THE HOUSE DEADLOCK
Impossible to Predict When 1t
Will Be Broken.
PROPOSALS TO COMPROMISE MADE,

the order of the Day--Judge Holman's
Proposition Not Considered Feasible.
WASHINGTON, July 80. 1t is impossible
to predict how long the deadlock in the
House will last. The opponents of the
Fair appropriation have made overtures of
a compromise. One proposition is that if
loan will be accepted it will be voted
speedily and the House can then adjourn;
another is to the effect that if the advo,
Gates of the appropriation will yield, di-
rect vote on it can he assured on the sec
ond Tuesday in December.
Those in favor of the appropriation ma
turally refuse any offers of compromise
and believe they have the battle won. 1t
now appears to be simply a question of
physical endurance.
The proceedings in the House yesterday
were intensely stupid and filibustering
motions on the Worlds Fair appropria-
tion prevailed all day. The only motion
now in order, until the deadlock is broken,
is for adjournment and a call of the
House.
The proposition credited to Judge Hol-
man, if the deadlock on the Worlds Fair
appropriation continues, to bring in
resolution extending for another year the
appropriations made in the Sundry Civil
bill for 1912, will not avoid the Difficult
ty. So many new measures have been ar
ranged for since that bill was passed that
a continuation Of it's terms would be
scarcely less than disastrous than failure
to pass the pending bill. Even if the Sen
ate were disposed to accept that solution
OF the difficulty and agree to adjourn, it is
said the President would feel compelled to
issue a proclamation reconvening Con-
gress to provide for carrying on the bust
ness that such a step would put stop TO.
When the House was called to order
Mr.. Wheeler Dem. Ala.) rose to ques-
ton of personal privilege, stating that the
gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Watson) had
attacked him (Mr Wheeler) Wednesday.
The Speaker ruled him out of order, and
was sustained by an appeal to the House
Mr.. McMillin called up the resolution
from the committee on Ways and Means
for final adjournment on July 4th and
submitted an amendment substituting
July Both for the adjournment.
Mr. Hatch Dem. Mo- said he would op-
| pose fixing any day for final adjournment
until the Senate had fully considered the
anti-option bill
Mr.. McMillin said there was no desire
on the part of the committee to delay
the consideration of the anti-option
or any other bill. He thought Congress
should get away as soon as possible, and
he hoped the members would vote for the
resolution.
Mr. Outhwaite, Dem, of Ohio said
that there was an appropriation bill pend
ing, containing an obnoxious amendment
appropriating S5,000,000 for the Worlds
Fair 1t had been said that the Sundry
Civil bill would be defeated if the appro-
priation was not made. He had no sym
pathy with that sort of talk, but as it
was manifestly impossible to get through
by Saturday, he hoped the resolution
would be amended and August inserted
as the date.
Mr. Enloe, of Tennessee, thought Con-
gress should not adjourn without first dis
posing of the resolution respecting the
dismissal of Commissioner Raum.
Mr.. Cummings, of New York, moved to
make the date Monday, August l.
Mr.. Mcmillan then demanded the pre-
vious question. Ordered. Ayes, 1853;
Nays, 10. The vote on the motion Of Mr..
Cummings resulted ayes, 80; nays, no.
Mr.. Cultivate, pursuing his filibuster-
ing tactics of Wednesday, demanded the
yeas and nays. Refused.
Mr.. Wheeler moved to take recess
until 2 o'clock. Lost Ayes, 3;
nays, 178.
Mr.. Wheeler then demanded tellers, but
voted alone. The entire House remained
in their seats. Mr. Wheeler then called
for the yeas and nays. Lost
| He then moved short recess until 1 As
! but being appealed TO by Mr.. Mcmillan to
cease his filibustering he consented, and
vote was then taken on the resolution for
adjournment Saturday, which resulted
| 121 to 81. Mr.. Hatch Dem. Mo- de
manded the yeas and nays Refused, and
| the resolution was agreed to.
The regular order of business was then
taken up, being Mr.. Bingham's motion to
| lay on the table the motion Of Mr.. Hol-
man to reconsider the vote Of Wednesday by
which the House decided to reeede from
its disagreement to the Senate amendment
on the Worlds Fair
Mr. Bingham moved to lay Mr.. Hol-
mans motion on the table.
Mr.. Cultivate moved to adjourn, and
pending this to adjourn until Friday.
Mr.. Cummings moved to substitute
Monday. The yeas and nays were de-
manded on the latter motion.
The vote resulted yeas 1, nays 1854. No
quorum
Mr.. Brown Dem. Ind.) moved call of
the House. Refused.
Mr.. Bushnell Dem. Wis.) moved to ad-
journ. Lost 90 TO A.
Mr.. Williams Dem. Ills.) moved the
call ofth House. This vote resulted 81
to 20.
Mr. Outhwaite Dem. Ohio demanded
tellers. Not ordered
The call of the House then proceeded,
20S members answering to their names.
Further proceedings under the call were
dispensed with.
Mr.. Stump Dem. Md submitted the
majority report of the special committee
on immigration, and Mr.. White reported
the views of the minority
The roll was then called again on the
motion TO adjourn until Monday.
This vote resulted to l3l. No quorum.
Mr.. Martin Dem, Ind.) moved call of
the House and the Reading Clerk again
went through the alphabet with the
thermometer at 100 degrees
The House then adjourned until to-day.
