WASHINGTON, August 2.-The House
is entirely az sea over the Worlds Fair
item in the sundry civil bill and both
sides appear to be determined 10 hold
out to the bitter end.
The ultra anti-Fair appropriation
people say they will iilibuster all fall,
| all winter and TO the 4th OF March next,
rather than have either an appropria.
| tion made or loan given. The econo-
mixers are willing 70 favor loan Of
| S5 900, 600 or gift OF 81, 500, 600. The
Worlds Fair champions say the bill Is
passed aud must go through as IL stands.
They say they will not consent 10
further extension Of the sundry civil
appropriations OF last year. The pres
ent extension expires on August 4.
A new and hitherto unanticipated
complication may possibly arise as re-
suit OF this fight. IL the Senate should
pass an adjournment resolution and the
House should refuse to agree TO II, un-
der section 3, article ?, OF the coustitu-
tion, the President has the power 70 ad-
journ Congress 10 such time as he may
see proper. He can then reconvene
Congress, compel the attendance Of all
absentees, and thus force Congress 20
take the necessary action 10 relieve the
government from the embarrassment
resulting from insufficient appropria-
tiOus. Should this state OF affairs be
brought about now IL would be the hrst
time in the history OF this government
Immediately after reading OF the
a rstfarapaa ~ Angan
Senate bills IN the House, hlibusterlng
began over the Worlds Fair amend
ment,. Mr.. Butler. OF Iowa, moved an
adjournment I'll Thursday, and Mr.
Bailey, OF Teas moyen for an adjourn
ment until Friday.
The House, then by unanimous con-
sent at the suggestion OF Mr.. DOckery,
OF Missouri, took recess for ffteon
minutes, the purpose to give an oppor-
tunity 10 the Democratic members who
were al the caucus last night 20 explain
to their absent colleagues the object OF
their sctlon taken.
When the recess terminated, % the
suggestion Of Mr.. Bankhead, OF ma.
bama, another recess was taken for halt
an hour. The second recess terminated
az noon, when the House was again
called 20 order 90 take a further recess
Of an hour. This recess was taken by
unanimous consent, at tie instance OF
Mr.. McMnlin, Of Tennessee. The con
cluslon OF the third recess found not
more than one hundred members ln
their seats, but IN few moments this
number was augmented. The question
come on motion % ad iourn until Friday.
This was defeated 20 10 -. and Mr..
Kilgore, OF Texas, raised the point OF no
quorum. A call OF the House was or
dered. and lg3 members having respond
ed % their names, further proceedings
under the call were dispensed with On
motion OF Mr.. LADham, OF Texas, tho
following resolution was adopted:
Resolrrd, That tho condition Of the pub
lie business imperauvely demands the In.
madiate presence OF all absent members Of

The House then adjourned.
A conference committee OF ten. ap-
pointed by Mr. Dockery, met after ad-
journment in the room Of the sub-com-
mittee on appropriations, but adjourned
without reaching any agreement The
proposition chiefly discussed proposed
reduction in the Worlds Fair apprO-
prlatlon from $1,000, 900 20 $500, 900.
Several propositions were discusset and
reported. Representative Williams, %
Illinois. came forward with new pro-
position, which was received with coz
| siderable favor by the members Of the
| committee who are not 40 radical on
either side OF the fight.
This provision was that an argument
/ should be reached 70 consider the vote
/ by which Mr. BlnRham's motion OF con-
! currence In the senate amendment was
/ carried. and that the Sundry Civil bill
| should then be sent 20 conference with
| Instructions 10 the House conference %
| disagree 20 the proposition Of tho SEN
I ate and in its stead % substitute q prop
osltion providing for the coinage Of five
million half dollar souvenir coins 70 be
/ given 20 the Fair, This money was 70
| be given as direct appropriation, and
/ the conieres were 40 % frame their res
| olu,ion e. 20 strike out all provisions
making the government a partner in
| the Fair.
This proposition is said 70 have, met
with same favor rom all except Messrs.
Durborrow and Bankhesd aud the lat
ter gentlement were not prepared 70
say iust what they thought Of IL, want
/ Ing time for consideration With Director
General Davis and others.
Several members after adjournment
said that the proceedings had been
harmonious. and they were inclined %
believe that a settlement might oe
reached, which would make adjourn
ment possible by the last OF the week.
