Hnnse Of Renresentnslrn,


The first business in order in the House
was the resolution presented by Mr. Holman
dem. Ind. 10 extend the sundry civil ap-
preparations for four days. He said that
the House WAS confronted with q peculiar
situation. The gentleman from Illinois
(Mr Hopkins) had stopped the wheels Of
the government by obiecting TO the con-
sideration Of the resolution on Saturday
last. Never before IN the history of the
Government had such a state of Affairs ex-
isted. He wanted 10 bulldoze the House
and so objected.
Mr.. Reed CRep., Me- followed with a
characteristic speech. he said the blame
for the failure to pass the Sundry Civil bill
rested with the Democratic majority and the
hlibuster against the Worlds Fair. Mr.. Hol-
man was responsible in large degree for
the present condition of things. The ap-
propriatlOn for the Worlds Fair had the
unanimous sanction of the Senate aud also
of 40 members in the House. and there was
nothing urged against il except the miser-
able techpieaity that some think s. ought
not TO be in an appropriation bill. The gen
tleman from Indiana Mr.. Holman had the
boldness TO stand up here and charge nls
sins upon other men. House with l4O
Democratic majority certainly Was Tespon-
sible for legislation and yet Blr Holman had
blamed this matter upon the other side.
MIR. McCrearv Dem, Ky. said that the
fault lay with the Worlds Fair advocates.
They wanted the bill 10 fail # they did not
oct this money. The people OF the country
were TO be robbed for the Worlds Fair.
MIR. Bingham (Rep., Pa. said that the
Democratic majority was aole 10 transact
public business, but they had signally failed
10 do so not only in this instance, but IN
mani others. They must answer 10 the
House. to the people and 10 the country.
There was no purpose on his side OF the
House 10 delay public business. No re-
sponsibility should rest on the Republicans
for this action.
Sir. Cummings Dem. n. y said the
wheels OF the Government were stopped by
the objection Of the Bepubliean member
from Illinois (Mr Hopkins. IL is well that
the employees of the Government (many Oh
whom were in the gaheriesl snonio nnder-
stand that that objection and that alone has
stopped the wheels of the Government, and
the 6rovislons Of the last Sundry Ciyil Oill
have been extended once. Why did not
the gentleman object 10 IT them lie OD-
iects now because he has his ChlcagO
croupier in the public treasury and wants
TO rake 5000 ,001 from H. The object
is TO force this House % allow
this money TO be taken under pressure lap-
plAuse on the Democratic sidel. and he
gentleman from Maine Mr.. Reed IS the
lieutenant OF the gentleman from ILLINOIS,
With the ferocity of hurat we have seen
him kick the bones of a dead colleague fTom
his path for the purpose OF trying 10 Sc
cure-I will not say steal-this appropra,
tion [applause on tho Democratic side: ana
these are the men that have the impudence
10 turn 10 a party which Ia this House has
given thirty-three majority against this 1901
ing of the Treasury and charge u via
blocking the wheels of the Government.
Mr.. Mcmillan Dem. Tenn said the
fault lay entirely with the gentleman IRON
Illinois l(Alr. Hopkins and that be must
take the blame The majority were not re-
suonsible in this matter. The Worlds fair
advocates said either give us this approprls-
tion or we will stop the wheels OF the Gov
ernment-a most outrageous provision
which should not be entertained for one
moment.
The resolution was then passed two
thirds voting ia its favor. The House then
passed. among other measures. undef s1s-

ing the time for dedicating the Worlds r ar
