Senators honored him,with their attention
at any one time. Through the open doors
of the cloak rooms Senators could be seen
lolling about in very unsenatoial COS TUNES,
slipping the truly Senatorial drink Of lem
onsde, among them Senator Quay. stripped
to trousers and neglige shirt.
The Heat Knocks Out Everything.
Well, it looked for moment. late in the
afternoon, as if the heat had given anti
option its quietus, as it had laid anti Rsum
asleep. After the unending George had
ended, old Uncle Eppa Hunton, the new
Senator from Virginia, got in semi
maiden speech, but Hunton is fat and old,
and loves his ease, and the subject
and the heat soon put him down. Then
came motion of Wolcott, who wants very
much to get himself to his far Western
mountains, to refer the bill back to the
Committee on Finance, and that motion
stands to be voted on tomorrow, but unless
other Senators demand time for speech
making. as Senator Allison, who has the bill
in charge, objects to its being referred, 1t
may be that the final vote will come to-
morrow. Senator Wolcott's motion is
almost sure to prevail, as some Senators who
would not dare to oppose the anti-option bill
perfected. That is the way bills are often
killed, and it is way which has saved
many a Senator from being killed politi-
cally.
1t is possible that tomorrow will begin
the great struggle over the Worlds Fair
amendment to the sundry civil bill, and
never was there body in worse shape for
struggle than the House, as was shown this
afternoon, when only little bit of filibus-
tering by the Republicans brought the
body to a standstill on the deficiency bill
and knocked out the Raum report, from
which it was expected the Democrats would
make SO much campaign capital
AQuorum Hard to Collect
There is quorum of Democrats in the
city. There is probably quorum of men,
bers. Democrats and Republicans, who
would refuse to vote for the Worlds Fair
amendment, but it is impossible, apparent
ly, to get them together. Suppose they
that majority favors the amendment, Mr..
Holman and other broad and mighty states
men like him will filibuster the appropria-
tion till doomsday, they say.
Suppose majority be found opposed to
the appropriation, and SO filibustering be
found unnecessary, the bill will 60 to
conference, and the Senate conferees will
be instructed to stand by the appropriation
as long as and longer than the House can
stand against it.
''The Senate is in this Fair business to
stay" said Republican Senator to me this
afternoon. "You see, aside from assisting
the great Fair, to whose success we are all
pledged, there is pretty bit of politics in
it. Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and other
neighboring States are almost as deeply in
terested in the fair as Illinois. They are
all for the appropriation-that is, the peo-
pie are, no matter what the politicians may
do They want the Fair to be as big and as
great as possible. and all the millions who
will pass through their States to see it, to
see also how big and how great those States
are.
The Milk i'm tho Cocoanut.
"We can afford to hang on for a good
while, even in this hot weather, to prevent
the Democratic House from defeating this
appropriation. This is the milk in the
cocoanut"
A lot of Southern and some Northern
Democrats think to make capital for their
party by defeating the appropriation, and
the Republicans of the Senate believe it
good policy, as we'll as good commercial
policy, to make the appropriation. The
Democrats in the House are divided and
mad, disgusted over it. So they filibuster.
The Senate will wait. Do they defeat it?
The Senate will insist on on it. Do they
fail to get quorum? The Senate will sit
till they get one That is the present pro-
gramme. The end of Congress cannot be
seem LIGHTNER
