WASHINGTON, August 4.-To-day's
proceedings in the House seem to make
| it certain that the Chicago Fair will be
aided by the Government TO the extent
of 81. 500, 900 as provided by the Durbar-
row bill. The friends of the fair are
now confident that the House will pass
this bill tomorrow by a small majority
and they are as certainly in cheerful
mood as are all other members and Sen
ators with few exceptions because the
passage Of the bill means the speedy
winding up of the session. The majority
: which the bill is likely to get will be be-
tween ten and fifteen, tits thought to-
night. Il
The settlement of the difficulty gives
great satisfaction to the leaders Of the
| House as the prolonged wrangle was
doing the party no good. tits said that
in the past forty-eight hours Speaker
Crisp has received over two hundred
kilograms urging him to do all in his
power to effect settlement of the mat
ter so that Congress could adjourn. 1t
was this fact which induced the com
mittee on rules to bring in the cloture
resolution which to-day Splendidly
souelched Mr.. Bailey and the other OBJ
iectors when they undertook to renew
! filibustering. Representatives Pendle-
ton and Capehart returned here this
morning in obedience to kilograms fIom
the speaker asking their attendance.
All the West Virginia members will
probably vote for the Durburow bill TO-
morrow.
Everything moved along smooth
| ly this morning in the pro-
gramme arranged yesterday by
| the Democratic caucus. Officers Of
! the Fair have come to the conclusion
that the best thing that can be done is
| to accept the situation and endeavor 20
pass the Durbarow bill rather than con-
tinue the fight and get nothing. In
accordance with this advice the Demo-
cratic Worlds Fair members in Con-
gress will not resort TO OBJ
structive tactics, but will vote
with their colleagues TO carry
! out the caucus agreement, The Re-

matters, this course being taken on the
advice given Representative Hooskins
of Illinois by directors General Davis
as to the wishes of the Worlds Fair
managers, but the Republican policy
will be to make it very plain that the
whole responsibility rests with the
Democrats and they propose to keep
their records clear by steadily
voting for the $1,000, 900 propo-
| sition. The sundry Civil bill
! has been sent to conference; but there
! it will doubtless be held until the House
! has disposed of the Durbarrow bill, for
! the Republican senators are determined
that there shall be no sharp practice, as
they term it, Without the Worlds
Fair amendments the bill can be easily
disposed of. So it IS improbable that
| the conferees will meet, or at least re-
port, before Monday.
Mr.. Holman, OF Indiana, in the House,
moved to suspend the rules and pass a
Joint resolution extending until August
10th the appropriations made by the
sundry civil appropriation act Of last
year Mr.. Henderson, Of Iowa, said
! that this was the unanimous desire OF
! the Committee on Appropriations, and
it was agreed TO without opposition.
Mr.. Holman moved TO suspend the
rules and pass a resolution that the
House shall reconsider the vote by
which the House receded from the
Worlds Fair amendment and that the
| House further insist on its disagreement
and the bill be sent to conference. This
created considerable discussion, but fin
ally Mr.. Holman's motion prevailed l4l
to so, and the sundry civil bill was sent
! to conference. MesSrs. Holman, Say
ers and Bingham were appointed con-
ferees.
Mr.. Reilly, Pennsylvania, moved 10
suspend the rules and pass a resolution
providing that vote shall be taken on
! Durborrow's bill at o'clock tomorrow.
This was agreed to and the house pro-
ceeded TO the consideration of the Dur
! borrow bill and Mr.. Reilly's substitute
! therefor. The substitute makes an
outright appropriation of 81, 500, 600.
Mr.. Pierce, of Tennessee, offered an
amendment providing for coinage of
all the abraided coins in the treasury
50. 500, 600 to be granted for the aid OF
the Worlds Fair, but nothing came
of 1t.
