DIFFERENCES sMoorHgD OVER

Both sides Seem Satisfied with the Plan
to Give Sc, 500, 600 to the Fair--A Vote
on the Durborrow Bill to be Taken
Saturday.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-The differences
which have divided the Democratic ma
jority on the Worlds Fair appropriation
seem to have been harmoniously adjusted
and if the plan adopted at the cauc us
yesterday, after the conference committee
reported, be carried out-and there ap-
pears to be little difficulty in the way of
this-Congress will adjourn early next
week, with the chances in favor of Mon
day as the day
The preliminary movement in the di-
rection of carrying the Sundry Civil bill
and the Durborow bill through the
House will probably be begun during the
day A motion will be made for the re-
consideration Of the vote by which the
House receded from its disagreement
from the Senate amendment appropri-
ating $4,000 0OO This is the motion con
tained in the resolution submitted by Mr..
Bingham, of Pennsylvania, and its adop-
tion will free the Sundry Civil bill from
The Worlds Fair feature and pave the
way for a motion to send it back to con-
ference.
Then the Durborrow bill appropriating
So, 90 o., 600 for the fair, now on the calen-
dar, will be taken up and amended by re
ducing the amount to 50, 500, 900 as de-
cided upon in the caucus yesterday the
subscription feature eliminated and the
bill so changed as to make the latter sum
an absolute gift to the Exposition.
Saturday afternoon at o'clock vote
will be taken on the DurborrOw bill. Some
attempt at flibustering may be made to
prevent the bill coming to a direct vote.
| but notwithstanding the assertion of Mr..
! Kilgore of Texas and. some others that
they will fight the gift of any sum if they
keep Congress in session continuously un-
til March 4 next, the day the Send Con-
gress expires, it is almost certain that
the action of the caucus will be carried
out to the letter.
A strong feature in the report of the
| conference committee is the section pro-
viding that w1ether the Durborrow bill
be carried or defeated the vote on it shall
be regarded as "a settlement Of the whole
question. This means that Congress can
adjourn Immediately after the programme
agreed upon is carried, no matter
whether the Worlds Fair is provided for
or not.
When the House opened Mr.. Kilgore
objected to the approval of the journal
in the absence of a quorum and the roll
was called, showing 1S0 members present.
The journal was then approved.
Mr.. Holman Dem, Ind moved to ad-
| journ, but, being appealed to by several
members, withdrew his motion.
Several kilograms from absent members
were read at the desk, and the following
were excused for illness; Messrs Layton,
o.; Hopkins, Pa; Coggswell, Miss; and
Morse, Mass.
The regular order was demanded and
the speaker stated the pending motion
was that of Mr.. Bingham rep, Penna
to lay Mr.. Holman's motion to reconsider
the vote by which the Senate amendment
to the Worlds Fair clause was concurreC
in, on the table.
Mr.. Bailey Dem, Tex.,) moved re
cess until O'clock Lost.
Filibustering was then resumed and
seeing that it was impossible to make
any progress, and after several roll
calls, at 1850 the House adjourned for the
day
The Senate in the course of an hour anC
q me- session cleared tne only unree un
opposed bills remaining on its calendar
and then waited for some sign of agree
ment from the House on the Sundry Civi
bill. A motion by Mr.. Pettigrew Of Soutl
Dakota calling on the Secretary of Wa
for report of all officers court -martialeC
during the past ten years drew out
rather animated discussion and was shelly
ed, as was also proposition by Mr. Cal
of Florida to send a special joint commit
tee to investigate Cuba and other Yves
