g,ess, - !ess ;b,re Shall b. cead
!vck be- .een The House end senate
on the Worlds rair appropriation,
ana that Is not regarded 10y those
VITO ought to be be-. lafo med IS
probable. A m.uaer o. the Hou-e
Appropriation I'LL saj1 TIL morning
that be did not think the attempt OF
tue republicans u make pobtlcisi
capital oct OF dem ocratic opposition
to the appropriation would influence
any votes when the question comes
up again on the report Of the copfer>
euce committee TO the Ho2se, hnt
that those democrats who had voted
against it un Constitutional grounds

not 1ihuuster in any Way To present
tie House recedlg irom It's previous
D i-ition. ii those favorIag the ap-
pIourIatlon can ma ter q III q Jointly,

AS eoor as the Worlds Fair ap-
preparation is disposed of, the House
Will he ready TO adjourn, and unless
the anti-option bill, now before the
Ser ate. ehall prove stumbling
block. the Senate will raise no oo-

option bill in the Senate say that
they are in a majority and that they
intend to pass the bill before ad-
iourning, but the opposition is very
determined minority and they cay
they will talk all SUNNI er, if neces
sary To prevent vote being taken
on the bill. There Is a good deal OF
"bluf' in both statements, and II
the Worlds FAIR appropriation be
disposed of the very Warm weather
will do the rest, adjournment may
be looked for st once.
