TO ADJOURN OCTOBER 1,It la Said the Cancua of Democratic Rep¬resentative* To-night Will ao Decide.What Brought About the Chaare .(Opinion.A prominent democratic Representative, who

has all along opposed any proposition looking tothe passage of an adjournment resolution by theHouse, said to-day that lie had satisfied himself,after carerul inquiry and an actual count, that thedemocratic caucus to-night would pass a concur¬rent resolution to adjourn Congresss October 1next.

It Is gathered from many sources that the mem¬bers who have heretofore opposed any such actionhave suddenly changed their position as a resultof yesterday's proceedings In the House.
