WASHINGTON. July 2S.-The friends OF the
Worlds Fair appropriation are confident to-
night that the fight in tho House is practically
over. and they predict that the opposition will
be ready to discontinue their fllibustering
tactics by Saturday. The leaders OF the flli-
busters do not show any signs OF weak en- ing.
however. for after the House adjourned

who arc opposed to the measure. and they in

exhausted every means at their command.
In spite OF the declarations OF the nlibuster-
ers, there Is a perccptible dwinding away Of
members. Moreover. there is growing i'm
preston that the Fair boomers will eventually
. win. Many OF the members who voted against
the amendment yesterday refuse to as

that they cannot justify nlibustering

A proposition was made to-day for the Gov

will tax advantage Of he situation To run OF

are now absent from the city without tho
slightest intention Of returning Ia Wa shing-
ton again this session. Under the circum-
stances the Senators contend that they have
the best of the situation. and they can afford
to sit tack and await the action OF the House.
