THE WORLDS FAIR
VIII be n Subject of Delay in Congress on
Account OF Opposition.

Account OF Opposition.
Washington. July 21.-(Special.)- con
gress might be in session several weeks
yet. A deadlock over the five million dol
lar worlds fair appropriation is prob
able.
Whether such can be broken by an
agreement Of some kind is merely
matter Of conjecture.
The Sunday civil bill continuing the ap-
preparation put on by the senate, and
disagreed to by the house,is in conference.
Messrs Holman and Sayres, two of the
house confereeS, will never agree to 1t.
On either Saturday or Monday, the CON
ference committee will report to the two
houses that they have failed to agree.
Then another vote will be taken. Nat
orally the senate will decide to reccde
from It's adoption of the appropriations
What the house will do no one knows
On Tuesday the appropriation was de-
feated in the house by but twelve ma
iority Since that time the worlds fair
lobby has been doing effective work. Sev-
eral members who voted against the ap-
preparation have gone home, and the
worlds fair people claim theyswill have
enough votes to carry the appropriation
through when another vote is taken
Even though they had the votes the
chances of the worlds fair getting the
money are but slight. There are fifty
southern members who declare it shall
never go through. They assert that they
will tilibuSter all summer before the house
shall make the appropriation. In the
first place they declare it would be an I'M
constitutional act, and again they argue
that they would have no explanation to
make tO their constituents why they
should deed money to a Chicago corpora
ton without collateral, and refuse to lend
the farmer money on his cotton as Sc
curity. The government, they also say,
has no right N go into partnership with
Il private corporation, and indeed the OPP
position put forth many strong arguments
against the appropriation.
The knights of Labor representatives
and the worlds fair managers shook
hands and made up today, although there
was every indication yesterday that a Seri-
GUS breach would occur.
The Bill Called Up.
Mr.. Henderson. of North Carolina called

What Watson Is Going to Do.
Washington, July ~. - Especially -
The York Times has an article
from Washington this morning in which
it says that Tom Watson asserts that he
will have no difficulty in being reelected,
and that he is determined to defeat the
reelection of Speaker Crisp. The cor
respondent, Il friend of Watsons, says
that he will go into Mr.. Crisp's district
Immediately upon the adjournment of
congress, and will make speeches in every
| county He says the third party is very
strong in that district, and asserts that
the reelection of the speaker is by no
means certain OF course, such talk is
the merest bosh, but it is interesting
to know what Mr.. Watson's opinions
about Georgia really are.
