WARRINGTON, July 2s.-The House
took up the Worlds Fair amendments to
the sundry civil appropriation bill, and
Mr.. Carutb of Kentucky made one OF
his characteristic humorous speeches In
favor OF the appropriation. Mr.. Bowers
OF California, said that nine-tenths Of all
the people of California were In favor Of
Congress makinga generous appropria-
tion in aid OF the exposition. Mr.. Houk
OF Ohio quoted from the original law to
enforce bis argument that it was incum-
bent on Congress to make the appropria-
tion for the fair.
Mr.. Hopkins Of Illinois, said that all
the gentlemen who had argued against
the proposition had had pleasant words
for Chicago. They spoke In praise OF the
international exposition, yet every one OF
them attempted to assassinate the ma
tions character of the enterprise and re-
duoe IL to q municipal affair. Congress
ought not now refuse to the appropriate
the money.
Mr.. McMillin, Tennessee, opposed the
appropriation because of the depleted
condition Of the treasury. There was
last year I'll 900, 900. Through the squan-
dering Of the last Congress, ii the
amount the law required to be paid into
the sinking fund was paid, this year
would find the government with . defic-
iency of s4O, 900 900.

amendment, pending which Mr.: Bing-
ham OF Pennsylvania moved that the
