration of the report in the senate, Senator Chamberlain of oregon protested vigorously against elimination by the conference com mittee of retaliatory provision against Canadian control of Pacific coast fisheries and Representative Gardner of Massachusetts, enlisted the house with bitter denunciation of the retaliatory provision against foreign interference with American commerce
 Mir Gardner charged congress with hypocrisy and his criticisms of the ad ministration aroused the ire of some of the democrats, two of whom-Rep- resentative Decker of Missouri and Cullop of Indiana-made speeches in reply. Representative Bonnet of New York, republican, said he disagreed with both Representatives Gardner and Decker, but that the questions of national honor rose above par tisanship.
 Representative Decker. amid rounds of applause, thanked God that there was in the White House president who was willing to resort to negotia- tions before resorting to the sword. He suggested that the views of Mir. Gard ner and of MT. Roosevelt were pro- ally.
 You claim to be devoted to human ity and to despise commercialism," sait MT. Gardner. Why don't you pass ar amendment refusing American har- bors to Germany's interned ships un- til she 'repudiates the Lusitania crime, These retaliatory amendments would be looked upon all over the world as blow in support of Germany's ugl, cause. What has congress done? You
