PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.
FILIBUSTERING MOVEMENT IN
FULL SWING.
Delaying Action on the Sundry Civil
Bill TO XIII the Worlds Fair
Appropriation.
Special to the RECORD UNION.

| Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
WASHINGTON, July 81 The House
adjourned with the filibustering move
ment in full swing and no light ahead.
The most outspoken of the filibusterers
say plainly that they will see the sundry
civil bill killed before the appropriation
for the Worlds Fair shall carry. Some
Republican members are charging that it
is a part of the policy of the majority to
permit the sundry civil bill to fail unless
the Senate backs down on the Worlds
Fair appropriation, for the reason that it
will enable better prima facie contrast
to be made between the APPROXIMATIONS of
| the first session of the Fifty-firs and
Fifty second Congresses, Most of the
members OF the House are as much inter
ested in adjournment as in the lair APP
preparation, and tomorrow an adj
journment resolution may be brought in.
If passed it will be for the Senate to say
whether or not it will stay here as long
| as the filibusterers are willing to stay,
and make the question of the fair appro-
priation a matter Of endurance.
The House to-day resumed considera-
ton Of the sundry civil bill. The first
action was to vote on the motion made by
Bankhead yesterday to reduce the APP
preparation for the Worlds Fair from

ton. The vote was then announced-ll7

ham moved to lay that motion on the

waite, pending the vote on Blngham'S
motion. moved TO adjourn till Friday,
and Bailey of Texas to adjourn till Sat
urday.
Seyenty-seven of the opponents of the
Worlds Fair proposition refrained from
voting, and Bailey's motion was lost
yeas 81, nays l45.
The point of no quorum was raised,
and Bingham of Pennsylvania moved a
call of the House, which was ordered
after some more flibustering. Two
hundred and twenty eight members re-
sponded.

all leaves of absence except on account Of
