Congress Is Preparing to Quit and Go Home.
Washington, Oct. 22. Adjournment of congress at 6 o'clock tonight was arranged by administration leaders of both houses today, and a formal resolution to that effect was prepared.
There were some rumblings of a filibuster by southern members who want legislation to relieve the cotton situation, but the Democrat leaders seemed sure of their plan.
When the house met at 10 o'clock it began killing time by reading the journal in full while awaiting the report of the conference on disputed points in the war revenue bill. The senate was ready to follow action of the house. Seemingly the adjournment was assured.
