for Votes.
WASHINGTON. July 20 Tho Worlds Pair
lobby is again on duty at the old stand after q
few days suspension. brought about by the
general protest OF members OF the House
against their bold and annoying tactics. The
lobbyists have been very busy to-day, and to-
night they are hustling about for votes at q
lively rate. The managers felt that. after all.
their valuable services could not be dispensed
with. Their Efforts are apt to prove fruitless.

the House will refuse to accept the Senate

about the sol 900 lobby they decided to vote

One OF the schemes resorted to BY tho
Worlds Fair boomers was to circulate tho re-
port that Mr.. Croker had instructed all Of the
Tammany members OF Congress to vote for
the amendment. This report has gained wide
circulation. Representative Little. who is a
member Of tho General Committee OF Tam
many. said to reporter OF THE Sun tonight:
You may say for me that know nothing
OF such II request from Mr.. Croker or anybody
else. As member ofthe General Committee
