y WASHINGTON, July 15.-There are
signs in the house of the approaching
dissolution of congress. Had not the
sundry civil bill come in to occupy at
tentiOn today, the whole time would
have been consumed in passing unob-
jectiOnable measures by unanimous
consent.
The area i'm front of the speakers
desk was occupied by members the mo-
ment the clerk had finished the reading
of the journal. Each member held
aioft favorite bill and sought to catch
the speakers eye. The fortunate one,
as his measure was being read, did some
missionary work, and if his bill was OBJ
jected to wreaked vengeance on his sue
cessor. The sundry civil bill occupied
almost the entire day. 1t will reach
vote Tuesday.
Mr.. Watson, OF Georgia, asked consent
for the consideration of resolution in
structing the committee on labor to in
vestigate the labor trouble at CGur
d'Alene, Idaho, and the conduct of the
Sullivan police therein.
Mr.. Pendleton, of West Virginia, ob-
jected, and the resolution was referred.
Appropriations Extended.
Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, from the
committee OH appropriations, reported
and the house passed joint resolution
extending until July 80 the appropria-
tiOns of last congress. Mr.. Holman also
reported back the sundry civil appro-
priation bill with senate amendments,
with recommendation chat all the sem
ate amendments be nOn-concurred in.
Mr.. Holman then asked consent that all
the amendments except those relating
to the worlds fair be non-concurred in
and that the worlds fair amendments
be considered in committee of the whole.
Mr.. Goodnight, of Kentucky, OBJ
jected, and the house then went into
committee OF the whole, Mr.. Lester. of
Georgia, in the chair, for the purpose of
considering the senate amendments.
All the amendments except those relat-
ing to the worlds fair were read and
non cOncurred in.
Mr.. Holman then asked consent that
general debate OIL the world'S fair
amendments shall proceed today and
/ tomorrow. and that vote shall be taken
at IL O'clock Tuesday. After good
I dead of trouble and confusion, caused
aby the raising of objections and the
withdrawal of the same, and the max
ing of counter suggestions, Mr.. HOl-
mans suggestion was acceded to.
An Unseemly Scramble.
Immediately'the chairman was sur
rounded by members DESTROYS of having
theirnames recorded upon the list of
speakers, and for ten minutes the noise
and confusion was so great that busi-
/ parative quiet had been secured, the
! r-fioor was accorded to Mr.. DurbOrrow, of
Illinois.
Mr.. DurborrOw said that the amend
ments placed upon the bill by the senate
were. subStantiallyssimilar to the pro-
visions of the bill reported to the house
by the worlds fair committee. He
therefore sent to the clerks desk and
had read the report accompanying that
measure. He also had read the presi-
dents Columbian exposition message
and the worlds fair plank in the Demo
cratic platform.
Mr.. McCreary opposed the apprOpria-
ton for the worlds fair.
Mr.. Pendetun, of West Virginia. ia
vored the appropriation. Congress had
gone further in regard to this exposition
than he thought it should have gone; :;
but it had crossed the bridge, and now
it must go on. 1t was the duty of con-
gress to take no srep backward.
Mr.. Little, of New York. opposed the
appropriation.
Mir. Taylor, of Illinois. contended
that the people of Chicago had strictly
complied with every provision of the
worlds fair act. The house might by
its act disgrace this nation; Chicago
never. The fair had been located i'll
Chicago, and whatever the action of
congress might be, the people of Chi
cagO would see that it was success.
The committee tht n rose and the
house took recess, tht evening session

pension bills.
The session of the house tonight was
devoted to the consideration of private
pension bills. SiXty-three bills were
considered in the committee of the
