While Senator Sherman was still speak

nounced for him.
The bill was then taken up.
HOUSE.
The house went into committee of the
whole, Mr.. Lester, Of Georgia, in the
chair, on the sundry civil appropriation
bill.
The pending question was on the sub.
iect of the Sunday closing of the Worlds
fair.
Mr.. Scott, of Illinois, offered an amend.
ment prohibiting lotteries or games Of
chance in the fair grounds or within a
mile thereof, and the sale of cards, dice,
ETC., within that limit Lost.
The substitute offered by Mr.. Stone re-
quiring the fiingo of an agreement to close
the fair on Sundays and prohibiting the
sale OF Intoxicating liquors on the grounds
was lost, 43 to 1874.
Mr.. Dockery, of Missouri, then offered
Il substitute, the following:
Providing that the government exhibit
at the Worlds Columbian exposition shall
not be open to the public on Sunday.
Adopted.
The question then recurred on the
original amendment as amended by the
substitute and it was adopted.
The chair was utterly unable to COM
mand order, and the buzz Of conversation
and the noise of laughter was so great
that fully one-third of the members pres
sent were ignorant of what was taking
place. The Worlds fair paragraphs were
finally disposed of. The Sunday closing
provision now reads simply: Provided
that the government exhibit at the
Worlds Columbian exposition shall not
be open to the public on Sunday.
The committee proceeded to the con-
sideration of the clause appropriating
$4,000 for the enforcement OF the Chi
nese exclusion act.

Loud, of California, was pending. The
substitute appropriates 100000 to pre-
vent the unlawful entry OF Chinese; for
the registration of Chinese now in the
United States, and for the expenses of
returning to China all Chinese persons
found to be unlawfully in the United
States.
Mr.. Loud's substitute was rejected, and,
on motion of Mr.. Holman, the appropria.
ton carried into the bill was increased to
