[ Special Tele- pram to the DM. ] There Isn. grow ing belief that congress nny manage to adjourn before tba close of the present month. Up to this tlmo the general impression has been that the pp.sslnn would not end before the close of the month. Just now , however , the senate has begun to exhibit some Interest In the ques tion of adjoinnment , and as this body Ins the matter practical ! ) In Its own hands , there seems some prospect that It may push busi ness through by the 15th orOtli ot the month. The senate has power to do this If Us membci * so desire. The house has prac tically clcaied Us cilend.ir of appropriation bills , and Uio senate can nisli them thiouqb In tw o weeks tlmo If It wants to. Of conisc , there Is plenty to do In both house and sen- ntoas long as they will stay , but the question Is l.ow little they can do rather than how much. JEI'.IIY MVHPin ' ? TAIII ) LOST. This morning's National Republican , In announcing tlio withdrawal of Iteprcbenta- tlv o Jerry Murphy from the race for the nom ination in the First Iowa district , because "ho found his opponents had gained too much headway for him to ouercome , " ob served that "tlio Hounopln canal has been the solitary card which he hns plavcd In con- mesb and ho thought U would alvvajspiovo n winning one. ' ' TUB \NIIAI.I. . uir.i- The house committee on wajs anil means to-day unanimously agreed to make an ad verse report on the llinda'l ' tailft bill. Toni - ni bt jour correspondent met General Browne , of Indiana , a loading republican member of thu committee , who said that this action settled tbo tiuill question for the jncs- ent , that the Randall bill would probably go on the calondai and bo passed over to the next session. Tlio democracy had , In his opinion , clearly demonstrated Its utter inca pacity to deal with ecoiiomlcqucstlons. With a majority ofovcr foity in the house , It had whom failed to revise the tariff. Mi. Kin- dallaided in the defeat of tno Moirlson measure , and the latter gentleman and his followers have now avenged themselves by stianglingthei lirst-born of Itandall In its cradle. The demociacy don't cohere. They agree upon nothing. On the subject of the cmrency they are worse mixed , U possible , than on tbo tanll. After all their promises , they vv 111 likely leave tbcbo questions where they found them. There was an Important part of the Moirlson bill that should have been passed , and might have been but for the democrats , who , with one exception , Insisted that the bill should go Into the house as a whole or not at all. That part of the bill regulating the mcthods of ad ministering omtori ir.vvs , as apart and sepa rated from the objectionable features of flic bill , would receive an undivided republican support. This sermi.itlon was i of used , and this part ot the bill will die with the rest. General Browne said further that the pilnci- pal objections to the piovislons of the Ran dall bill were , that It pioposed to repeal the tax on tobacco , cigars and bnuff , all taxes Imposed on tniit brandies nnd on splilts used in the aNs. Ho was opposed to tlio icpeal of these taxes while the nation hid topi ovlde tor the pivmentof pen-Jons 01 any othei pbllguirin giowlng out of the icbclllon. and the repub licans generally agiocd with l.lui. . The whibUey and tobacco foxes were ncaily equal to tlio penbioniolland tlie amount of Interest account , and ought not to be removed , and will not bo by republicin votes. He Ind othei objections to the R-indall bill , and pai- tlculnily to that portion which Increases the duty on tin plato and ready made clothing.

They believe that vety many of thorn will bo made lo go just as soon as congress adjoin us andlhuli succcssois are chosen. So they are thinking about decapitation at any time after a couple of weeks. It Is undeistood that v'oiy llbcra ) modifications of the civil berv Ice inlcs are to have the selection of appointees to choose trom laiger lists , etc. A calculation of the chances mailo In the departsments since March 4.1SS5 , shows that not 15 porcentof the employes have been removed.
