E sUNDRY CIVIL BILL MAY FAIL

Though Holman Says the House VIII
81 djourn Friday, 1t Is Claimed That
8here Are Enough Votes to Keep IL in
kession Till the Appropriation Is Lost
AsHINGToN, July 26-Mr. Allison,
airman Of the senate committee on APP
3priations, lifted the veil from the CON
snce proceedings Of the two houses on
a sundry civil bill. BE stated that con
sions made by the senate conferees,
bunting to between "a, ,O00,0 600 and S5,O00,-
We're apparent rather than real Six
hdred thousand dollars of one item, he
!, was included in the pending general
iciency bill by some process not visible
& the naked eye, and most Of the other
|ns, he asserted, had been "halvedn on
distinct understanding that the balance
tuld have to be appropriated in a def
3 ncy bill during the next short session of
lgress
ir. George, of Mississippi, occupied
slrly all the rest of the session by speech
the antioption bill, and the senate adj
lrned with the understanding that on re-
8embling it would listen to a tariff speech
! IN Mr.. Aldrich, Of Rhode Island. Mr.
+ st, of Missouri, may possibly attempt to
up at the same time a resolution offer
4 reciprocity reduction Of 25 per cent.
woods, silk, glassware, etc, to European
4tions IN return for the RECOMMENDATION of
s syer
The House FiIibusters.
flhe house devoted two hours to debating
+ report from the committee TO investi-
4 te the pension Office recommending the
missal of Commissioner Raum, two
'eeches being made in favor OF the resolu-
.n by Mr.. Enloe, Of Tennessee, and Mr..
title, Of New York. Mr.. Lind, Of Mime
ita, made the only speech in his defense.
be discussion was cut off abruptly by the
Isagreeing conference report on the de-
|iency bill and a new conference was or
bred.
4 Mr.. Holman, however, introduced a reso-
ltion OF Instructions to the conferees that
4 ey should recede from the house amend
lent agreed to on Friday last, after four
"a and nay votes, to pay the balance Of
Harry for the full term to the legal heirs of
ceased members
Mr.. Hayes, of Iowa, whose amendment
this affect was adopted, said this pro.
Ieding on Mr.. Holman's part was irregular
Id improper after the house had passed
pom the matter Filibustering ensued and
fe house was kept in deadlock for over
10 hours, when it adjourned
The Fair Appropriation.
IThere is no change in the parliamentary
lndition Of the Worlds fair appropriation
Iid the possibilities of the adjournment Of
lngress. If a vote in the house discloses a
|ajority against the fair the senate will at
|ast propose q compromise. If, on the
+ her hand, the opponents Of the fair pre-
Ibnt awote on the direct question, it can be
|ated that the senate will stay here nll
|lmmer rather than yield to Holman's die
ftion
More than this, if by tilibustering the sun
|ry civil bill goes under, the friends of the
|ir viii refrain from voting and compel
heir opponents to furnish a quorum TO pass
'he necessary resolution extending the pro
|isions Of the last civil bin.
Mr.. Holman said that congress would ad.
burn Friday, and that the sundry civil bill
hcluding the fair appropriation, would be
'isposed Of this afternoon. On the other
and, Mr.. Pierce, Of Tennessee, said there
re seventy-six members pledged to defeat
lr delay action on the bill unless the Worlds
lair item is eliminated, and to stay here
Nntil it is done. So it viii be seen that the
Question Of adjournment and that of the
Worlds fair millions are involved in a doubt
hat can be dispelled only by developments
