WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The caucus Of
Democratic members of the house yes.
terday afternoon resulted in harmon
ious adjustment of the differences which
have divided the Democratic majority
on the Worlds fair appropriation, and
II the plan adopted be carried out (and
there appears to be little difficulty in
the way of this congress will adjourn
early next week, with the chances in
favor of Monday as the day. The caucus
was well attended. Three members Of
the Texas delegation-Messrs. Kilgore,
Bailey and Anthony, who have been
bitterly opposed to the Worlds fair ap-
preparation clause in the sundry civil
bill-withdrew from the hall of the
house early in the caucus, refusing to
place themselves in position where
they might be bound by its action. Mr..
Holman presided, and Mr.. Reilly, Of
Pennsylvania, was secretary.
When Mr.. Holman had called the
caucus to order there was some prelim-
mary inquiries by few members to as
certain whether the action of the caucus
would be binding, but they were appar-
emily satisfied with Mr.. Reilly's explain
alton that 1t was not intended that the
action should be binding on individual
members, but that it was hoped har-
monious agreement would make the
caucus action satisfactory to all mem
bers on the Democratic side.
A Chorus of ayes"
This over Mr.. Reilly, as chairman of
the committee on adjustment OF the dif-
aculty, presented the report of the COM
mittee and entered into an explanation
OF its details. Mr.. Reilly told the eau
Gus that tho committee had laboredlong
and earnestly to reach q satisfactory
agreement, and that it could reach no
better understanding than that shown
by the report. He explained the neces-
sity for its adoption, holding that the
deadlock would be continued indefi-
nitely If it were not agreed to. He out
lined the mode of procedure planned,
and begged the caucus to sanction the
agreement in the interest of peace.
When Mr.. Reilly concluded his ex-
PLANTATION there were loud cries of "Vote,
voteP There was no attempt to op-
pose the report, and when Chairman
holman, yielding to the cries for the
question, put the motion that the re-
port be adopted there was a great
chorus of ayes" while not member
voted in the negative. Mr.. Holman an
nounced unanimous concurrence in the
report and the caucus adjourned, after
session Of less than an hour.
The preliminary movement in the di-
rection Of carrying the sundry civil bill
and the Durborrow bill through the
house will be begun today. A motion
will be made ut will in all probability
be carried) for the reconsideration of the
vote by which the house receded fron
ats disagreement from the senate amend
ment appropriating So, ,oO0, 600 This is
Che motion contained in the resolution
Submitted by Mr.. Bingham, Of Penn
sylvania, and its adoption will free the
sundry OWL bill from the worlds fair
feature and pave the way for a motion
TO send it back to conference. Then the
purborrow bill appropriating $5 900, 900
for the fair, and now on the calendar,
VIII be taken up and amended by re-
fncing the amount to $2,500,000 and the
bill 80 changed as to make the latter
sum an absolute gift to the exposition.

rect vote, but Notwithstanding the as
sertion of btr. Kilgore and some others
shat they will fight the gift of any sum
IL they keep congress in session contin-
nouBly until March next, the day the
N1fty-second congress expires, it is al
most certain that the action of yester-
days caucus will be carried out to the
letter. A strong feature in the report
Of the committee is the section proyid-
ing that whether the Durborrow bill be
carried OF defeated the vote on it shall
be regarded as a settlement OF the whole
question. This means that congress can
adjourn Immediately after the pro-
Ernmme agreed upon is carried. no mat
BAR whether the Worlds fair is provided
&or or not.
In Senate and House.
The senate in the course of IN hour
and halfs session yesterday cleared
OF the only three unopposed house bills
Femaining on its calendar, and then
waited for some sign of agreement from
the house on the sundry civil bill. A
potion by Mr.. Pettigrsw, of South
pskota, calling on the secretary OF war
for report of all officers court mar
sihled during the past ten years drew
ont rather animated discussion and
was shelved, as was also proposition
BY Mr.. Call, Of Florida, to send special
Soint committee to investigate Cuba
and other West India islands. With
ont doing anything further of interest
the senate adjourned.
The house was in session but two
hours. and nothing WAS accomplished.
D Several votes were taken on dilutory
motions, but no quorum appeared at
! any time, The proposition submitted
by the Worlds fair advisory committee
TO reconsider the vote on the sundry
4 civil bill and place it in conference, and
kayote for 81. 500 900 as direct gift to the
air in q separate bill, will probably be
acceptable to all parties, and an ad-
tournment is looked for by Monday.
