Struggle in the House.

A,rOIOSltlOnS IN S6ttlG tho NOrlu'0 t0lr
Struggle in the House.
WAsHINGToN, Aug. 1-There has been
no material change i'll the attitude of tie
respective sides i'll the house with regard to
the worlds fair appropriation. Members
.: the house apposcd 10 the Appropriation
haxe been discussing propositions looking
to a compromise of ,he difficulties. These
include one postponiny action on the
appropriation nnul ii xcd day in maxim
loan of $500 0J0, to be regarded as first
Len on the receipts of the fair, and allow
ing the :air management to provide suiiici-
ent bullion :or the col. age OF the amount
OF money needed to comp etc all the work
III c)nncc,ion with the fair. But the
advocates oi the appropriation decline at
this time to look with avoron any oil these
propositions, aud will not to-night
make ANY, pledges concerning their future
action, other than to intimate very strongly
that they will take the appropriation direct
or nothing. They will not listen at this
time 10 q proposition to postpone action
on the appropriation, insisting that the
house has already recorded itself III :avor
OF it. They therefore see 10 reason why
the matter should be delayed.
In the house tomorrow Representative
Holman will call UP his joint re. uiom 10
extend the app onriations carried by the
sundry civil bill or the last ii Gu! year ,,l-
ill August 4. As tomorrow Is suspension
day, the resolution, it is said, can be called
up, Notwithstanding the regular order"
nredictcd, will be ought by the
worlds fair people, who will in
FIST that inasmuch MS the sl,ndry
civil bill oan be enacted intn law almost as
soon as the joint resolution eau be, if the
opponents of the fair appropriation will
abide by the decision OF II majori,y of the
votes cast III iavor of it. there IS no neces-
sity for the joint resolution extending the
appropriation. MIR. Holman says he
would not agree to al amendment To the
resolution extending the appropriation
until December. Such an amendment,
ii carried, will defeat the worlds
fair appropriat on. The assurance will be
worlds fair people that lie had such an
amendment i'll view When lie offered the
resolution and VIII ch was one . the rea-
SONS why Representative Hopkins Perkins
objected to the cJI.sidera,lrn oi the rcso-
luton yesterday. MIR. Holman says Ii cx-
rects TO see matters reach a CTS Tuesday,
although he did not indicate in Just what
form he thought it would appeal.
Representative Holman to-nlgi,t said he
thought the proposition 10 let the question
OF the appropriation Tor the fair 20 over
until December met with the most favor,
ana lie wa Inclined To think 1t would be
accepted by the friends of the fair L.
this should be accepted Mr.. Holman
said the way was pla II Tor the pas
sasc of the appropriation bill and
the adjournment y congress. The amend
mcnt prohibiting any officer ,lie govern
nent or any person or corporation having
contracts witt HE government from en-
ploJins Plnke.tom ol:ce or any o;hcr bo.iy
Of armed m.n, Mir. Holman said, might
cause some trouble. He believed, now
ever. that the senate would reced. from its
disagreement to the alueu,imeut
