Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN, July 27.-It is conceded on
ali sides to- nj ght that Holman's opposition
TO the worlds fair appropriation has given
that proposition renewed strength. as
shown by the majority 1t developed In the
House to-day. Nearly every member of the
House is so disgusted with Helman's gen.
eral policies and palpablo cheap demagogy
that they are led by intuition TO take the op-
posite side of whatever be advocates or op-
poses. Had il not been for his fight
against the worlds fair appropriation it
would have been easily defeated to-day.
There is not an Indiana Democrat in WASH
in gton tonight but that openly condemns
Holman and his methods. whatever they
may think of tho issue now before the
House. His insinoerity was never so DIS
gustingly displayed as in this House, and
no member was ever so rebuked as he has
been to-day.
The House adjourned with a fihbus-
tering movement in full swing. and no
light ahead TO show how long il will con-
tlnue or how IL will end. Mr.. Cultivate,
of Ohio. was the leader of the filibusterers
on the floor. The most outspoken of them
say plainly that they will see the sundIy
civil bill killed before the appropriation
for the worlds fair shall carry. Some of
the Republican members are charging that
it Is part of the policy of the majority to
permit the sundry civil bill TO fail unless
the Senate backs down on the worlds fair
appropriation for the reason that il will
enable q better prina fac1e contrast to be-
made between the appropriations OF the
first session of the Fifty-first and those Of
the first session of the Fifty-second Con-
gress.
A resolution extending tho current SUM-
dry civil appropriations for indispensable
purposes until december would very con-
siderably reduce the aggregate. vote
this afternoon, when only two of the bli-
bustcrers voted, showed only twenty-five
short Of quorum, this vote. OF course, in-
cluding members against the fair appro-
priation. but an willing TO filibuster against
it. Most members of the House are as
much Interested In adjournment as In the
fair appropriation, and tomorrow an ad-
journment resolution may be brought IN.
If passed, it Will be for the Senate to say
whether or not Ii VIII stay here as 1ong as
the hhbusterers are willing TO stay and to
make the question OF the far appropria-
ton q matter OF simple endurance Repre-
sentative McNillln had intended. before
the filibustrring began, TO call up the reso-
luton adopted BIZ the ways and means
committee providing for the final adjourn
ment of Congress, He announced this aft
ernOon. after adjournment of the House,
that he would cali 1t up tomorrow morn
ing, and endeavor TO test the temper of the
House In the question that Is uppermost in
the minds of the members of both branches
OF Congress.
THE WORLDS FAIR FIGHT.
The fight over the worlds fair amend.
ment to the sundry civil appropriation bill
was expected and the contestants were
ready for the fray. Neither side was conf
dent, although the friends of the measure,
thought that the chances were IN their
favor. Mr.. Caruth. of kentucky, made one
of his characteristic humorous speeches in
favor of the appropriation. Mr.. Bowers. of
Cslifornis. said that nine tenths of all the
people OF California were in favor of the
worlds fair, and in favor of Congress
making generous appropriation in
aid of the exposition. Mr.. Houk, of
Ohio, quoted from she original law TO en-
force his argument that it was incumbent
on Congress TO make the appropriation
for the fair. Mr.. Hopkins. of Illinois, said
that all the gentlemen who had argued
against the proposition once. had pleasant
words for Chicago. They spoke In praise
one of them now were attempting 70 assas-
sinn.e the national character of the enter
prise and reduce 10 10 q municipal affair.
Congress ought not now TO refuse TO ap-
proprIate the money. MIR. McMillin. of
Tennessee, spoke In opposition TO the ap-
preparation. bssing hts opposition on the
depleted condition of the treasury. The
debate then closed. The Speaker stated
that the Senate amendments would be read
in order and he would recognize the gentle
man from Indiana (Mr. Hollnanl TO make
any motion he desired relative to them.
The minor Senate amendments were dis
posed of without friction. On motion OF
Mr. Holman the House insisted on ITS dis
agreement to all of them.
Then came the amendment appropriating
$1,000, 600, and with 1t came the fight. There
was an amendment pending TO 10, offered
by Mr.. Bankhead, of Alabama. striking. out
the word million" thus leaving the ap-
propriation of IS. This was lost by the de-
cIslve vote of n to 14l, and the friends or
the appropriation were lubilant-not that
it was test vote, but because il showed .

that the House insist on its Disagreement

and on this motion the yeas and nays were
ordered. Then there Was very brief ont
cropping of filIbustering tendency. Mr..
Holman moved to reconsider the vote by
which the yeas and nays were or
dered. Teilers were ordered on his
motion. but before the vote was
completed he withdrew the motion. The
vote was then taken on Mr.. Bingham's mo-
