Washington, Aug.

25. A few score weary member of Congress and an impatient president of the United States today confronted an unprece dented governmental situation follow log last night's prolonged and fruitless struggle to adjourn the session of Con gress. The outlook, ror tomorrow sessions of the house and Senate promise an even more chaotic legislative condition than obtained in the fight which began Saturday morning and continued until nearly church time today. Disgusted with the adjournment failure, many members of the Senate took early tram today ror their Homos. Senator Penrose predicted that there would be much less than a quorum in the Senate when it meets at noon to morrow and house leaders were satis fled that that body would be nearly 40 member short of the number nec esaary to transact business.

Filibuster to Be Benewed. The double filibuster, which compel! ed the abandonment of the plan to end the session of Congress, is expect ed to be renewed when the house re convenes. Senator LaFollette made known to friends today that he would insist upon a record vote on the adop tion of the Penrose resolution for an investigation of campaign contribu tiona of the Standard Oil Company in 1904 and of the correspondence be tween John D. Archbold, George Perkins and members of Congress. Senator Chamberlain, who ted the ether Senate filibuster, the object of which was to force the house to agree to the payment of 600,000 of old state claims, win have the support of many Senate Democrats if he renews his m-inaistance to hold Congress nntil these claims are paid.

The house leaders are daUrminad to fight tha. claims "until December," if necessary. Either of the Senate filibusters holds trouble for any plan "rf' adjournment.

O. P. Campaign in Arkansas Has Now. Reached the "Follow Up Letter" Stage. The political campaign in Arkansas has now reached the iage wliere tbe Kepubliran boss has begun to crack the whip of patronage over bis free and un-trameled postmasters who are, as is well known, under the beneficent protection of the civil sen-ice rules.

That is to say, the Republican has reached the "follow-up" stage. Some time ago the Gazette published a copy of the first series of letters sent out by Gordon II. Campbell, treasurer of the Kepubliran Central Committee. It politely informed the postmasters of the sum which the boss in his wisdom had decided they should cheerfully and patriotically, of court. -intrihi to the (rood th O' P.

Unfortunately for Mr. Campbell that usually clever 'workmaa aont ope vt those tetters to a Democrat in Chicot coanty, who formerly had been postmaster in a small town in that county, but who had reitlgned. He not oulv declined to contribute the five dollars which the, boss had decided was about his share but wroie Mr. Campbell a letter in which he gloated over the treasurer's confession of the dire straits in which the erstwhile Grand Old Party finds itself. For a eopy of Mr.

Campbell's "follow-up letter," the Gazette is indebted to C. A. Berry, editor and proprietor of the Huttig News, of Hnttig, Union county. Mr. Berry' acted as postmaster for six months last year at toe request of the bondsmen of the preceding postmaster who had been removed.

"In that way, I suppose it wan taken for granted that I was a Republican," writes Mr. Berry, "but I am happy to say that 1 am not and never nave been. Although at the time my friends circu lated a petition, signed by nearly every white patron of the Hdttig postoffice, asking that I be appointed postmaster, Boss Rommel took particular pains to see that I was not appointed, although President Taft had promised Congressman Goodwin to appoint me after Mr. Goodwin had told him that I was a Democrat. The "Follow-TJp Letter." Mr.

Berry saya that in Mr. Camp bell's first letter, he named $25 as the sum which it had been decided that Mr. Berrv should cheerful I and patriotiral ly contribute. Mr. Berrv this, and as a result the "follow up letter" appeared.

It Teads as follows: Dear Sir: Some time ago we wrote you for a small contribution to the' Republican campaign fund, and named an amount in our letter that we thought entirely reasonable for you to give. Up to the present time we have not received your remittance. No doubt you are overlooking the fact that we must have the money immediately in order for it to be effective, and this is a reminder to you of that fact. The amount called for is in addition to any contribution that you may be making to. your county campaign fund.

If every Republican who contributes should deduct from his contribution an amount for local uses, in cities such as Little' Rock' arid Fort Smith there would be little or nothing given for the state campaign, but Republicans in these cities make no such reductions. Many Republicans have come forward promptly, bnt others have not, and money, Js. imperatively needed for legitimate expenses. I hope I shall not being disappointed in my expeeta-tiontion of a remittance from you by return man. Mr.

OROZCO ESCAPES FEDERALS' TRAP Mexican Rebel Leader's Junction With Salazar Indicates He Has Passed Through Cordon. El Paso, Aug. 2.1.

By this time the firemen had arrived and began to awaken the other boarders.

West, in an unconscious condition, was brought to safety, both women were taken to a neighboring residence, restoratives were administered to Mrs. West land she was revived in a short time.
