THE WORLDS FAIR GRAB
TILL PRoBABLF PASs 7RE HOUSE.
The Anu-oDtion RnI Again Discussed In
tho senate-Sonator CnrlisIe's Tarin
speooh-Capitol Notes.

NAShINGIoN. -. e., July 21--lSpeoial l.
The final test Of strength in the House on
the Worlds Fair appropriation came to-day
and the result surprised Mr.. Holman and
those who Joined with him in strenuous
efforts 20 defeat the Eve million donation.
IL seems that Mr. Holman entrusted the
canvass of his strength 10 Bankhead and
the latter was overconfdent lie was sat
isGed from his canvass that the opposition
had votes enough 10 defeat the i've million
item. Holman moved to insist upon the
disagreement and demanded tue previous
question. Bingham moved 10 concur ia the
Senate amendment and as that motion took
precedence 1t had 10 DO put first. ON the
square test the Worlds Fair showed ten
majority IA favor of the five million grab.
Mr.. Holman quickly changed his vote IN
order that he might move TO reconsider,
which he did. Then the flibustering be-
gan. Cultivate and Bailey taking the lead
in place of Holman, who could not with
any sort Of consistency hlbustor against bis
own bill.
NOW the question is, Shall the Sundry Ci-
I'll bill pass or fRilg Majorlties of both
Houses have declared in favor of the bill
with the Worlds Fair Appropriation and il
would be unprecedented for them 10 yield
T. the dlotauOns of minority Of the House.
Leading senators declare that that body
will not consent to the striking out
OF the Worlds Fair appropriation, now
that majority of the HOuoe
has voted for 1t. Senator Allison said to-
day that the Senate could and would re-
main here IN session Just as long as might
be necessary % convince the Holmon mi
LOnty that 10 could not win by hlbuster-
ing. At present the indications are that
the session viii be prolonged for some days
at least
THE FILIBUsTKBNG PLAN.
All sorts Of rumors are heard as 20 the
purpose OF the opposition. Mr.. Holman
iuumated this afternoon that be would be
content with emphasizing the determined
opposition 20 the appropriation, but Bailey,
OF Texas declares that he will flibuster
tin snow fies' rather than see the Worlds
AIR item pass. In this he IS supported by
Cultivate. Of Ohio.
General 81. Clair. chairman OF the Legis-
lative Committee Of the Worlds Fair Com
mission says the hlibusteriuR will be broken
up by tomorrow. IL is evident that some
members who are strongly opposed to the
i've million loan are against the tlibuster-
ing scheme That was demonstrated by the
ballots this afternoon.
The Virginia and North Carolina members
all voted against the Worlds Fair item.
Messrs. Oferrall Tucker, lawson and
Lester we're absent, but paired against the
measure
1t is probable that the fighting will con-
tinue for several days and then delay ad-
lournment perhaps until about the middle
Of next week. No adjournment resolution
has yet been adopted, both houses awaiting
the outcome Of the Worlds Fair fight.
Mr.. Holman Is playing a waiting game
He hopes that prolOnging the fight will
weary some OF the supporters Of the Worlds
Fair so that they will leave the city and
leave the House without quorum. That is
W hnf ha ia nIn "a Kaf
managers understand his game and are
pleading earnestly with their friends in
the House to stick II out" This
really Is the dangerous phase for the
Worlds Fair. The members who support
the appropriation have been remaining here
for days. hoping each day that tho next
would end the fight Some of them feel
that their chances Of reelection are being
impefiled. and they may decide 10 sacrifice
the Worlds Fair rather than themselves
Meantime Holman Is trying 10 hold the
opposition ready 20 take advantage should
the ten Worlds Fair majority disappear.
