WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-After filibus-
tering for two hours on the worlds ialr
bill, the houee adjourned.
Holman introduced during the session
resolution to extend the current sun
dry civil appropriations to blank daSe.
Accompanying it were two resolutions
by Dockery one for a cloture rule on
Holman's resolution, the other to give
it parliamentary status.
Kilgore, of Texas, says he favors con-
tinued filibustering against the worlds
fair compromise bill, and the probabil-
ity of the worlds fair getting any ap-
preparation, now looks small.
THE PEACE COMMITTEE.
The peace committee of ten members
of the house, on the worlds fair matter,
met this morning, and, as the hours
progressed, the statements Of those who
came out of the conference were to the
effect that an agreement would probably
be reached. About o'clock the follow
ing basis was agreed to-:
The house is to reconsider its action
on the sundry civil bill, by which 1T
agreed to the senate amendment appro-
priating $5 900, 900 for the worlds fair,
and the bill will be sent back to confer
ence with the understanding that it
shall be eliminated from the bill.
The Durborow worlds fair bill shall
be taken up, and shall be voted on Sat
urday. The amount carried by this bill,
however, is to be reduced from $5, 600 900
to SO, 300, 900, and made direct gift.
The committee simply submits the
agreement to the caucus, and the mem
bers are not bound to vote for the Dur
borrow bill. They merely agree, il the
caucus accepts the proposition, not to
filibuster against it.
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
A Democratic caucus was held at 2
pm. The meeting was one OF dissen-
sion. The Texas delegation lett the hall
