| peCleu vote WOuiu De taken on the
Worlds Fair amendment to the sundry
civil bill in the House to-day without
debate, but friends OF the Fair at the
last moment concluded that it would be
better to have moro talk, and when at
2:3o o'clock the sundry civil report
again obtained the floor. Mr.. Caruth, of
Kentucky, was given tho opportunity
to explain why he had decided to change
front at this time for the appropriation
His reason was that the Fair had BE-
come national matter. Mr.. Ilaskins,
of Illinois, closed for tho appropriation,
his strong point being that by ordering
| Sunday closing the House had dimin-
ished the fair receipts.
Mr. Mcmillan closed for the opposi.
tion, urging it as necessity for
| economy.
Debate being conc nded Speaker Crisp
announced that he was satisfied that
his ruling of yesterday should be
| changed
The effect OF tho ruling was to give
Holman entire control over the situa.
ton unless the House should take it
away from him by voting down some
proposition he makes.
| The first Senate amend nc ent T proposed
| to increase the appropriation for tie
| Government exhibit, and on Holman's
motion the House, without division, in
sisted on its non-concurrence in this
| amendment.
In this way, without division all of
! the Senate Worlds Fair amendments
were sent back to conference until
the $4,000 appropriation was
reached
! Mr.. Holman, in accordance with the
| opposition programme, yielded to Mr..
! Bankhead to offer the amendment, and
the previous question being ordered, the
clerk began to call the roll on Mr..
Bankheads amendment, which tho
flibusterers expect to be test, though
it NAV not have quite full opposition
strength On tho first roll call
sixty votes were given for and 113 votes
against
The same course was followed as to
the other amendments of minor i'm
portance to the 1000, 900 appropriation,

force the fighting until the big appro-
| priation was reached
Mr.. Bankhead's amendment was de-
feated by vote of - to 14l
The next n owe was motion by Mr..
Holman that the House further insist
on It's disagreements to the Senate
amendments, to which Mr.. Bingham, of
Pennsylvania, made 9 counter motion
that the House concur Mr.. Bingham's
amendment was ruled 10 have proceed
ence.
Mr.. Holman demanded the yeas and
nays and the roll call was ordered, but
Mr.. Holman had changed his plan and
decided to fllibuster at once and was de.
handing recognition.
Mr.. bingham insisted that MIR. Hol-
nan could not interrupt the roll call
which was in progress, but Mr.. Holman
assertt d that he had demanded recog-
milton before the roll call was begun,
and the Speaker ruled that he would
have to recognize Mr.. Holman. Mr..
Holman then moved that the House re-
consider it's order for roll call, but again
changed front moment later and with
drew his objection to roll call, which be.
gan at 2:l0 on Mr.. Bingham's motion to
accept tho Senate $1,000, 900 amend
ment.
AS the call progressed there was
every symptom OF interest manifested
by tho members, many OF them kept
tally. and the area in front of the
Speakers desk was crowded with mem
bers discussing the prospects and watch.
ing every response with eager interest
When the clerk finished the calling of
the roll it was nosed around that the
motion had secured 4 ma jofity Of nearly
twenty. Holman Immediately changed
his vote from the negative to tho af-
frmativo in order hat he might be
entitled to move reconsiderat ton.
Several votes were withdrawn and tho
Speaker finally declared the motion
carried by vote of yeas. III; nays, los
AL of the Republicans voted to con-
cur in the Senate amendment and the
Farmers Alliance men voted against
concurrence. SiXty-three Democrats
voted to concur. While Holman voted
to concur, OF course he only did so for
the purpose of moving reconsideration,
and If his vote is transferred to the neg.
alive column the result would be to
make the majority in favor of concur
renee in the Fair amendments ten in
stead Of twelve, as recorded. Holman
was promptly on his feet with a motion
to reconsider, and Bingham as promptly
moved to lay that motion on the table.
Then filibustering began in earnest.
Mr.. Outhwaite, Of Ohio, moved an ad-
journment, and pending that moved
that when the House adjourn it be to
meet Friday next. This was supple
mented by Mr.. Bailey, OF Texas, with
motion for an adjournment until Satur-
day. Seventy.seven of the opponents
OF the Worlds Fair proposition refrained
from voting and Mr.. Bailey's motion
was lost, yeas 3, nays l43. The point
