As TO ADJOURNMENT,
The World's Fair Item Being the Onl
Thing Really in the way.


Thing Really In the way.
The prediction is made today BY members Of
the conference committee on the sundry civil
bill that there viii be a report laid before Con-
gress for action on Monday.
The first thing on the program Monday viii
be final action on the deficiency appropriation
bill. 1t il believed that il will not take much
time to act on the few remaining points in dis
pute and to prepare the deficiency bill for the
Presidents signature.
The program is to call up the sundry civil
conference report Immediately after the def
cheney bill. The Raum pension Office invssti-
eating committee has . special order
for Monday. but Il cannot stand
II Mr.. Holman desires to press the
sundry civil conference report. There 10 some-
what of q suspicion gaining currency, how
vote on the worlds fair item.
After decisive vote has been obtained in the
House on the worlds fair item there will be
little trouble over other points in the report
and the disposition viii be to finish up the bills
in one sitting Of the House. The
worlds fair managers expect to have . slight
majority on a SHOW down" on the appropri-
alton, and il they have such ma
jority with quorum voting, it, Of
course, settles the matter, and it ID almost
equally certain that II the next vote
should show clear and decisive majority
Of the House against the appropriation
the Senate would yield something; Either
action on the last remaining sppropri-
alton bill before Congress and final
adjournment Of Congress could not be delayed
much beyond the passage Of the last appropris-
tion bill: 60 that adjournment is possible next
Wednesday or Thur.dsy.
horo eo t.oA L.
turbing the worlds fair managers and members
who are anxious for final adjournment, and
that Is that q quorum may not vote on the
worlds fair item on Monday.
There Is vigorous effort being made to recall
absentees and to hold for few days longer
members now in the city, but chatting to get out
Of town.
One Of the active worlds fair workers said
this morning that he was afraid that with all
members present in the House casting their votes
a quorum might not be disclosed
1t is certain that some member would raise
the point Of no quorum should such happen to
be the case. The worlds fair man added that
they had kept great many Of their friends here
on the assurance that the matter would reach
q vote this week, and now some Of them, he
feared, would leave town on the afternoon and
evening trains. This would make necessary a
call of the House and delay final action.
There are not great many members In the
House at any one time these hot days, but on
vote many new faces appear, and yesterday
vote showed 200 members present and voting.
This would indicate that, barring the pros
pect Of . flibuster by southern members,
which may or may not occur. and
will continue to be matter Of spec
ulation until the last moment, a quorum
will be here on Monday even though
some Of those now in the city take their de-
pGrture. 1t ia expected that some additional
members will arrive in the city in time to vote
Monday and render possible an adjournment
of Congress-. and the fact that the
Raum report is ready to be called up viii tend
to swell the congressional attendance, the
adoption Of the resolution urging Commits
sioner Raum's dismissal being in the line Of
democratic party policy.
